Welcome to Heroes in Popular Culture!
This is going to be a dynamic and interactive seminar in which we will explore the creation and the nature of heroes and superheroes:
- what they are
- who they are
- why we have them
- how they are created
- how they are treated in the media
- what they communicate to us about ourselves
- what they communicate to us about our relationship to the universe
Our class sessions will feature lively discussions of ideas, facts, and artifacts. This blog is an opportunity to continue our discussions beyond the confines of a classroom space.
So let's get started...!
In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer.

In my home the Chosen One is not a she, not even human. Rather, my 8yr old sons beloved, faithful bear, who also stands against all evil demons and forces of darkness.
Buffy *awwww memories* I thought that was such a cool show in Highschool...there is actually a new vampire show out right now
Does anybody read comic books? If so what have you read?
I really like Comics written by Frank Miller. Like The Dark Knight Returns, Batman Year One, and The Dark Knight strikes again. Some of my favorite superheroes are, Batman(Bruce Wayne), Robin (Tim Drake & Dick Grayson), daredevil (Matt Murdock), And cat girl (Carrie Kelley).
ah Buffy, I personally preferred the film .
