What exactly are comics? Can they be art, literature, or even pornography? How should we understand the characters, stories, and genres that shape them?Thinking about comics raises a bewildering range of questions about representation, narrative, and value. Philosophy of Comics is an introduction to these philosophical questions. In exploring the history and variety of the comics medium, Sam Cowling and Wesley D. Cray chart a path through the emerging field of the philosophy of comics.Drawing from a diverse range of forms and genres and informed by case studies of classic comics such as Watchmen, Tales from the Crypt, and Fun Home, Cowling and Cray explore ethical, aesthetic, and ontological puzzles, including: - What does it take to create-or destroy-a fictional character like Superman?- Can all comics be adapted into films, or are some comics impossible to adapt?- Is there really a genre of "superhero comics"?- When are comics obscene, pornographic, and why does it matter? At a time of rapidly growing interest in graphic storytelling, this is an ideal introduction to the philosophy of comics and some of its most central and puzzling questions.- Shop: buecher

Revenge of Krakenstein , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min
Last seen sinking to the extreme depths of the Pacific in Krakenstein vs. Koalatron, the giant creature dubbed Krakenstein rises and vengefully attacks...Las Vegas?Meanwhile south of Australia, an incredible ancient "laboratory" is accidentally discovered by scientists looking for mystery-shrouded Emerald Island. Older than the dinosaurs and seemingly carved from the bedrock beneath the ocean floor, the staggering realm features technology beyond humanity's wildest dreams - stuff with the potential to save the biosphere, alter it to the whims of those who master the uber-tech...or destroy it completely. And to top things off, a maniacal genius named Gideon Maven and his wealthy sponsor, Eleanora Cowling, are breeding their own giant monsters to force the leaders of the world to change their ways: A tardigrade or "water bear" the size of a battleship attacks Anchorage Harbor, hideously devouring everyone in sight, but that's merely a prelude to immense houseflies and titanic wasps as Maven pulls out all the stops to ensure global capitulation.Renegade world-saver Jeremiah Savage, his newfound partner Key Sharlayne and their crew find themselves in the middle of it all courtesy of an apparently altruistic billionaire and Dr. Deanna Sharlayne, who remains devoutly focused on removing Max Shepperton's mind from Krakenstein's hideous form. ungekürzt.

Picasso and Maya: Father and Daughter
A comprehensive exploration and chronicle of Picasso's depictions of his eldest daughter, Maya, and the relationship between father and child.In 2016 and 2017, Diana Widmaier-Picasso curated two exhibitions for Gagosian: the first gathered works from the collection of her mother, Maya Ruiz-Picasso, Pablo Picasso's beloved eldest daughter; and the second commemorated the relationship between Picasso and Maya. More than just a catalog of these two exhibitions, this book is a comprehensive reference publication that explores the figure of Maya throughout Picasso's work and chronicles the relationship between the artist and his daughter. The volume features an intimate interview between Ruiz-Picasso and Widmaier-Picasso, along with archival photographs by Edward Quinn and from the Picasso family, many of which have never been published before.New scholarly essays complete the publication, with contributions by distinguished Picasso scholars such as Elizabeth Cowling, Carmen Giménez, and Pepe Karmel. A section of the book is devoted to Picasso's plaster sculpture La Femme Enceinte (1959) and includes a discussion of Roe Ethridge's vivid, specially commissioned photographs of this work.- Shop: buecher
