Digital Scanners EBOOK WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DIGITAL SCANNERS Presented in partnership with Introduc.on Rapid advancements in digital technology are revoluonizing the way densts treat their paents and run their prac.ces. Most U.S. denCsts have embraced some level of digital technology, such as computerized pracCce management systems and digital radiography. But concerns about cost and complexity have kept many denCsts from adopCng more advanced clinical technology such as digital impression systems. For many U.S. denCsts, the decision has been to wait and see what comes next. If you’re one of those denCsts who’s sCll waiCng, then this EBook will show you how digital impression technology has evolved to meet the needs of today’s pracCcing denCsts in terms of flexibility, power and affordability. In the past few years, advances in processing power, interoperability and other trends have converged to make this once exoCc technology as simple and affordable as the digital tools most denCsts use on a daily basis.

As of November, the market share for Korean films in the domestic market stood at 55 percent, which indicates that the yearly market share of Korean films will be over 50 percent for the third year in a row. In the international arena as well, Korean films were invited to major international film festivals including Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Locarno, and San Sebastian and received a warm reception from critics and audiences. It is often said that the current prosperity of Korean cinema is due to the strong commitment and policies introduced by the KIM Dae-joong government in 1999 to promote Korean films.

  • Filmic Bodies As Terministic (Silver) Screens: Embodied Social Anxieties in Videodrome
    FILMIC BODIES AS TERMINISTIC (SILVER) SCREENS: EMBODIED SOCIAL ANXIETIES IN VIDEODROME BY DANIEL STEVEN BAGWELL A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Communication May 2014 Winston-Salem, North Carolina Approved By: Ron Von Burg, Ph.D., Advisor Mary Dalton, Ph.D., Chair R. Jarrod Atchison, Ph.D. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A number of people have contributed to my incredible time at Wake Forest, which I wouldn’t trade for the world. My non-Deac family and friends are too numerous to mention, but nonetheless have my love and thanks for their consistent support. I send a hearty shout-out, appreciative snap, and Roll Tide to every member of the Wake Debate team; working and laughing with you all has been the most fun of my academic career, and I’m a better person for it. My GTA cohort has been a blast to work with and made every class entertaining. I wouldn’t be at Wake without Dr. Louden, for which I’m eternally grateful. No student could survive without Patty and Kimberly, both of whom I suspect might have superpowers. I couldn’t have picked a better committee. RonVon has been an incredibly helpful and patient advisor, whose copious notes were more than welcome (and necessary); Mary Dalton has endured a fair share of my film rants and is the most fun professor that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing; Jarrod is brilliant and is one of the only people with a knowledge of super-violent films that rivals my own.

  • Mutating Masculinity: Re-Visions of Gender and Violence in the Cinema of David Cronenberg
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2011 Mutating masculinity: re-visions of gender and violence in the cinema of David Cronenberg. Loren, Scott Abstract: Though the films of David Cronenberg might not always be concerned with gender froma social constructivist or performative perspective, I think one readily agrees with Linda Ruth Williams’ claim that “for Cronenberg, anatomy is anything but destiny”3. For decades, his characteristic mutations of gendered bodies have repeatedly accompanied the destabilization of fixed notions about gender. It seems that the most fixed notion of gender to be found in his work is that gender is mutable. Likethe physical boarders to bodies in his films, gender is repeatedly undone, constantly shifting, threatening to become something else. For Cronenberg, a perpetual undoing and rearticulation of gender raises the question of when a man becomes a man in a rather unconventional manner. His films initially encourage us to ask other questions, like: “When does a man become a walking, speaking anus?” (Naked Lunch); “when does a man become an insect?” (The Fly); “when does a man become a machine?” (Videodrome, The Fly, Crash, eXistenZ). Of course one would also have to ask: “When does a man become a woman?” (Crimes of the Future, M. Butterfly) “When is a man completely unable to enter manhood?” (Spider) “When is a man a monster?” and “Is a man ever ‘simply’ a man?” (most of his films). It seems that with the release of each new film, one must rearticulate inquiries into the staging of gender in Cronenberg’s work, which is precisely what I wish to do here.

    THE POLITICS OF HYSTERIA IN DAVID CRONENBERG’S “THE BROOD” Kate Leigh Averett A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Art History in the School of Arts and Sciences Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Carol Magee Cary Levine JJ Bauer © 2017 Kate Leigh Averett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kate Leigh Averett: The Politics of Hysteria in David Cronenberg’s “The Brood” (Under the direction of Carol Magee) This thesis situates David Cronenberg’s 1979 film The Brood within the politics of family during the late 1970s by examining the role of monstrous birth as a form of hysteria. Specifically, I analyze Cronenberg’s monstrous Mother, Nola Carveth, within the role of the family in the 1970s, when the patriarchal, nuclear family is under question in American society. In his essay The American Nightmare: Horror in the 70s critic Robin Wood began a debate surrounding Cronenberg’s early films, namely accusing the director of reactionary misogyny and calling for a political critique of his and other horror director’s work. The debate which followed has sidestepped The Brood, disregarding it as a complication to his oeuvre due to its autobiographical basis. This film, however, offers an opportunity to apply Wood’s call for political criticism to portrayals of hysteria in contemporary visual culture; this thesis takes up this call and fills an important interpretive gap in the scholarship surrounding gender in Cronenberg’s early films. iii This thesis is dedicated to my family for believing in me, supporting me and not traumatizing me too much along the way.

  • What to Look for in a Scanner : Tip Sheet for Digitizing Pictorial Materials in Cultural Institutions Kit A
    What to Look for in a Scanner : Tip Sheet for Digitizing Pictorial Materials in Cultural Institutions Kit A. Peterson, Digital Conversion Specialist, June 2005 Prints & Photographs Division, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540-4730 This tip sheet summarizes the issues most relevant for selecting scanning systems to digitize photographic prints, negatives, and transparencies in collections at cultural institutions. Keep in mind that once digital images are available, many different uses will likely arise. Consider choosing a scanning system that provides the best digital images possible within the limitations of your resources. For example, creation of a rich digital master1 image permits many kinds of reproductions and facilitates preservation of the digital images of your photographs. For more information on digital image characteristics, see Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, “Introduction to Basic Measures of a Digital Image for Pictorial Collections,” http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/cataloging.html. To create digital images that have multiple reproduction uses and can be preserved through time, select a scanning system that can both handle your photographs safely and capture digital images of the photographs at your specifications. Benchmark the capabilities of the scanning system to ensure that it meets your digitization specifications and to create quality control criteria. Use the resulting quality control criteria to regularly test your system so that it continues to produce digital images at the same quality level during its lifetime. The key criteria for selecting your scanner system are the: • type of scanner appropriate for your materials, • technical capabilities of a scanning system, and • budget for scanning equipment and software.

  • SYMPHONIES of HORROR Musical Experimentation in Howard Shore's
    SYMPHONIES OF HORROR Musical Experimentation in Howard Shore’s Work with David Cronenberg A thesis submitted to the Oberlin College & Conservatory Musical Studies Department in fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors by Vikram Shankar Spring 2017 Shankar, Symphonies of Horror 2 Table of Contents: Introduction 3 Methodology 6 Theoretical Frameworks 9 Early Experimentation: The Brood 20 Synthesized Surrealism: Videodrome 30 Breaking Through to the Mainstream: The Fly 40 Scoring the Unfilmable: Naked Lunch 60 Conclusion 77 Works Cited 81 Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror: original score 84 Acknowledgments 86 Shankar, Symphonies of Horror 3 INTRODUCTION With a career spanning almost forty years, Canadian composer Howard Shore has become one of the most respected and sought after film composers working in the industry today. Much of his work, in particular his scores for the Lord of the Rings films, have received much academic attention; his longstanding working relationship with Canadian horror filmmaker David Cronenberg, however, has not yet benefited from such academic inquiry. Using the films The Brood, Videodrome, The Fly, and Naked Lunch as case studies, this thesis examines the way that Shore uses the arena of Cronenberg’s films as a laboratory for personal musical experimentation. Examples include Shore’s use of electronic synthesizer sounds alongside a string orchestra for Videodrome, implementations of canonic techniques and against-the-grain writing for The Fly, and the incorporation of free-jazz aesthetics in Naked Lunch. Using as sources Howard Shore’s words and what academic inquiry exists in this field, but more often utilizing my own analysis and observations of the music and films, I argue that Shore’s scores incorporate such musical experimentation to work in tandem with Cronenberg’s own experimental art.
