Who is the Black Panther? Syllabus

by Unknown's avatar

A few semesters back, I did a literature and composition course entitled “Who Watches Superheroes?” That course went really well, with students actively engaged in the texts and conversations surrounding them. This semester, I’m changing that course up a little, focusing specifically on Black Panther. This is something I have wanted to do for a while, but I have just never done it because … Read More Who is the Black Panther? Syllabus

If you enjoy what you read here at Interminable Rambling, think about making a contribution on our Patreon page.  Last post, I started talking about the relationship between Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) and the Vision as a metaphor for interracial intimacy during the early 1970s, only five years removed from the Supreme Court decision in Loving v.

Reader Responses to Black Panther’s Debut

by Unknown's avatar

Last post, I wrote about how Stan Lee and Jack Kirby position the audience in Fantastic Four #52-#53. Today, I want to expand upon that discussion some and examine the ways that readers responded to T’Challa’s debut in the letters section a few issues later. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Henry B. Clay III’s praise of Black Panther’s debut; however, not … Read More Reader Responses to Black Panther’s Debut

Representation and Monica Lynne’s Social Activism

by Unknown's avatar

Last post, I wrote about T’Challa’s role as a teacher within the community, and today I want to briefly look at Monica Lynne’s movement from an entertainer to to social activist as she begins to work as a social worker. In Avengers #73, Monica’s actions lead T’Challa to take a more active role in fighting everyday segregation and injustice within the community instead of … Read More Representation and Monica Lynne’s Social Activism
