For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The bitter taste of payback: the pathologising effect of TV revengendas Abstract The thirst for vengeance is a timeless subject in popular entertainment. One need only think of Old Testament scripture; Shakespeare's Hamlet; Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill or the TV series Revenge, and we immediately conjure up images of a protagonist striving to seek justice to avenge a heinous wrong committed against them. These texts, and others like it, speak to that which is ingrained in our human spirit about not only holding others responsible for their actions, but also about retaliation as payback. This article seeks to problematise the way the popular revenge narrative effectively constructs the vendetta as a guilty pleasure through which the audience can vicariously gain satisfaction, while at the same time perpetuates law's rhetoric that personal desires for vengeance are to be repressed and denied.

  • Star Wars: the Fascism Awakens Representation and Its Failure from the Weimar Republic to the Galactic Senate Chapman Rackaway University of West Georgia
    STAR WARS: THE FASCISM AWAKENS 7 Star Wars: The Fascism Awakens Representation and its Failure from the Weimar Republic to the Galactic Senate Chapman Rackaway University of West Georgia Whether in science fiction or the establishment of an earthly democracy, constitutional design matters especially in the realm of representation. Democracies, no matter how strong or fragile, can fail under the influence of a poorly constructed representation plan. Two strong examples of representational failure emerge from the post-WWI Weimar Republic and the Galactic Republic’s Senate from the Star Wars saga. Both legislatures featured a combination of overbroad representation without minimum thresholds for minor parties to be elected to the legislature and multiple non- citizen constituencies represented in the body. As a result both the Weimar Reichstag and the Galactic Senate fell prey to a power-hungry manipulating zealot who used the divisions within their legislature to accumulate power. As a result, both democracies failed and became tyrannical governments under despotic leaders who eventually would be removed but only after wars of massive casualties. Representation matters, and both the Weimer legislature and Galactic Senate show the problems in designing democratic governments to fairly represent diverse populations while simultaneously limiting the ability of fringe groups to emerge. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of representative democracies. A poor evil is for good men to do nothing.” constitutional design can even lead to tyranny. – Edmund Burke (1848) Among the flaws most potentially damaging to a republic is a faulty representational “So this is how liberty dies … with structure. Republics can actually build too thunderous applause.” - Padme Amidala (Star much representation into their structures, the Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, 2005) result of which is tyranny as a byproduct of democratic failure.

    The Cornell International Affairs Society Proudly Presents CIAC VIII Cornell International Affairs Conference VIII JCC Star Wars: The Republic Background Guide November 2nd - 5th Cornell University, Ithaca, NY Letter from the Chair Dear Delegates of the Galactic Republic, Throughout the history of our fair republic, it is in times of great crisis that even greater heroes arise. Now, that responsibility falls on all of you, as the very fabric of our society is torn by an insidious darkness. However, in a galaxy far far away... It is my pleasure to welcome you all to Cornell International Affairs Conference (CIAC) 2017. My name is Jenniston Francis and I am very excited to serve as your chair for the simulation of the Star Wars JCC. I am currently a junior at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where I am majoring in finance in the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management. My involvement with Model UN began much like your own: I was a delegate throughout high school, where I learned a lot from the debate and simulation in Model UN. This simulation will run as a joint crisis committee, with a particular focus on creating policies and responses that directly respond to both the actions of our rival committee and of the universe at large. These crisis committees offer a heightened delegate experience, revolving around fast-paced and dynamic debate. In order to be fully be prepared for this committee, please be prepared with exhaustive research, an open mind, and intellectual interest in debating and resolving the pressing issues you will be faced with.

    SERVICE AND OPERATION MANUAL WARNING IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNING: PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES - A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, in- cluding flashing lights or patterns. Even people with no history of seizures of epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures” due to certain visual images, flashing lights or patterns. Symptoms can include lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, and loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. IMMEDIATELY STOP PLAYING AND CONSULT A DOCTOR IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS. Stern Pinball machines are assembled in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA. Stern Pinball has inspected each game element to ensure it meets our quality standards. Each pinball machine has unique characteristics that make it a one-of-a-kind American made product. Each will have variations in appearance resulting from differences in the machine’s particular wood parts, individual printed art and mechanical assemblies. No playfield is perfectly flat and varies depending on the season. Game play will result in playfield dimpling as the harder steel ball contacts the wood and coating; over time multiple dimples will blend to make them less noticeable. Normal plastic insert crazing (tiny stress cracks) and ghosting (small cloudy areas around insert edges) are often seen in pinball machines, due to a combination of plastic mold stress, pushing of inserts into purposely undersized holes, and heating and breaking of inserts’ plastic “skin” when the playfield field is sanded.

  • Kurosawa's Hamlet?
    Kurosawa’s Hamlet? KAORI ASHIZU In recent years it has suddenly been taken for granted that The Bad Sleep Well (Warui Yatsu Hodo Yoku Nemuru, 1960) should be includ- ed with Kumonosujô and Ran as one of the films which Akira Kuro- sawa, as Robert Hapgood puts it, “based on Shakespeare” (234). However, although several critics have now discussed parallels, echoes and inversions of Hamlet, none has offered any sufficiently coherent, detailed account of the film in its own terms, and the exist- ing accounts contain serious errors and inconsistencies. My own in- tention is not to quarrel with critics to whom I am in other ways in- debted, but to direct attention to a curious and critically alarming situation. I For example, we cannot profitably compare this film with Hamlet, or compare Nishi—Kurosawa’s “Hamlet,” superbly played by Toshirô Mifune—with Shakespeare’s prince, unless we understand Nishi’s attitude to his revenge in two crucial scenes. Yet here even Donald Richie is confused and contradictory. Richie first observes of the earlier scene that Nishi’s love for his wife makes him abandon his revenge: “she, too, is responsible since Mifune, in love, finally de- cides to give up revenge for her sake, and in token of this, brings her a [ 71 ] 72 KAORI ASHIZU bouquet . .” (142).1 Three pages later, he comments on the same scene that Nishi gives up his plan to kill those responsible for his father’s death, but determines to send them to jail instead: The same things may happen (Mori exposed, the triumph of jus- tice) but the manner, the how will be different.
