Kapsis, Kathie Coblentz, eds. (Univ. of Mississippi Press, 1999) • Clint Eastwood, Actor and Director: New Perspecitves, Leonard Engel, ed. (Univ. of Utah Press, 2007) Reading Packet (available at Jenn’s on 26th and Guadalupe) • Additional required readings are included in a reading packet Other miscellaneous readings, etc., will be posted on the course blog (see below). Screenings: • Required "lab" (CinemaTexas) screenings in CMA 3.116 on Wednesdays at 7:30pm. • Recommended screenings: Note that there are a number of recommended screenings (one per week) throughout the semester. While these are not required, they will be covered in lectures. All are readily available via Netflix, VOD, etc. You are encouraged to screen these films on your own. Course blog: A website for the course has been created at http://rtfeastwood.wordpress.com. This blog will be utilized for a range of course‐related activities and assignments, including a least four posts in the course of the semester – “thought pieces” of 400‐600 words responding to a specific film or reading or issue raised in class lectures and discussions. (This assignment will be outlined in more detail in a separate handout.) 2 Course description: This course examines the career of Clint Eastwood, from his rise to stardom in Sergio Leone's "spaghetti Westerns" and the iconic Dirty Harry films, through his steady development as an important filmmaker in his own right (and a distinctive “hyphenate” producer‐director‐ star), to his eventual status as a celebrated auteur with films like Unforgiven, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Letters from Iwo Jima, et al. While the structure of the course will be historical (and chronological), the main thrust will be critical and analytical, combining various approaches – principally star, genre, and auteur analysis; narrative and textual analysis; and theories of gender and sexuality. We also will consider how Eastwood's career as both star and filmmaker relates to the development of the Hollywood movie industry at large over the past half‐century, as well as the concurrent development of independent American film. This is a major writing component course and thus the brunt of the work will involve critical writing, including several blog posts, a major research paper and in‐class essay final. There will be a moderate amount of reading for the course as well (roughly 20‐40 pages per class meeting), along with weekly required and recommended screenings. You are expected to attend all class meetings and required screenings, to keep up with the readings, and to demonstrate your command of these materials (and the lectures) in our class discussions as well as your writing. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Schedule of class meetings, reading assignments, and screenings: Tues (1/18) intro course Wed (1/19)

    H3200 HEARTBREAK RIDGE (USA, 1986) (Other titles: Gunny; Le maitre de guerre) Credits: director, Clint Eastwood ; writer, James Carabatsos. Cast: Clint Eastwood, Martha Mason, Everett McGill, Moses Gunn. Summary: War melodrama set in 1983 in the U.S. and Grenada. There are no more wars to fight, but Gunnery Sergeant Tom Highway (Eastwood) still has a lot of fight left in him. He is on his last tour of duty before retirement, a battle- scarred veteran of Korea (Medal of Honor winner) and Vietnam going nose- to-nose with irreverent recruits and eyeball-to-eyeball with incompetent officers. He is also a closet romantic hoping to rekindle a relationship with his ex-wife (Mason). He is tested one final time as he leads his recon platoon in the 1983 U.S. invasion of Grenada.

  • 'Pale Rider' Is Clint Eastwood's First Western Film Since He Starred in and Directed "The Outlaw Josey Wales" in 1976
    'Pale Rider' is Clint Eastwood's first Western film since he starred in and directed "The Outlaw Josey Wales" in 1976. Eastwood plays a nameless stranger who rides into the gold rush town of LaHood, California and comes to the aid of a group of independent gold prospectors who are being threatened by the LaHood mining corporation. The independent miners hold claims to a region called Carbon Canyon, the last of the potentially ore-laden areas in the county. Coy LaHood wants to dredge Carbon Canyon and needs the independent miners out LaHood hires the county marshal, a gunman named Stockburn with six deputies, to get the job done. What neither LaHood nor Stockburn could possibly have taken into consideration is the appearance of the enigmatic horseman and the fate awaiting them. This study guide attempts to place 'Pale Rider' within the Western genre and also within the canon of Eastwood's films. We would suggest that the work on Film genre and advertising are completed before students see 'Pale Rider'. FILM GENRE The word "genre" might well be unfamiliar to you. It is a French word which means "type" and so when we talk of film genre we mean type of film. The western is one particular genre which we will be looking at in detail in this study guide. What other types of genre are there in film? Horror is one. Task One Write a list of all the different film genres that you can think of. When you have done this, try to write a list of genres that you might find in literature.

  • The Squad Leader Makes the Difference
    The Squad Leader Makes the Difference Readings on Combat at the Squad Level Volume I Lieutenant M.M. Obalde and Lieutenant A.M. Otero United States Marine Corps Marine Corps Warfighting Lab Marine Corps Combat Development Command Quantico, Virginia 22134 August 1998 1 United States Marine Corps Marine Corps Warfighting Lab Marine Corps Combat Development Command Quantico, Virginia 22134 May 1998 FOREWORD In combat, the actions of individual leaders affect the outcome of the entire battle. Squad leaders make decisions and take actions which can affect the operational and strategic levels of war. Well-trained squad leaders play an important role as combat decisionmakers on the battlefield. Leaders who show initiative, judgment, and courage will achieve decisive results not only at the squad level, but in the broader context of the battle. Without competent squad leaders, capable of carrying out a commander’s intent, even the best plans are doomed to failure. This publication illustrates how bold, imaginative squad leaders impact the outcome of a battle or campaign. The historical examples here represent some of the cases in which squad leaders were able to change the course of history. In each case, the squad leader had to make a quick decision without direct orders, act independently, and accept responsibility for the results. Short lessons are presented at the end of each story. These lessons should help you realize how important your decisions are to your Marines and your commander. In combat, you must think beyond the squad level. You must develop opportunities for your commander to exploit. Your every action must support your commander’s intent.

    Journal of Criminal Justice and Law Review : Vol. 1 • No. 1 • June 2009 IDENTIFYING LARGE REPLICABLE FILM POPULATIONS IN SOCIAL SCIENCE FILM RESEARCH: A UNIFIED FILM POPULATION IDENTIFICATION METHODOLOGY FRANKLIN T. WILSON Indiana State University ABSTRACT: Historically, a dominant proportion of academic studies of social science issues in theatrically released films have focused on issues surrounding crime and the criminal justice system. Additionally, a dominant proportion has utilized non-probability sampling methods in identifying the films to be analyzed. Arguably one of the primary reasons film studies of social science issues have used non-probability samples may be that no one has established definitive operational definitions of populations of films, let alone develop datasets from which researchers can draw. In this article a new methodology for establishing film populations for both qualitative and quantitative research–the Unified Film Population Identification Methodology–is both described and demonstrated. This methodology was created and is presented here in hopes of expand the types of film studies utilized in the examination of social science issues to those communication theories that require the examination of large blocks of media. Further, it is anticipated that this methodology will help unify film studies of social science issues in the future and, as a result, increase the reliability, validity, and replicability of the said studies.

Mass media research conducted in the academic realm has generally been theoretical in nature, utilizing public data, with research agendas emanating from the academic researchers themselves. Academic studies cover a gambit of areas including, but not limited to, antisocial and prosocial effects of specific media content, uses and gratifications, agenda setting by the media, and the cultivation of perceptions of social reality (Wimmer & Dominick, 2003).
