Within 'an hour, local contractors were on the scene to con- tain the peat moss used to simulate the spill; within four hours, Governor John McKernan and a pack of journal- ists were on the scene to soak up the pUblicity. I stayed ashore. I'd seen this act before.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

    Exploding Spaces Present and Future Urban Spaces Cinematically Considered University of Cape Town lan-Malcolm Rijsdijk The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town [Abstract] Urban visions in contemporary film considered to be science fiction are, in fundamental ways, not extrapolations from (or even analogies with) the present, but rather derive their extrapolative impetus from the confluence of urban utopianism and the development of the film medium in the first three decades of the twentieth century. This study seeks to understand the visual dynamics of contemporary science fiction cities in film by exploring a number of diverse architectural and cinematic influences. The argument is initiated through a consideration of utopianism and science fiction, before moving onto specific architectural analysis focused on utopian plans from the modernist period, and the growth of New York during the 1920s. Through a brief reading of German Expressionist Cinema in Chapter 3, the spatial and architectural groundwork is laid for the analysis of several films in Chapters 4-6: Disclosure, Blade Runner, Selen, The Devil's Advocate, 12 Monkeys and The Fifth Element. (While not all the films would be considered as science fiction, those non-science fiction films offer provocative readings of the city as a whole).

Garrison Lepow* Not only is it clear that most law students become impatient at some point during their three years of formal education, but it is clear also that how students learn the law is more the cause of their impatience than what they learn.' Moreover, others besides law students may be entitled to challenge the style of education that manufactures a lawyer-culture. If one assumes for the sake of argument that the intellectual processes of lawyers, and consequently their values, differ from those of their society, this fact does not explain the difference between legal thinking and regular thinking, or explain why there should not be harmony between the two.

    Skript zur Einführung in das Szenenbild Wie wohnt eigentlich James Bond? oder Was Architektur im Film erzählen kann Teil 1 Fragen zum Szenenbild Teil 2 Recherchematerial Szenenbildentwurf zum Projekt „Monitors“ Korbinian Greiner und Kai Bagsik 1 Teil 1 Fragen zum Szenenbild Studio Babelsberg 2017 Was ist eigentlich ein Szenenbildner? Das Szenenbild (engl. Production Design) ist neben der Drehbuch- /Projektentwicklung, der Regie, der Kamera und der Produktion eine der Säulen der Filmkunst. Der Szenenbildner, Szenograf, Produktionsdesigner oder Filmarchitekt - die Berufsbezeichnungen sind so vielfältig, wie die verschiedenen Aufgabengebiete - erarbeitet mit den anderen „Heads of Department“ eine bildnerische Umsetzung der Drehbuchvorgaben. Im Idealfall wird der Szenenbildner frühzeitig in die Projektentwicklung eingebunden, so dass nach seinen Umsetzungsvorschlägen und der Kalkulation das Drehbuch entsprechend modifiziert werden kann. Sein Tätigkeitsgebiet umfasst neben dem Kinofilm auch den Fernsehfilm, die Fernseh- bzw. Web-Serie, die Werbung, Musikvideos und den Eventbereich. 2 Szenenbild 2007 Innen/Nacht Szenenbild Kai Bagsik Was unterscheidet die Filmarchitektur von der Hochbauarchitektur? Der zweifache Oscar Preisträger Ken Adam faste in etwa zusammen: „Der Entwurf eines Szenenbildes ist, der Entwurf von Schatten und Licht.“ Das ist natürlich eine Vereinfachung bzw. Zuspitzung, aber eine, die veranschaulicht. Das Szenenbild ist eine Vertiefung der Architektur unter Einbeziehung der bildenden Kunst, des Designs und der Innenarchitektur.

Even as the logo is altered with time, the yellow backdrop traded for a grey one, the awareness persists. Yet even as people recognize Batman’s logo, one person’s impression of the superhero does not always align with another’s: a cheerful, law-abiding Batman who orders orange juice instead of alcohol at bars is Batman as he appeared in the 1960s, and a brooding hero wreathed in darkness and prone to conflicted inner monologues is the Batman of the 1980s.

Garoian Director, School of Visual Arts Professor of Art Education Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee ______________________________ ________________ Paul E. Bolin Associate Professor of Art Education Head of the Department of Art Education ______________________________ ________________ Marjorie Wilson Associate Professor of Art Education ______________________________ ________________ Joe L. Kincheloe Professor of Education iii ABSTRACT In this thesis, I provoke new ways of seeing the art museum as it is transformed and reinvented in the twenty-first century. The art museum has changed shape. Its bricks have been flattened on paper, celluloid and plastic and diffused into virtual spaces. The relationship between flesh and environment has been irrevocably changed as people no longer have to attend the built structure of the art museum to know the art museum. It recurs infinitely in our daily lives – on television, movie and computer screens, in books and magazines, and on urban artifacts from matchbook covers to billboards. These representations may not be real art museums per se but they provide the basis upon which most people now partake of the museum’s sacred rituals. I confront the dilemma of defining the cultural and material parameters of the art museum by analyzing it in terms of four frames.
