  • Influence of Michael Corleone's Personalities on His Relationship
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 497 Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Literature, Art and Human Development (ICLAHD 2020) Influence of Michael Corleone’s Personalities on His Relationship With Other Characters in Trilogy of The Godfather Longhe Cao Shenzhen Middle School, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518034, China *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Analyzing the personalities and relationship of the characters is an effective method for both the professionals and the ordinary audience to comprehend movies. By discovering and explaining how Michael Corleone in The Godfather influences his relationship with other characters, this dissertation is aimed at assisting readers to fully comprehend the essence of movies in detail. This paper utilizes the method which extracts a variety of conflicts and major transitions between Michael and other characters to reflect how Michael’s personalities work on these relationships. Based on the facts in the movie, Michael demonstrates different attitudes to his family members and the outsiders of his family. It will be helpful for the audience if there are researches which can deeply analyze a more well-rounded image of Michael’s Corleone, besides analyzing his relationship and personalities appears in the future.

It argues that women in these texts function as an “absent presence,” by which I mean that they are a convention of the patriarchal gangster landscape and often with little import while at the same time they cultivate resistant strategies from within this backgrounded positioning. Whereas previous scholarly work on gangster texts has identified how women are characterized as stereotypes, this dissertation argues that women characters frequently employ the marginal positions to which they are relegated for empowering effect. This dissertation begins by surveying existing gangster scholarship. There is a preoccupation with male characters in this work, as is the case in most gangster texts themselves.

  • Stereotypical Representations of Italian Americans in Film
    ETHNICITY, CLASS AND HUMOR: STEREOTYPICAL REPRESENTATIONS OF ITALIAN AMERICANS IN FILM by Alessandra Senzani Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the English Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2004 Ethnicity, Class and Humor: Stereotypical Representations ofItalian Americans in Film Alessandra Senzani I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University and other individuals to make copies ofthis thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Alessandra Senzani, Student Date Approvals: Dr. Salvatore Attardo, Thesis Advisor Date . kon, Committee Member Date iii ABSTRACT The paper explores the intersections between representations ofethnicity and class, focusing on the role humor plays in constructing ethnic and class identity on the big screen. The aim of the study is to show that humor can be used to subvert mainstream negative stereotypes, while still signaling acknowledgment and appreciation for past ingroup stereotypical representations. Object of the study are mafia films and, specifically for the analysis of the humor, mafia comedies featuring Italian Americans. Sociological and semantic studies of humor have been brought together and the overlapping between semantic scripts, ethnic stereotypes and sociological findings on ethnic jokes has been shown. This provided a theoretical framework to analyze humor as a manifestation of both class and ethnic stereotypes. The analysis of the two mafia comedies, The Freshman (1990) and Analyze This (1999), has confirmed the hypothesis that humor functions as a commentary on ethnic and class identity.

Criniti B.S. Wheeling Jesuit University, 2000 M.A. University of Dayton, 2002 Committee Chair: Thomas LeClair, Ph.D. iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of documentary fiction within contemporary media culture. Through the authors’ inclusion of documented historical events/personages and their critical mediation of these documents, the writers show an awareness of the mediated nature of historical knowledge—including a consciousness of their own act of novelistic mediation. As a result, I argue that contemporary documentary fiction, through its recognition of the inevitability of mediation and the challenges it brings to entrenched cultural notions, is best equipped to thrive in the media-saturated marketplace. In order to explore the variety of ways contemporary documentary fictions “navigate the media torrent,” I have paired the texts according to similarities in form and mode of mediation. Each chapter examines the authors’ novelistic renderings of history against dominant nonfictional accounts in order to analyze the authors’ mediations of and challenges to hegemonic conceptions of that history.
