Abstract:
The world about us has changed and is continually changing at an everaccellerating
[sic] pace. So have we. With the increase in media
coverage and information technology, we see more of the world,
comprehend its working a little more clearly, and as a result our
perception of ourselves and the society surrounding us has been
modified. Consequently, we begin to make demands upon the art and
culture that is meant to reflect the constantly shifting landscape we find
ourselves in. We demand new themes, new insights, new dramatic
situations. We demand new heroes (Alan Moore, 'An Introduction' to
Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns).
