The Case of Midnight in Paris ITU A|Z • Vol 13 No 3 • November 2016 • 145-154 The use of qualitative data analysis software to read landscapes in movies: The case of Midnight in Paris Başak ÖZER1, Yasin Çağatay SEÇKİN2 1 [email protected] • Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey 2 [email protected] • Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey Received: February 2016 • Final Acceptance: October 2016 Abstract Urban public landscapes include several discourses. Movies strengthen, diver- sify and change these discourses. For this reason, movies are a very important interaction area for the discipline of landscape architecture. With visual, aural and kinesthetic narrative, they have influences on landscapes and landscape percep- tions.These influences are analyzed by reading movies and used as data in research. According to the aim of studies and researchers’ background, various methodolo- gies are used. One of them is qualitative data analysis software. This does not have a common method.The aim of this study reveals a methodology concerning the use of qualitative data analysis software to read landscape narratives in movies. In this context the case study is Midnight in Paris. Paris is consciously used as one of the characters of the movie. Thus, the narrative about Paris urban landscapes through the movie is revealed.Processing data in the proposed methodology con- sisted of designating the 7 basic Code Families (Landscapes, Places, Time, Movie characters, Discourses, Human behaviors, Music and Sounds); defining each se- quence as a Quotation; creating Codes for each Quotation; and classifying Codes according to Code Families. Analyzing the movie was done by reading Networks between Codes and Code Families, and looking at statistical data in reports. Con- nections between Code Families contain important data to analyze visual, au- ral and kinesthetic landscape narratives in movies. Landscapes/Places and Time, Landscape/Places and Discourses, Landscapes/Places and Human behaviors give basic data for reading movies.

SYNOPSIS THE BRIDE - Based on “Blood Wedding” from F. García Lorca - Dirty hands tear the earth. A woman’s mouth shivers out of control. She breathes heavily, as if she were about to choke... We hear her cry, swallow, groan... Her eyes are flooded with tears. Her hands full with dry soil. There’s barely nothing left of her white dress made out of organza and tulle. It’s full of black mud and blood. Staring into the dis- tance, it’s dicult for her to breathe. Her lifeless face, dirtied with mud, soil, blood... she can’t stop crying. Although she tries to calm herself the crying is stronger, deeper. THE BRIDE, alone underneath a dried tree in the middle of a swamp, screams out loud, torn, endless... comfortless. LEONARDO, THE GROOM and THE BRIDE, play together. Three kids in a forest at the banks of a river. The three form an inseparable triangle. However LEONARDO and THE BRIDE share an invisible string, ferocious, unbreakable... THE GROOM looks at them... Years have gone by, and THE BRIDE is getting ready for her wedding. She’s unhappy. Doubt and anxiety consume her. She lives in the middle of white dessert lands, barren, in her father’s house with a glass forge.

  • False Authenticity in the Films of Woody Allen
    False Authenticity in the Films of Woody Allen by Nicholas Vick November, 2012 Director of Thesis: Amanda Klein Major Department: English Woody Allen is an auteur who is deeply concerned with the visual presentation of his cityscapes. However, each city that Allen films is presented in such a glamorous light that the depiction of the cities is falsely authentic. That is, Allen's cityscapes are actually unrealistic recreations based on his nostalgia or stilted view of the city's culture. Allen's treatment of each city is similar to each other in that he strives to create a cinematic postcard for the viewer. However, differing themes and characteristics emerge to define Allen's optimistic visual approach. Allen's hometown of Manhattan is a place where artists, intellectuals, and writers can thrive. Paris denotes a sense of nostalgia and questions the power behind it. Allen's London is primarily concerned with class and the social imperative. Finally, Barcelona is a haven for physicality, bravado, and sex but also uncertainty for American travelers. Despite being in these picturesque and dynamic locations, happiness is rarely achieved for Allen's characters. So, regardless of Allen's dreamy and romanticized visual treatment of cityscapes and culture, Allen is a director who operates in a continuous state of contradiction because of the emotional unrest his characters suffer.

  • “Old Sport” Is Jay Gatsby's Way of Life: Familiarity, Snobbery, Ridicule
    東洋大学人間科学総合研究所紀要 第21号（2019）27‐4327 “Old Sport” Is Jay Gatsby’s Way of Life: Familiarity, Snobbery, Ridicule, and Failure＊ Tomoyuki ASAKAWA＊＊ 1. Introduction F. Scott Fitzgerald gave Jay Gatsby certain characteristics in The Great Gatsby (1925). One of them is his “smile,” another is “old sport.”1 “[In] Gatsby, Fitzgerald made the smile a chief part of the character’s makeup. The smile becomes as synonymous with Gatsby as the use of ‘old sport’” (Dubose, 90n). Since Fitzgerald was aware of the importance of the phrase, he increased its usage in the narrative―it appeared only 4 times in the manuscript (Bruccoli, Introduction xxix-xxx), 38 times in the galleys, and 45 times in the published edition.2 His use of “old sport,” drastically increased through the revisions, contributes to making Gatsby conspicuous― “The ‘old sport’ phrase [. .] fixes Gatsby as precisely as his gorgeous pink rag of a suit” (Eble 90). Gatsby him- self uses “old sport” 42 times out of 45 uses. “Old sport” is not a mere term of address. It was originally an “early twentieth-century British upper-class slang term” (Randall III 191) and a sophisticated phrase used among students at Oxford in those days.3 Jay Gatsby, however, is neither an alumnus of Oxford nor a member of the upper class. Moreover, the inconsistency of the novel makes “old sport” more difficult to comprehend. In Gatsby, a person from a certain class does not necessarily exhibit behaviors, language, or a manner of speech suited to their class. The man whose “parents were shiftless and unsuccessful farm people” (Gatsby 76; henceforth GG ) in the Middle West does not act in tune with his origin.

Seit seiner Jugend schwärmt Gil von der dortigen Künstlerszene der Zwanzigerjahre. Wenn er nur damals hätte leben können! Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein - das sind die Idole des erfolgreichen Hollywood- Drehbuchautoren, der sich sehnlichst wünscht, als ernst zu nehmender Schriftsteller zu reüssieren. Inez hat kein Verständnis für seine Schwärmerei. Eines Abends bricht Gil alleine auf und verirrt sich bei seinem Streifzug durch die Straßen der Stadt der Liebe. Punkt Mitternacht geschieht etwas Wundersames: Gil wird von einer Limousine aufgelesen, die ihn geradewegs in die Roaring Twenties transportiert, zu all den legendären Künstlern, die er immer schon bewundert hat! Mit einem Mal ist nichts mehr so, wie es vorher war... PRESSENOTIZ So romantisch und hinreißend war Woody Allen schon lange nicht mehr! Allens 42.

Archiving Art The Value of Nostalgia in Hemingway's A Moveable Feast Jared Michael Pence In 1979, Fred Davis published his book Yearning for Yesterday: A Sociology of Nostalgia, in which he prophesied that “it is conceivable that ‘nostalgia’ qua word will in time acquire connotations that extend its meaning to any sort of positive feeling toward anything past, no mat- ter how remote or historical” [emphasis in the original] (8). Davis’s prophesy about feeling nostalgic for what we’ve never experienced seems to have come true, evidenced by the Oxford English Dictionary’s definition of nostalgia as a “sentimental longing for or regretful memory of a period of the past, esp. one in an individual’s own lifetime,” where nostalgia is first and foremost for the vague “period of the past” and is only specific to an individual’s experience in “especial” cases (“nostalgia”).
