Science On Television : A Representational Site For Mediating Ideology, Helen C. Singleton

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

The emergence of a new science paradigm has been identified. It is characteristically described as structuring an organic, holistic and ecological framework for understanding the nature of reality. The modern scientific paradigm with its characteristic underlying inorganic, reductive, and mechanistic vision of reality, discursively dominates Western societies' cultural sense-making with its attempts to unlock the 'mysteries' of nature. The radically different characteristics of the new paradigm science is linked to 'rising culture' articulated in the exploratory social change of alternative social movements. The holistic principles and ecological values found variously in the environment, feminist, and new age/holistic health, peace and …

Ironic Discourse In Film Noir, D. Kirk Richardson

English Theses & Dissertations

Flourishing in America between 1941-58, film noir became a major cinematic movement prophetically focusing on urban crime, corruption, and an unraveling social fabric. Film noir became so major, in fact, that the genre defied definition and reached an all encompassing ambiguity; continually, some critics refuse to accept it as a genre, or a fad, or a cycle, or even as simply existing. To include here any specific delineation of the genre would be impossible because there are so many possible choices; what is generally regarded to be true of all the motion pictures so haphazardly grouped under the heading ''film …

Against A Politics Of Desire: Lesbians Romance And Film, Angela Anelalani Cantrell

English Theses & Dissertations

Within much of feminist theory, the lesbian has become much more than a woman-who-loves-other-women-sexually: the lesbian has become a metaphor for female creativity and a female autonomy freed from heterosexual aesthetics, gender model constraints, indeed, anything deemed patriarchal, i.e., misogyny, racism, capitalism, etc. Throughout my analysis of four films, I will argue that lesbian, when used as a metaphor, is a Romantic metaphor; in other words, feminist strategies that employ lesbian-as-metaphor are subscribing to a Romantic vision of lesbian sexuality. Although this is not saying anything new--feminists since the early seventies have questioned the romanticization of femaleness and lesbianism--I hope …

Film Alchemy: Interviews With Direct-On-Film Animators, Leah Bosworth

Milne Library

Direct-on-film animation refers to any imagery created on film without a camera. An interchangeable term is "cameraless animation." Since the days of the direct-on-film pioneers Norman McLaren and Len Lye, the medium has evolved from a method of special effects to a broad range of artistic expression. The work of the four artists I interviewed illustrate the wide range of processes that can be considered direct-on-film animation from straightforward drawing and painting on film frame by frame, to altering the film's surface with chemicals.

Feature Films For Communication Courses: A Bibliography, Russell F. Proctor Ii, Scott D. Johnson

Rhetoric and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

Once upon a time, the only way to answer the question was informally; that is, by offering an opinion or directing the inquirer to someone who had experience in the area. Recently, however, the process has been formalized and expanded through various written materials. Rather than keeping lists of films in our heads, we can now refer people to articles, textbooks, and documents. The new trick is remembering the references for these works in circulation. This article is an attempt to remedy that problem. We offer here a list of resources for those who want ideas for using feature films …

Howell's Prairie...A Tnt Legacy, Larry Dean Ruebling

Theses

In 1940, the U. S. Government acquired approximately 18,000 acres of land, known as Howell's Prairie, located in St. Charles County, Missouri.

The history of Howell's Prairie from the early 1800s through 1940 is an important part of the land acquisition story. The roots …
