A plea:
Right, flist, I need your help. Especially the comicbook-geeky ones.
The essay I am now working on has to be in before 1pm on Monday, and I cannot all-nighter it as I also have an exam at 1pm on Monday. This is the essay question:
In his history of images, John Berger (1977) famously claimed that “men act, women appear”. Using 3-5 examples from any visual or multimodal genre, discuss whether this is (still) an accurate description of the different spectator roles of men and women.
Please could anyone provide me with some (Western) comic covers and any other recent images that either support or contradict the idea of women as passive/men as active? My own comic collection is rather limited, mostly to Marvel (X-Men and Runaways), so anything not from these would be fantastic. I need the year, artist, publisher and title.
And any other images not from comics would also be fantastic, please. Although I intend to support the idea that Berger's statement still holds true, I need some contradictory images as well.
Please manylots. <333
Am off down the Bay to do more French work, now. Whee.
