  • Dead Alive, Dead Outside, Alive Inside” “
    24683_U01.qxd 11/15/04 12:53 PM Page 1 Introduction “Dead alive, dead outside, alive inside” “In my thinking, I see that people forgot me.” Catarina said this to me as she sat peddling an old exercise bicycle and holding a doll. This woman of kind manners, with a piercing gaze, was in her early thirties; her speech was lightly slurred. I first met Catarina in March 1997, in southern Brazil at a place called Vita. I remember asking myself: where on earth does she think she is going on this bicycle? Vita is the end- point. Like many others, Catarina had been left there to die. Vita, which means “life” in Latin, is an asylum in Porto Alegre, a com- paratively well-off city of some two million people. Vita was founded in 1987 by Zé das Drogas, a former street kid and drug dealer. After his conversion to Pentecostalism, Zé had a vision in which the Spirit told him to open an institution where people like him could find God and regenerate their lives. Zé and his religious friends squatted on private property near downtown, where they began a makeshift rehabilitation center for drug addicts and al- coholics. Soon, however, the scope of Vita’s mission began to widen. An in- creasing number of people who had been cut off from family life—the men- tally ill and the sick, the unemployed and the homeless—were left there by relatives, neighbors, hospitals, and the police. Vita’s team then opened an in- firmary, where the abandoned waited with death.

THE X-FILES: PAST AND PRESENT PORTRAYALS OF CHINA’S ALIEN “LEGAL SYSTEM” RANDALL PEERENBOOM∗ The celebration of the seventy-fifth birthday of Professor William Jones, long one of the leading China-law scholars and educators in the United States, provides an appropriate occasion to reflect on developments in teaching and researching Chinese law in recent years and to look forward to the future. Critical self-reflection is especially important at this time because China’s legal system has undergone significant changes in the last two and a half decades, creating unique challenges and opportunities for China legal specialists and comparative law scholars. Limited access to China during much of the Mao era and particularly during the Cultural Revolution greatly impaired the ability of legal scholars to do research and understand legal developments.

    TYPOLOGIES OF EVIL IN THE X-FILES BY MAGNE HÅLAND SUPERVISOR: PAUL LEER SALVESEN AND SOLVEIG AASEN UNIVERSITY OF AGDER 2019 FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND EDUCATION DEPARTEMENT OF RELIGION, PHILOSOPHY AND HISTORY 0 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express great appreciation to my supervisors, Professor Paul Leer-Salvesen (University of Agder) and Solveig Aasen, PhD in philosophy (University of Oslo), for their valuable and constructive suggestions during the development of this research work. I would also like to express my deep gratitude to my colleagues at Arendal Upper Secondary School, Steinar Tvedt, Inger Johanne Hermansen, Ane Kristine Bruland and Ida Wullum for their patient guidance and useful critique of my writing in English. Finally, I wish to thank my father, a proud working-class man, for his support and encouragement throughout my whole life. Throughout his life, he was never able to read English. Therefore, he “forced” me to translate my work for him. The Nazi-form of evil with Himmler, Mengele and Eichmann concerned him. Often, he asked me, how could a man (Eichmann) be that blinded? Without my father giving me motivation, I would never have come this far in my studies. 1 CONTENTS ABSTRACT …..5 CHAPTER 1, INTRODUCTION 1.1) General introduction of evil in movies …..6-7 1.2) My Research Question ……7 1.3) A short overview on the typologies of evil …..7-9 1.4) Defining evil …..9-10 1.5) A critique and defense of evil ….10-12 1.6) What is The X-files about? ….12-14 1.7) Why explore The X-Files? …..14-15 CHAPTER 2, METHODS 2.1) Theory and applied ethics …..16-18 2.2) Specific evil episodes as subjects for research and constructing analysis chapters ..18-19 2.3) The importance of using scientific work related to movies and evil …..19-21 2.4) Methodological inspiration for my thesis, work done by Dean A.

  • Jung, the Shadow, and the X-Files
    JUNG, THE SHADOW, AND THE X-FILES By JENIFER JENSEN A capstone submitted to the Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Liberal Studies Written under the direction of Greg Salyer And approved by ______________________________ Greg Salyer Camden, New Jersey May 2019 CAPSTONE ABSTRACT Jung, The Shadow, and The X-Files by Jenifer Jensen Capstone Director: Greg Salyer This capstone explores Jung’s theory of the shadow, personal unconscious, and collective unconscious, using The X-Files as its narrative transport. When television show The X- Files premiered on September 10, 1993, no one anticipated its impact on a generation of television viewers. The X-Files is an American pop cultural mainstay. The paradoxical brilliance of the show is that it both influenced and interpreted popular American culture. Something vital about our time in history speaks through the stories it tells. It is not the only science fiction television show to create legions of fans, spawn movies, books, comics, and general obsession in American geekdom. But it is the only television show which began in 1993, ran for almost a decade, and then returned, fourteen years later with episodes seeking transcendent answers about what it means to be human, and the possibility of knowledge, truth, and power in the era of Trump, fake news and social media. ii 1 Jung, the Shadow, and The X-Files Introduction – The X-Files I am interested in exploring Jung’s theory of the shadow, personal unconscious, and collective unconscious, using The X-Files as its narrative transport.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. “GILLIAN ANDERSON MADE ME GAY:” THE CASE OF THE X-FILES LESBIANS by SAMANTHA HOWAT Under the Direction of Wendy Simonds PhD ABSTRACT The “X-Files” lesbians are an online community of lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and queer (LBPQ) women who attribute the science fiction show and its lead actress, Gillian Anderson, with the discovery of their sexual orientation. Despite her character Dana Scully’s heterosexuality and that the show features no LGBT+ characters, the claim that “Gillian Anderson made me gay” has been a consistent argument made by women in the broader X-Files fan community since the show began airing in the 1990s. I have examined this phenomenon to demonstrate how much television can influence and aid with the construction of female sexuality. Additionally, I have studied the role media plays in identity formation. I collected data via a survey distributed to LBPQ X-Files fans on the blogging website tumblr.
