Lecture: A Study in Patch

Hope you have all your memories Students! Your professors are BACK and this time they're talking about one of the great loves of their lives: Logan Wolverine and his time as the elusive Patch! Highlights of this lecture include: Examining the issues of Orientalism surrounding Wolverine, how he fits into archetypal pop culture roles in the 20th century, exploring what it means to have a Japanese writer take these Orientalist elements, and running off into the woods! Content warning: some of the discussions in this episode briefly mention topics of domestic abuse, the brutal killings of women, and a tangent about the Canadian government's treatment of First Nations people. Additionally, as stated in the episode, Orientalism is a complicated topic with no clear answers on how to handle it but often leads to the exploitation of the cultures and people it is discussing.
