Spring 2015 EVENTS Overview Cultural Credit Spring 2015 EVENTS Overview (All events open to the public unless *noted) Fischer Film Festival (FFF)—American Culture through Film Most simply stated, beliefs, thoughts, actions, words, institutions, and possessions comprise the culture of a people. From praiseworthy to tragic, the Fischer Institute invites students to reflect on aspects of American Culture as seen through award winning films. These films reflect some of the best music, art, design, acting, and storytelling of the last few decades. A group of Nichols College students developed an award-winning list, put the options to a vote of the student body. We now present this opportunity to contemplate the good, bad and ugly of American Culture through the artistry, creativity and innovation of the influential film industry. Faculty Collaborations One of Nichols greatest assets is its talented faculty. When those faculty members collaborate to bring outside-the-classroom experiences to students and the community, everyone wins.

Jan. 29 7:00 pm Athletic Center In 1971, racial tensions ran high at TC Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia, as three schools merged to form a newly integrated one. After beating out local favorite and successful coach Bill Yoast of the formerly all-white Hammond High to become head coach of TC Williams Titans, Boone faced the challenge of a lifetime. He endured racial intolerance and the disapproval of Yoast’s supporters. However, after putting their prejudices aside, the two coaches worked together to unify the team. Through hard work and inspiring his coaching staff and players, Coach Boone led his team to the state championship that season. Today, Boone is retired but continues to motivate and inspire audiences with his presentations on respect, teamwork, and community involvement. 300 specially-designed commemorative Remember the Bison T-Shirts will be given away in honor of this event.

  • From Buddy Film to Bromance: Masculinity and Male Melodrama Since 1969
    FROM BUDDY FILM TO BROMANCE: MASCULINITY AND MALE MELODRAMA SINCE 1969 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Amy J. Woodworth May 2014 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Miles Orvell, Advisory Chair, English Dr. Patricia Melzer, German Dr. Oliver Gaycken, English, University of Maryland Dr. Laura Levitt, External Member, Religion © by Amy J. Woodworth 2014 All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Men’s tears are considered rare, and women’s tears are considered profusive. Thus, we tend to think of tearjerkers and melodrama as the province of weepy women viewers. However, if we look back at the last several decades of Hollywood filmmaking, melodramas focused on men—or “male weepies”—have been a steady staple of American cinema. This dissertation explores cycles of male melodramas since 1969, placing them in their socio-historical contexts and examining the ways that they participate in public discourses about men, masculinity, and gender roles. Melodrama’s focus on victims, bids for virtue, and idealizations of not how things are, but how they should be, have made it a fitting and flexible mode for responding to the changing social landscape of America since the rights movements of the 1960s. Specifically, these films consider both the ways that white capitalist patriarchy has circumscribed the public and private lives of men and the ways that advancements of women and racial minorities are impacting (white) men’s lives. This study analyzes the rhetorical effects of these films through both textual evidence and popular reception. Chapters are organized by chronology and subgenre, discussing buddy films of the late 1960s and early 1970s (Midnight Cowboy, The Last Detail, and Scarecrow), paternal melodramas of the late 1970s and early 1980s (The Great Santini, Kramer vs.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter presents background of the study, statement of the problems, purposes of the study, significance of the study, scope and limitation, and definition of the key terms. 1.1 Background of the Study Human beings know the way to express their feeling, thought, and emotion. Something to provide “a place” for all of the people’s expression is literature. Literature means writing valued as work of art. It also refers to the composition that tells stories, dramatizes, situations, expresses emotions, and analyzes. Thus, literature for the readers can give a pleasure and knowledge. According to Bennet and Royle (2004), literature is the kind of writing which most persistently and most provocatively engages with the uncanny aspects of experience, thought, and feeling. It means that literature connects human beings to share experience, thought, and feeling. Through literature people can express what they feel and their idea into written language. Literature is divided into three genres: poetry, prose, and drama. Drama has developed into high technology form into film. Cascardi (2014) states that film builds on the novel, in some ways, but does not overtake it in any ultimate sense - no more, at least, than film put an end to photography or to the theatre. Film is media of literary work that give us information, knowledge, and entertainment to the audience. Film 1 has also the elements of literary works, such as: character, plot, theme, setting, and conflict. Conflict is an increasingly common feature of modern life, and often has disastrous and destructive outcomes (Liebmann, 2004). According to Kellett and Dalton (2001), conflict is part of our everyday lives in relationship, families, and workplaces.
