  • Belarusians' Views on the Political Crisis
    Belarusians’ views on the political crisis Results of a public opinion poll conducted between 14 and 20 January 2021 Notes on methodology We surveyed a total of 926 respondents between 14 and 20 January 2021. Our sample’s composition corresponds to the general structure of Belarus's urban population in terms of gender, age, and the size of respondents’ town of residence. The poll was conducted using the Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) method, which in practice means that it was limited to internet users. Although various sources claim that only 75–82 percent of the population of Belarus use the web, internet users do remain more economically and socially active. Therefore, despite the fact that our sample has been weighted to accurately reflect the make-up of Belarusian society, it is possible that support for Lukashenka and his policies may be slightly higher than this poll indicates, as Lukashenka's supporters tend to be less socially and economically active than his detractors. We selected the CAWI method because the repressive nature of Belarusian legislation, as well additional risks faced by the researchers who collaborated for this study, make face-to-face interviews impossible. The statistical margin of error of our sample of 926 people (with a 95 percent confidence level) does not exceed 3.22%. All answers of all respondents are available as a SAV file.

THE SOUTH ACCORDING TO QUENTIN TARANTINO A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture The University of Mississippi by MICHAEL LEE HENLEY August 2015 Copyright Michael Lee Henley 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This thesis explores the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s portrayal of the South and southerners in his films Pulp Fiction (1994), Death Proof (2007), and Django Unchained (2012). In order to do so, it explores and explains Tarantino’s mixture of genres, influences, and filmmaking styles in which he places the South and its inhabitants into current trends in southern studies which aim to examine the South as a place that is defined by cultural reproductions, lacking authenticity, and cultural distinctiveness. Like Godard before him, Tarantino’s movies are commentaries on film history itself. In short, Tarantino’s films actively reimagine the South and southerners in a way that is not nostalgic for a “southern way of life,” nor meant to exploit lower class whites.

  • A CRITICAL ANALYSIS of the USE of SOUND EFFECTS and MUSIC in CONTEMPORARY NARRATIVE FILM a Thesis Presented To
    TON & TRAUM: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF SOUND EFFECTS AND MUSIC IN CONTEMPORARY NARRATIVE FILM A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Dennis C. Schweitzer November 2004 This thesis entitled TON & TRAUM: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF SOUND EFFECTS AND MUSIC IN CONTEMPORARY NARRATIVE FILM by Dennis C. Schweitzer has been approved by the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ruth Bradley Associate Professor of Film Raymond Tymas-Jones Dean, College of Fine Arts SCHWEITZER, DENNIS C. M.A. November 2004. Film Ton & Traum: A Critical Analysis Of The Use Of Sound Effects And Music In Contemporary Narrative Film (87 pp.) Director of Master of Arts Thesis: Ruth Bradley We often talk about the mysterious Magic of the Movies, the unique ability of the filmic medium to take the audience into another world, another era, even another galaxy. We also talk about film’s unique ability to record life as it happens and to document what is going on in our world, be it right where we live or at the most remote place on Earth. But whenever we look at film as an art form, most of us tend to exclusively credit the visual component of the film, i.e. cinematography, topped off with the occasional thought on editing. The sonic component of film, however, is unjustly ignored most of the time. Sure, we know the name Hans Zimmer from Gladiator or Danny Elfman from Batman and most recently Spider-Man 2, but how many of us know who recorded the location sound on Master and Commander? The goal of Ton & Traum is to give the film-soundtrack the credit it deserves.
