Korean Comics: A Society Through Small Frames
Exhibition review of "Korean Comics: A Society Through Small Frames," curated by the Korea Society at the San Francisco Public Library (March 13-June 13, 2010).
Narrative Theories
This document discusses several narrative theorists and their contributions to understanding narratives. Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian fairy tales and identified character types and their common roles/functions. Tzvetan Todorov proposed that most narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, and return to a new equilibrium. Roland Barthes identified five codes that help audiences make sense of narratives: action, enigma, symbolic, semic, and cultural. Levi Strauss examined how stories unconsciously reflect a culture's values and beliefs through binary oppositions. The document provides examples of each theorist's work to analyze narratives.
The Most Iconic Playboy Covers

Four Playboy Playmates that made history
The document discusses four pioneering Playboy Playmates from the 1950s and 1960s who helped shape the magazine:
- Bettie Page, the first bondage model, was Playmate in January 1955 and helped popularize fetish photography.
- Elizabeth Ann Roberts, just 16, was the first underage Playmate in January 1958, sparking legal issues.
- China Lee, in August 1964, was the first Asian American Playmate and had roles in films like What's Up Tiger Lily?.
- Jennifer Jackson broke barriers as the first African American Playmate in March 1965 and faced controversy for her selection.
The Most Controversial Magazine Covers
This document discusses many magazine covers that caused controversy due to their provocative or politically charged nature. Some of the covers mentioned include Janet Jackson on Rolling Stone, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Rolling Stone after the Boston bombings, Demi Moore posing nude and pregnant on Vanity Fair, and Time magazine asking "Is God Dead?" on their cover in 1966 which received significant backlash. The document also notes controversial covers featuring celebrities like Britney Spears, Kanye West, and Miley Cyrus among others.
Top Selling Audiobooks Queer
William Lee pursues hopeless desires from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene in Mexico City in the early 1950s. As Lee breaks down, the narrative emerges with Burroughs' trademark mix of self-lacerating humor and an ugly portrayal of Americans. Originally written in 1952 but not published until 1985, Queer is both an unflinching autobiographical portrait and a political novel that follows Lee's breakdown in a haunting tale of possession and exorcism.

The Male Gaze Theory
Laura Mulvey's 1975 essay "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" introduced the concept of the "male gaze" to describe how films typically adopt the perspective of the heterosexual male viewer. Mulvey argues that films are constructed based on patriarchal ideals that portray women as sexual objects to be looked at. Traditionally, films give men active roles that drive the narrative, while women play more passive roles as erotic objects that slow down the plot. The male gaze results in the objectification and stereotyping of women in cinema for the visual pleasure of male audiences.

Southern Gothic writers like William Faulkner, Truman Capote and Flannery O'Connor set dark and bizarre stories in rural American settings, drawing from Gothic fiction traditions but addressing the darkness within society. William Faulkner is particularly influential as he used the fictional Yoknapatawpha county in Mississippi as the setting for many of his stories featuring colorful and peculiar characters, often employing nonlinear flashbacks that blend past, present and future.

Hustler is best option after playboy
Hustler emerged as a replacement for Playboy magazine after Playboy stopped publishing regularly. While Playboy was initially very popular for its nude models and coverage of other topics, it began publishing less frequently. This created demand for another magazine offering erotic content. Hustler grew quickly after its founding, reaching a circulation of 3 million in the early 1980s, though it has since declined to 500,000. Revenue from Hustler magazine helped finance the owner's other adult entertainment businesses like strip clubs and stores.
Hugh Hefner's Impact on Sociey Through his Magazine Playboy
Hugh Hefner founded Playboy magazine in 1953 as an outlet for his own repression growing up and to represent the feelings of American youth amid social restrictions of the time. Playboy featured nude images that contradicted social norms but appealed to young readers seeking rebellion. The magazine became an icon of youth culture by addressing topics of sexuality still taboo in mainstream society at the time.
Playboy1950s
Playboy magazine was created in 1953 by Hugh Hefner to celebrate modern single masculinity. It became an overnight success, selling 70,000 copies of the first issue. Playboy featured articles on topics like sports and music alongside fiction stories and photos of nude women. While focused on sexuality, it also presented traditionally feminine activities like cooking as masculine pursuits. The magazine helped define its reader, the "Playboy," as urban, young, and a consumer of leisure and pleasure. For many readers, Playboy was simply entertaining despite promoting a lifestyle focused on sexuality and materialism that few could actually attain.
Hugh Hefner
Hugh Hefner was born in Chicago in 1926 to conservative Protestant parents. He attended public schools in Chicago and was an average student despite his high IQ. After serving in the army during World War II, he earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois. In 1951, he started working for Esquire magazine but left to start his own magazine, Playboy, which featured Marilyn Monroe on its first cover and grew rapidly. Hefner lived a lavish lifestyle depicted in Playboy and owned mansions in Los Angeles and Chicago where he hosted celebrities. He continued leading Playboy Enterprises until his death in 2017 at age 91.
