The so-called Golden Twenties FFILMILM FILM however was also a decade in which Germany had to deal with the aftermath of the First World War. Film CULTURE CULTURE Front Weimar shows how Germany tried to reconcile IN TRANSITION IN TRANSITION the horrendous experiences of the war through the war films made between 1919 and 1933. These films shed light on the way Ger- many chose to remember its recent past. A body of twenty-five films is analysed. For insight into the understanding and reception of these films at the time, hundreds of film reviews, censorship re- ports and some popular history books are discussed. This is the first rigorous study of these hitherto unacknowledged war films. The chapters are ordered themati- cally: war documentaries, films on the causes of the war, the front life, the war at sea and the home front.

Carlson The Western is often seen as a uniquely American narrative form, one so deeply ingrained as to constitute a national myth. This perception persists despite its inherent shortcomings, among them its inapplicability to the many instances of filmmakers outside the United States appropriating the genre and thus undercutting this view of generic exceptionalism.

Of these people, 685 (95%) were from Eritrea, and 197 (25%) of the Eritreans were unaccompanied children. Of the women on board, several were pregnant and others were severely sick. Many of those we rescued demonstrated physical and psychological trauma from beatings, rapes, threats and deprived living conditions throughout their journey – from Eritrea, through Ethiopia, Sudan and the Sahara desert to Libya. They showed us their scars and told us their terrible stories. We identified their ailments and treated them as best we could. The majority said they were aware of the dangers of crossing the Mediterranean Sea, but considered it their only option to seek safety and protection.” MSF cultural mediator, on board Aquarius search and rescue vessel, 6 October 2016 Eritrean migrants on a boat in distress before being rescued by the Bourbon Argos, a search and rescue vessel operated by Médecins Sans Frontières, 27 July 2015.

  • Cinematic Hong Kong of Wong Kar-Wai
    CINEMATIC HONG KONG OF WONG KAR-WAI by HAIHONG LI ABSTRACT In order to promote an understanding of the centrality of space and the intimate relationship between space and identity in Wong Kar-wai’s films, this dissertation examines the director’s construction of cinematic space and the characters’ sense of who they are in relation to Hong Kong in his six films Days of Being Wild, In the Mood for Love, 2046, As Tears Go by, Chungking Express, and Fallen Angels. The investigation of Wong’s use of cinematic space involves the analysis of his selection of location and strategic employment of the mise-en-scène, camera angles, lenses, lighting, and music, which constitute his fictional world. It is my assertion that Wong’s construction of Hong Kong in these films responds to the formation and transformation of identity and showcases the impact of colonialism, modernization, decolonization, globalization, and postmodern culture upon the lives of Hong Kong inhabitants. INDEX WORDS: Wong Kar-wai, Hong Kong, Cinematic space, Identity CINEMATIC HONG KONG OF WONG KAR-WAI by HAIHONG LI B.A., Fu Zhou University, China, 2000 M.A., Truman State University, 2004 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ATHENS, GEORGIA 2012 © 2012 Haihong Li All Rights Reserved CINEMATIC HONG KONG OF WONG KAR-WAI by HAIHONG LI Major Professor: Hyangsoon Yi Committee: Richard Neupert Ronald Bogue Masaki Mori Karim Traore Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia May 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Hyangsoon Yi, who helped me develop research skills and understanding of the subject during the completion of the project.

    Locke Foundation Newsletter 樂居鎮基金會 Preserving Locke’s history and legacy [email protected] Fall 2020 www.locke-foundation.org Dear Friends of the Locke Foundation, Now in existence for nearly two decades, the Locke Foundation contin- ues to expand its programs, activities and offerings to the public. It is our mission to educate the public about the historic legacy of Locke and to tell the stories of California's compelling immigrant experi- ence. While Locke may be a quaint destination for a weekend drive along the meandering Sacramento River, it is a treasure trove of a by- gone era infused with whispers of human resilience and triumph over adversity. The focus on COVID-19 relief aid for urgent needs has come at the expense of smaller nonprofits, especially those supporting the arts and historical preser- vation. Already struggling to maintain operations and provide services amid the pandemic, nonprofits big and small are also facing the challenge of how to keep revenues flowing — difficult even in good times — when they can no longer count on golf tournaments, dinner galas and other charity events. COVID-19 restrictions have shut down traditional fund- raising activities for many nonprofits including the LF which had to cancel its signature events, Locke Asian Pacific Street Festival and particularly its Fall Fundraising Banquet. In order to meet our mission and provide services in our community, we rely on the gener- osity of individuals, organizations and businesses for support. Without their assistance we wouldn't be able to serve the public while accomplishing our mission goals. We ask that you make a commitment to support our annual appeal by making a cash dona- tion.

Palmer 2008 Dedication For Amy… still shining. ii Acknowledgements I have accrued many debts on my intellectual journey to eighteenth-century La Rochelle. This project has received funding support from a number of institutions. The Council for European Studies and the University of Michigan International Institute funded pre-dissertation research. A Bourse Châteaubriand enabled me to spend a year in the archives in La Rochelle. The Michigan Society of Fellows and the Michigan Institute for the Humanities provided support, invaluable critique, and intellectual community while I wrote the dissertation. The Women’s Studies Department at the University of Michigan offered summer support, funding for conferences, and encouragement throughout this process, and the History Department offered fellowship and teaching support. I thank both departments for the diverse academic communities they fostered. I also appreciate the willingness of archivists to share their expertise. In France, archivists at the Archives départementales de la Charente Maritime and the Archives municipales de La Rochelle made every effort to help me in what occasionally seemed a futile search for people of color in the eighteenth century. The Musée du Nouveau Monde kindly opened its collection to me, and gave me permission to reproduce images from it.
