    FELIX THE NEWSPAPER OF IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION Friday 16th May 1980 Issue No. 553 President of ICWA shocks AGM A new President was ratified at last Tuesday's ICWA AGM. Sandra O'Sullivan was the only candidate for the post of President and so won the election. However, in a speech to the meeting she said that in her opinion ICWA has failed. Sandra said that she would not get rid of ICWA but would just make it clear to the girls at IC how little ICWA does for them. Sandra said that she would not sit on any committees and this could lead to an attempt by other members of ICWA to remove her from the position. This year's President said, "It's just a bit rediculous but all the rest of the committee are very keen - we will continue anyway. It doesn't matter about the President." " Last years ICU President, Mary Attenborough, joked that she might as well stand for Chairman of the Conservative Society. (Mary is known for her political affilations to political groups other than the Conservatives and if she was elected CONSOC chairman she considered that it would be equally rediculous). Roger Stotesbury commented that Sandra The new ICWA President was the only candidate, who stood in the ICWA elections,who actually bothered to come to the meeting. Sandra O'Sullivan "It just shows that ICWA cannot survive if there is no interest," he said. RCS AGM Last Tuesday's RCS Annual General Meeting managed to elect an Assistant Honorary Secretary, Jane Lavers, and ratified the folio wing posts: Ents Chairman— Dave Thompson; Publicity Officer — Caroline Godin.

  • Recursive Reflections: Types, Modes and Forms of Cinematic Reflexivity (Forthcoming in Metacinema: the Form and Content of Filmic Reference and Reflexivity
    Recursive Reflections: Types, Modes and Forms of Cinematic Reflexivity (forthcoming in Metacinema: The Form and Content of Filmic Reference and Reflexivity. David LaRocca ed., Oxford University Press, 2022) * Selected Pre-Proofed Excerpts Only …reflection on reflexiveness, like the topic itself, can be a labyrinthian experience for both writer and reader Don Fredericksen There is considerable consensus concerning cinematic reflexivity in broad terms. Few, if any, critics and theorists are likely to dispute that The Man with the Movie Camera, Breathless, and Mulholland Drive are highly reflexive films; that the film within the film and breaking the proverbial ‘fourth wall’ are conventional reflexive devices; and that there are substantial differences (whether of kind or degree) between reflexive and non-reflexive films, styles, and their experiences. Beyond such general characterizations, however, one finds a marked diversity of views on the detailed workings of reflexivity as a form of signification, communication, and artistic expression. These include its specific effects on viewers; its historical and stylistic evolution; its relation to cinematic realism and illusionism; and the political and social critical dimensions of reflexivity. Over a number of decades film theorists have addressed these and related issues through the creation of more or less detailed typologies of reflexivity rooted in various, often implicit, ideas and assumptions concerning it. As one would expect, together with reflecting shifting movements in the tectonics of film theory, these schemes have mirrored changes in reflexive practice in cinema and allied forms of moving-image representation. Recognizing, like David Bordwell, that “in any discussion of reflexivity as a theoretical concept, a great many distinctions have to be made” literary and media theorists, narratologists, and semioticians have also provided typologies of reflexivity, self-reference, and “metareference” in works and media.
