Biblioteca Studio Ghibli: Porco Rosso

Autor: Manu Robles

Número de Páginas: 273

Porco Rosso es una de las películas más personales e introspectivas de la filmografía de Hayao Miyazaki. Su éxito confirmó la dinámica positiva que logró Studio Ghibli a principios de los noventa, cuyos puntos culminantes fueron La princesa Mononoke(1997) y El viaje de Chihiro (2001). La historia, situada en 1929 durante la Italia fascista gobernada por Benito Mussolini, tiene como protagonista a un solitario piloto de hidroaviones que, tras vivir el horror de la Primera Guerra Mundial, regresa milagrosamente transformado en un cerdo antropomorfo. Convertido en cazarrecompensas, vive apartado de todo y de todos, a excepción de su amiga de la adolescencia Gina. Miyazaki insufla en esta atípica película sus más grandes aficiones y confiere a su protagonista algunos de sus demonios internos. Con un tono en ocasiones cómico y en otras crítico, en Porco Rosso tenemos la ocasión de ver a un Miyazaki diferente. En este tercer volumen de la colección Biblioteca Studio Ghibli, Manu Robles explora el universo de Porco Rosso a través de su contexto, sus personajes, sus temas, sus influencias, su música y sus referencias, sin olvidarse de su trasfondo histórico.

The Viking Battalion

Autor: Olaf Minge , Kyle Ward

Número de Páginas: 420

A history of the true World War II operations of the little known Norwegian American Battalion, a special unit that fought across Europe to free Norway. "What is engaging about this book is that you get to hear the authentic voices of the soldiers through their memoirs, journal entries, and letters. Some are long, some are short, but all are worth reading for the insights you get into the minds of the ordinary soldier and what catches his eye." — The Norwegian American Hidden in the crevasses of World War II history is the story of the 99th Infantry Battalion (Separate). A small unit that rarely gets any attention, it is part of a fascinating story. Alongside battalions of Austrian, Greek, Filipino and Japanese Americans, the Army decided to create an all Norwegian American battalion, originally trained at Camp Hale, Colorado, along with the 10th Mountain Division, with the original mission of liberating Norway. Their exploits during training brought them enough notoriety that members of the 99th were recruited to start the First Special Service Force and a branch of the OSS. Although they were not initially sent to Norway, they would fight in Normandy, across France and...

Jacksonville's theatre and performance history is rich with flair and drama. The theatres, drive-ins and movie houses that brought entertainment to its citizens have their own exciting stories.

The Alhambra has been everyone's favorite dinner theatre since 1967's debut of Come Blow Your Horn. Local author Dorothy K. Fletcher revives the history of Jacksonville's theatres. Lights, camera, action!

The Law in Graphic Narratives

Autor: Giuseppe Martinico , Gianpaolo Maria Ruotolo

Número de Páginas: 192

Comics, manga and anime can offer an interesting perspective from which to explore representations of the law in popular culture. This book offers a better understanding of the juridical subtexts of such cultural artefacts by bringing together scholars in legal theory and comparative and international law. While the contributions in the first part of the volume unpack the relationships between normative systems (law and morality above all) in graphic narratives by Marvel (Daredevil) and DC heroes (Batman), the second part of the volume looks at the role played by law and lawyers in different legal systems through case studies such as She Hulk. Finally, the last part focusses on the role of international law in the comic (multi)universe and in Japanese animation movies such as Porco rosso). This collection extends research into comics beyond Anglo-American culture, which is still hegemonic in this literature, and makes it possible to read the legal phenomena dealt with in the pop culture products analysed through a lens other than that of Anglo-American law.
