Queer Eye For The Hero Guy: Exploring Dick Grayson’S Sexuality, Thea Cheuk
Auctus: The Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Scholarship
The DC Comics character of Dick Grayson (Robin and later Nightwing) has been subtextally coded queer since his first appearance over seventy-five years ago, unintentionally creating an ambiguous sexuality up to today. The initial backlash against reading Robin as queer occurred in the ‘50s, but attempts to assert his heterosexuality have had mixed success, leading to contemporary comics writers acknowledging this established – though officially unstated – queerness by pushing how far they can suggest him to be LGBTQ+. This historical foundation establishes the precedent of queer coding Dick Grayson, and provides context when analyzing the subtext of him as …
Legends Of The Fabricated Wild: An Experimental Representation Of Natural Landscapes Through The Utilization Of Analog Film Techniques, 2019 University of Central Florida
Legends Of The Fabricated Wild: An Experimental Representation Of Natural Landscapes Through The Utilization Of Analog Film Techniques, Nicholas Twardus
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Legends of the Fabricated Wild is a feature-length body of work of landscape films. Voice-Destroy, Self-Portrait: Impermanence and the titular Legends of the Fabricated Wild are the experimental films that comprise my body of work. Keep your Distance, a single-channel installation, is a supplemental piece. Legends of the Fabricated Wild frames the complex interaction between a filmmaker and the collective unconsciousness of the natural environment, a theory outlined by Carl Jung, considering the implications and discoveries along the way. Subtle movement and precise compositions provide a transcendental perspective on the natural Florida landscape. Images of landscapes devoid of human figures …

(And I Can't Stress This Enough) In My Mouth: Extradiegetic Affect As Material, 2019 Virginia Commonwealth University
(And I Can't Stress This Enough) In My Mouth: Extradiegetic Affect As Material, C. Klockner
Theses and Dissertations
(and i can’t stress this enough) in my mouth: Extradiegetic Affect as Material is a non-linear exploration into the structures of feeling that exist in relation to cinema in its role as a technology for generating subjectivity. In the development of this research, a proposal of cinema’s likeness to the ecological circulation of microplastics is drawn in order to illustrate cinema’s materiality and nearly invisible ubiquity. The notion of extradiegetic affect is outlined as a post-cinematic condition in which lived experience becomes secondary to cinematic representation and which, simultaneously, becomes directly shaped by engaging with these representations.

Medice, Cura Te Ipsum (Physician, Heal Thyself): A Documentary Film Exploring How The Passions Of Medical Students Will Make Them Better And Healthier Physicians, 2019 Thomas Jefferson University
Medice, Cura Te Ipsum (Physician, Heal Thyself): A Documentary Film Exploring How The Passions Of Medical Students Will Make Them Better And Healthier Physicians, Ryan Emhoff
Phase 1
It is a well documented, yet largely ignored fact that physicians, residents and medical students are experiencing a pandemic of depression, burnout, dissatisfaction, and suicide. The principal cause may be the institution of medicine, which is slow to change, abusive, and dismissive of these complaints. While interventions are necessary at all levels of training, medical students may be the most in need as their mental health is the poorest of these groups.
Emotion-focused coping activities focus on alleviating stress. The humanities can function as emotion-focused coping activities, and exposure to them in medical education has been correlated with higher empathy …
The Female Nature: Representations Of Motherhood And Nature In Dystopian Films, 2019 University of Texas at El Paso
The Female Nature: Representations Of Motherhood And Nature In Dystopian Films, Veronica Andrea Martinez
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
This study will explore female representation and conceptualization of nature in dystopian narratives by examining dystopian films. The study is guided by film theory and ecofeminism to investigate themes of domination of both nature and women. The main goal is to examine the structure, themes, dialogue, and visuals in the films to explore the underlying essence of dystopian narratives and examine roles of reproduction and motherhood of female characters. The study contributes to previous studies on female and nature representation in media.

Dándoles Más De Lo Que Pidieron: La Justicia Epistemológica En El Abrazo De La Serpiente De Ciro Guerra, 2019 Cleveland State University
Dándoles Más De Lo Que Pidieron: La Justicia Epistemológica En El Abrazo De La Serpiente De Ciro Guerra, Ryan Bradley Pinchot
ETD Archive
Tras la nominación de El abrazo de la serpiente de Ciro Guerra a mejor película extranjera en los premios Óscar en 2016, muchos críticos periodistas colombianos celebraron el filme, a menudo enfatizando el cuidado con el que el director retrató a los pueblos indígenas de la Amazonía. Es cierto que la obra plasma un diálogo muchas veces didáctico entre personajes arquetípicos—dos científicos de Occidente y un chamán indígena—y que Guerra retrata en la diégesis, así como provoca en el público, un evento políticamente productivo, lo que el estudioso Boaventura de Sousa Santos denomina una “ruptura epistémica”. Por otro lado, el …
The Bullet In The Brick: The Materiality Of Conflict In Museum Objects, 2019 Technological University Dublin
The Bullet In The Brick: The Materiality Of Conflict In Museum Objects, Siobhan Doyle
Articles
Tangible traces of conflict in visual artefacts can take viewers uncomfortably close to the realities of war—violence, destruction and fatalities. This article questions the evidential force of objects associated with conflict and their eventual display in exhibitions. Through a study of the display of a brick in which is embedded a bullet that is said to have passed through the body of Francis Sheehy Skeffington when he was executed by firing squad during the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916, this article explores the historical configuration of the brick and analyses its public display in the National Museum of Ireland …
