Excerpt: The idea for this issue of Transmotion came from the bottom of the sea. While watching the 2014 film Godzilla, I was struck by ways in which the famous lizard’s battle with a flying, radiation-eating monster resembled the dynamic relationship between the Anishinaabe creatures of Mishebeshu (water monster) and Animiki (thunder beings). I wrote up my thoughts then about those similarities in a blog posting titled “Godzilla is Red: An American Indian Reading of the King of Monsters”.
