    Punk Rock and Literature

    I am very interested in writing about how punk rock and literature intersect. I feel like both are mediums where its artists continually question the answer. I think about literary characters that are punk rock. For me the brooding indignation of Byron’s manfred is very punk rock because he tries to forge his own path despite the offered help of others. Expatriates like Hemingway’s Fredric Henry don’t just blindly follow orders or fight for the sake of fighting, but question why there is fighting to begin with.

    • Don't forget to either consider this through the lens of an applied reading, ie. applying the emerged concepts of 'punk rock' to previous literature; or perhaps more interestingly look at where 'punk rock' has drawn its themes and characteristics from previous authors/artists that challenged social norms. But yes I agree this could be a lot of fun. – SaraiMW 5 years ago

    • You definitely need a definition of "punk rock" here to frame your discussion: are you discussing music? Punk style? Punk ideology (how would you delineate this?)? Maybe bleed into cyberpunk? Either way, fun stuff! – Heather Lambert 5 years ago

    Kratos vs Luke Skywalker: How to Innovate a Protagonist

    It’s difficult. I know The Warcraft movie suffered from trying to balance between making it marketable to everyone without alienating diehards. The average popcorn movie viewer just wants action and doesn’t care about lore. The average WoW player is dedicated and want a level of fan service that if executed would most likely close the movie off to others, and be universally unsuccessful. Hard line to walk.
