  • The Art of David Lynch
    The Art of David Lynch weil das Kino heute wieder anders funktioniert; für ei- nen wie ihn ist da kein Platz. Aber deswegen hat Lynch ja nicht seine Kunst aufgegeben, und nicht einmal das Filmen. Es ist nur so, dass das Mainstream-Kino den Kaperversuch durch die Kunst ziemlich fundamental abgeschlagen hat. Jetzt den Filmen von David Lynch noch einmal wieder zu begegnen, ist ein Glücksfall. Danach muss man sich zum Fernsehapparat oder ins Museum bemühen. (Und grimmig die Propaganda des Künstlers für den Unfug transzendentaler Meditation herunterschlucken; »nobody is perfect.«) Was also ist das Besondere an David Lynch? Seine Arbeit geschah und geschieht nach den »Spielregeln der Kunst«, die bekanntlich in ihrer eigenen Schöpfung und zugleich in ihrem eigenen Bruch bestehen.

Since 2011, the Writing Program conducted travel-based exchanges in partnership with the Deutsches Literaturinstitut Leipzig in Leipzig, Germany; the Scuola Holden in Turin, Italy; the Institut Ramon Llull and Universitat Pompeu Fabra–IDEC in Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain); the Columbia Global Center | Middle East in Amman, Jordan; Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C.; and the University of the Arts Helsinki in Helsinki, Finland. Starting in 2016, the Word for Word program expanded to include a collaborative translation workshop running parallel to the exchanges, in which Writing Program students, over the course of one semester, translate work by their partners at some of these same institutions – the Deutsches Literaturinstitut Leipzig and Scuola Holden–as well as some new ones: Université Paris 8 in Paris, France; New York University’s Creative Writing in Spanish MFA Program; and the Instituto Vera Cruz in São Paulo, Brazil.

FILM, RELAY, AND SYSTEM: A SYSTEMS THEORY APPROACH TO CINEMA by Thomas Schur A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee August 2013 ABSTRACT FILM, RELAY, AND SYSTEM: A SYSTEMS THEORY APPROACH TO CINEMA by Thomas Schur The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2013 Under the Supervision of Professor Tasha Oren Film theory is replete with references to systems, yet no theory has emerged to provide a cohesive explanation of how cinema, as both technology and institution, operates as a relay system. Interdisciplinary in nature, my dissertation proposes a systems theory of cinema deriving largely from the work of social scientist Niklas Luhmann. Systems theory is especially productive for the ways that it intervenes at crucial sites of conflict and irresolution within film studies. With its emphasis on nonhuman agencies, systems theory calls for reappraisal of the significance of the human to the cinema apparatus—a significance long assumed to be simply a given.

  • Aural Skills I Toby Rush Using Solfege, Transcribe the Vocal Parts To
    Assignment #1 Name ___________________________ Aural Skills I Toby Rush Using solfege, transcribe the vocal parts to “e Sidewalks Of New York,” by James W. Blake and Charles B. Lawlor, as performed by Larry Groce on the Walt Disney album series Children’s Favorite Songs. Groce’s recording of this early-twentieth-century popular song omits the verses included in the original, and features the chorus song twice through. While the original was written in past tense, as a nostalgic remembrance of Blake’s childhood in the 1890s, Groce uses present tense (“e tots sing” and “Trip the light fantastic” rather than “e tots sang” and “Tripped the light fantastic”) to invite the listener into the scene. Complete the transcription in the chart on the following page. You need only transcribe the melody as sung by Groce; you do not need to notate the harmonies sung by the children’s chorus. Larry Groce: East Side, West Side, all a- round the town e tots sing “ring- a ro- sie,” “Lon- don Bridge is fall- ling down” Boys and girls to- geth- er, me and Ma- mie O’- Rourke Trip the light fan- tas- tic on the side- walks of New York Assignment #2 Name ___________________________ Aural Skills I Toby Rush Transcribe the rhythm of the melody of “Come ou Fount Of Every Blessing,” by Robert Robinson, as performed by Suan Stevens on the album Hark!
