Davis Sr., a veteran of landmark civil rights confrontations since the 1930's and a former chairman of the department of political science at City College of New York, died on Monday in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 90 and formerly lived in Washington and New Rochelle, N.Y. A native of Washington, Dr. Davis won his spurs fighting for equal rights as a young academic at Howard University and as a leader of the New Negro Alliance, a group that fought racial discrimination. John Aubrey Davis graduated from Williams College in 1933. He received a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1934 and a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1949, both in political science. He taught at Howard University in the mid-1930's and became a full professor at Lincoln University. Aubrey Davis is one of the three main protagonists of "The Grudge 2" and is the central character of "Aubrey's Story," just as the other protagonists have stories (Jake's Story and Allison's Story). Aubrey is Karen Davis' sister and was killed by Takeo Saeki and became Kayako's replacement ghost, and thus, the quaternary antagonist of Allison's story. She is portrayed by Amber Tamblyn. John Aubrey Davis, esteemed political scientist, educator, and activist, was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa society at Williams College where he graduated su mma cum laude in 1933. While his major was English (Davis was a gifted writer), his passion was politics and public policy. It was a passion kindled at a very early age. Dr. John Aubrey Davis Sr. (May 10, 1912 ⓠDecember 17, 2002) was an African-American political science professor and activist of the Civil Rights Movement who served as the head academic researcher on the historic Brown v. Board of Education case. Davis's career as a civil-rights activist began in 1933, when he formed the New Negro Alliance with Belford Lawson Jr. and M.

    Sarah Frances Dawson MA Candidate Capturing Ghosts and Making Them Speak: Genre and the Asian Horror Film Remake Durban, South Africa 2013 1 Abstract This thesis takes up the genre of the “Asian horror film remake” as a nexus for the illustration of the intersection between two significant theoretical perspectives that inform contemporary film theory: Lacanian psychoanalysis and Deleuzian transcendental empiricism. It employs concepts such as Lacan’s registers of the Real and Symbolic alongside Deleuze (and Guattari’s) theories on the actual present and the virtual past to interrogate terms such as ‘originality’, ‘authenticity’, ‘repetition’, and ‘difference’ in an attempt to account for the role of genre in the production of meaningful reality, both within the bounds of the text and in cultural life more generally. It first deconstructs the term genre as it has been employed throughout classical, structuralist and post-structuralist genre theory, in order to reveal its ephemeral nature, and to show it to be worthy of investigation in its own right as a central component of language, more than simply a critical tool. It goes on to elaborate the contingency of discourse that constructs verisimilitudinous reality, and explicates these ideas through analysis of the Asian horror remake films. It then turns to Lacan’s division between the registers of the Symbolic and the Real in order to explore the function of the repetition that is visible in generic film in relation to the subject’s experience of a coherent and authentic reality. Finally, it proceeds to engage with Deleuze’s ideas regarding virtuality and asignification and argues, with reference to the Asian horror remake, that it is the perpetual tension between sameness and difference that sustains meaningful life.

  • Hybridity in Popular Culture: a Transnational Analysis of American Adaptations of Japanese Movies in 21St Century
    Della Putri Febrina – Hybridity in Popular Culture: A Transnational Analysis of American Adaptations of Japanese Movies in 21st Century HYBRIDITY IN POPULAR CULTURE: A TRANSNATIONAL ANALYSIS OF AMERICAN ADAPTATIONS OF JAPANESE MOVIES IN 21st CENTURY Della Putri Febrina [email protected] Abstract American popular culture has developed from time to time in producing the products. In the progress, the popular product has been modified to satisfy the taste of the consumer and Hollywood is being the one of popular product’s makers which applies modifications in manufacturing movies; and the result of the development is hybridity seen in Hollywood movies. This paper is written under American Studies discipline, by applying Transnational American Studies as the basis of the study. Furthermore, the research also used the theory of hybridity in constructing the analysis which concerned about American adaptations of Japanese original movies, namely The Grudge, Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, and Godzilla. The method used in this paper is the qualitative research which comprises the library research by analyzing the three movies as the primary data and the information of the production as the secondary data. As the result, there are some conclusions met in the analysis. The first conclusion is the three movies definitely adopt American and Japanese narratives and build a new sphere where the two nations living under the same frame. The adoption includes adoption of values, language, and iconic figure in Japan. The second conclusion relates with the changing of values and taste in Hollywood and shows that Hollywood has power in shifting the values of the original movies which is full of eastern values to be the ones which embodied American values.
