UNIVERSITY OF OREGON • 2020 UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM Research as a Beacon During a Pandemic May 14, 2020 The Undergraduate Research Symposium debuted in 2011 with 69 presenters and 40 faculty mentors spanning 20 majors and four colleges, and reached a high-water mark in size and breadth its ninth year with 513 presenters and 290 faculty mentors spanning 75 majors, 21 minor programs, 33 minors, and eight colleges. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic we have shifted to a virtual symposium for the 10th anniversary and are honored to still host 380 presenters and 213 faculty mentors from across all eight colleges, 69 majors, 19 minor programs, 30 minors, and 20 institutes and centers. Over the past 10 years the symposium has hosted nearly 2,500 student presenters. We believe that hosting a virtual symposium, rather than cancelling the 10th annual event, was an important action for our institution to take to demonstrate that as a research university we remain committed to supporting our undergraduate students’ research and creative work. The event will allow students to continue developing their presentation skills and academic portfolios for scholarships, graduate school, and career paths—especially during a time when traveling to present in-person at regional and national conferences is not possible. Participating students range from first-year students in Academic Residential Communities, First-Year Interest Groups, and Runways sharing their group research projects to senior theses, studios, portfolios, and capstones. The virtual platform also creates new opportunities for expanding the reach of the symposium and we have fostered new collaborations with constituencies that have traditionally been unable to participate. For example, the Summer Academy to Inspire Learning (SAIL) has partnered with the symposium and the Office of Admissions to create an interactive digital workbook for local high school students and teachers, as well as those throughout the state 1 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON • 2020 UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM of Oregon and beyond, to integrate into their online curriculum. Invitations to engage in the live-streamed and recorded presentations on the symposium YouTube channel have also been shared with prospective and incoming students, current students’ parents and families, alumni, and donors. We are also honored to continue growing our partnerships with Lane Community College and McNair Scholars Programs throughout the Pacific Northwest. We welcome visitors from far and near and hope that this showcase of undergraduate research and creative work—which will endure as a permanent online exhibit—can inspire hope, curiosity, innovation, and discovery during these uncertain times. Congratulations to all the student participants and faculty mentors who have made this event happen! Best wishes from your fans and supporters in Undergraduate Education and Student Success!

ABSTRACT Science and technology have been paramount features of any modernized nation. In Japan they played an important role in the modernization and militarization of the nation, as well as its democratization and subsequent economic growth. Science and technology highlight the promises of a better tomorrow and future utopia, but their application can also present ethical issues. In fiction, they have historically played a significant role. Fictions of science continue to exert power via important multimedia platforms for considerations of the role of science and technology in our world. And, because of their importance for the development, ideologies and policies of any nation, these considerations can be correlated with the deliberation of the role of a nation in the world, including its internal and external images and imaginings.

  • Gender and the Family in Contemporary Chinese-Language Film Remakes
    Gender and the family in contemporary Chinese-language film remakes Sarah Woodland BBusMan., BA (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Languages and Cultures 1 Abstract This thesis argues that cinematic remakes in the Chinese cultural context are a far more complex phenomenon than adaptive translation between disparate cultures. While early work conducted on French cinema and recent work on Chinese-language remakes by scholars including Li, Chan and Wang focused primarily on issues of intercultural difference, this thesis looks not only at remaking across cultures, but also at intracultural remakes. In doing so, it moves beyond questions of cultural politics, taking full advantage of the unique opportunity provided by remakes to compare and contrast two versions of the same narrative, and investigates more broadly at the many reasons why changes between a source film and remake might occur. Using gender as a lens through which these changes can be observed, this thesis conducts a comparative analysis of two pairs of intercultural and two pairs of intracultural films, each chapter highlighting a different dimension of remakes, and illustrating how changes in gender representations can be reflective not just of differences in attitudes towards gender across cultures, but also of broader concerns relating to culture, genre, auteurism, politics and temporality. The thesis endeavours to investigate the complexities of remaking processes in a Chinese-language cinematic context, with a view to exploring the ways in which remakes might reflect different perspectives on Chinese society more broadly, through their ability to compel the viewer to reflect not only on the past, by virtue of the relationship with a source text, but also on the present, through the way in which the remake reshapes this text to address its audience.

Wilson 2015 iii UNSEEN FEMININITY: WOMEN IN JAPANESE NEW WAVE CINEMA Candice N. Wilson, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2015 During the mid-1950s to the early 1970s a subversive cinema, known as the Japanese New Wave, arose in Japan. This dissertation challenges critical trends that use French New Wave cinema and the oeuvre of Oshima Nagisa as templates to construct Japanese New Wave cinema as largely male-centered and avant-garde in its formal aesthetics. I argue instead for the centrality of the erotic woman to a questioning of national and postwar identity in Japan, and for the importance of popular cinema to an understanding of this New Wave movement. In short, this study aims to break new ground in Japanese New Wave scholarship by focusing on issues of gender and popular aesthetics.

    Women and Yaoi Fan Creative Work เพศหญิงและงานสร้างสรรค์แนวยาโอย Proud Arunrangsiwed1 พราว อรุณรังสีเวช Nititorn Ounpipat2 นิติธร อุ้นพิพัฒน์ Krisana Cheachainart3 Article History กฤษณะ เชื้อชัยนาท Received: May 12, 2018 Revised: November 26, 2018 Accepted: November 27, 2018 Abstract Slash and Yaoi are types of creative works with homosexual relationship between male characters. Most of their audiences are female. Using textual analysis, this paper aims to identify the reasons that these female media consumers and female fan creators are attracted to Slash and Yaoi. The first author, as a prior Slash fan creator, also provides part of experiences to describe the themes found in existing fan studies. Five themes, both to confirm and to describe this phenomenon are (1) pleasure of same-sex relationship exposure, (2) homosexual marketing, (3) the erotic fantasy, (4) gender discrimination in primacy text, and (5) the need of equality in romantic relationship. This could be concluded that these female fans temporarily identify with a male character to have erotic interaction with another male one in Slash narrative. A reason that female fans need to imagine themselves as a male character, not a female one, is that lack of mainstream media consists of female characters with a leading role, besides the romance genre. However, the need of gender equality, as the reason of female fans who consume Slash text, might be the belief of fan scholars that could be applied in only some contexts.

    GENDER, IDENTITY AND INFLUENCE: HONG KONG MARTIAL ARTS FILMS Gilbert Gerard Castillo, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2002 Approved: Donald E. Staples, Major Professor Harry Benshoff, Committee Member Harold Tanner, Committee Member Ben Levin, Graduate Coordinator of the Department of Radio, TV and Film Alan B. Albarran, Chair of the Department of Radio, TV and Film C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Castillo, Gilbert Gerard, Gender, Identity, and Influence: Hong Kong Martial Arts Films. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), December 2002, 78 pp., references, 64 titles. This project is an examination of the Hong Kong film industry, focusing on the years leading up to the handover of Hong Kong to communist China. The influence of classical Chinese culture on gender representation in martial arts films is examined in order to formulate an understanding of how these films use gender issues to negotiate a sense of cultural identity in the face of unprecedented political change. In particular, the films of Hong Kong action stars Michelle Yeoh and Brigitte Lin are studied within a feminist and cultural studies framework for indications of identity formation through the highlighting of gender issues. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to thank the members of my committee all of whom gave me valuable suggestions and insights. I would also like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Staples who never failed to give me encouragement and always made me feel like a valuable member of our academic community.

Hall Associate Professor of Film and Video *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT The overbearing effects of Hollywood continue to blur the lines of distinction between national and global cinema, leaving scholars to wonder whether the latter type of cinema has since trumped the former. This thesis explores the depths of this perplexity by looking at the cultural differences in post-1990s horror films from three countries: the United States, Japan, and Italy. Scholarship on women in horror films continues to focus on the feminist sensitivities, without the slightest regard for possible cultural specificities, within the horror genre. This, in turn, often collapses the study of women in horror films into a transnational genre, thereby contributing to the perception of a dominant global cinema. Therefore, it is the aim of the author to look at three culturally-specific subgenres of the horror film to explore their differences and similarities.

Without your help this accomplishment would not have been possible. To my brother, thank you for everything you did that allowed me to be able to accomplish this thesis. Without your help, I could never have made it. While these past two years were difficult, you brother made it easier, and that is something that will always be very special to me. I would also like to thank the rest of my family for your support throughout this process. 2 Abstract The yearly top-grossing films from 2000 to 2009 were analyzed to see if correlation exists between overt religious content and box office success. Also, the films were analyzed to see if correlation exists between overt religious content and IMDb.com user ratings. Neither box office success nor IMDb.com user ratings were found to be correlated with over religious content. 3 Table of Contents Acknowledgments…………………………………………………………………………1 Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………2 Chapter 1: Introduction……………………………………………………………………4 Chapter 2: Literature Review……………………………………………………………...7 Chapter 3: Methodology …………………………………………………………………20 Chapter 4: Study………………………………………………………………………….25 Chapter 5: Discussion……………………………………………………………………49 Bibliography.……………………………………………………………………………..53 4 Holy Horror: A Quantitative Analysis of the Use of Religion in the Yearly Top Grossing Horror Films From 2000 to 2009 Introduction The popularity of the horror genre has risen significantly over the past few decades, but opinions on what makes these films so popular is widely varied.

'Torture porn' appears to refer to a coherent cate~~ory formed by films that exhibit mutual conventions and values. By providing a point of similarity, the label brushes over numerous discrepancies. At the most basic level, torture porn films have been conceived as a root commonality: torture porn is a sub-category of the horror Yet, by distinguishing this subgenre as a unique grouping, the label fosters the sense that torture porn is different to other horror subgenres.
