And the gift of time. Jane Alexander, for firm and gentle guidance. Ben Orkin, for parallel play and sounding boards. Zoe, for her love and encouragement. These sculptures, produced in the extraordinary year 2020, address situations which hold some meaning for me. They explore human follies, including our relationship to nature – both as the environment we subjugate, and the superset of which we are a finite part. Often placed in states of suspended motion that negotiate with gravity, they suggest rhythms of imbalance, displacement and emergence. In the following pages, each of my works is presented alongside material and historical references. I am a capitalist who is troubled by the continuous growth of overproduction, overcon - sumption, depletion of resources and excess waste creation that is inscribed in capital - ism. The inevitable outcome of which will be to consume our own, partially recycled waste products. Arguably, art is a bad way of addressing sustainability, if one considers the cost and the environmental chain of consequences in producing much of it. But all that would remain of this exhibition, and which hadn’t been subsumed by the environment, are bronze statuary fragments and clay bases that could be assigned to other millennia, as well as a few steel pins and a sheet of lead. While the materials I use aren’t ‘precious’ – being mostly salvaged – they are rich in natural or functional properties, imprints of human action, cultural associations and connotations. El Anatsui (2013) says: ‘If you work with what is around you, the cost of the work is different from the value of the work.’1 By becoming art, they are welcomed back into the same econ- omy that discarded them, recalling the clashes of natural beauty and human aesthetics. I seek a quality for my work that considers art an open language, which I speak neither from a position of identity, nor against that of others. In this, I generally defer to Alain Ba - diou’s view that contemporary art should abstract itself from all particularity, including a specific public or audience. 2 The exhibition takes its title from one of my works which ties the materials and themes of the sculptures together and is also a self-portrait of sorts. ‘Nobody, Nowhere’ is a column of rammed earth about my height but almost five times my weight, bound in leather string and capped by a wood spool. As an allegory, it spans the history of land ownership from historical incursions, to its legal foundations, culminating in current-day encroachments and erosions of private property, both in land and body. As an effigy, it stands for my self-contained and rootless individuality, lost lands and impossible dreams. Over the last five generations, no woman in my family has known the certitude of a motherland. Root - ed in six different nationalities, we have moved countries seven times, replacing mother tongues with borrowed languages, and raised children in houses that didn’t have the Eden Road (Detail) 6 INTRODUCTION 7 time to become homes. Brimming with individual and collective myths/memories, we are émigrés everywhere. In lieu of identity, there is a sense of belonging to places of non-be - longing, awareness of communalities and desires for ‘another way’ that gives form to my secular spirituality, my life, and now my work. Perhaps it is due to this peripatetic life that I relate to the passante, the female equiva- lent of Charles Baudelaire’s flaneur3: the observer who wanders through the spaces of modern life with an acquisitive eye, an archetypal modernist explorer, and ‘whose aim is to derive “the eternal from the transitory” and to see the “poetic in the historic.”’(Walter Sugimoto, H. 1990. ‘ XXXX’ Benjamin, 2002)4 I think of my materials as keys to locks I didn’t know existed. In this exhibition, I have worked wood, stone, metal (cast bronze and forged steel) and fired clay, as well as ex - ercising some of the freedom with materials and process which came with Modernism Sugimoto, H.

  • A Sociological Perspective
    THE NEED FOR THE WORLD PEACE IN RIDLEY SCOTT’S KINGDOM OF HEAVEN MOVIE (2005): A SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE RESEARCH PAPER Submitted as a Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement For getting Bachelor Degree of Education In English Department By: FITRI YUNI ASTUTI A 320 050 374 SCHOOL OF TEACHER TRAINING AND EDUCATION MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA 2010 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Kingdom of Heaven is a 2005 film directed by Ridley Scott and written by William Monahan. It stars Orlando Bloom, Eva Green, Jeremy Irons, David Thewlis, Marton Csokas, Brendan Gleeson, Kevin McKidd, Alexander Siddig, Ghassan Massoud, Edward Norton, Jon Finch, Michael Sheen and Liam Neeson. The story is set during the Crusades of the 12th century. A French village blacksmith goes to aid the city of Jerusalem in its defense against the Muslim leader Saladin, who is battling to reclaim the city from the Christians. The film script is a heavily fictionalized portrayal of Balian of Ibelin. Most filming took place in Ouarzazate in Morocco, where Scott had filmed Gladiator and Black Hawk Down. A replica of the ancient city of Jerusalem was constructed in the desert. Filming also took place in Spain, at the Loarre Castle, Segovia, Ávila, Palma del Río and Casa de Pilatos in Sevilla. The movie was a box office flop in the U.S. and Canada, earning $47 million against a budget of around $130 million, but was successful in Europe and the rest of the world, with the worldwide box office earnings totaling at $211,643,158. It was also a big success in Arabic-speaking countries, especially Egypt, mainly because of the Egyptian actor Khaled El Nabawy.

  • Television Sharknados and Twitter Storms
    Television Sharknados and Twitter Storms: Cult Film Fan Practices in the Age of Social Media Branding Stephen William Hay A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the regulations for the degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the Syfy channel’s broadcast of the television movie Sharknado and the large number of tweets that were sent about it. Sharknado’s audience engaged in cult film viewing practices that can be understood using paracinema theory. Paracinema engagement with cult films has traditionally taken place in midnight screenings in independent movie theatres and private homes. Syfy’s audience was able to engage in paracinematic activity that included making jokes about Sharknado’s low quality of production and interacting with others who were doing the same through the affordances of Twitter. In an age where branding has become increasingly important, Syfy clearly benefited from all the fan activity around its programming. Critical branding theory argues that the value generated by a business’s brand comes from the labour of consumers. Brand management is mostly about encouraging and managing consumer labour. The online shift of fan practices has created new opportunities for brand managers to subsume the activities of consumers. Cult film audience practices often have an emphasis on creatively and collectively engaging in rituals and activities around a text. These are the precise qualities that brands require from their consumers. Sharknado was produced and marketed by Syfy to invoke the cult film subculture as part of Syfy’s branding strategy.

  • Anthropogenic Climate Change – Fact Or Fiction? an Academic’S Analysis
    The Business and Management Review, Volume 7 Number 3 April 2016 Anthropogenic climate change – fact or fiction? an academic’s analysis Robert Halliman, Ed.D Department of Public Management & Criminal Justice School of Technology & Public Management Austin Peay State University Fort Campbell Center, USA Abstract The debate over anthropogenic climate change is not settled. More and more scientists are coming out against it and the evidence against it seems to be pouring in. Warnings of global warming and climate change have the appearance of being driven more by an ideological agenda than by science. Introduction The Pope has spoken. If the world’s leaders do not agree to halt carbon emissions and stop global warming, it would be suicide. Obama says the Paris climate summit is a strong rebuke to terrorists. Obama also says that climate change is a more important national security issue than Islamic terrorism. This is the same Obama that said ISIS is the Junior varsity of terrorists and that ISIS was contained. Then the Paris attacks occurred, and then the attacks in San Bernadino, California. Just as Obama has been wrong about ISIS, is he wrong about climate change? A first response to this paper may be to question its need. After all, isn’t anthropogenic global warming (AGW) a fact? The simple answer is that, contrary to the statement of President Obama, the debate over anthropogenic global warming, aka climate change, is not settled. There is a growing body of scientists and academics worldwide who are coming out against the claims that man-made emissions of CO 2 are causing drastic shifts in climate that are behind recent extreme weather events, and against the prediction of more devastation to come unless mankind steps up to stop the harmful emissions.

  • Mad Max, Reaganism and the Road Warrior
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Waterloo Library Journal Publishing Service (University of Waterloo, Canada) Mad Max, Reaganism and The Road Warrior By J. Emmett Winn Fall 1997 Issue of KINEMA IN 1981 THE AUSTRALIAN-MADE FILM The Road Warrior drove into the US film market.(1) The film was well received and quickly became, at that time, the most popular Australian movie ever releasedin the US, and since its debut has played regularly on US cable television.(2) Much has been written about the international success of this film and its predecessor, Mad Max, and the last in the trilogy Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.(3) Contributing to that body of research, this paper addresses the American success of this Australian film within the cultural/political context of the US at the time of its North American release,and discusses its resonance with Reaganism. The fundamental goal of this examination is to situate the films in the larger context of cultural hegemony. The importance of this study lies in the critique of these films as they aid us in understanding the hegemonic process and the American box office triumph of The Road Warrior. I investigate how the trilogy in general, and The Road Warrior specifically, resonates with the social field of its time. These films entered the US during a period of renewed nationalistic interest and conservatism linked with the Reagan/Bush administrations. As Stuart Hall explains, the meanings of cultural products are partially provided by their time. In his article ”Notes on Deconstructing ’The Popular’” he states: The meaning of a cultural symbol is given in part by the social field into which it is incorporated, the practices which it articulates and is made to resonate.

  • The Omega Man
    The Omega Man Score Analysis by Dirk Wickenden Originally published in Legend, issue 24 (1997) The Goldsmith Film Music Society journal Text reproduced by permission of the author, Dirk Wickenden, including minor updates in 2013 THE FILM – BACKGROUND The Omega Man (1971) is based on author Richard Matheson’s classic novel I Am Legend. There had been a previously filmed version starring the late Vincent Price in 1964, an American-Italian co-production entitled THE LAST MAN ON EARTH [since publication of this article sixteen years ago, there has been a third version of the property using the book’s title, starring Will Smith but in the opinion of this writer, not as enjoyable as the Chuck Heston flick]. The Omega Man was a Warner Bros, production and starred Charlton Heston at his ultra-cool best as Robert Neville, with Anthony Zerbe (COOL HAND LUKE, THE DEAD ZONE, PAPILLON) as Matthias. Also featured were Rosalind Cash (AMAZING GRACE, TALES FROM THE HOOD) as Lisa and Paul Koslo (ROOSTER COGBURN, JOE KIDD) as Dutch. Eric Laneuville as Lisa’s brother Richie would go on to star in the television series St. Elsewhere and would go on to direct some episodes, as well as the TV movies The Mighty Pawns (featuring Rosalind Cash), and The Ernest Green Story. The film was directed by Boris Sagal, who had previously helmed GUNS OF DIABLO and the Elvis Presley starrer GIRL HAPPY and later directed the television mini-series MASADA. Production duties were handled by Walter Seltzer, who also produced the later SOYLENT GREEN, again featuring Heston.
