  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

However, there are different problems that can potentially arise from teaching this play. For example, the only type of romance explored in the text is forbidden young love that ends in suicide. This should not be the type of romance that young students can relate to as it is not a healthy model to follow. In a report in the Digital Journal Mullins said, “There are times when young lovers who face problems from the outside turn to suicide.

  • Animation Guide
    Animation Guide Summer 2017 Preface & Acknowledgements This text represents the work of a group of 28 teachers enrolled in a Media Studies course at the University of British Columbia in the summer of 2017, instructed by Dr. Rachel Ralph. The challenge for the group was to write a Media Studies text that appealed to students in a range from grades 8-12 in the school system, providing teachers with an interesting, diverse, and rich resource for use in the classroom. The individual sections can be adopted and integrated into any number of subjects or adopted as a textbook for New Media Studies in the schools. Many of the Media Study Guides span provincial curricula, exploring commonalities and differences. We acknowledge the support of family and friends and the various cultural agents and artists whose illustrations or texts were incorporated into the sections of the book. We acknowledge the work of students who contributed towards publishing this textbook. We hope you are as inspired with the insights within each section, as we were producing these, and we encourage you to continue learning about media, culture, and technology.

  • Views of the Sanctity of International 5 Sovereignty Or the Right of States to Act Unilaterally, Become Known As the Assertive Multilateralists
    WARS WITHOUT RISK: U.S.HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTIONS OF THE 1990S R Laurent Cousineau 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 August 2010 Committee: Dr. Gary Hess, Advisor Dr. Neal Jesse Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Robert Buffington Dr. Stephen Ortiz ii ABSTRACT Dr. Gary Hess, Advisor Wars Without Risk is an analysis of U.S. foreign policy under George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton involving forced humanitarian military operations in Somalia and Haiti in the 1990s. The dissertation examines American post-Cold war foreign policy and the abrupt shift to involve U.S. armed forces in United Nations peacekeeping and peace enforcement operations to conduct limited humanitarian and nation-building projects. The focus of the study is on policy formulation and execution in two case studies of Somalia and Haiti. Wars Without Risk examines the fundamental flaws in the attempt to embrace assertive multilateralism (a neo-Wilsonian Progressive attempt to create world peace and stability through international force, collective security, international aid, and democratization) and to overextend the traditional democratization mandates of American foreign policy which inevitably led to failure, fraud, and waste. U.S. military might was haphazardly injected in ill-defined UN operations to save nations from themselves and to spread or “save” democracy in nations that were not strongly rooted in Western enlightenment foundations. Missions in Somalia and Haiti were launched as “feel good” humanitarian operations designed as attempts to rescue “failed states” but these emotionally- based operations had no chance of success in realistic terms because the root causes of poverty and conflict in targeted nations were too great to address through half-hearted international paternalism.

  • Act 1 Two Households, Both Alike in Dignity. Along the Fair
    Act 1 Two households, both alike in dignity. Along the fair Saskatchewan Prairies, we lay our scene. It’s not as flat as they say, you just have to go north. But it’s in the flat south where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the horny woes of adolescence, a pair of star-crossed lovers offer up their lives. Amongst pleas, the adults have heard enough. With his death, Romeo hopes to bury the strife. A fearful passage of death-marked love and the continuance of rage – which but marked their children’s end, naught could remove. What here was missed, my toil shall strive to mend it in the impending passages. “Clean your room, Romeo!” Mother Teresa yells out. “Give me an hour…” Tiny Romeo mumbles. “Now!” Montague yells in a typical rage at Romeo’s lack of listening capabilities. I listened fine! I could hear my own heartbeat and thoughts after all… It wasn’t that Romeo didn’t listen; Romeo just listened when it made sense to listen. Midway through a video game level was not the ideal time to go and clean one’s bedroom. “Eat your supper!” Mother Teresa yells out. “But it’s gross…” Romeo says. A battle held in contention with the family over many years. Green beans were the worst. Which was weird because I liked them as a baby. But where could one put such foul offerings? I tried the top of the garbage, even the bottom. I put them in my pocket, but they ended up in washing machine.
