  • Die Hard and the Comfort of Crisis [A Discussion with Slavoj Zizek]
    Die Hard and the comfort of crisis [a discussion with Slavoj Zizek] [The interviewer sits, playing with his tape recorder. Zizek enters. They shake hands, and Zizek sits. He drinks from the glass of water already prepared for him.] Mr. Zizek, I’d like to jump straight in, if you don’t mind. Certainly. I actually have a plane to catch later, and I always like to be there at least four hours ahead of the flight. An irritating habit of mine, I’m afraid. Not that strange though. I can’t fly at all. [The interviewer laughs. Zizek doesn’t.] An extreme…interesting. The flying? Yes, your fear of it. Not that you’re alone, but there is, I believe, a construction of weakness within the anxiety of an extreme, or someone who has withdrawn into such an anxiety. [The interviewer puts his right leg on his left knee. Zizek takes a sip of his water.] Well, like you said, it’s not an unusual state… Yes, I agree. But there is still a position of weakness involved, an almost pathetic self abuse or unravelling. I think…I’d say pathetic might be a little strong… Not in the philosophical sense. Still, I’m not sure about the terminology of ‘self abuse’…Jung, I think, said that it wasn’t so much the conscious self that was responsible, but more like a trigger that… Oh yes, the mind is a terrible master, that old debate. I believe I stand with Popper on that one, I’m afraid. There is control, or can be control.

  • Die Hard – Synopsis John Mcclane, a Wisecracking New York City Cop
    Die Hard – Synopsis John McClane, a wisecracking New York City cop, comes to LA for Christmas. His wife, Holly, has recently taken an executive job there; she took the kids with her, too. McClane begrudges Holly packing up like that, but he loves her and hopes to work things out. Wandering through the company holiday party in the sleek new high-rise, Nakatomi Plaza, McClane feels out of place and things aren’t going that well with Holly either. It gets a lot worse when a band of European terrorists invade the building. Led by the suave and brilliant Hans Gruber, they’re seriously armed and organized. They lock down the building, seize control of the computer system, cut off all outside communication. The terrorists gather the only people left in the building, those attending the party, and keep them docile with their automatic weapons. Gruber is in total control. Except over McClane. Who has slipped into a stairwell unseen. Gruber escorts the head of the company, Mr. Takagi, into an office and demands a computer code that will unlock a vault containing 640 million dollars worth of bonds. Takagi refuses. Gruber blows his head off. Nearby in hiding, McClane watches. He realizes Gruber is fully capable of killing the hostages—including his wife. Armed with only his wits, McClane is the only one with a shot at saving the day. Hans has his tech specialist set about breaking the computer code, a complex routine that requires going through seven computerized locks. McClane tries to alert authorities by tripping a fire alarm, but the ruse fails, only signaling to Hans that there’s a rogue loose in the building.

  • Die Hard: a Case Study of Masculine Romance
    Tretter 1 Liz Tretter Dr. Jones ENG 452 16 September 2019 Die Hard: A Case Study of Masculine Romance Works of the Romance genre have long been regarded as “chick flicks” or “chick lit.” According to an article published in the Frontiers in Psychology journal, both men and women stereotype entire genres of literature and film, leaving very few on a neutral ground (Wühr). Of these stereotypes, the study revealed romances were gendered as feminine, while action or adventure films were regarded as being more masculine (Wühr). However, the feminization of an entire literary genre along with its structures and tropes has left modern scholars questioning these long-standing stereotypes. Since empirical research has confirmed to some degree that women prefer romances and men prefer action/adventure films, there is a possibility that the two are connected in some way (Wühr). To explore this idea, it is necessary to apply some form of a Romantic ‘yardstick’ to a traditional masculine action/adventure film. Die Hard, a film directed by John McTiernan, provides the ideal test subject for this case study due to its credit for “reinventing the action genre” (Klimek). By applying Northrop Frye’s six phases of Romance outlined in his Anatomy of Criticism to the action/adventure film Die Hard, the connections reveal a gender disparity regarding the femininization of the Romantic genre. While Die Hard is known as an action/adventure film, the core elements of the film’s genre are closely intertwined with those of a Romance. According to Frye, adventure is an “essential element of [Romantic] plot,” which naturally takes on a “processional form” (Frye Tretter 2 186).

It is who we are. It’s the fact that we’re the most powerful country in the world. It’s the fact that we’re a secular country. […] It is simply who we are and it is our existence that really bothers them.”2 This vision of terrorism against American interests is shared by many, and has become somehow the official position on terrorism. That same year, President William Clinton sta- ted: “Americans are targets of terrorism, in part, because we act to advance peace and democracy and because we stand united against terrorism.”3 And for Thomas Friedman, the famous columnist of the New York Times, terrorists “have no specific ideological program or demands. Rather, they are driven by a generalized hatred of the U.S., Israel and other supposed enemies of Is- lam.”4 A former correspondent in the Middle East, Friedman’s opinion about terrorism was valued by many, even before he would become famous for his role in the divulgence of the Peace Proposal by Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Abdullah bin Abdel-Aziz.

  • The Otaku Lifestyle: Examining Soundtracks in the Anime Canon
    THE OTAKU LIFESTYLE: EXAMINING SOUNDTRACKS IN THE ANIME CANON A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC by MICHELLE JURKIEWICZ B.M., University of Central Missouri, 2014 Kansas City, Missouri 2019 © 2019 MICHELLE JURKIEWICZ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE OTAKU LIFESTYLE: EXAMINING SOUNDTRACKS IN THE ANIME CANON Michelle Jurkiewicz, Candidate for the Master of Music Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2019 ABSTRACT Japanese animation, or anime, has been popular around the globe for the last sixty years. Anime has its own fan culture in the United States known as otaku, or the obsessive lifestyle surrounding manga and anime, which has resulted in American production companies creating their own “anime.” Japanese filmmakers do not regard anime simply as a cartoon, but instead realize it as genre of film, such as action or comedy. However, Japanese anime is not only dynamic and influential because of its storylines, characters, and themes, but also for its purposeful choices in music. Since the first anime Astro Boy and through films such as Akira, Japanese animation companies combine their history from the past century with modern or “westernized” music. Unlike cartoon films produced by Disney or Pixar, Japanese anime do not use music to mimic the actions on-screen; instead, music heightens and deepens the plot and emotions. This concept is practiced in live-action feature films, and although anime consists of hand-drawn and computer-generated cartoons, Japanese directors and animators create a “film” experience with their dramatic choice of music.
