  • Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory
    DANGEROUSLY FREE: OUTLAWS AND NATION-MAKING IN LITERATURE OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY by Jenna Hunnef A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Jenna Hunnef 2016 Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory Jenna Hunnef Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2016 Abstract In this dissertation, I examine how literary representations of outlaws and outlawry have contributed to the shaping of national identity in the United States. I analyze a series of texts set in the former Indian Territory (now part of the state of Oklahoma) for traces of what I call “outlaw rhetorics,” that is, the political expression in literature of marginalized realities and competing visions of nationhood. Outlaw rhetorics elicit new ways to think the nation differently—to imagine the nation otherwise; as such, I demonstrate that outlaw narratives are as capable of challenging the nation’s claims to territorial or imaginative title as they are of asserting them. Borrowing from Abenaki scholar Lisa Brooks’s definition of “nation” as “the multifaceted, lived experience of families who gather in particular places,” this dissertation draws an analogous relationship between outlaws and domestic spaces wherein they are both considered simultaneously exempt from and constitutive of civic life. In the same way that the outlaw’s alternately celebrated and marginal status endows him or her with the power to support and eschew the stories a nation tells about itself, so the liminality and centrality of domestic life have proven effective as a means of consolidating and dissenting from the status quo of the nation-state.

  • Perceptual Realism and Embodied Experience in the Travelogue Genre
    Athens Journal of Mass Media and Communications- Volume 3, Issue 3 – Pages 229-258 Perceptual Realism and Embodied Experience in the Travelogue Genre By Perla Carrillo Quiroga This paper draws two lines of analysis. On the one hand it discusses the history of the This paper draws two lines of analysis. On the one hand it discusses the history of the travelogue genre while drawing a parallel with a Bazanian teleology of cinematic realism. On the other, it incorporates phenomenological approaches with neuroscience’s discovery of mirror neurons and an embodied simulation mechanism in order to reflect upon the techniques and cinematic styles of the travelogue genre. In this article I discuss the travelogue film genre through a phenomenological approach to film studies. First I trace the history of the travelogue film by distinguishing three main categories, each one ascribed to a particular form of realism. The hyper-realistic travelogue, which is related to a perceptual form of realism; the first person travelogue, associated with realism as authenticity; and the travelogue as a traditional documentary which is related to a factual form of realism. I then discuss how these categories relate to Andre Bazin’s ideas on realism through notions such as montage, duration, the long take and his "myth of total cinema". I discuss the concept of perceptual realism as a key style in the travelogue genre evident in the use of extra-filmic technologies which have attempted to bring the spectator’s body closer into an immersion into filmic space by simulating the physical and sensorial experience of travelling.

  • DOCUMENTARY FILMS Page 1 of 10
    DOCUMENTARY FILMS Page 1 of 10 DOCUMENTARY FILMS Documentary Films, strictly speaking, are non-fictional, "slice of life" factual works of art - and sometimes known as cinema verite. For many years, as films became more narrative- based, documentaries branched out and took many forms since their early beginnings - some of which have been termed propagandistic or non-objective. Documentary films have comprised a very broad and diverse category of films. Examples of documentary forms include the following: z 'biographical' films about a living or dead person (Madonna, John Lennon, Muhammad Ali - When We Were Kings (1996), Robert Crumb, Stephen Hawking in A Brief History of Time (1992), or Glenn Gould) z a well-known event (Waco, Texas incident, the Holocaust, the Shackleton expedition to the Antarctic) z a concert or rock festival (Woodstock or Altamont rock concerts, Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991), Stop Making Sense (1984)) z a comedy show (Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy shows) z a live performance (Cuban musicians as in Buena Vista Social Club (1998), or the stage show Cirque du Soleil-Journey of Man (2000)) z a sociological or ethnographic examination following the lives of individuals over a period of time (e.g., Michael Apted's series of films: 28 Up (1984), 35 Up (1992) and 42 Up (1999), or Steve James' Hoop Dreams (1994)) z an expose including interviews (e.g., Michael Moore's social concerns films) z a sports documentary (extreme sports, such as Extreme (1999) or To the Limit (1989), or surfing, such as in The Endless Summer (1966))

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Alessandro Constantino Gamo São Carlos-SP 2020 Dedicado aos arquitetos desse fascinante universo que é o gênero terror. Que sua inesgotável imaginação e ousadia estejam sempre grudadas em mim, como o sangue de porco na doce Carrie. AGRADECIMENTOS Nem mesmo as cento e tantas páginas desta dissertação seriam suficientes para expressar minha gratidão às mulheres que, todos os dias, fazem de mim o que eu sou. Elas permanecem zelando para que eu alcance os meus sonhos, e, mais importante ainda, para que eu nunca deixe de sonhar. Minha mãe, Dirce, minhas irmãs, Márcia e Marta, e minha sobrinha, Júlia, amo vocês com todas as minhas forças! Ao meu falecido pai, Benedito: sei que sua energia ainda está conosco. Agradeço também aos meus colegas de mestrado. Tão precioso quanto o conhecimento adquirido nessa jornada é o fato de tê-la compartilhado com vocês. Desejo-lhes um futuro sempre mais e mais brilhante. Aos amigos de tantos anos, obrigado por me incentivarem a abraçar mais essa etapa e por estarem presentes também nos momentos de esfriar a cabeça e jogar conversa fora: Jefferson Galetti e Vanessa Bretas, Dú Marques, Vitão Godoy, Led Bacciotti e Giovana Bueno, Nico Stolzel e Paulinha Gomes, Miller Guglielmo, e a galera da república Alcatraz em São Carlos.

  • The Emergence of Digital Documentary Filmmaking in the United States
    Academic Forum 30 2012-13 Conclusion These studies are the second installment of a series which I hope to continue. Baseball is unique among sports in the way that statistics play such a central role in the game and the fans' enjoyment thereof. The importance of baseball statistics is evidenced by the existence of the Society for American Baseball Research, a scholarly society dedicated to studying baseball. References and Acknowledgements This work is made much easier by Lee Sinins' Complete Baseball Encyclopedia, a wonderful software package, and www.baseball-reference.com. It would have been impossible without the wonderful web sites www.retrosheet.org and www.sabr.org which give daily results and information for most major league games since the beginning of major league baseball. Biography Fred Worth received his B.S. in Mathematics from Evangel College in Springfield, Missouri in 1982.

The Emergence of Digital Documentary Filmmaking in the United States Paul Glover, M.F.A. Associate Professor of Communication Abstract This essay discusses documentary filmmaking in the United States and Great Britain throughout the 20 th century and into the 21 st century. Technological advancements have consistently improved filmmaking techniques, but they have also degraded the craft as the saturation of filmmakers influence quality control and the preservation of “cinema verite” or “truth in film.” This essay’s intention is not to decide which documentaries are truthful and good (there are too many to research) but rather discuss certain documentarians and the techniques they used in their storytelling methods.
