  • Drafting Disney for Victory: Animation, Propaganda, and Political Resistance, 1941-1942
    DRAFTING DISNEY FOR VICTORY: ANIMATION, PROPAGANDA, AND POLITICAL RESISTANCE, 1941-1942 by John Michael Gregory A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2019 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Mark Wilson, Thesis Director ______________________________ Dr. Peter Thorsheim ______________________________ Dr. David Johnson ©2019 John Michael Gregory ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT JOHN MICHAEL GREGORY. Drafting Disney for Victory: Animation, Propaganda, and Political Resistance, 1941-1942. (Under the direction of DR. MARK WILSON) History has forgotten animation, and film companies are often complicit in failing to acknowledge its influence on our social and cultural history. Walt Disney came of age in the film industry during the Golden Age of Hollywood, an era that coincided with a world stage set for war and conflict. The threat of Nazi Germany was felt both home and abroad, and the United States struggled with indecision on whether or not to support its European allies or remain isolationist. When the Second World War began, the American response was lukewarm with Lend-Lease being the only acceptable political means of interference in the European conflict. Walt Disney, struggling over lack of profits due to war-related distribution overseas, sought US Government contracts for morale and instructional films to keep his company afloat and his artists paid. Though Disney’s popularity and success in Hollywood in the late 1930s should have made him an easy sell to politicians, he was largely met with distrust over questions of cost and the future viability of animation in government use.

  • Pressioni Facciali Di Wink E I Movimenti Della Sua Mano Tipo-Arma (Con Mazza Incorporata) Venivano Controllati Via Radio Dai ‚Burattinai‘
    Note di produzione Nel 2004, il visionario regista e sceneggiatore GUILLERMO DEL TORO ha portato sul grande schermo l’eroe del fumetto di MIKE MIGNOLA Hellboy (RON PERLMAN di Blade II, Alien: la clonazione). Il muscolosissimo agente segreto, con tanto di corna, coda e caratteraccio, era un Signor nessuno che sarebbe diventato il favorito di tanti ragazzi a appassionati del genere in tutto il mondo, compreso del Toro. Del Toro ha fatto conoscere il riluttante combattente del crimine ad un pubblico globale con la pellicola Hellboy, e lo spirito del film, le splendide scene d‘azione e gli ingegnosi effetti speciali lo hanno trasformato in un successo commerciale e di critica apprezzato sia dagli amanti del fumetto che dal pubblico in genere. L’odissea epica del cineasta continua con l‘action-thriller Hellboy: The Golden Army, film che segue il suo capolavoro del 2006, vincitore di tre Oscar® Il labirinto del fauno. Con muscoli più grandi, armi più potenti, moltitudini di mostri e un piccolo conflitto domestico, ritorna il nostro eroe rosso amante dei gattini. E questa volta prenderà a calci nel sedere molti più cattivi. Hellboy combatte la giusta battaglia quando il dovere lo chiama attraverso il suo ‚datore di lavoro‘: il top-secret Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (Istituto per la Ricerca e Difesa del Paranormale - un’agenzia clandestina creata nel 1943 da Roosevelt che utilizza tecnologie segrete, poteri misteriosi e una rete di operativi con poteri fuori dal comune per difendere il mondo dai più violenti esseri soprannaturali — noto anche come B.P.R.D. Preferirebbe di gran lunga starsene rilassato a fumare un sigaro, bere una birra confezione da sei, con la sua pirocinetica fidanzata Liz Sherman (SELMA BLAIR di La rivincita delle bionde, In Good Company) e i loro innumerevoli gatti.

    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • Abstract Taiwanese Identity and Transnational Families
    ABSTRACT TAIWANESE IDENTITY AND TRANSNATIONAL FAMILIES IN THE CINEMA OF ANG LEE Ting-Ting Chan, Ph.D. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2017 Scott Balcerzak, Director This dissertation argues that acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee should be regarded as a Taiwanese transnational filmmaker. Thus, to best understand his work, a Taiwanese sociopolitical context should be employed to consider his complicated national identity as it is reflected in his films across genres and cultures. Previous Ang Lee studies see him merely as a transnational Taiwanese-American or diasporic Chinese filmmaker and situate his works into a broader spectrum of either Asian-American culture or Chinese national cinema. In contrast, this dissertation argues his films are best understood through a direct reference to Taiwan’s history, politics, and society. The chapters examine eight of Lee’s films that best explain his Taiwanese national identity through different cultural considerations: Pushing Hands (1992) and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) are about maternity; The Wedding Banquet (1993) and Brokeback Mountain (2005) consider homosexuality; The Ice Storm (1997) and Taking Woodstock (2009) represent a collective Taiwanese view of America; and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Lust, Caution (2007) reflect and challenge traditions of Taiwan Cinema. The eight films share three central leitmotifs: family, a sympathetic view of cultural outsiders, and a sympathy for the losing side. Through portraying various domestic relations, Lee presents archetypal families based in filial piety, yet at the same time also gives possible challenges represented by a modern era of equal rights, liberalism, and individualism – which confront traditional Taiwanese-Chinese family views.
