    Like a Record: The Muse and Mimesis of The Forensic Records Society
    (Routledge, 2024) Jason Mark Ward; Ward, Jason Mark
    What is the correct way to appreciate art and specifically the art of the pop song? This is the question at the heart of Magnus Mills’s 2017 novella The Forensic Records Society which reads like an absurd comic parable of how men (specifically) repeatedly fail to appreciate art and reduce even the most inoffensive acts of creativity to dysfunctional bureaucracies. This paper briefly discusses how the book tackles aesthetics community gender and commodity fetishism and outlines its uncanny parallels with Adorno’s Sociology of Music (1976). Most significantly the argument put forward here is that this deceptively brief and simple novella is truly an artfully-constructed postmodern performative text–a work of histiographic metafiction which manipulates time evades period setting and questions historical certainty, a concrete-poetry inspired novella that deploys mimetic cover art musical allusions numerology nominal characterization melodic repetition and affirmative character arcs to replicate and pay homage to the subject of the book–the iconic 7-inch three-minute pop single. The conclusion asserts that The Forensic Records Society is an intermedial text that ironically benefits from the perpetual online distractions of the internet and pop music thus providing a novel 21st century reading experience. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

    Master Thesis
    The Fetishistic Spectacle of Violence in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen: A Comparative Study of Alan Moore’s Graphic Novel and Its Film Adaptation
    (2025) Adalı, İbrahim Eren; Ward, Jason Mark
    Alan Moore ve Dave Gibbons'ın Watchmen ([1986] 2014) adlı eseri son derece popüler bir çizgi roman olup, ataerkil ve kapitalist sisteme yönelik benzersiz ve yapıbozumcu yaklaşımıyla eleştirmenlerden büyük takdir kazanmıştır. Yönetmen Zack Snyder 2009 yılında çizgi romanı beyaz perdeye uyarlamıştır. Fakat yönetmenin orijinal esere sadık kalma konusunda titiz çabasına rağmen, eleştirmenler uyarlamayı, kaynak materyalin devrimci vizyonunu aktarmakta başarısız olduğu gerekçesiyle sert bir şekilde eleştirmiştir. Filmde kaynak materyalin özünü boğan bariz problemlerden biri, şiddet ve işkencenin fetişleştirilmesidir. Uyarlama şiddet yanlısı yasa dışı kanun infazcılarını baskın bakış olarak ele alırken, kurbanlarının parçalanmış bedenlerini izleyici tarafından tüketilebilecek bir imge olarak sunar. Bu tezin amacı, uyarlamada yer alan erotik şiddet ve vahşet gösterisisin, kaynak materyalin ilerici, yıkıcı ve yapıbozumcu politikalarını nasıl sekteye uğrattığını incelemektir. Çalışmada, Laura Mulvey'in 'Görsel Haz ve Anlatı Sineması' (1975) adlı eserinde ortaya koyduğu erkek bakışı kuramından yaralanarak fetişistik gösteri ile baskın fallosentrik değerler arasındaki önemli kesişimi araştırıyorum. Ayrıca, filmin fetişistik görsel dilinin Amerikan siyasetindeki şiddet ve güç söylemiyle nasıl kesiştiğini aydınlatmak için gerçek dünyadan örnekler de vermekteyim.
