My argument is that the sense of displacement and preoccupation with "other" worlds which characterise these novels reflect a national tradition which positions Australian life at the "edge" of a culturally and politically dominant "centre." Such a perspective is not so much geographical as discursive; Australia was first defined, after all, through a European discourse which assumed its own centrality.

  • Propaganda Kapitalizma in Komunizma V Ameriški in Sovjetski Kinematografiji
    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Klavdija Tratnik Propaganda kapitalizma in komunizma v ameriški in sovjetski kinematografiji Magistrsko delo Ljubljana, 2016 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Klavdija Tratnik Mentor: izr. prof. dr. Gregor Tomc Propaganda kapitalizma in komunizma v ameriški in sovjetski kinematografiji Magistrsko delo Ljubljana, 2016 Zahvala Zahvaljujem se mentorju izr. prof. dr. Gregorju Tomcu za pomoč in nasvete pri pisanju dela in red. prof. dr. Bogomilu Ferfili za potrpežljivost in podporo. Zlasti pa hvala družini, predvsem sinu Sebastianu, za vso pomoč in spodbudo v preteklih letih. Propaganda kapitalizma in komunizma v ameriški in sovjetski kinematografiji Magistrska naloga se loteva problema prikazovanja ideoloških programov dveh največjih političnih velesil 20. stoletja. Tako Združene države Amerike (ZDA) kot Zveza sovjetskih socialističnih republik (ZSSR) so oblikovale državno podprte propagandne aparate, ki so proizvajali integracijsko in agitacijsko filmsko gradivo za legitimacijo svojih političnih interesov. Filmska industrija obeh federacij je bila od samega začetka razvoja filmskega medija zaradi pogojev produkcijske infrastrukture neposredno ali posredno odvisna od vladnih organizacij. V delu podajamo primerjalno analizo razvoja obeh političnih sistemov z vidika njunih kinematografskih dejavnosti, da bi osvetlili delovanje mehanizmov za reprodukcijo političnih ideologij v dobi množičnih medijev. Filmski medij je bil eno izmed osrednjih prizorišč glavnega političnega konflikta prejšnjega stoletja, na katerem so se prikazovali interesi ene in druge velesile. V liberalnem političnem okviru ameriškega prostega trga so tendenciozne filmske vsebine določale organizacije, kot so CIA, FBI, OWI, MPAA, HUAC in USIS, medtem ko je centralizirano sovjetsko gospodarstvo dajalo direktive prek državnih aparatov, kot so GOSPLAN, VSNKh, NARKOMPROS, SOIUSZKINO, in društev, kot sta VOKS ali SSOD.

Signature……………………………………………………… 3 UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX HSIANG-MEI WU DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ENGLISH LITERATURE CHAUCER AND PREJUDICES: A CRITICAL STUDY OF THE CANTERBURY TALES SUMMARY This thesis investigates the prejudices in Geoffrey Chaucer‘s The Canterbury Tales. There are thirty pilgrims and twenty-two tales in this grand work. As it is unlikely to discuss all of them in one thesis, I focus my research on four pilgrims—the Miller, the Prioress, the Wife of Bath, and the Pardoner—to demonstrate Chaucer‘s prejudices in various aspects. The chapter on the Miller analyzes how men and women interact in sexual terms in the public domains and private spaces, investigating the poet‘s sexual discrimination in his final distribution of punishments for the characters as well as his chauvinistic disregard of the female body and its autonomy; Chaucer‘s punishment is not entirely of ‗poetic justice‘ as it is dispensed at the cost of class victimization and the vilification of the female body.

  • Lon Chaney (1Er Avril 1883 – 26 Août 1930), Surnommé « L'homme Aux
    Lon Chaney (1er avril 1883 – 26 août 1930), surnommé « l’homme aux mille visages », est un acteur de cinéma américain du temps du muet. Il fut l’un des acteurs les plus polyvalents et les plus impressionnants de l’aube du cinéma. On se souvient de lui surtout pour ses compositions de personnages torturés, souvent grotesques et affectés, ainsi que pour son talent novateur en ce qui concerne le maquillage de cinéma. Lon Chaney naquit Leonidas Frank Chaney à Colorado Springs (Colorado), le fils de Frank H. Chaney et d’Emma Alice Kennedy, son père avait du sang français mais surtout anglais, tandis que sa mère avait des origines irlandaises. Les parents de Chaney étaient sourds tous les deux et, dès l’enfance, Chaney montra quelque talent pour la pantomime. Il commença à monter sur les planches en 1902 et tourna avec des troupes de vaudeville et de théâtre. En 1905, il fit la connaissance de la chanteuse Cleva Creighton et l’épousa alors qu’elle n’avait que seize ans. L’année suivante naquit celui qui restera leur unique enfant, Creighton Chaney, qui fut mieux connu bien plus tard sous le nom de Lon Chaney, Jr.. La famille Chaney poursuivit les tournées, avant de se fixer en Californie en 1910. Malheureusement, leur mariage commença à battre de l’aile et, en avril 1913, Cleva se rendit au Majestic Theatre, situé au centre de Los Angeles, où Lon travaillait à un spectacle, le Kolb and Dill show et, là, elle tenta de mettre fin à ses jours en avalant du bichlorure de mercure.
