Buchanan Osgoode Hall Law School,York University Abstract The failures of Western law in its encounter with indigenous legal orders have been well documented, but alternative modes of negotiating the encounter remain under-explored in legal scholarship. The present article addresses this lacuna. It proceeds from the premise that the journey towards a different conceptualization of law might be fruitfully re-routed through the affect-laden realm of embodied experience – the experience of watching the subversive anti- western film Dead Man. Section II explains and develops a Deleuzian approach to law and film which involves thinking about film as ‘‘event.’’ Section III considers Dead Man’s relation to the western genre and its implications for how we think about law’s founding on the frontier.

May 1, 2018/Brooklyn, NY—BAM announces the full lineup for the tenth annual BAMcinemaFest (Jun 20—Jul 1). Described as “filmgoers’ most exhilarating annual opportunity for discovery” (The Village Voice), BAMcinemaFest has evolved into a platform for both emerging and established filmmakers as well as unconventional and often overlooked films. This year’s 12-day festival presents all New York premieres and three world premieres. Gina Duncan, BAM’s Associate Vice President of Cinema explains "We are proud to present work that is compelling, defiant, and ultimately thrilling. It feels appropriate to celebrate the tenth BAMcinemaFest with a line-up of films and filmmakers whose energy and adventurousness hints at something profound taking root. I can't wait to see what it bears." Opening this year’s festival on Wednesday, June 20 is the head-spinningly surreal debut from musician-turned-filmmaker Boots Riley, Sorry to Bother You. Struggling to make ends meet in Oakland, CA, Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) lands a job as a RegalView telemarketer. Realizing perfecting his “white voice” is the key to his monetary success, Green soon discovers it’s not without considerable consequences.

  • Western (Genre)
    Western (genre) http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/41275 The Western is a fiction genre seen in film, television, radio, literature, painting and other visual arts. Westerns are devoted to telling stories set primarily in the later half of the 19th century in what became the Western United States (known as the American Old West or Wild West), but also in Western Canada, Mexico ("The Wild Bunch", "Vera Cruz"), Alaska ("The Far Country", "North to Alaska") and even Australia ("Quigley Down Under", "The Proposition"). Some Westerns are set as early as the Battle of the Alamo in 1836 but most are set between the end of the American Civil War and the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890, though there are several "late Westerns" (e.g., "The Wild Bunch" and "100 Rifles") set as late as the Mexican Revolution in 1913. There are also a number of films about Western- type characters in contemporary settings where they don't fit in, such as "Junior Bonner" set in the 1970s, and "Down in the Valley" and "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" in the 21st Century. Westerns often portray how primitive and obsolete ways of life confronted modern technological or social changes. This may be depicted by showing conflict between natives and settlers or U.S. Cavalry, or by showing ranchers being threatened by the onset of the Industrial Revolution. American Westerns of the 1940s and 1950s emphasise the values of honor and sacrifice. Westerns from the 1960s and 1970s often have more pessimistic view, glorifying a rebellious anti-hero and highlighting the cynicism, brutality and inequality of the American West.

    Annual Meeting st 31 Hyatt Regency Albuquerque Albuquerque, New Mexico Texas Popular Culture and American Culture Association American Culture and Culture Texas Popular February 10-13, 2010 / www.swtxpca.org Southwest Southwest st 31 Annual Meeting of the SWTX PCA/ACA To All SWTX PCA/ACA Participants This past year the Popular/American Culture movement was saddened with the passing of Dr. Ray Browne. As the founder of the National PCA/ACA, its regional organizations, the inspiration behind the Journal of Popular Culture and the Journal of American Culture, a prolific author and advocate for Popular /American Culture scholars Ray’s influence was felt worldwide. st Join us in dedicating our 31 Annual SWTX PCA/ACA Conference in his honor. CONTENTS PROGRAM Ray Browne (1922 – 2009): Mentor to Many and Friend to All Ray Browne was a mentor to thousands of us and we celebrate his influence as we mourn. At the age of 87, he was still editing book reviews for the Journal of American Culture and, pretty much till the end of his life, making the daily trek to his office in Bowling Green State University’s Jerome Library. Ray believed that there was both a need and an opportunity to study popular culture. For someone trained in folklore (as Ray had been), this was not a radical notion, but “traditionalist” professors in English and history departments deplored such slumming. A 1969 Toledo, Ohio, meeting of the American Studies Association focusing on popular culture became the occasion for crystallizing random experiments into a new movement. With cohorts Russell Nye, Tom Towers, Marshall Fishwick, and Daniel Walden—and with indispensable help from Ms.

  • The Global Art Cinema of Jim Jarmusch
    Arbitrary Reality: The Global Art Cinema of Jim Jarmusch By Copyright 2012 Eric Lackey Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Chuck Berg ________________________________ Dr. Catherine Preston ________________________________ Professor Kevin Willmott Date Defended: July 23, 2012 ii The Thesis Committee for Eric Lackey certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Arbitrary Reality: The Global Art Cinema of Jim Jarmusch ________________________________ Chairperson: Dr. Chuck Berg Date approved: July 26, 2012 iii Abstract The cinema of American filmmaker Jim Jarmusch resists many attempts at categorization. This thesis examines Jarmusch’s cinema within the context of both American independent cinema studies and global art cinema studies. This is accomplished by considering Jarmusch’s independent cinema as an intersection between the two areas and by linking the global to the singular case of Jarmusch. The periodization of this study is between 1980 and 2009 when Jarmusch’s feature film production illustrates a conscious engagement with global art cinema. The details of how his films were financed, exhibited, and distributed, and the development of the contemporary American independent cinema scene during this time, help to establish both Jarmusch’s independence and his alignment with global art cinema. The industrial framework Jarmusch established provides an economic structure that sustains his work to the present. Textual analysis of the films Dead Man (1995), Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (2000), Broken Flowers (2005), and The Limits of Control (2009), reveals an approach to mise- en-scene and narrative that corresponds more closely with global art cinema than with most Hollywood films.
