NEUES VON PANDORA: Mit seinem Film Avatar – Aufbruch nach Pandora verschob Filmemacher James Cameron die technologischen Möglichkeiten des modernen Blockbuster-Kinos sowie die visuelle Erwartungshaltung des Publikums. Ganz nebenbei schuf Cameron, der auch ewige Film-Highlights wie Terminator, Aliens – Die Rückkehr oder Titanic realisiert hat, einen der größten Kassenknüller aller Zeiten. Dass es filmische Fortsetzungen zu Avatar geben würde, stand von Anfang an fest. Allerdings dauerte es länger als geplant, den spektakulären Science-Fiction-Streifen in seinem Ursprungsmedium fortzuführen. Ende 2022 sollte es endlich so weit sein, kam Avatar: Der Weg des Wassers in die Kinos. Rund zehn Jahre nach Release des Mega-Films erschien unterdessen bereits der erste offizielle Comic zu Avatar und bescherte Fans eine frische Perspektive auf die Ereignisse der ursprünglichen Geschichte, mit der für das Franchise 2009 alles begonnen hat. Im vorliegenden Comic-Band, der im Original noch vor Avatar: Der Weg des Wassers entstanden und erschienen ist, findet sich nun sogar die erste Fortsetzung der Story. Die setzt, wie wir wissen, im 22. Jahrhundert ein, in dem die Menschen den Weltraum erobert haben – und ausbeuten. Doch als die ebenso militärisch wie industriell anmutende Firma Resources Development Administration (RDA) einen Mond mit Namen Pandora auf die übliche Weise schröpfte und dabei zerstörte, kam es zum Krieg mit den Na''vi – den blauen und humanoiden, extrem naturverbundenen Bewohnern Pandoras. Der gelähmte Soldat Jake Sully nahm auf Pandora den Platz seines verstorbenen Bruders im Avatar-Programm ein und wurde in dessen künstlich erschaffenen Na''vi-Körper versetzt. Es dauerte nicht lange, bis Jake sich in Neytiri verliebte, Tochter des Häuptlings vom Omatikaya-Stamm, und fortan zwischen allen Fronten stand. Jake trat trotz Skepsis und Feindseligkeit der Na''vi für deren Belange ein, erlangte unter ihnen den Ehrentitel Toruk Makto und bewies sich im Zweikampf mit Neytiris Bruder Tsu''tey unter dem mächtigen Baum der Seelen. Letztlich konnte Pandora vor den gierigen, skrupellosen Menschen gerettet werden – und Jake wurde endgültig und unwiderruflich ein "echter" Na''vi. Aber von einem Happy End sind er und Pandora weit entfernt, wie dieses Comic-Sequel zu Avatar – Aufbruch nach Pandora zeigt ...

A knees-up at a country fair, a pair of dancing ogres, children round a maypole, ballroom champions, decadent masquerade, and celebrations at Piccadilly Circus on VE day all feature in this enchanting survey of dance illustration through the centuries. What do these vibrant, often elegant and sometimes irreverent images reveal to us about the history of social dancing and changing attitudes towards the dance floor?In his richly illustrated book, Jeremy Barlow surveys over 600 years of imagery, drawing out major themes in the representation of dance. He shows how over the centuries, artists and illustrators have represented dance in a stylized and often humorous manner, with curved, flowing lines for the gracious dancer and angular postures for the uncouth, rustic, or exhibitionistic performer. He also reveals how artists have responded in imaginative ways to the challenge of how to convey a sense of the dancer''s movement through a frozen moment in print, and what techniques illustrators have used to demonstrate specific poses and steps, from the galliard, mazurka, and minuet to the waltz, tango, and cha cha cha. Finally he examines the age-old tension between decorum and licence on the dance floor and how this changed with the advent of jive and the untutored vitality of rock''n'' roll. The book draws on a wide range of materials in the Bodleian Library, including fourteenth-century manuscripts, satirical prints, dance cards, and invitations to balls. Each image is carefully analysed for what it can reveal to us about behavioural codes and satirical intent, providing an unusual insight into the social history and imagery of dance.
