Sinossi

"Cultural Adaptation Flow" explores the complex journey of LGBTQ comics as they cross cultural boundaries, focusing on how these narratives are translated, localized, and interpreted for diverse audiences. This goes beyond simple linguistic translation, delving into the negotiation of cultural norms, societal values, and political sensitivities. Intriguingly, the book reveals how the adaptation process involves maintaining artistic integrity while ensuring cultural appropriateness, a delicate balance that can either foster understanding or incite controversy.

 
The book uniquely frames cultural adaptation as a dynamic "flow," emphasizing the ongoing negotiation of meanings rather than a static transfer. It begins by establishing key concepts from cultural studies, queer theory, and translation studies. It then progresses through case studies analyzing specific LGBTQ comics in different cultural contexts, drawing on textual analysis and interviews with translators and readers. Finally, it synthesizes these findings to offer a broader understanding of the challenges and ethical considerations involved, making connections to fields like sociology, gender studies, and linguistics.

 
The book's approach highlights the significant social impact of translated media and the construction of gender and sexual identities across cultures.

AC DC's Highway To Hell

Joe Bonomo

Released in 1979, AC/DC's Highway To Hell was the infamous last album recorded with singer Bon Scott, who died of alcohol poisoning in London in February of 1980.  Officially chalked up to ""Death by Misadventure,"" Scott's demise has forever secured the album's reputation as a partying primer and a bible for lethal behavior, branding the album with the fun chaos of alcoholic excess and its flip side, early death.  The best songs on Highway To Hell achieve Sonic Platonism, translating rock & roll's transcendent ideals in stomping, dual-guitar and eighth-note bass riffing, a Paleolithic drum bed, and insanely, recklessly odd but fun vocals.Joe Bonomo strikes a three-chord essay on the power of adolescence, the durability of rock & roll fandom, and the transformative properties of memory. Why does Highway To Hell matter to anyone beyond non-ironic teenagers?  Blending interviews, analysis, and memoir with a fan's perspective, Highway To Hell dramatizes and celebrates a timeless album that one critic said makes "disaster sound like the best fun in the world."

The Music and Mythocracy of Col...

Jerry Grillo, Chuck Leavell

Col. Bruce Hampton was a charismatic musical figure who launched and continued to influence the jam band genre over his fifty-plus years performing. Part bandleader, soul singer, storyteller, conjuror, poet, preacher, comedian, philosopher, and trickster, Col. Bruce actively sought out and dealt in the weird, wild underbelly of the American South. The Music and Mythocracy of Col. Bruce Hampton is neither a true biography in the Boswellian sense nor a work of cultural studies, although it combines elements of both. 
 
  
 
Grillo's interviews with Hampton and his bandmates, family, friends, and fans paint a fascinating portrait of an artist who fostered some of the best music ever played in America. Grillo aims not so much to document and demystify the self-mythologizing performer as to explain why his fans and friends loved him so dearly. Hampton's family history, his place in Atlanta and southeastern musical history, his significant friendships and musical relationships, and the controversies over personnel in his Hampton Grease Band over the years are all discussed. What emerges is a portrait of a P. T. Barnum of the musical world, but one who included his audience and invited them through the tent door to share his inside joke, with plenty of joy to go around.
