Realizing Death: The Journey Of American Cinema, Elizabeth C. Urban

Excellence in Research Awards

Since their inception, movies have served as the meter of popular culture, reflecting the customs, tastes and thinking of their times. As such, films provide benchmarks for the history of psychological development. A survey of American movies reveals that even though there has been a progression of psychological thought about death and dying by the medical community and a more naturalistic portrayal in our cinema, we remain a death-denying culture.

Is Disney Surfing The Third Wave? A Study Of The Pervasiveness Of The Third Wave Of Feminism In Disney's Female Protagonists, Emily S. Ellington

Senior Honors Theses

It is important to understand factors that have influenced Generation Y’s view of womanhood. One way to do this is to analyze third wave feminist messages portrayed by Disney, the media powerhouse. In order to determine if Disney reflects feminist values, the third wave themes portrayed in The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Pocahontas (1995), and Mulan (1999) are examined. It is concluded that Disney portrays the feminist values of independence and multiculturalism; however, the films are set within patriarchal societies and portray women to be domestic. Ultimately, Disney portrays four messages about womanhood: Women are equal …

Mind Vs. Media: A Civil War Between Typography And The Mediated Image, Elizabeth J. Neffinger

Senior Honors Theses

The past thirty years have marked the start of a new kind of civil war in our digitally powered American society. There is a deep chasm between the cry for the lost art of typography and the mediated power of the Image. We are a culture battling a war in our own heads, attempting to assimilate Images without replacing the need for a written text.

This thesis will argue that the mediated Image is not a death sentence to critical thinking; rather it is an undeniable, inescapable power that can be used to positively influence our culture. It will research …

A Case Study Of The Response Of Newsroom Managers To The Psychological Affects On Newsroom Employees Of The Coverage Of A Traumatic News Story, Adrienne S. Garvey

Selected Faculty Publications

Journalists are exposed to traumatic situations every day. Some studies have been done on the lasting effects of the trauma caused by large scale events, such as 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina, but few studies have been conducted on the effects of everyday trauma, such as murder or any other violent crime. Therefore, little is done from a newsroom management standpoint to help address any psychological needs journalists may have following the coverage of a traumatic event. This study examines the Amish school shooting in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, on October 2, 2006 and the effect it had on employees in the …

Child Of The Long Take: Alfonso Cuaron's Film Aesthetics In The Shadow Of Globalization, James N. Udden

Interdisciplinary Studies Faculty Publications

Alfonso Cuaron's 2006 film, Children of Men, not only suggests that the economic pressures on contemporary Hollywood directors differ little from those in the studio era, it also suggests that film style in the age of globalization is not as homogenized as many fear. The long take is the most prominent feature in Children of Men, including many which are digitally contrived. Lofty reasons by the filmmakers are given for these long lakes, but there are more pedestrian reasons behind this. Other examples past and present suggest that often the tong take serves the needs of both filmmakers and …

Reseña De El Verdugo: Acerca De La Felicidad Y De La Inercia De Las Cosas, Oscar Pereira Zazo

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

La vida es una tómbola. Si no que se lo digan a José Luis Rodríguez, el héroe, que no lo quiere ser, de nuestra película. En realidad lo que José Luis quiere es irse a Alemania para aprender mecánica y tener un trabajo respetable. Pero ya se sabe que las cosas no siempre salen a satisfacción de todos, porque como dice el refrán, el hombre propone, Dios dispone y el destino impone.

Reseña De Esa Pareja Feliz: Toma De Conciencia, Oscar Pereira Zazo, Lola Lorenzo

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

“No firmaré jamás, jamás…,” grita una reina loca en una película, según veremos, de pacotilla. La actriz, que recula, se confunde de almena y cae estruendosamente al vacío rompiendo un arco voltaico que los eléctricos no podrán sustituir. Medios escasos para intenciones sublimes. Asistimos, pues, al rodaje de una película histórica; posiblemente, un drama de honor muy del gusto de la España autárquica de los años más negros de la dictadura franquista. Entre los presentes se encuentra nuestro protagonista, Juan (Fernando Fernán Gómez), que se afana como electricista y en lo que se ofrezca en la magnífica producción para mayor …

Feminisms In Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, Emily G. Brown

Institute for the Humanities Theses

With Eyes Wide Shut, Stanley Kubrick examines the causes and conditions in which men are more powerful and men's production, ideas and activities are seen as having greater value and higher status than women's. Eyes Wide Shut's (EWS) renders the tension between Bill (Tom Cruise) and Alice Hartford (Nicole Kidman) in the modem struggle to find balance between the institution of marriage and their autonomous selves visible. As Bill's travels dominate the film, little beyond the first scene of Alice's disrobed body and the last scene highlighting her psychological stability are shown. We follow Bill as he meets several women; …
