Bond on Page and Screen after Fleming
Ian Fleming died suddenly from a heart attack in 1964. By then attention had already switched from his James Bond novels to the films, of which the first full-length one, Dr No, appeared in 1962. The standard approach is to counterpoint the novels and films, asking how far the latter departed from the former, why, and what this can show us. Ranging from parlour game to serious study, this is a fascinating approach but it leaves out an important element of the Bond story, namely the novels published since Fleming wrote that have Bond as the protagonist.

Snow White Wars: Adapting Animation in Donald Barthelme's \Snow White\
Donald Barthelme's Snow White (1967)-an adaptation that presents \"a highly unusual case of a well-regarded novel arising from an animated film\"- engages in the fray (Slethaug 221). Since this case is so unusual, it warrants much closer consideration than discussions about Snow White have given it to date. [...]Deleuze and Guattari explain, \"[i]n a book, as in all things, there are... also lines of flight, movements of deterritorialization and destratification\" (A Thousand 3). Since \"a book itself is a little machine\" or \"an assemblage\" it has \"a side facing a body without organs\" that remains free to express its middling state (4).\\n The narrator instructs, \"[m]ove soldiers.

Canonicity and Normativity in Massive, Serialized, Collaborative Fiction
In this essay, Cook examines the practice of separating massive, serialized, collaborative fictions into canonical and noncanonical subtexts. This examination comes in three main parts. First, he briefly examines what is meant by \"massive serialized collaborative fiction\" (or MSCF) and highlight some relevant characteristics of MSCFs. Next, he provides an overview of a distinction often made within MSCFs--the canon versus noncanon divide. Finally, he determines whether there are good reasons for drawing canon versus noncanon distinctions within MSCFs. As we shall see, there are obvious practical and pragmatic reasons for drawing such distinctions, but what is more interesting is that there might be philosophically substantial reasons--that is, reasons relevant to our philosophical understanding of these works as fictions--underlying canonicity practices.

\Revenge upon a Dumb Brute\: Casting the Whale in Film Adaptations of Moby-Dick
Each one inevitably confronts the problem of imposing intentionality on the whale and succumbing to the overactive agency detection (which social scientists and psychologists confirm to be at the core of human responses to trauma), despite overwhelming evidence supplied by natural scientists and specialists in whale behavior confirming the sperm whale is docile by nature. Since the graphic arts animated motion picture will consist of no live shots, the production values promise to raise the stakes for the characterization of the whale and thus imbue the story with a richer explanation for Ahab's motivations, as well as his relation to the whale, than we have encountered in media versions of Moby-Dick thus far.
