    COWBOYS, POSTMODERN HEROES, AND ANTI-HEROES: THE MANY FACES OF THE ALTERIZED WHITE MAN Hyon Joo Yoo Murphree, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2000 APPROVED: Diane Negra, Major Professor Olaf Hoerschelmann, Committee Member Diana York Blaine, Committee Member C. Melinda Levin, Graduate Coordinator of the Department of Radio, TV and Film Steve Craig, Chair of the Department of Radio, TV and Film C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Murphree, Hyon Joo Yoo, Cowboys, Postmodern Heroes, and Anti-heroes: The Many Faces of the Alterized White Man. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), August 2000, 131 pp., references, 48 titles. This thesis investigates how hegemonic white masculinity adopts a new mode of material accumulation by entering into an ambivalent existence as a historical agent and metahistory at the same time and continues to function as a performative identity that offers a point of identification for the working class white man suggesting that bourgeois identity is obtainable through the performance of bourgeois ethics. The thesis postulates that the phenomenal transitions brought on by industrialization and deindustrialization of 50’s through 90’s coincide with the representational changes of white masculinity from paradigmatic cowboy incarnations to the postmodern action heroes, specifically as embodied by Bruce Willis. The thesis also examines how postmodern heroes’ “intero-alterity” is further problematized by antiheroes in Tim Burton’s films.

  • Flight of the Navigator Digital Booklet
    ……uly 4th, 1978 and silver saucers sail over the Miami skyline. J…… For young David Freeman (Joey Cramer), the day began like any other holiday with a family outing at the park and a frisbee pet catching contest (Main Title). His disappointment with his dog Bruiser's inability to perform is compounded only by the further taunts of his irascible kid brother, Jeff. That night, David is told to escort his younger brother home from a friend's house (David In The Woods). David accidentally falls into a ravine, knocking himself out. When he awakens, David is terrified to discover his family no longer living at the house. In fact, the house has been entirely redecorated. Taken to the police station, the officer in charge discovers David has been declared legally dead! Eventually the boy is taken to a house where he is reunited with his mother (Veronica Cartwright) and father (Cliff DeYoung), only to discover that they're much older than when he saw them only hours before. Meanwhile, NASA scientist Lewis Faraday (Howard Hesseman) discovers an alien spacecraft, seemingly floating as if lighter than air, entangled in a high tension tower. He orders it taken away to the space center (Transporting The Ship). David is taken to a hospital for tests where he meets his “little” brother, Jeff, who now appears several years older than himself. Jeff reveals that it's 8 years later from the night David fell into the ravine. That night as the silver vehicle is being examined in a NASA hanger, David hears a voice calling out to him.

  • Los Beowulfs De Robert Zemeckis Y Caitlín R
    Miscelánea Medieval Murciana 2009, XXXIII; pp. 9-31 ESTRATEGIAS Y RECURSOS PARA LA REELABORACIÓN DE UN POEMA HEROICO MEDIEVAL EN EL SIGLO XXI: LOS BEOWULFS DE ROBERT ZEMECKIS Y CAITLÍN R. KIERNAN Juan Camilo Conde Silvestre1 RESUMEN La presencia de la Edad Media como uno de los marcos privilegiados por la cultura popular contemporánea es fácilmente constatable en la cantidad de películas, novelas, cómics e incluso juguetes, videojuegos y hasta parques temáticos inspirados en distintos aspectos de este periodo de la historia europea. El poema anglo-sajón Beowulf no es ajeno a esta ‘apropiación’ y cuenta con decenas de (re)creaciones y adaptaciones en distintos for- matos. Entre las más recientes destacan la película Beowulf de Robert Zemeckis (2007) y la novela homónima de Cailtlín R. Kiernan (2007), ambas basadas en el guión firmado por Neil Gaiman y Roger Avary (2007). En este trabajo se analizan estas dos propuestas, tanto desde los parámetros de la cultura popular, como en su relación con el poema medieval del que parten. De este modo, se detectan algunas estrategias literarias y culturales que remiten con cierta fidelidad al original y añaden así un componente intelectual o culto a estas dos versiones populares. Palabras clave: Literatura medieval, literatura anglo-sajona, Beowulf, adaptación litera- ria, adaptación cinematográfica, cultura popular, intertextualidad. ABSTRACT The Middle Ages has been privileged in countless adaptations within popular culture. The number of movies, novels, graphic novels, toys, computer games and even amusement parks based on different aspects related to this historical period is indeed very high.
