Kingdom Hearts, Territoriality and Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper explores the relationship between companies Square-Enix and Disney as played out within the games of the Kingdom Hearts (キングダムハーツ) franchise. We contrast the relationship between these two transnational companies within the franchise's aesthetics and theoretical logics over the course of the various games. We are particularly interested in the games' own thematization and problematization of concepts of globalization, transnationalism and cultural flow. The games narratively and interactively foreground the collapse of membranes that separate worlds, producing legitimate and illegitimate modes of territoriality and intermixture.

Rapidly restoring blood flow in the epicardial coronary artery after an acute obstruction is critical for limiting myocardial tissue damage and salvaging the area at risk. Minimizing the acute injury to the myocardium after an ischemic event (ie, infarct size) has been strongly correlated with improved outcome. In fact, large myocardial infarctions (MIs) have been associated with pronounced adv...
