Brno: Masarykova univerzita, Pedagogická fakulta, Katedra anglického jazyka a literatury, 2020. 48 stran. Vedoucí bakalářské práce: Mgr. Irena Headlandová Kalischová, Ph.D. Abstract The title of this thesis is “Comparative Analysis of an NYC Accent as Performed by Non-native NYC Actors”. This accent is one of the most easily recognizable accents of American English, so it is interesting to see what it is about and how it is possible that some actors can imitate an accent that is not natural to them and yet sound natural. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part provides basic information about the differences in pronunciation of standard American English and the specifics of the New York accent. There is also information about accent coaching or mentoring and basic information on how such coaching works. The second part then presents the results of data analysis from pre-selected movie scenes, clearly comparing the selected samples in graphs and tables.

    The Art of Deception: Aesthetics at the Perimeter of Truth HUM 598: Humanistic Perspectives on the Arts Spring 2011; Thursdays, 10am-12:50pm D. Graham Burnett (History/History of Science) Princeton University hat is the relationship between art and falsehood? A significant tradition for W conceptualizing the arts has long defined their sphere by reference to doubling, fantasy, and betrayal: when we are in the realm of art, we have left the kingdom of the real—and our capacity for proper engagement depends to a considerable degree on our ability to maintain (or at least recover) an awareness of this fact. By these lights, the arts function as something like a safe house for lying, an Elysium for those good deceptions willing to declare themselves. But is all this correct? There are excellent reasons to think not. This course takes up the problem of truth and falsehood in the arts in a sustained way: we will sift the genealogy of current theoretical positions on this issue by means of close reading of classical and recent texts; we will investigate works of art (painting, sculpture, poetry, etc.) that engage these matters, with particular attention to gaming at the margins of the seemingly stable categories; we will weigh the political and critical implications of different postures in this large arena; and we will experiment with new perspectives and practices. WEEK 1: Introduction and Organizational Meeting (no reading) WEEK 2: Art and Truth: Confidence Games Herman Melville, The Confidence-Man; His Masquerade, [1857] (There are various suitable editions; I use the Library of America volume, which lumps this novella together with Pierre and various other things, but feel free to read it in any decent copy).

Events of Realing, Mockumentalities and the Becoming-Political of the Viewing Subject. Örebro Studies in Media and Communications 23. This study aims at making inquiry into what happens when a viewing subject encounters a film where it proves difficult to recognize if it is factual or fictional. In order to meet this aim the dissertation offers an experimental approach of both theoretical and methodological nature. Drawing on materialist-affective theory and Deleuzian philosophy a method assemblage for mediamateriality is suggested. This offers a set of conceptual keys that makes it possible to trace the unfolding of actual encounters with blurred boundaries between the factual and the fiction- al. By performing a reception study whereby six data-producers engage with Exit Through the Giftshop, (Banksy 2010), I’m Still Here (Affleck 2010) and Catfish (Joost and Schulman 2010), a three-fold data is pro- duced.

One disserta- tion on Philip K. Dick had already appeared as a book (by Kim Stanley Robinson) and Dick, though I loved his work, just wasn’t that well known or respected (not then). Plus, I was liv- ing in a mud hut and teaching people to use oxen for plowing: how would I ever be able to do the work that would be needed to turn my study from dissertation to book?

Thomas’ world begins to shift when he discovers that his long-married father (Pierce Brosnan) is having an affair with a seductive younger woman (Kate Beckinsale). Determined to break up the relationship, Thomas ends up sleeping with his father’s mistress, launching a chain of events that will change everything he thinks he knows about himself and his family.
