2017 EISNER AWARD NOMINEE for Best Academic/Scholarly Work In the late 1970s and early 1980s, writer-artist Frank Miller turned Daredevil from a tepid-selling comic into an industry-wide success story, doubling its sales within three years. Lawyer by day and costumed vigilante by night, the character of Daredevil was the perfect vehicle for the explorations of heroic ideals and violence that would come to define Miller's work. Frank Miller's Daredevil and the Ends of Heroism is both a rigorous study of Miller's artistic influences and innovations and a reflection on how his visionary work on Daredevil impacted generations of comics publishers, creators, and fans. Paul Young explores the accomplishments of Miller the writer, who fused hardboiled crime stories with superhero comics, while reimagining Kingpin (a classic Spider-Man nemesis), recuperating the half-baked villain Bullseye, and inventing a completely new kind of Daredevil villain in Elektra. Yet, he also offers a vivid appreciation of the indelible panels drawn by Miller the artist, taking a fresh look at his distinctive page layouts and lines. A childhood fan of Miller's Daredevil, Young takes readers on a personal journey as he seeks to reconcile his love for the comic with his distaste for the fascistic overtones of Miller's controversial later work. What he finds will resonate not only with Daredevil fans, but with anyone who has contemplated what it means to be a hero in a heartless world. Other titles in the Comics Culture series include Twelve-Cent Archie, Wonder Woman: Bondage and Feminism in the Marston/Peter Comics, 1941-1948, and Considering Watchmen: Poetics, Property, Politics.

As he demonstrates that narratives of seduction as a master plot for French literature in the eighteenth century, Paul Young argues that the prevalence of this trope was a reaction to a dominant cultural discourse that coded the novel and the new practice of solitary reading as dangerous, seductive practices. Situating his study in the context of paintings, educational manuals, sermons, and criticism that caution against the act of reading, Young considers both canonical and lesser-known works by authors that include Rousseau, Sade, Bastide, Laclos, Crebillon fils, and the writers of two widely read libertine novels. How these authors responded to a cultural climate that viewed literature, and especially the novel, as seductive, sheds light on the perils and pleasures of authorship, the ways in which texts interact with the larger cultural discourse, and what eighteenth-century texts tell us about the dangers of reading or writing. Ultimately, Young argues, the seduction not in the text, but by the text raises questions about the nature of pleasure in eighteenth-century French literature and culture.

Le cinéma est-il crédible en tant que forme d’art? Le débat est aussi ancien que le cinéma lui-même. Il a donné lieu à d’innombrables théories abordant la question sous un angle formel, psychologique, idéologique, social ou auteuriste. Quoi qu’il en soit, de nombreux artistes ont employé ce support pour entreprendre des expérimentations esthétiques généralement associées à l’art moderne et contemporain. Pour étudier ces oeuvres, cet ouvrage les regroupe en une dizaine de sous-genres tels que l’abstraction, le collage, le found footage, le postsurréalisme, le structuralisme, le tableau, la parodie et le cinéma élargi. Illustrée par plus de 300 films, cette histoire du cinéma expérimental évoque aussi bien des grands maîtres tels que Hans Richter, Man Ray et Stan Brakhage que des artistes contemporains comme Stan Douglas, Pipilotti Rist et Doug Aitken, des auteurs de légende tels que David Lynch, Jean-Luc Godard et Luis Buñuel que des stars underground comme Kenneth Anger, Matthew Barney, Bruce Conner, Michael Snow, Owen Land et Paul McCarthy.
