Superhero Culture Wars

Politics, Marketing, and Social Justice in Marvel Comics

By: Monica Flegel,Judith Leggatt

The reactionary Comicsgate campaign against alleged “forced” diversity in superhero comics revealed the extent to which comics have become a key battleground in America's Culture Wars. In the first in-depth scholarly study of Marvel Comics' most recent engagement with progressive politics, Superhero Culture Wars explores how the drive towards greater diversity among its characters and creators has interacted with the company's commercial marketing and its traditional fan base. Along the way the book covers such topics as: · Major characters such as Miles Morales's Spider-man, Kamala Khan's Ms. Marvel, Jane Foster's Thor, Sam Wilson's Captain America and the Secret Empire series' turncoat Captain America · Creators such as G. Willow Wilson, Jason Aaron, Nick Spencer and Michael Bendis · Marketing, the Marvel Universe, and online fan culture Superhero Culture Wars demonstrates how the marketing of Marvel comics as politically progressive has both indelibly shaped its in-world universe and characters, and led to conflicts between its corporate interests, its creators, and it audience.

A Systolic Array Optimizing Compiler

A Systolic Array Optimizing Compiler

By: Monica S. Lam

This book is a revision of my Ph. D. thesis dissertation submitted to Carnegie Mellon University in 1987. It documents the research and results of the compiler technology developed for the Warp machine. Warp is a systolic array built out of custom, high-performance processors, each of which can execute up to 10 million floating-point operations per second (10 MFLOPS). Under the direction of H. T. Kung, the Warp machine matured from an academic, experimental prototype to a commercial product of General Electric. The Warp machine demonstrated that the scalable architecture of high-peiformance, programmable systolic arrays represents a practical, cost-effective solu tion to the present and future computation-intensive applications. The success of Warp led to the follow-on iWarp project, a joint project with Intel, to develop a single-chip 20 MFLOPS processor. The availability of the highly integrated iWarp processor will have a significant impact on parallel computing. One of the major challenges in the development of Warp was to build an optimizing compiler for the machine. First, the processors in the xx A Systolic Array Optimizing Compiler array cooperate at a fine granularity of parallelism, interaction between processors must be considered in the generation of code for individual processors. Second, the individual processors themselves derive their performance from a VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) instruction set and a high degree of internal pipelining and parallelism. The compiler contains optimizations pertaining to the array level of parallelism, as well as optimizations for the individual VLIW processors.

Show Me Where It Hurts

Manifesting Illness and Impairment in Graphic Pathography

By: Monica Chiu

Show Me Where It Hurts

Manifesting Illness and Impairment in Graphic Pathography

By: Monica Chiu

In Show Me Where It Hurts, Monica Chiu argues that graphic pathography—long-form comics by and about subjects who suffer from disease or are impaired—re-vitalizes and re-visions various negatively affected corporeal states through hand-drawn images. By the body and for the body, the medium is subversive and reparative, and it stands in contradistinction to clinical accounts of illness that tend to disembody or objectify the subject. Employing affect theory, spatial theory, vital materialism, and approaches from race and ethnic studies, women and gender studies, disability studies, and comics studies, Chiu provides readings of recently published graphic pathography. Chiu argues that these kinds of subjective graphic stories, by virtue of their narrative and descriptive strengths, provide a form of resistance to the authoritative voice of biomedicine and serve as a tool to foster important change in the face of social and economic inequities when it comes to questions of health and healthcare. Show Me Where It Hurts reads what already has been manifested on the comics page and invites more of what demands expression. Pathbreaking and provocative, this book will appeal to scholars and students of the medical humanities, comics studies, race and ethnic studies, disability studies, and women and gender studies.

Elements of Scene Perception

By: Monica S. Castelhano,Carrick C. Williams

Visual cognitive processes have traditionally been examined with simplified stimuli, but generalization of these processes to the real-world is not always straightforward. Using images, computer-generated images, and virtual environments, researchers have examined processing of visual information in the real-world. Although referred to as scene perception, this research field encompasses many aspects of scene processing. Beyond the perception of visual features, scene processing is fundamentally influenced and constrained by semantic information as well as spatial layout and spatial associations with objects. In this review, we will present recent advances in how scene processing occurs within a few seconds of exposure, how scene information is retained in the long-term, and how different tasks affect attention in scene processing. By considering the characteristics of real-world scenes, as well as different time windows of processing, we can develop a fuller appreciation for the research that falls under the wider umbrella of scene processing.

A World Full of Women

By: Martha Coonfield Ward,Monica Edelstein

This revision of "A World Full of Women" will appeal to instructors and students in anthropology, or any discipline looking for a global approach to the study of women. ""Reading this book is like sitting down for an intellectually stimulating, yet thoroughly comfortable chat,"" according to one reviewer. Written by an anthropologist who has taught undergraduates for more than 30 years and designed the first official women's studies course in Louisiana, this book has been fueled by the explosion of research on women since the 1970s. A new co-author, Monica Edelstein, brings to the Fourth Edition a wealth of ethnographic experience and research with peoples of North Africa and the Middle East. Another reviewer describes this text as ""one of the few books that analyzes cultures through a gender lens. . .the book tackles and successfully dismisses many cultural-sexist illusions. . . ."" New To This Edition The revised Introduction now includes a section entitled, "Speaking of Women" that ties together issues of power and language as the jumping off point for the rest of the text. Revised and reorganized, Chapter 1 now focuses more tightly on women and work. Revised Chapter 4, now includes analysis and ethnographic examples about comparative childrearing in place of the material on female primatologists, with particular attention to breastfeeding as practiced around the world. In revised Chapter 5, the section "Questioning Romance" has been replaced with "Love Marriages and Lavish Weddings." This new section includes new research on the prevalence of the culture of romance and the increasingly elaborate weddings as global phenomena, as well as other new ethnographic and comparative materials with an emphasis on women's choices, realities, and activities in relationships. Chapter 8, "Life's Lesions: Suffering and Healing," includes a new section, "Paths to Authority," which incorporates much of Edelstein's own research. Don't Miss This Exciting Value-Added Option: The Fourth Edition is available with an Author's Choice collection of readings featuring chapter-by-chapter suggestions for incorporating articles from Pearson Education's Reading Women's Lives database.
