Trade Paperback. Condizione: Fine. First Edition First Printing. 293 Pages Indexed. Brand New condition. For more than 75 years, Catwoman has forged her own path in a clear-cut world of stalwart heroes, diabolical villains and damsels in distress. Sometimes a thief, sometimes a vigilante, sometimes neither and sometimes both, the mercurial Catwoman gleefully defies classification. Her relentless independence across comic books, television and film appearances set her apart from the rest of the superhero world. When female characters were limited to little more than romantic roles, Catwoman used her feminine wiles to manipulate Batman and escape justice at every turn. When male villains dominated Gotham on the small screen, Catwoman entered the mix and outshone them all. When female-led comics were few and far between, Catwoman headlined her own series for over 20 years. True to her nature, Catwoman stole the show everywhere she appeared, regardless of the medium. But her unique path had its downsides as well. Her existence on the periphery of the superhero world made her expendable, and she was prone to lengthy absences. Her villainous origins also made her susceptible to sexualized and degrading depictions from her primarily male creators in ways that most conventional heroines didn't face. Exploring the many incarnations of this cultural icon offers a new perspective on the superhero genre and showcases the fierce resiliency that has made Catwoman a fan favorite for decades. Contents: Perjured Origins, A Conspicuous Pause, Same Time Same Cat Channel, A Streak of Heartbreaks, Gone Astray, Hear Me Roar, Leaping into Animation, Glaring Fixations, A Novel Perspective, Cinematic Catastrophe, Sidekick Tales, and Perusing the New 52.

In the year 2000, Fiji was the site of chaos: a coup d'etat; marital law; near civil war; local takeovers of police stations, factories, resorts, even military bases. Why has the social contract of the nation-state been unsustainable there? What is this social contract in real history, especially since World War II? This book reconfigures the issues for the anthropology of nations and nationalism, away from nationalism as the culture of modernity, toward the nation-state as an artifact of American power. Benedict Andersons's vastly influentiaal Imagined Communities led a generation of scholars to study, national imaginaries, print capitalism, shared memories and identities. Now this book offers an extensive and devastating critique of Anderson's approach. The authors focus not on imagination but on legal, ritual, and electoral representation in the formation of comunities. They stress not modernity, but decolonizaiton. They track consequences not only of nationalist sentiments, but also of nation-state realities. Their emphasis is not on memory and identity, but on will and power. Fiji's story is one of legally entrenched racism and struggles for, against, and about democracy. Its dramatic crises reveall the force and ilimits of changing global poitical structures, empires to nation-states.
