  • Robert Wise's the Day the Earth Stood Still Part I
    Robert Wise’s The Day the Earth Stood Still Part I: A Religious Film? By Anton Karl Kozlovic Fall 2013 Issue of KINEMA ROBERT WISE’S THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL Part I: A RELIGIOUS FILM? Abstract Science fiction (SF) films have frequently been the home for subtextual biblical characters, particularly Christ-figures. Crafting these sacred subtexts can make the difference between an ordinary filmandan exceptional one. This investigation intends to explore the religious and other dimensions of the 1951 SF cult classic The Day the Earth Stood Still directed by Robert Wise. In Part 1 of this analytical triptych, the film’s reception as a UFO film with political, artificial intelligence (AI), police and philosophical dimensions was canvassed. It was argued that Wise’s film contains all of the above genre dimensions; however, it can bemore fully appreciated as a profoundly religious film wrapped in contemporary scientific garb. The forthcoming parts will explore the factual elements of this proposition in far greater analytical detail. Introduction: SF and Sacred Storytelling Historically speaking, science fiction (SF) films(1) have harboured numerous hidden biblical characters in typically covert forms. For example, Barry McMillan described many an SF alien as ”a ’transcendent’ being - a benign entity who brings wisdom and knowledge, the imparting of which brings resolution, insight and the beginnings of personal or political harmony” (360). Whilst Bonnie Brain argued that: ”The ascendancy of the aliens derives strongly from their aura of religious authority. Teachers, mystics, priests, or prophets, capable of ”miracles” and, in some cases, ”resurrection,” these aliens flirt with divinity” (226).

    36 MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 2014 LIFESTYLE Gossip Jessica Alba is a prude essica Alba admits she is still a “real prude.” The ‘Sin City: A Dame To Kill For’ actress - who Jreprises her role as stripper Nancy Callahan in the sequel - insists that, despite being cast in a number of sexy roles, she is nothing like her characters in real life. She said: “The key word is play - everyone who knows me well knows that I’m a real prude. But a good director can make a scene look sexy without me taking off my top.” The 33-year-old actress - who has children Honor, six, and Haven, two, with husband Cash Warren - also insists she isn’t perfect and finds it a challenge to juggle her busy career and motherhood but thinks it is important to be a good role model for her daughters by doing both. She added in an interview with America’s OK! magazine: “I’m very lucky I have a lot of help. As women, we have to accept that we can’t do it all. It’s important to show our daughters that there’s more to each of us than just being a mother.” Pattinson had limited Rover diet obert Pattinson lived on a diet of bread and barbecue sauce while filming ‘The Rover’.

  • “The Piece Was Made to Demonstrate the Strength
    ATCOOPER SUMMER/FALL 2020 THE COOPER UNION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE AND ART “The piece was made to demonstrate the strength and determination that the Class of ’24 has to create artwork and collaborate across the distance that currently separates us. Instead of highlighting an individual, like a typical college commitment post, the goal of this work was to show a united trio of artists, each as important as the other in accomplishing unified goals. For me, this piece is a clear declaration of my intent to not only overcome but also to harness the unique challenges that we now face and create engaging work.” —Clyde Nichols, Class of 2024, School of Art PERSISTENCE & RESILIENCE The image on the front cover came to our attention via Instagram in May, when Clyde Nichols, an incoming first-year student in the School of Art, first posted it as his “I’m going to Cooper Union!” announcement. He provided the text in a subsequent email explaining the intent of the work. The other two students, Anahita Sukhija and Innua Anna Maria (seated) are also incoming School of Art first-years. Clyde’s work exemplifies the Cooper spirit of surpassing limitations by bringing determined, creative individuals together, whether physically or metaphorically, to build something bigger than themselves. This issue of At Cooper aims to capture that same spirit as it has played out during one of the most extraordinary periods in the 161-year history of The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. In March, of course, the entire campus shut down—a Cooper first—due to COVID-19.

  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.
