PLAYING SUPERHEROES --NOTES --BIBLIOGRAPHY --INDEXIn The Poetics of Slumberland, Scott Bukatman celebrates play, plasmatic possibility, and the life of images in cartoons, comics, and cinema. Bukatman begins with Winsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland to explore how and why the emerging media of comics and cartoons brilliantly captured a playful, rebellious energy characterized by hyperbolic emotion, physicality, and imagination. The book broadens to consider similar "animated" behaviors in seemingly disparate media-films about Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent van Gogh; the musical My Fair Lady and the story of Frankenstein; the slapstick comedies of Jerry Lewis; and contemporary comic superheroes-drawing them all together as the purveyors of embodied utopias of disorder.Animated filmsHistory and criticismComic books, strips, etcHistory and criticismFantastic, The, in artFantasy in motion picturesAnimated filmsHistory and criticism.Comic books, strips, etc.History and criticism.Fantastic, The, in art.Fantasy in motion pictures.700/.415Bukatman Scott1957-1595079MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812542203321The poetics of Slumberland3915877UNINA
