My, Is That Cyborg A Little Bit Queer?, Esperanza Miyake Mar 2004

My, Is That Cyborg A Little Bit Queer?, Esperanza Miyake

Journal of International Women's Studies

This piece of work is a response to the following question: ‘Critically assess the importance, or otherwise, of Donna Haraway’s “manifesto” for early twenty-first century feminists’. Based on Stein and Plummer’s outline of queer theory in their essay, “I can’t even think straight”: “Queer” Theory and the Missing Sexual Revolution in Sociology (Stein and Plummer 1996). This piece compares and contrasts different aspects of queer theory (sociological, ideological, political and ontological) with Haraway’s ‘manifesto’ in order to investigate the possibilities of a cyberqueer theory: to ‘queer’ (as a verb) the ‘cyborg’. Whilst attempting to interrelate both the notion of the …

Kurosawa's Throne Of Blood And East Asia's Macbeth, Yuwen Hsiung Mar 2004

Kurosawa's Throne Of Blood And East Asia's Macbeth, Yuwen Hsiung

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Yuwen Hsiung presents in her paper, "Kurosawa's Throne of Blood and East Asia's Macbeth," a comparative study between Kurosawa's film Throne of Blood and a contemporary Taiwanese play, Kingdom of Desire, both of which are adaptations of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Stepping from Eastern cultural background, both show similar orientation towards the original play, for instance the sizing down of the number of witches and the decreasing of Macbeth's heroic status. Gilles Deleuze's theory of movement image provides an insightful look into Kurosawa's filmology, which emphasizes the interrelatedness of every individual under the same condition. The idea of collectivity could be examined …

Shakespeare And The Visualization Of Metaphor In Two Chinese Versions Of Macbeth, Alexander C.Y. Huang Mar 2004

Shakespeare And The Visualization Of Metaphor In Two Chinese Versions Of Macbeth, Alexander C.Y. Huang

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his paper, "Shakespeare and the Visualization of Metaphor in Two Chinese Versions of Macbeth," Alexander Huang proposes that, in addition to political uses, visualization is an important dimension of cultural translations of Shakespeare. In recent studies, Shakespeare's global presence has been investigated from various perspectives of critical inquiry, especially with postcolonial theories and in East-West literary relations. Instead of faulting cultural imperialism or foregrounding political statements in theatre, Huang explores the visual dimension of cultural translation found in Kingdom of Desire (a Beijing opera adaptation of Macbeth) and Story of the Bloody Hand (a Kunqu opera appropriation of the …

Reality And Metaphor In Jane Howell's And Julie Taymor's Productions Of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, Lucian Ghita Mar 2004

Reality And Metaphor In Jane Howell's And Julie Taymor's Productions Of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, Lucian Ghita

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his paper, "Reality and Metaphor in Jane Howell's and Julie Taymor's Productions of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus," Lucian Ghita looks at how Jane Howell's 1985 BBC production of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus and Julie Taymor's film 1999 adaptation Titus re-fashion the image of Young Lucius. In Ghita's interpretation this happens by structuring the boy as the nexus of a cycle of violence that disturbs not only Andronicus's household, but also the moral and socio-political structures of ancient Rome. Ghita shows how the two directors politicize and ritualize their films by using cinematic techniques to distinguish, on the one hand, the real …

Hamlet's "Globe" And The Self As Performer In England And Japan, Yu Shibuya Mar 2004

Hamlet's "Globe" And The Self As Performer In England And Japan, Yu Shibuya

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his paper, "Hamlet's 'Globe' and the Self as Performer in England and Japan," Yu Shibuya argues that Hamlet sees his life as a performance. Shibuya presents examples from Tsuneari Fukuda's Japanese translation to suggest that Fukuda makes choices that emphasize the theatrical side of Hamlet's character. If Hamlet perceives himself as an actor, then his definition of theater or an actor is ultimately a definition of himself. Shibuya uses the theme of self-definition to examine Kenneth Branagh's film version, especially the Mousetrap and the "O what a rogue and peasant slave" scenes. By analyzing Branagh's staging and directorial decisions …

Shakespeare's Taming Of The Shrew And The Tradition Of Screwball Comedy, Mei Zhu Mar 2004

Shakespeare's Taming Of The Shrew And The Tradition Of Screwball Comedy, Mei Zhu

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her paper, "Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew and the Tradition of Screwball Comedy," Mei Zhu argues that Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew is controversial owing to the subtlety and complexity of the text as well as its subject matter. Franco Zeffirelli's 1967 film version seems to follow the narrative structure of the original play closely while its effect is different. Through a detailed analysis and comparison of Shakespeare's play and Zeffirelli's adaptation, Mei argues that Zeffirelli's Taming is based on the Hollywood genre of screwball comedy. Rooted in mid-1930s USA during the Great Depression, such films feature a comic …

Silence And Sound In Kurosawa's Throne Of Blood, Lei Jin Mar 2004

Silence And Sound In Kurosawa's Throne Of Blood, Lei Jin

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Lei Jin argues in her paper, "Silence and Sound in Kurosawa's Throne of Blood," that silence and sound are employed as vehicles to explore the major themes of Kurosawa's Throne of Blood, fate, ambition, and destruction. By examining closely a few dramatic moments of the film, Lei demonstrates that silence and the interaction between silence, natural sound, and Noh music enhance the effect of Kurosawa's visual images, enforce their symbolic messages, and intensify the characters' psychological conflicts. Although Asaji's introspective speech and most of the dialogue between Washizu and Asaji are eliminated, silence bespeaks Asaji's unfathomable evil. In turn, Washizu's …

Science Fiction, Forbidden Planet, And Shakespeare's The Tempest, Simone Caroti Mar 2004

Science Fiction, Forbidden Planet, And Shakespeare's The Tempest, Simone Caroti

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his paper, "Science Fiction, Forbidden Planet, and Shakespeare's The Tempest," Simone Caroti illustrates the way in which Cyril Hume and Fred Wilcox's 1956 science fiction movie Forbidden Planet -- whose plot is inspired by Shakespeare's Tempest -- reconfigures in Shakespeare's play. Caroti begins by defining the genre of science fiction and explaining its attraction for modern audiences. Following Darko Suvin's notions of science fiction, Caroti highlights the theme of cognitive estrangement and shows how Forbidden Planet offers a cultural translation of this theme in The Tempest. The result of Caroti's analysis is to read Prospero and his magic in …

Cultural Anxiety And The Female Body In Zeffirelli's Hamlet, Xianfeng Mou Mar 2004

Cultural Anxiety And The Female Body In Zeffirelli's Hamlet, Xianfeng Mou

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Xianfeng Mou analyzes in her paper, "Cultural Anxiety and the Female Body in Zeffirelli's Hamlet," the workings of power, both discursive and visual, behind Zeffirelli's handling of the Nunnery and Mousetrap scenes, focusing on feminist interpretations of the female body and female sexuality. Drawing on theories by Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, and Julia Kristeva, Mou analyzes how Zeffirelli, using Hamlet as his spokesman, constructs his negative meanings about Gertrude's sexuality as rampant and aberrant and Ophelia's body as disloyal, insincere, and insignificant. Mou argues that Zeffirelli's discursive and visual constructions confer absolute power upon Hamlet and that this reflects Zeffirelli's …

Romans, Greeks, And Jews: The World Of Jesus And The Disciples, Sidnie White Crawford Mar 2004

Romans, Greeks, And Jews: The World Of Jesus And The Disciples, Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

From a special issue on Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ:

All contemporary moviegoers are aware of the difficulties of adapting a book, the written word, to film, a medium that relies on visual and aural sensations to convey its meaning. How often do we hear the following comments about a film: “the book was different,” or “the book was better,” or, most damning of all, “they changed the book!” When the book is an ancient book, such as a gospel from the New Testament, the problem is compounded by the fact that the book is for us …

Reframing The Fields, Robert Masson Mar 2004

Reframing The Fields, Robert Masson

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

The conception of metaphoric process elaborated by Mary Gerhart and Allan Russell illuminates a key mechanism often involved in the most significant advances in science and religion. Attention to this conceptual device provides a productive way to reframe the relationships and dialogues between the fields. The theory has compelling implications for reframing the understanding of theology and its task.
