In 2020, the University of Toronto Mississauga campus library acquired the largest collection of video games in Canada from prolific collector Syd Bolton, whose vision was for it to not only be preserved but also playable and publicly accessible.

Wait For Me: Finding Eurydice’S Voice In Hadestown And Portrait Of A Lady On Fire, 2024 Georgia College
Wait For Me: Finding Eurydice’S Voice In Hadestown And Portrait Of A Lady On Fire, Thomas Creekmore
Women's and Gender Studies Symposium
The traditional story of Orpheus and Eurydice, as featured in Ovid’s epic poem Metamorphoses, never allows the reader to understand Eurydice’s perspective, allowing her no agency as a character and not allowing her to be anything but an object of Orpheus’s desire. Anaïs Mitchell’s Broadway musical, Hadestown, and Céline Sciamma’s film, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, are two modern interpretations of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth that rework the story in ways that allow Eurydice to achieve more agency as a character. Unlike Ovid’s version of Eurydice, Hadestown’s Eurydice and Portrait of a Lady on Fire’s …

Deepfake It Til You Make It: How To Make A Short Film, Adam G. Lee
ELAIA
A recent development in the realm of computer technology is the deepfake. Deepfakes, which train a computer model to digitally superimpose one person’s face onto another body in a separate video, has its uses for good and for ill, with the unfortunate tendency to the latter. The vast majority of deepfakes are used for pornography, most commonly depicting female celebrities as the subjects. At the less notable level, it is also often used for revenge pornography. These aspects of deepfake technology are rarely discussed in mainstream media, which tends to focus on the less harmful uses, such as those for …
Sauron: Weirdly Sexy, 2024 Texas State University
Sauron: Weirdly Sexy, Robert T. Tally Jr.
Journal of Tolkien Research
A popular meme depict Galadriel and Frodo admitting that Sauron is "weirdly sexy," a humorous allusion to The Rings of Power’s Halbrand. The show's controversial revelation of Halbrand as Sauron highlights the differences between Tolkien’s construction of Second and Third Age Sauron as an attractive or admirable leader compared to Peter Jackson’s portrayal of him as a monster or disembodied fiery eyeball. This, in turn, has implications for the geopolitical order of Middle-earth in which many people legitimately might wish to be on Sauron’s side. Acknowledging Sauron's "sexiness" may allow us to see Tolkien's world system in a new …
Producing Digital Reflections Of Reality Through Intercultural Filmmaking And Multisensory Engagement, 2024 Louisiana State University
Producing Digital Reflections Of Reality Through Intercultural Filmmaking And Multisensory Engagement, Trai Thomas
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
This thesis analyzes the author’s production of three intercultural, multisensory films situated in New Orleans, encompassing elements both narrative and documentary genres. Intercultural cinema exists in a setting where people of different cultural backgrounds live together in power-inflicted spaces of diaspora, colonialism, and cultural apartheid and the development of the story is centered around exoticism, fetishization, and fascination with the other (Marks 2007, 1). Multisensory media primarily engages through visual perception and auditory input, which create cultural knowledge stored as long-term memory files in the brain (Marks 2007).

Real #Hotgirl Sh*T: Practical Application Of Intersectional Re-Presentation Instruction, Jessica F. Love
Feminist Pedagogy
This critical commentary outlines how the Real #HotGirl Sh*T: Megan Thee Stallion & Mediated Hip Hop, Black Feminist and Communication Pedagogy promotes active learning via popular culture and digital media, and it provides a practical model for employing intersectionality in classroom settings. Previous critical media pedagogy exploring minority media re-presentation primarily focused on the effects of master narratives produced by traditional media. This syllabus's incorporation of social and digital media helps students understand how collective minority groups use and interact with media as a political tool to challenge re-presentational regimes. More importantly, this syllabus employs real-world examples of popular culture …
