Maybe you were restless, looking for a place to sit and watch your shadow stain the ground. While your feet rearranged broken feldspar like angry words, you saw a black beetle big as your ear even with its head broken off. You stopped, thinking it moved. But i t was empty, a stranded desert nautilus. So, with your skin pricked rose quartz, you sat, mica gleaming like constellations around your feet, the beetle that became a shell. You walked inside, spelunking for the g ^ lia , prospecting the missing heart. When you awoke, you m i^ t wonder that you picked the shell rp and brought i t home. Maybe you were thinking about your lover or your children or vhat to have for lundi, and instead of answering the phone that rang distant as a vLreo's solitary call, you sat at the shady table placing the beetle on your plate. For a moment you imagined eating it so that black indifferent husk, would fill you but you could see, inside the thorax you thought was eapty, a tiny li^ t sharp as the flash of animal eyes strudc by headlights on a lonely road. Your hand opened. WTLDFLCWERS fo r Anna Petroska Jaddnchuk I arrange Cornflowers, Brown-^ed Susans, roadside Purple Eodcets for you, years since you taught me A eir names. You say wind scours words from your head as sun catches us in your kitchen. Grandna, Babushka, again I ask stories of the old country, the mountains blue as aging veins, cures boiled f r m mushrooms you picked, and the time, coming home late, you hid in river willows near gypsy canps rocking to balalaikas smouldering like icons in your mother's bedroom. How the dark pulse cau^t you early next morning, ^en instead of capping beer in the family brewery, you danced on straw-covered ice until you fell unconscious, and the wind began. You thought of penance when your mother shipped you a t twelve to American alone, knowing no English, your sole welcome to Ellis Island an Atlantic stnrm. II You remgiiber yellow roses, amythest lilacs, Kiss-Me-Over-The-Garden-Gate, ^hose tongues held no alien voice. Their country was sanctuary from my grandfather who betrayed his promises of Dahlias and lace. Even as you planted the Tea Rose, he ran whisk^ from Canada, bought cars and fancy clothes to win women whose faces lin e d s ilk rooms you never saw, (stanza break) His l a u ^ t e r scratched a t each bloom T^diile you cooked Russian meals and danced for his Purple Gang friends. Your payment, boiled potatoes and sour milk. Bullets tore the roots from your dreams even a fte r he was shuffled, a black-hearted king, to prison and back. His last parole, he beat your oldest son unconscious, then suffocated, his head smaller than you remembered, inside your stove. For years, gas stained yellow the kitchen air. You warn me about men, your second husband so alcoholic he doesn't recall how \diiskey drove anger like a grass fire throu^ his heart vhen he split the kitchen table with a cleaver meant for you. Now, mowing t±e lawn, he cuts the sinple tongues of snapdragms, Mj s s Rose, Siow-On-The-Mountain, cursing stans and petals clogging his blades. Pushing you to sign over your house to his son, he can't iproot ^*at holds your ground, III Complaints are foreign as I w ill become to you. Memorizing your hands, v^i^tless and resilient as bird bones. I've ccme to say goodbye. You point to the Magnolia opening the yard with blossoms healing as your absolute lau#iter. So far North, you marvel it's survived winters and their surfeit of burying snow. I tell you I'm ging alone to mountains I've never seen. You repeat, witdfZoiiers accn't be tz^ansptanted I want to die in my own house (stanza break) Grandma, you love best dark petals, black marooned roses, cinnamon deep azaleas, and you give me the deepest for ny hair.

Automatic Movie Analysis and Summarisation Philip John Gorinski I V N E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2017 Abstract Automatic movie analysis is the task of employing Machine Learning methods to the field of screenplays, movie scripts, and motion pictures to facilitate or enable vari- ous tasks throughout the entirety of a movie’s life-cycle. From helping with making informed decisions about a new movie script with respect to aspects such as its origi- nality, similarity to other movies, or even commercial viability, all the way to offering consumers new and interesting ways of viewing the final movie, many stages in the life-cycle of a movie stand to benefit from Machine Learning techniques that promise to reduce human effort, time, or both.

  • 'Little Terrors'
    Don DeLillo’s Promiscuous Fictions: The Adulterous Triangle of Sex, Space, and Language Diana Marie Jenkins A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The School of English University of NSW, December 2005 This thesis is dedicated to the loving memory of a wonderful grandfather, and a beautiful niece. I wish they were here to see me finish what both saw me start. Contents Acknowledgements 1 Introduction 2 Chapter One 26 The Space of the Hotel/Motel Room Chapter Two 81 Described Space and Sexual Transgression Chapter Three 124 The Reciprocal Space of the Journey and the Image Chapter Four 171 The Space of the Secret Conclusion 232 Reference List 238 Abstract This thesis takes up J. G. Ballard’s contention, that ‘the act of intercourse is now always a model for something else,’ to show that Don DeLillo uses a particular sexual, cultural economy of adultery, understood in its many loaded cultural and literary contexts, as a model for semantic reproduction. I contend that DeLillo’s fiction evinces a promiscuous model of language that structurally reflects the myth of the adulterous triangle. The thesis makes a significant intervention into DeLillo scholarship by challenging Paul Maltby’s suggestion that DeLillo’s linguistic model is Romantic and pure. My analysis of the narrative operations of adultery in his work reveals the alternative promiscuous model. I discuss ten DeLillo novels and one play – Americana, Players, The Names, White Noise, Libra, Mao II, Underworld, the play Valparaiso, The Body Artist, Cosmopolis, and the pseudonymous Amazons – that feature adultery narratives.
