Batman and the Multiplicity of Identity: The Contemporary Comic Book Superhero as Cultural Nexus (Routledge Advances in Comics Studies)
by Jeffrey A. BrownConcentrating primarily on contemporary depictions of Batman in the comic books, this book analyzes why Batman is so immensely popular right now in America and globally, and how the fictional Dark Knight reveals both new cultural concerns and longstanding beliefs about American values. The organizing premise is that while Batman is perceived as a very clearly defined character, he is open to a wide range of interpretations and depictions in the comics (what Henry Jenkins refers to as "multiplicities"), each of which allows access to different cultural issues. The idea of Batman functions as an anchoring point out of which multiple Batmen, or Batman-like characters, can occupy different positions: Grim Batman, Gay Batman, Female Batman, Black Batman, Cute Batman, and so on. Each iteration opens up a discussion of different cultural issues pertinent to modern society, such as sexuality, ethnicity, feminism and familial relationships.

To this end, it offers for the first time a new type of methodology adequate to the object, which delves both into materials scarcely studied in this context and well-known materials seen in a new light. This is a multidisciplinary work aimed at both the specialist and the global reader, bringing together comic studies, philosophical criticism, and literary criticism in a debate on the fate of our current global civilization.

Batman: Resurrection (Batman #1)
by John Jackson MillerAfter The Joker&’s death, Batman and Gotham City face a mysterious new threat in this direct sequel to Tim Burton&’s iconic Batman. The Joker is dead, but not forgotten. Gotham City is saved, but it is still not safe. By night, its new symbol of hope, Batman, continues his fight to protect the innocent and the powerless. By day, his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, wonders whether there may someday be a future beyond skulking the city&’s rooftops or the cavernous halls of his stately manor alongside the ever-dutiful Alfred Pennyworth. But even after death, the Clown Prince of Crime&’s imprint can be seen in more than just the pavement. Remnants from The Joker&’s gang are leading wannabes fascinated by his bizarre mystique on a campaign of arson that threatens the city—even as it serves greedy opportunists, including millionaire Max Shreck. And survivors of exposure to The Joker&’s chemical weapon Smylex continue to crowd Gotham City&’s main hospital. To quell the chaos, Batman needs more than his cape and his well-stocked Utility Belt. Bruce Wayne is forced into action, prompting a partnership with a charismatic scientist to help solve the health crisis. But as he works in both the shadows and the light, Bruce finds himself drawn deeper into Gotham City&’s turmoil than ever before, fueling his obsession to save the city—an obsession that has already driven a wedge between him and Vicki Vale. The loyal Alfred, who had hoped Bruce&’s efforts as Batman could help him find closure, finds the opposite happening. Nightmares begin to prompt Bruce to ask new questions about the climactic events in the cathedral, and investigations by Commissioner Gordon and reporter Alexander Knox into the arsons only amplify his concerns. Having told the people of Gotham City that they&’d earned a rest from crime, Batman finds the forces of evil growing ever more organized—and orchestrated—by a sinister hand behind the scenes. The World&’s Greatest Detective must solve the greatest mystery of all: Could The Joker have somehow survived? And could he still have the last laugh against the people of Gotham City?

Batouala
by René MaranNous sommes en 1921. À cette époque, personne n'ose douter du bien-fondé du colonialisme, porteur de civilisation et de paix. Une voix pourtant s'élève. Celle de René Maran, auteur antillais (1887-1960), alors fonctionnaire au ministère des Colonies, qui dénonce, dans ce roman précédé d'une terrible préface, les abus de l'administration en Afrique-Équatoriale française et les méfaits de l'impérialisme. Ses propos déclenchent un véritable scandale qui culminera avec le prix Goncourt qui lui sera tout de même décerné la même année. René Maran n'ose-t-il pas écrire : « Si l'on pouvait savoir de quelle bassesse est faite la vie coloniale, on n'en parlerait plus. Elle avilit peu à peu. Rares sont, même parmi les fonctionnaires, les coloniaux qui cultivent leur esprit. Ils n'ont pas la force de résister à l'ambiance, à l'alcool... Ces excès et d'autres, ignobles, conduisent ceux qui y excellent à la veulerie la plus abjecte. Cette veulerie ne peut qu'inquiéter de la part de ceux qui ont chargé de représenter la France. »
