Black Hollywood: The Stereotypes, Erasure, And Social Inclusivity Of Black Entertainers In Hollywood, 1930-60s, Jalen Robinson
Black Hollywood: The Stereotypes, Erasure, And Social Inclusivity Of Black Entertainers In Hollywood, 1930-60s, Jalen Robinson
jr9714@bard.edu
My field of study allowed me to concentrate on film history, especially during the pivotal periods between the Great depression and the Civil Rights Movement. My topic focuses on the utilization, and lack thereof, of African American musicians, singers, comedians, and actors in Hollywood films. The prominence of jazz/swing music, mixed with the popularity of the optimistic musical genre, defined the majority of possible avenues black talent could find work in the studio system. I examine the social stigmatization of black entertainers stereotyped in various roles within this genre, as well as a few non-musical movies, and the stars who …
Valkyries Handbook: Representations Of Women In Comics, Alexandra C. Weston
Valkyries Handbook: Representations Of Women In Comics, Alexandra C. Weston
Alexandra C Weston
This thesis delves into the surprisingly uniform treatment of the female character in comic storytelling, across all media, and will examine how this has evolved over time. It further explores what these changes represent for the stories, the characters, the creators, and the readers. The focus of the production aspects of this project is on the curation and development of a feminist perspective on comic books, their narrative and the industry that forms them. Looking at specific examples from historical and modern comics, as well as creative

The New 'Porn Wars': Representing Gay Male Sexuality In The Middle East, Evangelos Tziallas
The New 'Porn Wars': Representing Gay Male Sexuality In The Middle East, Evangelos Tziallas
Evangelos Tziallas
This article argues that Michael Lucas’ Men of Israel was made in response to the rising popularity of Arab themes, performers and locations in recent gay male pornography, particularly American studio-based productions. The article explores how recent representations of Arab society, culture and men in gay male pornography employ varying degrees of performativity and authenticity in an attempt to break down differences, and bridge connections, between East and West, while Lucas and his film attempt to maintain that rigid imaginary border. I argue that the texts are a microcosm of the contentious and ongoing debates about homosexuality in the East …
Filming Dance: Embodied Syntax In Sasha Waltz’S ‘S’, Helen A. Fielding
Filming Dance: Embodied Syntax In Sasha Waltz’S ‘S’, Helen A. Fielding
Helen A Fielding
This paper brings Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological approach to Sasha Waltz’s dance film S, which focuses on the relation between sexuality and language. Maintaining that movement in cinema takes place in the viewers and not the film, the paper considers how the visual can be deepened to include the ways we move and are moved. Saussure’s insights into language are brought to the sensible, which is here understood in terms of divergences from norms. Though film would seem to privilege vision, viewing this film helps to elucidate Merleau-Ponty’s claim that a film succeeds when it engages the viewer’s embodied understanding, and shifts …
Media Representations Of Perpetrators: Case Study Of South Africa’S Eugene De Kock, Emily H. Freilich
Media Representations Of Perpetrators: Case Study Of South Africa’S Eugene De Kock, Emily H. Freilich
ehf02014@pomona.edu
This paper examines the importance and practices of media portrayal of perpetrators in human rights atrocities. Specifically, it investigates the media portrayal of Eugene de Kock, the commander of the Vlakplaas death squad in South Africa and one of the most notorious perpetrators of the South African apartheid. The paper first introduces the debates and moral dilemmas surrounding the media portrayal of perpetrators. It then examines the how news media and books represented Eugene de Kock and his Amnesty Committee trial and analyses how those portrayals help or hinder the transitional justice process in South Africa. The media surrounding de …
Bridging The Political Deficit: Loss, Morality And Agency In Films Addressing Climate Change, Philip Hammond
Bridging The Political Deficit: Loss, Morality And Agency In Films Addressing Climate Change, Philip Hammond
Philip Hammond
This article examines the emotional rhetorical strategies of three films – The Day After Tomorrow (2004), An Inconvenient Truth (2006) and The Age of Stupid (2009) – which attempt to create engagements with the “post-political” problem of climate change. In all three films the experience of personal loss, the potential for future loss, and the emotions associated with loss are fundamental to affective engagement. The emotional loading of representations of environmental problems derives partly from concerns about human political agency and subjectivity. It is not so much that emotional or moral appeals are simply added on in order to bolster …

Of Doppelgängers And Alter Egos: Surveillance Footage As Cinematic Double, Evangelos Tziallas
Of Doppelgängers And Alter Egos: Surveillance Footage As Cinematic Double, Evangelos Tziallas
Evangelos Tziallas
This article argues that as surveillance becomes defined less as an idea of power-knowledge and more as a representation or action conducted by or contingent upon moving images and related technologies, the spectre of surveillance that was maintained subtextually in moving images returns, rather than develops anew. It argues that surveillance is the return of the repressed; it is cinema’s uncanny double—its doppelgänger and alter ego. It uses the first two Paranormal Activity films as case studies to explore how the discourse and emulation of surveillance produces multiple interdependent doubles, which engender uncanny cinematic experiences. Ultimately, it argues that the …

The Final Showdown: 7 Men From Now (1956), Elaine P. Lennon Dr
Dr Elaine Lennon
Plot unity in the Western 7 Men from Now (1956) derives from classical tenets of story structure and simplifies the narrative syntax so that every action relates to the central theme of revenge. The film’s hero is a corruption of the traditional cowboy and exemplifies the mid-1950s transition of the genre to more adult representation, leading the Western into its mature phase.

Year Of The Gun: 1950 And The Rebirth Of The Western, Elaine P. Lennon Dr
Dr Elaine Lennon
In 1950 two Westerns were released that marked the genre’s entry to a new mature phase questioning the role of violence. Their screenplays contain templates of inner reflection and psychological complexity that would forever change the direction of the category.
Emerging Views On Making: Fibre Graduates Reflect On Their Practice, Kathleen Morris
Emerging Views On Making: Fibre Graduates Reflect On Their Practice, Kathleen Morris
Kathleen Morris
This narrative research examines the ways in which craft is conceptualized from the perspective of five recent graduates from the Material Art and Design Fibre Program at a prominent Canadian art and design university. Recognizing the cultural currents that have excised acts of making, including Western de-industrialization and abundant access to offshore labour markets, this research looks at the role of maker within a new societal context. A nascent theoretical platform for craft, shaped by artists and academics, counters a dearth of voices that has characterized the field’s history. Here, craft is posited as a methodology, characterized by embodiment, subjectivity, …

“Ahead Of The Lawmen”: Law And Morality In Disney Animated Films 1960–1998, Nehal A. Patel
“Ahead Of The Lawmen”: Law And Morality In Disney Animated Films 1960–1998, Nehal A. Patel
Nehal A. Patel
This article examines the relationship between law and morality in a selection of animated Disney movies released between 1960 and 1998. The authors analyze all of the fully-animated, G-rated movies that grossed $100 million or more (adjusted for inflation) which shaped the childhood of lawyers practicing today. We find that the predominant representation of the relationship between law and morality is that they are at odds. Law most often is portrayed as having no relationship to morality or, even worse, as an obstacle to justice. These findings have implications for theories of law and morality, justice, and ethics. These findings …

Sport And Film (Routledge, 2013), Seán Crosson Dr.
Seán Crosson
The sports film has become one of commercial cinema's most recognizable genres. From classic boxing films such as Raging Bull (1980) to soccer-themed box-office successes like Bend it Like Beckham (2002), the sports film stands at the interface of two of our most important cultural forms. This book examines the social, historical and ideological significance of representations of sport in film internationally, an essential guide for all students and enthusiasts of sport, film, media and culture. Sport and Film traces the history of the sports film, from the beginnings of cinema in the 1890s, its consolidation as a distinct fiction …

An Imaged Life. Wanda Wulz And The Familiar Archive, Silvia Valisa
An Imaged Life. Wanda Wulz And The Familiar Archive, Silvia Valisa
Silvia Valisa
This essay reviews Italian photographer Wanda Wulz's (1903-1984) artistic production in light of the family archive it belongs to, and it proposes an in-depth reading of Wulz's most famous avant-garde photograph, "Io + gatto." The Trieste-based Wulz family -Wanda's grandfather Giuseppe, her father Carlo, sisters Marion and Wanda- produced an impressive body of work that crosses genres, generations and styles. In particular, Wanda Wulz, an established professional in an epoch in which women were most often only the targets of the photographic gaze, brought a new sensibility to Italian photography, and contributed some of the most original Italian photographs of …

Radical Love: A Transatlantic Dialogue About Race And Mixed Race
Radical Love: A Transatlantic Dialogue About Race And Mixed Race
Daniel McNeil
Whereas the transracial, transdisciplinary and transnational field of mixed race studies tends to focus on the love between “interracial couples” and their children, this article opens up space for a critical dialogue about how people classified as 'mixed race' in North America and Europe navigate racism, racialization and relationships across time and space.
Dossier Chris Marker: The Suffering Image, Gavin W. Keeney
Dossier Chris Marker: The Suffering Image, Gavin W. Keeney
Gavin W Keeney
Dossier Chris Marker is a study of a late-modern chiasmus, impersonal-personal agency, as it comes to expression in the works of French artist and filmmaker Chris Marker as the dynamic interplay of political and subjective agency. As chiasmus, the complementary halves of this often-apocalyptic dynamis (a semi-catastrophic, temporal or historical force-field) also – arguably – secretly agree to meet, through the work of art, in the futural. Consistent with the classical figure of concordia discors, these irreducible warring aspects of life experience are, in fact, resolved in an atemporal and ahistorical moment that inhabits the work of art from its …
