Padua’s work crosses the boundaries of comics as an entertainment medium, of storytelling as a textual tool, and of historical research as a simple framework for a Victorian setting. Accordingly, in my proposal, Sydney Padua’s The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage will be analysed as an example of the meeting between academic audiences and popular audiences in the context of graphic narratives. Indeed, Comics Studies call for interdisciplinarity between World Literature, Cultural Studies and Visual Studies can lead scholars to open up new research fields. ![]() Sydney Padua’s 'The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage' as a research sample between Literary Criticism and Digital Humanities As Schmitz-Emans pointed out, comics «represent an art of storytelling that is rooted in a basic and transcultural human inclination to give a narrative form to experiences and imaginations» (Schmitz-Emans 2013: 385). ![]() ![]() ![]() He was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2000. īrown currently resides and works in London and Suffolk, England. ![]() He has had a number of solo exhibitions: at the Serpentine Gallery in London in 2004, at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna in 2008, at Tate Liverpool in 2009 (later shown at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin), at the Ludwig Múzeum in Budapest in 2010, and at the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh in Arles, in Provence, in 2016. ![]() Despite these changes, he has occasionally been accused of plagiarism.

Once problems rear up at work and home, Michael finds himself seeking constant escape in the effortless intimacy and mind-blowing sex he has with Nunzio. 259 quotes from Santino Hassell: 'It doesn't change that I still want him, I still want to be with him, I still feel like the fucking air has been sucked out of the room when he walks in and I still think about him all the time. Now, casual touches and lingering looks are packed with sexual tension, and Michael can't forget the feel of his best friend's hands on him. Or so they thought until a sweltering night of dancing leads to an unexpected encounter that forever changes their friendship. ![]() From escaping their dysfunctional families in the working-class neighborhood of South Jamaica, Queens, to teaching in one of the city's most queer-friendly schools in Brooklyn, the two men have shared everything. So, it may be hard to imagine my complete joy at how right Santino Hassell got it-it really is rare (for me, or maybe Im reading the wrong books).

With those extra sixty-five words, my personal fight for justice had become everyone’s fight. Those new words said that in addition to sanctioning Sergei’s tormentors, the Magnitsky Act would sanction all other gross human rights abusers in Russia. ![]() ![]() After a dozen or so of these visits and letters, Senator Cardin and his cosponsors conferred and decided to expand the law, adding sixty-five words to the Magnitsky Act. They had inadvertently discovered a new method for fighting human rights abuses in authoritarian regimes in the twenty-first century: targeted visa sanctions and asset freezes. The senators quickly realized that they’d stumbled onto something much bigger than one horrific case. ![]() After the bill was introduced they came to Washington or wrote letters to the Magnitsky Act’s cosponsors with the same basic message: “You have found the Achilles’ heel of the Putin regime.” Then, one by one, they would ask, “Can you add the people who killed my brother to the Magnitsky Act?” “Can you add the people who tortured my mother?” “How about the people who kidnapped my husband?” And on and on. Many other victims of human rights abuses in Russia saw the same thing. I wasn’t the only one who recognized this. “While these tactics were aggressive and crude, they confirmed that our legislation had touched a nerve. ![]() ![]() In Hollywood, Bob demonstrated a bullheadedness that would shame Sisyphus himself, and when all hope was lost for the umpteenth time, the phone rang with an offer to appear on Breaking Bad-a show about how boring it is to be a high school chemistry teacher. While surviving that legendary gauntlet by the skin of his gnashing teeth, he stashed away the secrets of comedy writing-eventually employing them in the immortal "Motivational Speaker" sketch for Chris Farley, honing them on The Ben Stiller Show, and perfecting them on Mr. He somehow made his way to a job as a writer at SNL. Bob embraced a life in comedy after a chance meeting with Second City's legendary Del Close. Charting a "Homeric" decades-long "Odyssey" from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago to a dramatic career full of award nominations and including a side-trip that is baffling to all who know him, into the action-man world, it's almost like there are many Bob Odenkirks! But there is just one and one is plenty. ![]() And yet he will try like hell to explicate it for you.
