Full textThis dissertation analyzes issues of race, ethnicity, and identity in American comics and visual culture, and identifies important areas for alternative means to cultural authority located at the intersections of verbal and visual representation. The symbolic qualities that communicate ethnicity and give ethnicity meaning in American culture are illuminated in new ways when studied within the context of the highly symbolic medium of comics. Creators of comics are able to utilize iconic qualities, among other unique formal qualities of the medium, to construct new visual narratives around ethnicity and identity, which require new and multidisciplinary perspectives for comprehending their communicative complexity. This dissertation synthesizes cultural and critical analysis in combination with formal analysis in an effort to further advance the understanding of comics and their social implications in regard to race and ethnic identity. Much like film scholars in the 1960s, comics scholars in the United States currently are in the process of establishing a core of methodological and theoretical approaches, including Lacanian theories of the image, the comic mapping of symbolic order, the recognition of self in undetailed faces, comics closure, and the implications of the comics gutter. Drawing upon these ideas and additional perspectives offered by scholars of film and literary studies, such as the relationship between ethnicity and the symbolic, the scopophilic gaze, and filmic suture, I analyze the following visual texts: Henry Kiyama's The Four Immigrants Manga, Gene Yang's American Born Chinese, and Anna Deavere Smith's Twilight: Los Angeles. The dissertation also performs a multimedia analysis of the current ascendency of geek culture, its relationship to the comics medium, and the geek protagonist as an expression of simulated ethnicity. Ultimately, the unique insights offered by the study of comics concerning principles of ethnic iconicity and identity have far reaching implications for scholars of visual and verbal culture in other mediums as well.

Shi, Yeting. "L'adaptation des pièces comiques du théâtre français au cinéma." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015BOR30013/document.
Full textEvery year in France, plenty of new movies are adapted from literary works, among them, we can often notice the films adapted from comic plays. Indeed, since its invention, the cinema is closely related to the theater, especially to the comic plays. The filmmakers try to find their inspiration in classic plays (The Miser, La Fausse suivante, Cyrano de Bergerac, etc.) as well as modern plays (La Cage aux Folles, Dinner of Fools, The First Name, etc.) but also in vaudeville (Un chapeau de paille d’Italie, Love on the Rack, etc.), in dinner theater (the plays of the Splendid) and in the plays of Sacha Guitry and Marcel Pagnol, who experienced the boom period of « théâtre filmé ». As two performing arts, theater and cinema share a lot of common points but have also many differences. They influence each other. The audience, unconsciously, watches the theatrical performance with a « cinématisée » vision. Conversely, we deploy theatricality in each sequence of the film. In the comic plays, what is the relationship between cinema and theater? Are the comic elements of theater the same as those in cinema? What effects do they give? The study of the adaptation of comic plays to the cinema in the period defined by our corpus lets us see the principles of adaptation and know the change in the relationship between theater and cinema. This change shows us the maturing process of a young art —the art of cinema. The aesthetic values that we have reveald in this work will help us understand the performing arts in a deep way, and the social value of an adapted film will let us realize the need of this adaptation

Marvel and DC Comics are two of the most popular comic book companies in the US. They are responsible or the creation of well-known characters such as Superman and Iron Man. Within the last few decades the comics because popular film franchises. Both companies release several films every year from their respective cinematic universes. These are highly grossing movies and popular enough to have character costumes produced for purchase. Popular cultural phenomenon such as these film franchises provides an opportunity to study social topics such as gender inequality and heteronormativity. This study focuses on the on-screen depictions of these superbeing characters in order to establish a connection between gender and subjectivity in these super-human bodies. Subjectivity, defined by Iris Marion Young’s conceptualization of a feminist phenomenology uses the themes of motivated action, violence and protection, and sexual spectacle to determine if there is a gendered difference in the ways these characters are able to be super and how that impacts their overall subjectivity level. The data supports the theory that male superbeing character are allowed to be full subjects who are able to act upon the world while female superbeing characters are still relegated to the sphere of objectification.

Full textCette étude examine le rôle de la nostalgie dans le cinéma québécois contemporain à travers l'analyse de deux films de 2008 sur le passage à l'âge adulte, dont l'action se déroule dans les années soixante : Maman est chez le coiffeur (Léa Pool, 2008) et C'est pas moi, je le jure ! (Philippe Falardeau, 2008). Alors que les films nostalgiques et la nostalgie elle-même sont vivement critiqués pour prétendument favoriser un rapport superficiel à l'Histoire et un dangereux détachement vis-à-vis du présent, cette Thèse soutient que dans le contexte du Québec, les films traitant du passage à l'âge adulte et de la nostalgie entretiennent de longue date des liens influents avec l'imaginaire collectif et qu'ils doivent être considérés comme porteurs d'un important travail critique. En outre, ces films reflètent les changements profonds advenus dans la mémoire culturelle du Québec et, loin d'empêcher une prise en compte de son avenir, donnent plus de raisons encore de s'engager au regard de celui-ci. Sur la base de ces observations, cette Thèse développe une argumentation en faveur d'une plus juste appréciation du potentiel de la nostalgie elle-même.

Full textA 26-minute docu-comedy product of my studies in film and television production, The Traveling Jewish, captures improvised moments of social interaction through documentary filming style. Through filming, editing, animation and music, it becomes an entertaining half-hour of television and social commentary. It is with each cut, layer, added graphics, omitted sound or musical accompaniment, that the viewer is guided into the cultural understanding and comedic inclination of the creator of such a piece. In doing so, I believe we are opening up a new genre of Television, the Docu-Comedy, which aims to explore comedy in site-specific landscapes, through primarily improvised scenes, using the discretion of the director to do otherwise when narrative comprehension is at risk. In this way humor exists in a way not often exploited on television. As humor serves as a forum to bring to the attention of society activities, beliefs, morals, etc., at the same time challenging their validity or even ethical realities, its mere existence is often seen as a sign of the health of a society. This paper looks at all the technical and theoretical elements of such a proposal.

Full textThis research investigates the existent relations between digital transposition phenomenon and transmedia on a mutual influence context of comic book and game culture and its repercussions on digital storytelling structures. The methodological proposal is to read and deepen the relations between different concepts in search of its understanding process as a digital culture phenomenon, identifying as an historical action previous to transmedia storytelling: the transmediatic jump. For this, it uses superheroes, characters born in comic books at the beginning of the twentieth century, to show this path and the passage from the concept of transformation by the transmediatic jump to the transposition phenomenon and the transmedia object. It also show that the model object has philosophical, psychological, cultural and ontological features that made them leading figures on the modern entertainment industry that only exists on transmedia plurality. The research done is theoretical, as it s a study that looks forward to concept rebuilding and to enhance theoretical fundaments. The utilized method is bibliographic research, using prevailing materials about the theme, such as: Scott McCloud and Will Eisner as the main references about comic books structure and language; Gerard Jones research as the most used source about superheroes and its creators History; Joseph Campbell points the mythological way and Richard Reynolds connect it to superhero, central to comprehend storytelling that flows from a media support to other; and Janet Murray is the perfect complement to understand how this structures works at the digital game environment. This is how the superheroes transmedia jump, comics-movie-game, discussion base is formed
A pesquisa investiga a relação entre os fenômenos digitais da transposição e transmídia no contexto da mútua influência entre a cultura dos HQs e games e suas repercussões nas estruturas narrativas digitais. Metodologicamente propõe a leitura e o aprofundamento das relações entre os conceitos buscando o seu entendimento de processo enquanto fenômeno da cultura digital, identificando- os em uma ação história anterior à narrativa transmídia: o salto transmidiático. Para tanto, utiliza-se do movimento e história dos super-heróis, personagens nascidos nas histórias em quadrinhos (HQs) no início do século XX, para demonstrar este caminho e passagem do conceito de transformação do salto transmidiático para o fenômeno da transposição e o objeto transmídia. Mostra ainda que o objeto modelar (HQs) possui características filosóficas, psicológicas, culturais e ontológicas que os tornaram protagonistas da moderna indústria do entretenimento, a qual não existe senão na pluralidade transmídia. A pesquisa realizada é teórica, pois se trata de um estudo com vistas a reconstruir conceitos, para a melhoria de fundamentos teóricos. O método utilizado é a pesquisa bibliográfica, utilizando os materiais existentes acerca do tema, sendo: Scott McCloud e Will Eisner as principais referências sobre a estrutura e linguagem das HQs; os estudos de Gerard Jones a fonte mais utilizada no tocante à História dos superheróis e de seus criadores; Joseph Campbell indicando o caminho mitológico e Richard Reynolds conectando essa visão aos superheróis, fundamental para compreender as narrativas que seguem de um suporte midiático a outro; com Janet Murray sendo o complemento perfeito para o entendimento do funcionamento dessas estruturas no ambiente do game digital. Forma-se assim a base para a discussão do salto transmidiático dos super-heróis: HQ-Filme-Game

Full textEver since filmmakers started making non-fiction films, they have been plagued by the question of objectivity. Is it true, is it accurate, and is it fair? Today television consumers have become sophisticated and media savvy. They know that with any documentary, a number of editorial and creative decisions are being made often by a number of people working in a team. The question in this study is how a film can still be truthful, fair and relevant for viewers despite a clear bias on the part of the filmmaker. Michael Rabiger, Stella Bruzzi, and Sheila Bernard gave great insight into the importance of fairness toward participants, while the P.O.V series aired on PBS in the US show how to make films from a particular point of view to stimulate debate. Based on this I will argue that it is possible for a filmmaker to hold a particular view and to still make a film that is fair and accurate.

Full textHybridisation, which is overwhelmingly present in many fields, has particularly influenced the evolution of cinematographic art. Although the first generations of film-makers seemed to have invented everything in this new art form, the cinema has always borrowed from the most modern technologies and the latest forms of artistic expression, while at the same time the media were taking up a larger and larger place in our everyday lives. The study of the links between them, which multiplied over the decades, allows us to understand the mechanisms contributing to the gradual abolition of the dividing lines between the media and artistic disciplines. However, the present research is not limited to the examination of works resulting from the most recent technological developments, since it also refers back to the avant-garde pioneers of the 1920’s, who set the basis for hybridisation. It is therefore centered around two main axes : on the one hand, the historical axis since cinema history has been profoundly marked by the vicissitudes of our time, and on the other hand the pluridisciplinary axis, including diverse forms of artistic expression and various media. More specifically, amid the wealth of cinematographic productions, this study proposes to take stock of the state of hybrid cinema at the turn of the century, using a corpus composed of 12 films, made in France, the United States, Canada and Japan between 1983 and 2004 and which go hand in hand with Fritz Lang’s Metropolis [1927]. Finally, it can be seen that this study has been inspired by the numerous and pertinent works and reports which have preceded it

Full textThe links between the cinema and the illustrated press were perceived very early by the observers. Now, if historians seem to agree on an "influence" of the illustrated press on the comic production of French cinema, humorous newspapers are not very interested in cinema in general and completely, or almost completely, ignore comic films. How to explain this phenomenon ? This thesis proposes to develop three lines of thought. First, we try to understand the way in which the illustrated press saw the emergence and growth of the film show at the turn of the 19th century until the mid-1910s. For most chroniclers the cinema appears as an intruder among the Parisian stage shows, deporting in a way the rivalry between theater and cinema in the illustrated press. Then, by looking at the proximity between films and newspapers, it appears that cinema borrows from newspapers as much as it recycles their comic stories, modernizes them. This leads us finally to consider the two media from the angle of their differences, both ideological and political, preventing a meeting that seemed at first sight inevitable

The master thesis for the achievement of the academic status master of science in international management (MPGI) will aim to solve the research question of how institutional voids affect the entry decision-making process of foreign venture capital firms coming to Brazil. This is a timely matter since in the past years there has been a sudden eruption of foreign VC involvement in Brazil. Based on the actionable framework by Khanna and Palpeu (2010) we conducted quantitative as well as qualitative research with two sets of interview partners in a two-phase analysis. We interviewed experts from VC firms, foreign VC firms based in Brazil and perspective VC firms that are looking to come to Brazil. We started with the former, derived lessons learned and analyzed how they affect the latter in reaching a decision. As we expected we found that depending on the industry that ventures are in, institutional voids can either pose an opportunity or a threat and hence attract or push away potential VC firms entering Brazil. Opportunities exist especially when exploiting institutional voids, for example through ventures in the marketplace efficiency. Threats are posed by investments in for instance hard infrastructure, where the economic, political and judicial systems as well as corruption and bureaucracy play demanding roles.
A tese de mestrado para a realização do acadêmico estado Master of Science in International Management (MPGI) terá como objectivo resolver a questão de como vazios institucionais afetar a decisão entrada de empresas de capital de risco estrangeiro que vêm ao Brasil a pesquisa. Esta é uma matéria oportuna uma vez que nos últimos anos tem havido uma súbita erupção de envolvimento VC estrangeiros no Brasil. Com base no quadro acionável por Khanna e Palpeu (2010) realizamos quantitativa bem como qualitativa re-pesquisa com dois conjuntos de parceiros de entrevista em uma análise em duas fases. Entrevistamos especialistas de empresas de VC, VC empresas estrangeiras sediadas no Brasil e as empresas de capital de risco perspectiva que estão olhando para vir ao Brasil. Começamos com as antigas lições aprendidas, derivados e analisados como eles afetam o último em chegar a uma decisão. À medida que experado descobrimos que dependendo da indústria que estão em ventures, vazios institucionais pode representar uma oportunidade ou uma ameaça e, portanto, atrair ou afastar potenciais empresas de capital de risco que entram Brasil. As oportunidades existem, especialmente quando explorando vazios institucionais, por exemplo através de empreendimentos na eficiência de mercado. Ameaças provenientes de investimentos em infraestrutura para o disco exemplo, onde os sistemas econômicos, políticos e judiciais, bem como a corrupção ea burocracia desempenham papéis exigentes.

Full textLa idea de esta tesis es analizar si la diversidad de género en los órganos de decisión de las empresas cotizadas españolas puede influir en la toma de decisiones de estos órganos. Para alcanzar este objetivo general, proponemos cuatro objetivos específicos. El primer objetivo es analizar si la diversidad de género en los Comités de Auditoría (de aquí en adelante, AC’s) tiene un impacto en la calidad de la información financiera, medida como el tipo de opinión que emiten los auditores externos en los informes de auditoría. Analizamos los informes de auditoría con y sin salvedades. Además, las salvedades están divididas en dos grupos: (1) errores, incumplimiento y omisión de información y (2) incertidumbres. La diversidad de género se define como la presencia de mujeres en los AC’s; el porcentaje de mujeres en los AC’s; el número de mujeres ejecutivas, institucionales e independientes del AC y el número de AC’s presididos por mujeres. Después de controlar otros factores del informe de auditoría relacionados con las salvedades, los resultados no muestran una asociación negativa entre la diversidad en los AC’s y la probabilidad de recibir salvedades por errores, incumplimientos y omisión de información, pero encontramos una relación positiva entre el número de AC’s presididos por mujeres y la probabilidad de publicar salvedades por incertidumbres, esto sugiere que tener mujeres presidentas en los AC’s mejoraría la calidad de la información financiera. La segunda idea de esta tesis es analizar si existe una brecha salarial por razón de género en los Consejos de Administración (en adelante, BD) de las empresas cotizadas de la Bolsa de Valores de Madrid desde 2004 a 2011. Nuestra hipótesis es que el porcentaje de mujeres en el BD, la presencia de mujeres en el Comité de Nombramientos y Retribuciones, el nivel de formación de las mujeres independientes del BD, el sector y la localización geográfica tienen un efecto en la brecha salarial por razón de género. Los resultados muestran que el porcentaje de mujeres en el BD y la zona geográfica no tienen efecto en la brecha salarial por razón de género. Por otra parte, los resultados indican que la presencia de mujeres en el Comité de Nombramientos y Retribución incrementa la brecha salarial por razón de género y esta se reduce cuando en el BD hay mujeres independientes que han adquirido un grado y cuando las empresas operan en el sector financiero e inmobiliario. Además, los resultados también demuestran que la antigüedad de las consejeras disminuye la brecha salarial por razón de género, mientras que hay un incremento cuando las empresas son más grandes y el tamaño del BD y los rendimientos de los activos aumentan. Por lo tanto, estas conclusiones deberían incentivar a los organismos reguladores a adoptar normativas más contundentes para mitigar la brecha salarial por razón de género. El tercer objetivo es examinar si la diversidad de género en los BD’s influye en la formación voluntaria de Comisiones Delegadas del consejo. Concretamente, nosotros suponemos que el número de mujeres del BD, el porcentaje de mujeres independientes, ejecutivas e institucionales de los BD’s, el porcentaje de acciones en manos de las mujeres del BD y la remuneración de las mujeres del BD tienen efecto sobre la creación voluntaria de Comités Delgados. Los resultados muestran que el número de mujeres en los BD’s solo fomenta la creación voluntaria de una Comisión Ejecutiva, mientras que el porcentaje de mujeres independientes del BD incrementa la creación voluntaria de todas o algunas de las Comisiones Delegadas del consejo y los Comités de Supervisión y control. El porcentaje de mujeres ejecutivas del BD reduce la probabilidad de crear una Comisión Ejecutiva. Además, el porcentaje de mujeres institucionales del BD reduce la formación de todas o algunas de las Comisiones Delegadas del consejo. El porcentaje de acciones en manos de las mujeres del BD ejercen una influencia positiva en la formación voluntaria de una Comisión Ejecutiva. Para finalizar, los resultados revelan que la retribución de las mujeres del BD no contribuye a la creación voluntaria de todas o algunas de las Comisiones Delegadas del consejo, ni a la formación de una Comisión Ejecutiva ni a la creación de una Comisión de Supervisión y Control. Finalmente, el cuarto objetivo de esta tesis es estudiar el impacto de la diversidad de género en los BD’s y la política de dividendos. Nosotros suponemos que el porcentaje de consejeras, el porcentaje de mujeres independientes, institucionales y ejecutivas del BD, y el porcentaje de acciones de las mujeres del BD tienen un impacto en el pago de dividendos. Nuestros resultados muestran que el porcentaje de mujeres y el porcentaje de acciones en manos de las mujeres del BD esta positivamente asociado con el pago de dividendos, mientras que el porcentaje de mujeres institucionales del BD tiene un impacto negativo en el pago de dividendos. El porcentaje de mujeres independientes y ejecutivas del BD no tiene un efecto en el pago de dividendos. El efecto económico de la diversidad de género en las empresas ha incrementado el interés de la disciplina financiera y contable en los últimos años, siendo extensas las contribuciones obtenidas sobre la relación entre la diversidad de género y algunos aspectos de las empresas (Erhardt et al., 2003; Adams and Ferreira, 2009; Kulich et al., 2010; Van Pelt, 2013). La introducción de la diversidad de género en los AC’s y BD’s tiene un papel importante en las órganos de decisión de las empresas españolas. Nuestra evidencia apoya la Ley 3/2007 de 22 Marzo, sobre la igualdad de género en los órganos de decisión españoles, que exige a las empresas cotizadas españolas alcanzar una cuota de mujeres del 40% en los BD’s desde 2007 hasta 2015, ya que los AC’s presididos por mujeres incrementan la probabilidad de divulgar salvedades con incertidumbres, la diversidad de género en el BD tiene un impacto en la brecha salarial por razón de género, la diversidad del consejo incrementa la creación de Comités Delegados y la presencia de mujeres en los BD’s tiene un impacto en la política de dividendos. En resumen, las mujeres han tenido que superar barreras internas y externas para conseguir altos cargos en las empresas y proporcionar un gran impacto en el gobierno corporativo. Sin embargo, los resultados muestran que hay una limitada presencia de mujeres en los altos cargos de las compañías, y en consecuencia, los avances son todavía demasiado lentos para alcanzar una cuota de mujeres del 40% en los BD’s. Por esta razón, se recomiendan fuertes sanciones gubernamentales combinados con más planes de igualdad efectivos dentro de las empresas necesarios para conseguir la cuota establecida y también es necesario continuar investigando acerca de la diversidad de género en los órganos de decisión, considerando que la diversidad de género afecta al funcionamiento y la eficiencia de los AC’s y BD’s.
