Book Description
Le Pastiche Tintin 2, a second flick through Tintin pastiches and parodies and the world of Hergé. New Zealand art historian John Stringer gathers another 222 tributes to this global comic phenomenon (333 in vol.s 1-2). Parodies, tributes and lampoons have mushroomed like Shooting Star fungi since 1983 when Hergé died and the adventures ceased. Stringer draws again on hundreds of independent works to revisit the enduring pastiche pathology of Europe's greatest comic (200 million copies in 70 languages). From Star Wars to Fukushima, spellbound with Harry Potter, in Syria, El Salvador, on Pluto or at a zoo, spaced out on Mars, Tintin is still Breaking Free so the adventures and mystery might continue -Billions of Bilious Blue Blistering Barnacles!

The Parody Exception in Copyright Law
Author: Sabine Jacques
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192529986
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Parodies have been created throughout times and cultures. A glimpse at the general judicial latitude generally afforded to parodies, satires, caricatures, and pastiches demonstrates the social and cultural value of this particular form of artistic expression. With the advent of technologies and the evolution of copyright legislation, creative endeavours in the form of parody gathered a new youth but became unlawful. While copyright law grants exclusive rights to right-holders, this right is not absolute. Legislation includes specific exceptions, which preclude right-holders from exercising their prerogatives in particular cases which foster creativity and cultural diversity within that society. The parody exception pertains to this ultimate objective by permitting users to reproduce copyright-protected materials for the purpose of parody. To understand the meaning and scope of the parody exception, this book examines and compares five jurisdictions which differ in their protection of parodies: France, Australia, Canada, the US and the United Kingdom. This book is concerned with finding an appropriate balance between the protection awarded to right-holders and the public interest. This is achieved by analysing the parody exception to the economic rights of right-holders, the preservation of moral rights and the interaction of the parody exception with contract law. As parodies constitute an artistic expression protected under the right to freedom of expression, this book also considers the influence of freedom of expression on the interpretation of this specific copyright exception. Furthermore, this book aims at providing guidance on how to resolve conflicts where fundamental rights are in conflict. This is the first book in English to offer an in-depth investigation into the parody exception in copyright law, and comments on industry practices linked to this form of creative endeavours.

The Character of Rain
Author: Amelie Nothomb
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1429978961
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
The Japanese believe that until the age of three, children, whether Japanese or not, are gods, each one an okosama, or "lord child." On their third birthday they fall from grace and join the rest of the human race. In Amelie Nothomb's new novel, The Character of Rain, we learn that divinity is a difficult thing from which to recover, particularly if, like the child in this story, you have spent the first tow and a half years of life in a nearly vegetative state. "I remember everything that happened to me after the age of two and one-half," the narrator tells us. She means this literally. Once jolted out of her plant-like , tube-like trance (to the ecstatic relief of her concerned parents), the child bursts into existence, absorbing everything that Japan, where her father works as a diplomat, has to offer. Life is an unfolding pageant of delight and danger, a ceaseless exploration of pleasure and the limits of power. Most wondrous of all is the discovery of water: oceans, seas, pools, puddles, streams, ponds, and, perhaps most of all, rain-one meaning of the Japanese character for her name. Hers is an amphibious life. The Character of Rain evokes the hilarity, terror, and sanctity of childhood. As she did in the award-winning, international bestesller Fear and Trembling, Nothomb grounds the novel in the outlines of her experiences in Japan, but the self-portrait that emerges from these pages is hauntingly universal. Amelie Nothomb's novels are unforgettable immersion experiences, leaving you both holding your breath with admiration, your lungs aching, and longing for more.

Little Ego
Author: Vittorio Giardino
Publisher: Heavy Metal Magazine
ISBN: 9781932413625
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
Not quite pastiche, certainly not parody, LITTLE EGO appropriates the look and feel of Winsor McCay’s transcendent masterpiece, LITTLE NEMO IN SLUMBERLAND. Like McCay, Giardino uses the dream formula to free the narrative from the logi- cal strictures a cruelly earth bound reader might seek to impose. But that’s not all; in a single, deft stroke, Giardino also shakes off any moral stric- tures as well. Who could object to Ego’s erotic frolics- with men, women, the occasional reptile or household implement, or whatever is handiest – when it’s all just a dream?
