Tr Aprial 2018 ck One A HISTORY OF LIRPA LABS Audio had Loof every April, but SR had Rodrigues all year long. In preparation for our April issue, and in search of a subject for our retrospective flashback feature, I pressed deep into our 60-year archive for hints of the origin of Lirpa Labs and its mysterious, opinionated, and wildly creative founder, Loof Lirpa. Many readers know that Loof and his often wacky products typically only appear in the BY ROB SABIN, EDITOR weeks leading up to April, more often than not as we’re just going to press. I perused every April issue looking for a glimpse of him—every single one, dating back to our first year in 1958 when our predecessor HiFi & Music Review was in only its third edition. Despite my recol- lections of Lirpa from my time at Stereo Review in the mid-1990s, and those of my colleague (and former editor-in-chief) Bob Ankosko, I was unable to find even one reference in the magazine until our more modern history in the few years prior to our merge with Home Theater. Hmm...where was Loof? So, I decided to check in with longtime contributor Ken An excerpt from Audio magazine’s review of the Lirpa 5kg Pohlmann, whose first articles in SR (aftermarket car audio •tonearm, April 1980 reviews) date to 1988, and whose Signals column (it ran under different names through the years) goes back to 1989. Lirpa, he a radio concert by the “distinguished continental pianist” Lirpa reminded me, made regular appearances in Audio magazine, at Loof, but when listeners tuned in, the joke was on them. And in one time a sister publication to SR in the mid-1990s when I was 1969, in the midst of the ongoing space race and with the U.S. first there, before ever appearing inSound & Vision. Ah...that rang poised to reach the moon, the Daily Journal newspaper in a bell. So I checked our Audio archive for as far back as I had on Kankakee, Illinois ran a most convincing item—complete with hand, and sure enough, in the April 1980 issue, there was a review a photo—about a Soviet space capsule that had dropped from of a 5-kilogram Lirpa tonearm and cartridge.

BUCHERER n 1923, quand un journaliste a demandé à l’alpiniste George Mallory pourquoi il voulait gravir l’Everest, il a répondu : « Parce qu’il est là. » Ces quelques mots entrés dans la légende résument la raison E pour laquelle l’homme cherche sans cesse à relever des défis apparemment insurmontables. Dans ce numéro, nous faisons connaissance avec Armin Schelbert, un Suisse de 74 ans qui, plusieurs fois par jour, gravit le Grand Mythen, dans les Alpes schwyzoises. Pour Armin, cette montagne est autant un défi permanent à relever qu’un moyen de créer des liens avec d’autres randonneurs. Chacun a en soi des valeurs qui alimentent ses passions. Chez Carl F. Bucherer, notre passion est de produire des montres qui représentent l’avenir de l’horlogerie, tout en ren- dant hommage à notre formidable histoire.

  • Rosillo, Tatiana Professor Nelson Film and Other Media Final Paper 2
    Rosillo 1 Rosillo, Tatiana Professor Nelson Film and Other Media Final Paper 2 May 2018 A Stiletto in the Hand Is Worth a Gun in the Purse Mainstream American action films require the audience to empathize with a protagonist as he (and very seldom she) is put through a series of intense fight sequences and tension-filled personal exchanges to complete any manner of high stakes mission. The spy film is an exemplary subset of this genre, employing the formula in an interesting, if somewhat statist, romp through action genre conventions. Overwhelmingly, men have been the main creators, consumers, and centers of spy narratives. These narratives tend to leave women out on the margins, restricting female characters and excluding female creators and consumers. Recently, there has been a shift towards women playing larger roles and even leading spy films. However, this progress remains hampered by the lack of opportunities afforded to female directors and female driven scripts. The film Atomic Blonde (2017) exhibits this complex step in the move towards female- centric spy films with Charlize Theron as the titular blonde, Lorraine Broughton, with male director David Leitch at the helm. What warrants critical attention in Rosillo 2 Atomic Blonde are the modes of weaponized femininity constructed by Lorraine in her wardrobe and mannerisms; Lorraine cultivates an impenetrable, unflappable traditionally feminine aesthetic and uses this aesthetic as armor, weapon, and trap. Using these modes of weaponized femininity, the film examines the constructed nature of femininity and weaponized femininity’s interventions in those expectations. In order to understand the progress Atomic Blonde is attempting, one must examine the pre-established conventions of spy genres with regards to male and female roles.

    ATOMIC BLONDE Written by Kurt Johnstad Based on the Oni Press graphic novel series "The Coldest City" written by Antony Johnston And illustrated by Sam Hart FADE UP FROM BLACKNESS: SUPER: “BERLIN, NOVEMBER 9, 1989” INT. ATTACHÉ’S OFFICE - NIGHT The room is lit by a single bare bulb and a small television. A man with “Eric Clapton” hair and moustache circa 1976 sits alone, drinking two fingers of single-malt scotch. This is DAVID PERCEVAL. INSERT - NEWS FOOTAGE MTV’s Kurt Loder reports from the Berlin Wall. We see from the MTV news footage that massive crowds are assembling. Two EAST GERMAN SOLDIERS stand on the Wall, holding an MTV umbrella, an iconic symbol of the times. BACK TO SCENE We MOVE ON a reflection of Perceval on the television. Perceval leans in, shuts off the television and stands with a clear objective. Time to go. EXT. WEST BERLIN - NIGHT The air is electric as West Germans carry hammers, chisels and pickaxes with purpose towards the Berlin wall. We see Perceval turn the corner into a dark alleyway near a parked Saab 900 Turbo. Perceval sees a figure in the shadows and slows. PERCEVAL Well, I suppose that’s it. We’ll be obsolete by morning. I’ll be back in London, and you... back to the party. We hear the faint sounds of HAMMERS STRIKING against concrete. PERCEVAL (CONT’D) The simplicity of our struggle crumbles as that wall comes down. The lines on the map drawn by men who never faced the risk themselves will be harder to see.

  • A Comparative Study of Women's Aggression
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF WOMEN'S AGGRESSION Kiera M. Gaswint A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2018 Committee: Kim Coates, Advisor Jeff Brown © 2018 Kiera Gaswint All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kim Coates, Advisor This project explores women’s aggression in superhero, science fiction, and crime film through a close reading of Wonder Woman, Ghost in the Shell, and Atomic Blonde. All based in genres that are traditionally considered ‘for boys,’ these films are different from other superhero, science fiction, and crime films because they feature female leads with aggressive tendencies. Using Dana Crowley Jack’s theory of women’s aggression and Yvonne Tasker and Diane Negra’s definition of postfeminism, I argue that Diana, Major, and Lorraine revolutionize the image of the lead postfeminist character by offering examples of women’s aggression that resist acceptable, palatable representations of women’s aggression. Whereas in the past there have been many representations of aggressive women, those past representations have been affected by postfeminism in a way that commodifies and limits their ability to be authentically aggressive. I examine how these new films – Wonder Woman, Ghost in the Shell, and Atomic Blonde - play into and ultimately resist postfeminist representations because of their aggression and how that aggression is played out on the female body. In the following chapters I analyze how the heroines in Wonder Woman, Ghost in the Shell, and Atomic Blonde disrupt postfeminist notions and prior images of women’s aggression by explicitly examining aggressive women who are not domesticated or justified by rape.
