  • Arta Cinematografică Şi TV
    Arta cinematografică şi TV Marian ŢUŢUI Balkan Aristocrats and Villains in Western and American Cinema Rezumat Aristocraţi şi ticăloşi balcanici în cinematograful vest-european şi american Peninsula Balcanică a intrat destul de rar în atenţia scriitorilor şi regizorilor vest-europeni şi americani. De aceea, imaginea acestei zone rămâne cel mai adesea convenţională. Pe lângă adaptarea pentru ecran a unor opere literare, motivaţiile realizării unor filme despre Balcani ţin de ponderea unor evenimente şi personalităţi politice locale, precum şi de actualizarea scrierilor de aventuri şi a celor sentimentale („romances”, „romanţuri”). În atenţia cineaştilor persistă curiozitatea descoperirii unei regiuni exotice şi utilizarea reputaţiei negative a zonei în cadrul unui subiect de suspans. În articol a fost luat în vizor spectrul de filme ancorate în filmul occidental şi american şi diversitatea de genuri şi stilistică. Cuvinte-cheie: Balcani, exotism, clişeu, ecranizare, miniserie TV, film de aventuri, thriller, parodie, ţări fic- tive, escapism. Summary Balkan Aristocrats and Villains in Western and American Cinema The Balkan Peninsula have got rarely the attention of Western Europeans and Americans writers and film- directors. Therefore, the image of this area remains mostly conventional one. Besides the screen adaptation of cer- tain literary works, motivations of making films about the Balkans relate to share some local events and political figures, as well as updating of adventures and sentimental writings („romances”, „romanţuri”). In the filmmakers’ attention still persists the curiosity to discover of an exotic region and to use the negative reputation of the area in a matter of suspense. In the article was taken in the viewfinder the spectrum of the Western and American film, as well the genuistic and stylistic diversity.

  • Recommended Reading List
    RECOMMENDED READING LIST 1 DEAR PARENTS, HOME SCHOOL TEACHERS Kolbe’s Recommended Reading List began over twenty years ago with a list given to the Kolbe founders by the eminent classical scholar Dr. John Senior. In the intervening years it has been augmented by parents, teachers, and students, adding numerous titles in nonfiction as well as fiction. It has been adopted by schools and used by teachers and parents as a reliable guide to good reading material. With this enhanced version, it is necessary to thank Mrs. Maria Skrobola for her generous additions and help. This compilation of reading materials represents some of the best writings in prose and poetry, either in their original English language or in translation. In recommending materials for your student, caution and prudence must be exercised. The suitability of a book often varies according to the age and maturity of the student. The books listed in the “Kindergarten and Under” catergory are suitable to be read to your child, as most children this age are unable to read themselves. Furthermore, although this list provides reference material for the student outside of the classroom curriculum, consultation with a teacher or parent as to the suitability of a title is certainly expected of the student. An author’s name appearing on our list does not automatically imply our full endorsement of all the works by the author; nor does it suggest that the author’s personal lifestyle, religious convictions or political viewpoint are in full accord with our academic criteria and moral vision. It is our duty as educators to represent authors whose influence on literature is indisputable, although we steer clear of materials that serve no constructive purpose for our educational goals.

  • Soumitra Chatterjee: a Legacy of True Bengal
    © 2021 JETIR January 2021, Volume 8, Issue 1 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) SOUMITRA CHATTERJEE: A LEGACY OF TRUE BENGAL Ms Swagata Chakravorty Assistant Professor of the Department of Commerce, T.John College,Bangalore University B-402,Casa Ansal Apartment, No 18,Bannerghatta Road,Bangalore-560076 Abstract: On 14th of November, 2020, Bengal did not lose just an actor but a poet, philosopher, dramatist, painter, leftist and above all a great human being.Soumitra Chatterjee was mourned by millions of fans on this day as a person who had truly loved Bengal from its roots. As a responsible citizen he had evoked the essence of this language through the poetries, plays , movies and lots more. Awarded by the Dadasaheb Phalke and the Padma Bhushan are just a few as the list of honours is unending.The essay below is a tribute to the accomplished man, Soumitra Chatterjee. As the light faded at the `Minerva ‘ theatre , a tall handsome man made a princely appearance on the stage. There was perhaps a halo all around him.He was smart, energetic and above all a blessed actor. I was awestruck-Soumitra Chatterjee was there in front of me, enthralling the spectators with his unparalleled performance at the drama called`Tiktiki’.I came out of the spellbound state only at the curtain fall to realise that it was all a drama and not reality! Our amicable neighbourhood often held badminton matches amidst whatever little space we could get in the jungle of concrete. One fine evening, a car stopped and I found a tall person approaching us and enquired whether he also could join us in the game.
