Notre sélection se limite cependant aux réalisateurs présentement actifs. En effet, il serait impensable dans le cadre d'un dossier comme celui-ci de parler de tous les réalisateurs qui ont oeuvré dans le genre depuis les débuts du cinéma. Par conséquent, la majorité des cinéastes inclus dans cette sélection ont œuvré durant les 25 dernières années. Durant le processus de sélection, certains cinéastes se sont imposés d'emblée (Carpenter, Craven, Hooper, Argento, De Palma), tandis que d'autres ont été retenus pour des raisons spécifiques (quantité des oeuvres produites dans le genre, qualité exceptionnelle d'un film en particulier, signature d'une oeuvre ayant exercé une grande influence, etc.).

[email protected] 812-335-9868 (home) This syllabus is available in alternative formats upon request. Overview The vampire is one of the most popular and enduring images in the world, giving rise to hundreds of monster movies around the globe every year, not to mention novels, short stories, plays, TV shows, and commercial merchandise. Yet the Western vampire image that we know from the film, television, and literature of today is very different from its eastern European progenitor. Nina Auerbach has said that "every age creates the vampire that it needs." In this course we will explore the eastern European origins of the vampire, similar entities in other cultures that predate them, and how the vampire in its look, nature, vulnerabilities, and threat has changed over the centuries. This approach will provide us with the means to learn about the geography, village and urban cultures, traditional social structure, and religions of eastern Europe; the nature and manifestations of Evil and the concept of Limited Good; physical, temporal, and societal boundaries and ritual passage that accompany them; and major historical and intellectual periods (the settlement of Europe, the Age of Reason, Romanticism, Neo-classicism, the Enlightenment, the Victorian era, up to today).

  • State Man Seized by Iraqis
    lA iianrhpstpr HrralJi Weekend Edition, October 27,1990 Voted 1990 New England Newspaper of the Vbar Newsstand Price: 35 Cents State man seized by Iraqis By LAURA KING The Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraqi occupation forces have seized two Americans who had been hiding in Kuwait to avoid capture, Western diplomats disclosed Friday. Uwc Jahnkc, 47, of Washington Depot, Conn., and John Stevenson, 44, of Panama City, Fla., were brought to Baghdad on Oct. 22, a day after their arrest in Kuwait, said the diplomats, who spoke on condition of anonymity. They said the pair was taken to the government-run Mansour-Melia Hotel, where scores of other foreigners are being held. Baghdad has refused to allow thousands of foreigners trapped by Iraq’s Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait to leave. Foreign women and children were eventually allowed to depart, and some men were released at the intervention of officials from their governments. But hundreds of others, including more than 1(X) Americans, were sent to strategic installations to deter a possible attack by U.S.-led multinational forces that as­ sembled in Saudi Arabia after the invasion. Western diplomats were allowed access to the recently captured Americans, tiicy said. “They’re obviously upset at being held by the Iraqi authorities but otherwise they’re just fine,” one diplomat said. The sources said Jahnke had worked with an invest­ ment company in Kuwait and Stevenson was an Raglnald Plnto/ltanch«ator Harald employee of the Bank of Kuwait. GOODBYE TO DAYLIGHT-SAVING — Don’t forget to turn your clock back one hour before Jalmkc’s wife, who refused to give her full name, said in a telephone interview from her Connecticut home that you go to sleep Saturday night or by 2 a.m., Sunday morning, which is when daylight-saving ends.

  • The Zombification of Zombies – from Religious Reality on Haiti to Postmodern Pop Cliché Around the World
    Universität Hildesheim Institut für englische Sprache und Literatur Master-Studiengang für Lehramt an Haupt- und Realschulen The Zombification of Zombies Ð from religious reality on Haiti to postmodern pop cliché around the world Abschlussarbeit zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Master of Education (M.Ed.) Vorgelegt von Peter Handke 1. Betreuer: Dr. Daniel Schäbler 2. Betreuer: Dr. Volker Pietsch Hildesheim, 12.10.2020 Abstract Zombies are omnipresent in the media landscape, and what was once a brutal revolt against mainstream cinema has now zombified itself in the mainstream as cliché. Even social structures are often compared with a zombie metaphor. The fear of the undead, however, is an ancient human concept that was not first encountered through the zombie. It should not be overlooked that zombies and zombification are real, religious phenomena practiced by Haitian black priests called bokors that are much more than just superstition and folklore with the bokors using poisoning to “resurrect” the (apparent) dead. These stories came to Hollywood through travel reports and quickly became part of the cinema world. The origins were quickly forgotten through the countless reinterpretations of zombies. Therefore, in this master’s thesis, I will compare the first zombie film White Zombie (1932), directed by Victor Halperin, with the current work 28 Days Later (2002), directed by Danny Boyle; a different approach to the representation of zombies is the popular cultural perception of the undead. This Master's thesis also provides a selective, yet representative, profile of worldwide and cross-epochal undead and zombie phenomena, motifs, symbolism and offers explanations for the human fears involved.
