Popular Culture Review 30.1
media like cinema and television programs have preserved the charm of those celebrities , other heroic female characters have faded from the public consciousness with time .
Marcus Axelsson ’ s “ War , Patriotism , and Nationality in the Norwegian and Swedish Translations of Cherry Ames ” takes a look at the representation of the once quite popular protagonist in different cultural contexts : sometimes she is intrinsically tied to a patriotic war movement in her military nursing career , whereas in other translations her character is the primary emphasis . ( The last few years should have taught us how important character is in our heroes .)
Brian Mosich ’ s article is perhaps one of our most pragmatic . Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race , color , or national origin , but what happens when those in positions of power find ways to work around it that seem to be completely legal at first glance ? Can justice be maintained in such an atmosphere ? Speaking of crime , Daryl Malarry Davidson takes a look at crime and sexuality between 1951 and 1984 . The topic might be serious , but it is often those things which draw us in most strongly .
While our waking world might seem increasingly nightmarish , the surreal fantasies of the past are as relevant as ever . Daniel Ferreras Savoye examines one of the most haunting short stories of all time in Guy de Maupassant ’ s once famous and now perhaps neglected “ Le Horla ,” which he calls “ Dracula ’ s older French cousin .” Whether it is the Horla or not , something invisible is certainly watching us even now .
Tammy Wahpeconiah explores the human need for another invisible presence in conceptions of God in “’ The Wrong Side of Heaven , the Righteous side of Hell ’: Religion , Faith and Belief in Ted Chiang ’ s Story of Your Life and Others .”
