Abstract
A lecture from Dr. Harry Brod, Professor of Philosophy and Humanities, University of Northern Iowa, on how Clark Kent and Superman embody the fantasy lives of their creators, two Jewish teenagers in Depression-era Cleveland. What themes of gendered power, powerlessness, and immigrant longings did these men write in their heroes?
