Donald Duck Goest To War: Involvement Of The U.S. And International Film During World War Ii, 2018 Parkland College
Donald Duck Goest To War: Involvement Of The U.S. And International Film During World War Ii, Katherine Wennerdahl
A with Honors Projects
Films hold the capability to shape perspectives and beliefs, spread new ideas, and express suppressed feelings in the hardest of times. Between the year 1939 to 1945, the second World War took the lives of over 50 million people and left homes in ruin. During this time, artists all over the world continued to practice their art forms, many refusing to ignore the atrocities that were occurring. In particular, film makers across the world took the power of the camera and mass media to make statements that have been engraved in filmstrips and history. This paper will identify a handful …

Stranger Danger: The Inversion Of Suburban Stranger-Danger Symbolism In Stranger Things, 2018 Bridgewater State University
Stranger Danger: The Inversion Of Suburban Stranger-Danger Symbolism In Stranger Things, Gregory Shea
The Graduate Review
A dramatic shift took place in the suburban conception of children in America during the early 1980s. The high-profile abductions and murders of a small number of children led to a profound shift in suburban thinking about child safety. Suburban parents embarked on a wild search for methods of safeguarding their children against the largely symbolic threats of stranger danger, but, in the end, many of the reactions to stranger danger only served to disempower children in the suburbs. In this paper, I contend that Matt and Ross Duffer’s Stranger Things enters into a symbolic discourse with the stranger danger …
Manipulations Of Stereotypes And Horror Clichés To Criticize Post-Racial White Liberalism In Jordan Peele’S Get Out , 2018 Bridgewater State University
Manipulations Of Stereotypes And Horror Clichés To Criticize Post-Racial White Liberalism In Jordan Peele’S Get Out , Jillian Boger
The Graduate Review
In Jordan Peele’s 2017 horror movie Get Out, Peele makes both white liberalism and the horror genre targets of satire. The subversion of traditional horror clichés and tropes such as Carol Clover’s Final Girl and body stealing/identity theft allows Peele to parody the genre as well as reorient audiences against stereotypes of blackness. In order to discuss the subversion of expectations, it is important to first identify moments of codeswitching. Another point of importance is noticing how Chris Washington’s role as Get Out’s Final Girl challenges stereotypical representations of black masculinity in other media. Additionally, to discuss automatic revulsion towards …

Media Censures: The Hutchins Commission On The Press, The New York Intellectuals On Mass Culture, 2018 University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Media Censures: The Hutchins Commission On The Press, The New York Intellectuals On Mass Culture, Stephen Bates
Hank Greenspun School of Journalism and Media Studies Faculty Publications
Around the middle of the 20th century, two groups of American intellectuals turned their attention to the mass media. The scholars on the Commission on Freedom of the Press, chaired by University of Chicago president Robert Maynard Hutchins, assessed the American news media. Dwight Macdonald and his fellow New York intellectuals assessed the American entertainment media and other forms of mass culture. On the whole, both groups were appalled. Hutchins et al. and Macdonald et al. inhabited different worlds—the intellectual establishment and the intellectual antiestablishment—yet the two groups developed parallel critiques. Comparing them reveals important aspects of the role of …

Documentary Study Guides
The Garifuna and Carib communities of St Vincent in the Caribbean collaborated with the documentary filmmaker Andrea E. Leland to produce Yurumein – Homeland: The Caribs of St Vincent, an exploration of the historical and spiritual significance of St Vincent and Baliceaux to Garifuna and Carib communities.

The Floating Head Of Feminism: The Domesticated Domain And Erasure Of The Female (No)Body In Contemporary Television And Cinema, 2018 Marshall University
The Floating Head Of Feminism: The Domesticated Domain And Erasure Of The Female (No)Body In Contemporary Television And Cinema, Alicia Brooke Turner
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
The Floating Head of Feminism is a project that seeks to examine the concept of the abject as that which disobeys borders and blurs boundaries and to subsequently look at this conception through female-coded artificial intelligence. The AI abject is the part of the self that is cast off or removed so that one can claim an identity, which the abject, in turn, threatens. I discuss the importance of the female-coded AI’s digital embodiment in virtual spaces, and this idea is expanded on through an examination of the science-fiction film genre. This thesis serves to reveal the relationship of resistance …
Some-Ness In No-When: Queer Temporalities In The Horror Genre, 2018 Marshall University
Some-Ness In No-When: Queer Temporalities In The Horror Genre, Melody Hope Cooper
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
In my research, I question why heteronormative society is afraid of the elements of horror films that are inherently queer. My focus is on temporal understandings of horror through the concepts of queer time, as theorized by Jack Halberstam and the theory of the abject, as presented by Julia Kristeva. I examine the relationship between queer time and heteronormative time. The abject serves as the return of time without identity or defined by binaries. Queer time is the time that will destroy heteronormative time’s conception of itself. This then relates to the horror that is created by the queering of …
The Kapo On Film: Tragic Perpetrators And Imperfect Victims, 2018 Washington and Lee University School of Law
The Kapo On Film: Tragic Perpetrators And Imperfect Victims, Mark A. Drumbl
Scholarly Articles
The Nazis coerced and enlisted detainees into the administration of the labour and death camps. These detainees were called Kapos. The Kapos constitute a particularly contested, and at times tabooified, element of Holocaust remembrance. Some Kapos deployed their situational authority to ease the conditions of other prisoners, while others acted cruelly and committed abuse. This project explores treatment of the Kapo on film. This paper considers two films: Kapò (1959, directed by Pontecorvo, Italy) and Kapo (2000, directed by Setton, Israel). These two films vary in genre: Kapò (1959) is a feature fiction movie, whereas Kapo (2000) is a documentary. …

A Womb With A View, 2018 Bard College
A Womb With A View, Briauna Marie Falk
Senior Projects Spring 2018
I found my mother’s pregnancy diary when I was 12. The diary presents not only the story of my origin, but also the story of how my biological father left my mother. The diary gave me insight into what unfolded while I was growing inside her, and yet, many questions still remain unanswered. I have heard that trauma experienced by the mother is felt in utero alongside her – I worry one of the first feelings I felt was true sadness. Ideally the diary could answer my unresolved questions, but instead I am left to my imagination. The diary cannot …
A Dose Of Color, A Dose Of Reality: Contextualizing Intentional Tort Actions With Black Documentaries, 2018 University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School
A Dose Of Color, A Dose Of Reality: Contextualizing Intentional Tort Actions With Black Documentaries, Regina Austin
All Faculty Scholarship
This article describes the way documentary films can provide important cultural context in the assessment of tort claims. This kind of contextual analysis exposes the social conditions that drive legal disputes. For example, in the case of Klayman v. Obama, Larry Klayman claimed that Black Lives Matter, among other defendants, was liable for various intentional torts (including intentional infliction of emotional distress) by fomenting hostility toward the police in black communities. The court dismissed the case but declined to hold Klayman liable for sanctions. One documentary film, I Am Not Your Negro, locates Klayman’s claims in a historical …
Rebooting Masculinity After 9/11: Male Heroism On Film From Bush To Trump, 2018 University of Kentucky
Rebooting Masculinity After 9/11: Male Heroism On Film From Bush To Trump, Owen R. Horton
Theses and Dissertations--English
Conceptions of masculinity on film shifted after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from representations of male heroism as invulnerable, powerful, and safe to representations of male heroism as resilient, vengeful, and vulnerable. At the same time, the antagonists of these films shifted towards representations as shadowy, unknowable, and disembodied. These changing representations, I argue, are windows into the anxieties Americans faced in the aftermath of the attacks. The continuing presentation of power as linked to violence, however, illustrates the ways in which conceptions of masculinity have stayed the same.
