    Anna Ball 1 ‘Looking the Beast in the Eye’: Screening Trauma in Waltz With Bashir and Lebanon Published in The Ethics of Representation in Literature, Art and Journalism: Transnational Responses to the Siege of Beirut, ed. Caroline Rooney and Rita Sakr (London: Routledge, 2013), pp.71-85. PRE-PRINT PROOF: PLEASE REFER TO PRINTED VERSION FOR CITATION Anna Ball, [email protected] Having looked the beast of the past in the eye, having asked and received forgiveness and made amends, let us shut the door on the past – not in order to forget it but in order not to allow it to imprison us. - Archbishop Desmond Tutu, South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report.i [Figure 1: Image from Waltz With Bashir, dir. Ari Folman (London: Artificial Eye, 2008).] It is the kind of place that we have all visited in our dreams: somewhere that at first seems drearily familiar, a nocturnal cityscape perhaps, streets littered and rain-sodden. Until you see the sky. Not black but a lurid yellow: a sickly light, the colour of phosphorous, an unnatural illumination of the darkness. Then, as you knew they would, they come, all twenty-six of them, snarling and slathering, sleek black coats gleaming in the rain, eyes bright as flares. All Anna Ball 2 night, they circle beneath your window, howl at you through your restless sleep, and though in the morning they will be gone, as dreams always are, you know that they will return – for this is what it is to be hunted by this particular kind of beast.

  • Coining of Words in Manipuri
    International Journal of Latest Research in Humanities and Social Science (IJLRHSS) Volume 02 - Issue 12, 2019 www.ijlrhss.com || PP. 93-99 Coining of Words in Manipuri Mayengbam Bidyarani Devi, Ph.D. Senior Fellow, ICSSR Department of Linguistics, Manipur University, Canchipur, Manipur, India Abstract: The present paper contributes to the study of Coining of words in Manipuri, a Tibeto-Burman language. Coining of words in Manipuri is the creation or invention of new words or phrases in which they are formed for a new semantic representation. This creation of new words helps a language to develop new technologies. Manipuri has a good numbers of coined words in their lexicon. Most of the coined words seem to have been created to fill a lexical gap for new objects that were introduced to Manipuri speakers. Coining of words is mostly found in local daily newspapers, journals, literature, media and day today conversation. The best way to coin a new word in Manipuri is to describe an object or a phenomenon. New coin words which are predominantly reflect the social, political, economical and cultural changes. Most of coined words in Manipuri are in the field of literature and conversations. Many of the coined words exist for a long time while some of them survive only for a short period. Coining of words will enrich the lexical development in Manipuri. Keywords: Coining, social, cultural, vocabulary and lexical 1. Introduction Neologisms are newly coined terms, words, or phrases that may be commonly used in everyday life but have yet to be formally accepted as constituting mainstream language.

  • War and Peace on Film Political Science 229: Special Topics in International Relations the College of Wooster Spring 2010
    Appendix: Lantis Class Syllabus War and Peace on Film Political Science 229: Special Topics in International Relations The College of Wooster Spring 2010 Dr. Jeffrey Lantis Office Hours: Kauke 107, #2408 MT 3:30-4:30 pm Course Description “War” and “Peace” are two of the most important topics in the study of international relations. Many believe that these conditions are inextricably linked—that we truly cannot understand one without the other. This course will explore classic and contemporary issues in international peace and security through the media of film, literature, and scholarly works. Key sections of the class examine the origins of war, international terrorism, just-war theory, peace studies, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. More broadly, we critically analyze issues central to human nature including conflict and harmony, wartime experiences, questions of heroism and glory, national identity and conceptions of the “other” through films and popular writings. This course will prompt students to not only examine their own assumptions about historical narratives of peace and security but also to recognize the symbiotic relationship between popular culture and international relations. Course Objectives This is an advanced class. It is expected that you have had prior coursework in the discipline or related areas of study. The class is designed as a seminar where we will critically analyze concepts in international peace and security. Educational objectives for this class include to: • provide a strong foundation in modern studies of peace and security; • re-examine assumptions and explore critical questions regarding the root causes of war and peace; • place theories in international security and peace studies in a meaningful context; • better understand the origins of peace and conflict through the means of alternative pedagogies; • strengthen research, writing, and analytical skills.

Anabelle Honess Roe thoroughly explores animated documentaries in her book Animated Documentary, arguing that animation is used in these kinds of films to either “substitute” for traditional means to represent the real world (24), such as live action footage, or to “evoke” the psychology, emotional states, and other subjective experiences of an individual (25). Ultimately, Roe argues that animation is a suitable “representational strategy for documentary” filmmaking because of its “visual dialectic of absence and excess” (39). This report applies Roe’s arguments to the analysis of the aesthetics and roles of animation in Waltz with Bashir and Tower.

The long-awaited, graphically rich, 2D watercolor-style animation “The Swallows Of Kabul” from French helmers Zabou Breitman and Eléa Gobbé-Mévellec provides an involving adaptation of Yasmina Khadra’s elegant literary fiction. The book, an international bestseller about life under Taliban control in the Afghan capital, highlighted a dangerous act of humanity during a grim and violent time via the stories of two couples whose fates become intertwined through death, imprisonment, and remarkable self-sacrifice. This supplies the core plot of the film, with the action condensed into a tight 81 minutes.
