The Superhero / The Superhero Project

The Superhero The Superhero Project Monday 7th September - Wednesday 9th September 2015 Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom Call for Presentations: "Superman! Champion of the oppressed, the physical marvel who had sworn to devote his existence to helping those in need." - Action Comics #1, 1938 (DC Comics) In the twenty-first century, in which notions of good versus evil have thrived, the word "hero" has taken on a striking resonance. As a consequence, the decades-old superhero of comic books (as established in the guise of Superman in 1938) has been thrust to the forefront of mainstream popular culture, present across multiple media and the character's signature emblems now among the most recognisable in the world, functioning as powerful, pervasive and vastly profitable brands. Most notably, this domination is no more apparent than the realms of blockbuster cinema. With Superman: The Movie (1978) having provided an epic, special effects-fuelled spectacle finally worthy of the superhero's stature, and the vast cultural and commercial impact of Batman (1989), the superhero movie made a popular return to prominence with X-Men (2000), leading to billion-dollar earning and critically-lauded films such as The Dark Knight (2008) and The Avengers (2012) - and with more than thirty further films set to be released by 2020. Meanwhile, real individuals are being elevated to the status of superhero - literally and metaphorically. The "First Responders" of the 9/11 attacks were labelled as super-heroic, new military technologies enable personnel to surpass their natural physical potential in combat, while the 2013 "Soldiers of Steel" media campaign directly equates US National Guard soldiers to the titular "Man of Steel", Superman. After seventy-seven years of comic book existence, the superhero remains regarded as an inspirational figure, but also a divisive one, perceived in some quarters as a promoter of violence and vigilantism. Superheroes position themselves as purveyors of a specific set of moral values, sometimes above the law, but always striving for the greater good. Superheroes are typically depicted in a constant struggle with notions of personal responsibility, and questions of identity and destiny, in line with Joseph Campbell's "Monomyth". Perceived as a modern form of mythology or folklore, the superhero currently occupies a diverse and expansive space in modern popular culture. Yet, while still largely American in focus, the superhero has become increasingly international, capable of reflecting specific issues and operating as a powerful messenger of them - a power they have possessed since their inception. As more and more people wear the symbols of superheroes (via t-shirts at al) as an expression of values as well as fandom, the superhero is becoming us. The 1st Global Conference on Superheroes invites inter-disciplinary discussion on superheroes and the notion of the super-heroic. Areas of discussion could include: the propagation of the notion of the soldier as superhero; post-human technological augmentation and the cyborg body as enabled by Google Glass; the real-life costumed superhero group known as The Rain City Superhero Movement; India's superhero Priya and the character's addressing of sexual violence; Marvel Comics' decision to change the gender of Norse god superhero Thor and the ethnicity of Spider-Man; superhero movies' presentation of urban mass disaster as spectacle; the co-opting of the Guy Fawkes mask as made famous by Alan Moore's V for Vendetta mask by social activist group Anonymous. Indicative themes for discussion may include but are not limited to: 1. Post-Humanism: - Technology and augmentation / armour - Cyborgs - Prosthesis - The Ubermensch - Mutations and genetic engineering 2. Dual Identities: - The power of the mask - Alter-egos and secret identities - Costume and Disguise - Cosplay 3. Gender and Ethnicity: - Hyper-masculinity - Depictions of the female superhero - Ethnic diversity in superhero comics and their readership. 4. Sexuality: - LGBT Superheroes - Queer readings of established characters - Gay Representation in Superhero Comics - Camp and the Superhero - Superheroes vs Sexual Violence 5. Deconstruction: - The anti-hero - The post-9/11 Superhero - The Everyman superhero 6. Social Responsibility: - Vigilantism - Superheroes as role models - Childhood play - Heroism and cowardice 7. The Heroic and the Patriotic: - The monomyth (the hero's journey) - Patriotism and nationalism - National personification - The Soldier as Superhero - "Truth, justice and the American way" 8. Pop Culture Depictions: - Adaptation - The superhero as brand - Merchandising and franchising - Fans and cultural capital In addition to the presentation of conference papers, the Steering Group welcomes the submission of shorts workshops and accounts of professional practice, as well as other contributions, including performances. It particularly welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals. What to Send: 300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 5th June 2015. If an abstract is accepted for the conference, a full draft paper should be submitted by Friday 7th August 2015.
