Brno: Masarykova univerzita, Pedagogická fakulta, Katedra anglického jazyka a literatury, 2020. 48 stran. Vedoucí bakalářské práce: Mgr. Irena Headlandová Kalischová, Ph.D. Abstract The title of this thesis is “Comparative Analysis of an NYC Accent as Performed by Non-native NYC Actors”. This accent is one of the most easily recognizable accents of American English, so it is interesting to see what it is about and how it is possible that some actors can imitate an accent that is not natural to them and yet sound natural. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part provides basic information about the differences in pronunciation of standard American English and the specifics of the New York accent. There is also information about accent coaching or mentoring and basic information on how such coaching works. The second part then presents the results of data analysis from pre-selected movie scenes, clearly comparing the selected samples in graphs and tables.

    The Art of Deception: Aesthetics at the Perimeter of Truth HUM 598: Humanistic Perspectives on the Arts Spring 2011; Thursdays, 10am-12:50pm D. Graham Burnett (History/History of Science) Princeton University hat is the relationship between art and falsehood? A significant tradition for W conceptualizing the arts has long defined their sphere by reference to doubling, fantasy, and betrayal: when we are in the realm of art, we have left the kingdom of the real—and our capacity for proper engagement depends to a considerable degree on our ability to maintain (or at least recover) an awareness of this fact. By these lights, the arts function as something like a safe house for lying, an Elysium for those good deceptions willing to declare themselves. But is all this correct? There are excellent reasons to think not. This course takes up the problem of truth and falsehood in the arts in a sustained way: we will sift the genealogy of current theoretical positions on this issue by means of close reading of classical and recent texts; we will investigate works of art (painting, sculpture, poetry, etc.) that engage these matters, with particular attention to gaming at the margins of the seemingly stable categories; we will weigh the political and critical implications of different postures in this large arena; and we will experiment with new perspectives and practices. WEEK 1: Introduction and Organizational Meeting (no reading) WEEK 2: Art and Truth: Confidence Games Herman Melville, The Confidence-Man; His Masquerade, [1857] (There are various suitable editions; I use the Library of America volume, which lumps this novella together with Pierre and various other things, but feel free to read it in any decent copy).

Events of Realing, Mockumentalities and the Becoming-Political of the Viewing Subject. Örebro Studies in Media and Communications 23. This study aims at making inquiry into what happens when a viewing subject encounters a film where it proves difficult to recognize if it is factual or fictional. In order to meet this aim the dissertation offers an experimental approach of both theoretical and methodological nature. Drawing on materialist-affective theory and Deleuzian philosophy a method assemblage for mediamateriality is suggested. This offers a set of conceptual keys that makes it possible to trace the unfolding of actual encounters with blurred boundaries between the factual and the fiction- al. By performing a reception study whereby six data-producers engage with Exit Through the Giftshop, (Banksy 2010), I’m Still Here (Affleck 2010) and Catfish (Joost and Schulman 2010), a three-fold data is pro- duced.

One disserta- tion on Philip K. Dick had already appeared as a book (by Kim Stanley Robinson) and Dick, though I loved his work, just wasn’t that well known or respected (not then). Plus, I was liv- ing in a mud hut and teaching people to use oxen for plowing: how would I ever be able to do the work that would be needed to turn my study from dissertation to book? When I defended the dissertation, I had imagined myself finished with studies of Philip K.

  • Clifford Irving, Author of a Notorious Literary Hoax, Dies at 87 by WILLIAM GRIMESDEC
    AiA Art News-service Clifford Irving, Author of a Notorious Literary Hoax, Dies at 87 By WILLIAM GRIMESDEC. 20, 2017 Photo Clifford Irving, left, facing reporters in 1972, as a grand jury in Manhattan took up the literary-hoax case against him. CreditJack Manning/The New York Times Clifford Irving, who perpetrated one of the biggest literary hoaxes of the 20th century in the early 1970s when he concocted a supposedly authorized autobiography of the billionaire Howard Hughes based on meetings and interviews that never took place, died on Tuesday at a hospice facility near his home in Sarasota, Fla. He was 87. His wife, Julie Irving, confirmed the death. She said he was admitted to the hospice over the weekend after receiving a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer about a week ago. Mr. Irving hit on the idea for “The Autobiography of Howard Hughes” after reading “The Case of the Invisible Billionaire,” an article about him published in the December 1970 issue of Newsweek. Hughes, a notorious eccentric and recluse who had not spoken to the press since 1958, had just quit Las Vegas to take up residence on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Mr. Irving, a modestly successful novelist and nonfiction writer, was intrigued. He had recently published an as-told-to memoir, “Fake!: The Story of Elmyr de Hory, the Greatest Art Forger of Our Time.” Perhaps inspired by his subject, he came up with a wild scheme. He convinced editors at McGraw-Hill, his publisher, that Hughes had contacted him to express admiration for “Fake!” and proposed collaborating on a similar project.

  • The Historical Thought of Film: Terrence Malick and Philosophical Cinema
    The Historical Thought of Film: Terrence Malick and Philosophical Cinema A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Steven M. Rybin June 2009 © 2009 Steven M. Rybin. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled The Historical Thought of Film: Terrence Malick and Philosophical Cinema by STEVEN M. RYBIN has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by Vladimir L. Marchenkov Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT RYBIN, STEVEN M., Ph.D., June 2009, Interdisciplinary Arts The Historical Thought of Film: Terrence Malick and Philosophical Cinema (484 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Vladimir L. Marchenkov Previous scholarly work on the director Terrence Malick has argued that his films – Badlands (1973), Days of Heaven (1978), The Thin Red Line (1998) and The New World (2005) – are, in varying ways, philosophical. This assessment is usually made via an analysis of the films in relation to a single philosophical metatext (frequently the work of Martin Heidegger) that transcends the concrete historical situation of both the given film and the historically existing viewer. This study seeks to intervene in this critical literature by theorizing an approach for understanding Malick’s films as works that do not merely illustrate already articulated philosophical themes but that rather function, in dialogue with the spectator, as an invitation to generate creative and historically situated meaning. The film medium, this study argues, is uniquely philosophical in that it exists in time (via the gradual entropy of the celluloid film print) as does the finite, historically embodied spectator.
