Attack on Titan is an ongoing Japanese comic book series written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama, who, growing up in the countryside of Oita Prefecture, Japan,2 landed upon a simple but disturbing truth: Because all living organisms must feed on other living organisms to survive, the world is an inherently cruel place. Humans have, in science fiction, often been flipped by circumstance into serving as dinner for an alien species (even as we actually are for any number of terrestrial species, from bacteria to bears and lions, if we're unlucky). Theories range anywhere from the series' having spun a clever twist on the now-oversaturated but once feverishly popular dystopian fiction and zombie-apocalypse genres, to the artist's supposedly unique ability to capture \"the hopelessness felt by young people\" in modern society.6 But the most interesting-and sinister-of these hypotheses, and one that has only gained in prominence as Attack on Titan approaches its final episode (January 2022), can be traced back to the very moment of the manga's inception: the insidious notion that our world is, fundamentally, cruel. Discriminated against for their ability to turn into Titans-an ability that, Isayama tells us, is linked to their ancient and mythological bloodline, and proclaimed by state propaganda to originate from their ancestor's having once made a pact with the \"devil of all-earth\"-the Eldians are separated from ordinary Marlyan society through internment camps reminiscent of Jewish ghettos, and required by law to wear armbands denoting their race, which are similar in design to the Star of David.8 Of course, Isayama is far from the only artist to draw inspiration from Nazi Germany.

\"The world of The Ancient Magus' Bride is bigger than Elias and Chise, and many are the folk and spirits who cross their lives' path. Their tales are woven into a tapestry, words like silver yarn, twining together emotions and warmth. Held within these pages are new stories of Kore Yamazaki's fantastic Britain, penned by the author herself and a star-studded lineup of Japanese authors.

In this article I examine the potential of the Femorabilia Collection of Women's and Girls' Twentieth Century Periodicals for the study of girlhood in Britain and the Commonwealth of Nations and I explain why the collection was originally created and describe its current purpose and policy to promote future research. I consider the importance of material and reading cultures as well as approaches to understanding the content of these varied publications and discuss the difficulties of working with mass culture, ephemeral texts, and the problem of obtaining examples, and I consider the collection's particular focus on popular fiction. I consider the development of the collection, examples of methodology and practice, and its use in pedagogy, research, and public engagement.

During a blackout in a war-torn Angola, two teenagers explore their deepest emotions as they share personal stories and dreams in the intimacy of the darkness.

The groundbreaking 3-time Eisner Award-winning graphic novel, now available digitally for the first time! Join us as we explore this missing piece of Jim Henson's career in a celebration of his creative process, gorgeously brought to life by acclaimed illustrator Ramon K. Perez (Wolverine and the X-Men, Spider Man: Year One). Discovered in the Archives of The Jim Henson Company, Tale of Sand is an original graphic novel adaptation of an unproduced, feature-length screenplay written by Jim Henson and his frequent writing partner, Jerry Juhl.

Despite the popularity of self-published teen zines, few studies have been conducted of the adolescent girls who write and read them. Past research on teens' reading and writing shows that adolescents read and write along stereotypical or gendered lines. This study explores the out-of-school literacy practices of three adolescent girls who write and publish their own zine by writing against gender, race, and class stereotypes. The study identifies what motivates and enables these girls in writing differently on their own and describes how young women use and develop their literacy skills to enable them to form and express their identities. Methods of participant observation were used to address these questions. Findings have implications for student-centered instruction by identifying relevant ways to engage adolescents in literacy activity. /// [Spanish] A Pesar de la popularidad de las revistas publicadas por adolescentes, se han realizado pocos estudios sobre las muchachas adolescentes que escriben y la leen estas publicaciones. Las investigaciones previas sobre lectura y es- critura en adolescentes muestra que este grupo lee y escribe siguiendo tendencias estereotipicas en cuanto al tenia del género. Este estudio explora las prácticas de lectura y escritura fuera de la escuela que realizan tres muchachas adolescentes que escriben y publican su propia revista, en la que se manifiestan contra los estereotipos de género, raza y clase. El estudio identifica aquello que motiva y permite a estas jóvenes escribir en forma diferente y describe cómo jovenes mujeres usan y desarrollan habilidades lingüísticas para formar y expresar su identidad. Se usaron metodos de observatión participante para estudiar estas cuestiones. Los hallazgos tienen implicancias para la enseñanza cen-trada en los estudiantes al identificar formas relevantes de involucrar a los adolescentes en actividades de lectura y escritura. /// [German] Trotz Der Beliebtheit selbstveröffentlichter Teen-Zines wurden nur wenige Studien über jugendliche Mädchen, die sie schreiben und lesen, durchgefuhrt. Zurückliegende Forschungen über das Lesen und Schreiben von Teens zeigen, dass Heranwachsende durchweg in stereotypen oder geschlechterbedingten Zeilen schreiben und lesen. Diese Studie untersucht die Schreib- und Lesepraktiken aufterhalb der Schule von drei jugendlichen Madchen, die ihre eigenen Zines schreiben und veröffentlichen, durch ihr Schreiben gegen Geschlechter-, Rassen-und Klassenstereotypen. Die Studie identifiziert, was diese Madchen motiviert und befahigt aus eigenem Antrieb differenziert zu schreiben, und schildert wie junge Frauen ihre Schreib- und Lesekenntnisse anwenden und entwickeln, um selbst imstande zu sein, ihre Identitaten zu formen und auszudrucken. Methoden der Teilnehmerbeobachtung wurden genutzt, um diese Fragen zu adressieren. Die Erkenntnisse haben Auswirkungen auf schüler-konzentrierte Anweisungen durch das Identifizieren relevanter Möglichkeiten, um die Jugendlichen in der Schreib- und Leseaktivitat zu engagieren. /// [Japanese] 自己出版される1 0代の雑誌の人気にも関わらず、そうした雑誌を読み書 きする青年期の少女達 に関する研究はこれまでほとんどない。1 0代の読み書きに関する先行研究は、青年達が、型に はまりジェンダーの区別をされて、読み書きを行ってい ると示している。本研究は、ジェンダー や人種、階級の型に対抗して書くことで自分達の雑誌を 書き出版している青年期の少女3人の学 校外リテラシー実践を探求する。本研究は、自分達で異 なった執筆活動を行う上で、何が少女達 に動機と力を与えているのかをつきとめ、若い女性達が 、自分達のアイデンティティーの形成や 表現を可能にするリテラシー技術をどのように使用し発 達させてい<のかを描写する。こうした 問題に取り組むため、参与観察法が用いられた。結果は 、青年達をリテラシー活動に従事させる ための関連した方法を特定することで、学生中ムの指導 に関する示唆を持つ。 /// [French] En Dépit de la popularité des zines des moins de vingt ans (zines est une abréviation de fanzines), peu d'études ont été consacrées aux adolescentes qui les écrivent et qui les lisent. Les recherches effectuées sur la lecture et l'écri-ture des moins de vingt ans montrent que les adolescents lisent et ecrivent sur des questions qui concernent les stereotypes et le genre. Cette etude examine les pratiques de litteratie exterieures à l'école de trois adolescentes qui ecrivent et publient leur propre zine en ecrivant contre les stereotypes de genre, de race et de classe. L'etude identi-fie ce qui les motive et rend capable ces filles d'ecrire de leur propre chef et decrit comment de jeunes femmes utilisent et developpent leurs competences en litteratie pour former et exprimer leur identite.
