First We Take Manhattan: Introducing Marvel Roundtable Part 2

Erica Stein
In this roundtable redirect, Erica Stein questions what it means for Marvel to image its authenticity in and through New York City. She asks us to consider how Marvel's dispersed and globalized industrial spatiality complicates and interacts with its proclivity for filming (and filming in) New York.
no. 1, Roundtables, vol. 2January 17, 2017<January 17, 2017

Marvel, the Urban, and Authenticity: An Introduction

Erica Stein
Since the release of its earliest comics, Marvel Inc. has foregrounded its use of real urban settings to differentiate itself from competitors and market its products in terms of authenticity. This Roundtable explores some of the strategies and consequences of this connection.

Threading the Labyrinth: Small-Gauge Approaches to the Urban

Erica Stein
All our contributors have conceptualized small-gauge scholarship and practice as a challenge to the contemporary scholarly apparatus and as an extension of the self. Or, more accurately, as a challenge to the norms of the academy because it is an extension of the self.
