As the abstract of the panel reminds: data visualization is a transversal discipline which harnesses the immense power of visual communication to explain, in an understandable manner, the relationships of meaning, causes and dependency found among great abstract masses of information generated by scientific and social processes.
The Submissive Wonder Woman
A live-action Wonder Woman film has been in the works since 2001, but is currently on hold until the Justice League film finishes production in 2009. Australian supermodel Megan Gale is rumored to be the babe behind the bullet-proof bustier in what seems destined to be an unavoidably terrible movie.
Before we go any further, if you think we’re going to pull a bunch of Wonder Woman panels out of context and mock her as some kind of bondage-loving super-lesbian …
… you’re wrong, because they’re not out of context. Wonder Woman was created in 1941 by psychologist Dr. William Marston, who believed that bondage had a leveling effect on gender relationships. We’re thinking his bedroom saw its share of Wonder Woman costumes over the years.
But still, that would hardly fit under the category of things we “won’t see,” because we’re actually guessing you will see at least one hot woman get tied up on screen, if not several. Hell, Catwoman has nothing going for her but fetishism, and the studios didn’t hesitate to write the check for that one.
What We Probably Won’t See:The film will likely not give us the early version of Wonder Woman, who was the kind of cringe-worthy, air-headed stereotype that was still acceptable in the ’40s.
In fact, when Wonder Woman first appeared as a member of The Justice Society in 1941, the group made her their secretary (we’re not kidding).
It was years before Wonder Woman got revamped as a badass feminist hero. So if they ever do a “back to its roots” reboot on this franchise, we’re guessing they won’t go all the way back.
Wonders indeed, Wonder Woman. Wonders indeed.
