This work will explore how the creation of a fictional community can be understood as “imagining” one that does not exist, and is thus constituted as an “imagined” community. I will analyze how my sense of a Lithuanian identity has been shaped by memories of Lithuania's history and by the changing international political context, up to and after restitution of Lithuanian independence in 1990. Few years ago I was away from my native Lithuanian community for quite a long period of time, but did not find a new community to belong to, and remained to a large extent marked as a “stranger”, though I was in certain circumstances trying to represent and incorporate some collective Lithuanian features in my daily living. In my work I...

Crime comics is a genre of American comic books and format of crime fiction. The genre was originally popular in the 1940s and 1950s and is marked by a moralistic editorial tone and graphic depictions of violence and criminal activity. Crime comics began in 1942 with the publication of Crime Does Not Pay published by Lev Gleason Publications and edited by Charles Biro. As sales for superhero comic books declined in the years after World War II, other publishers began to emulate the popular format, content and subject matter of Crime Does Not Pay, leading to a deluge of crime-themed comics. Crime and horror comics, especially those published by EC Comics, came under official scrutiny in the late 1940s and early 1950s, leading to...

In whose fictional creation did Upton Sinclair seek inspiration for his masterpiece The Jungle? The following piece provides answers to this inquiry by tracing Emile Zola's presence in what may or may not be America's greatest proletarian novel, Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. Thus, a comparative study of The Jungle and Germinal becomes the lens through which the author endeavors to demonstrate that Sinclair modeled his masterpiece on Zola's novel. A close reading of these works unveils their overlapping in terms of characterization, theme and narrative. Following the introduction which presents the author's autobiographical commonalities, the first chapter investigates the works' character constructions. The second chapter is a discussion...

Cross culture in art in New Zealand: a visual exploration in stone carving. This project explores the visual motifs and subject matter from differing cultures within New Zealand, combined in a hybrid form that enables a personal commentary about aspects of cross culture.

As a practicing artist in stone in New Zealand, particularly one that carves a culturally charged material as pounamu (greenstone), there are many issues concerning the collection, ownership and carving of this stone. Cross-cultural issues are an integral part of life, not just a study for interest's sake. Stone is more than a solid...
