Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 The Representation of Reality and Fantasy In the Films of Powell and Pressburger: 1939-1946 This thesis will examine the films planned or made by Powell and Pressburger in this period, with these aims: to demonstrate the way the contemporary realities of wartime Britain (political, social, cultural, economic) are represented in these films, and how the realities of British history (together with information supplied by the Ministry of Information and other government ministries) form the basis of much of their propaganda. to chart the changes in the stylistic combination of realism, naturalism, expressionism and surrealism, to show that all of these films are neither purely realist nor seamless products of artifice but carefully constructed narratives which use fantasy genres (spy stories, rural myths, futuristic utopias, dreams and hallucinations) to convey their message.

  • Hitler's American Model
    Hitler’s American Model The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law James Q. Whitman Princeton University Press Princeton and Oxford 1 Introduction This jurisprudence would suit us perfectly, with a single exception. Over there they have in mind, practically speaking, only coloreds and half-coloreds, which includes mestizos and mulattoes; but the Jews, who are also of interest to us, are not reckoned among the coloreds. —Roland Freisler, June 5, 1934 On June 5, 1934, about a year and a half after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the Reich, the leading lawyers of Nazi Germany gathered at a meeting to plan what would become the Nuremberg Laws, the notorious anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi race regime. The meeting was chaired by Franz Gürtner, the Reich Minister of Justice, and attended by officials who in the coming years would play central roles in the persecution of Germany’s Jews. Among those present was Bernhard Lösener, one of the principal draftsmen of the Nuremberg Laws; and the terrifying Roland Freisler, later President of the Nazi People’s Court and a man whose name has endured as a byword for twentieth-century judicial savagery. The meeting was an important one, and a stenographer was present to record a verbatim transcript, to be preserved by the ever-diligent Nazi bureaucracy as a record of a crucial moment in the creation of the new race regime. That transcript reveals the startling fact that is my point of departure in this study: the meeting involved detailed and lengthy discussions of the law of the United States.

  • A Representação Da Violência Contra O Idoso No Cinema.Docx.Docx
    167 A violência contra os idosos nos filmes The violence against the elderly in films Lucy Gomes Vianna Hugo Henrique Alves Ferreira Josiane Aparecida Duarte Bruna Miclos de Oliveira Cristina S. Cunha Norma D’Albuquerque Augusto Armando José China Bezerra RESUMO: Com o envelhecimento populacional, há necessidade do debate sobre a violência contra a pessoa idosa, com o intuito de esclarecer e conscientizar a população sobre o tema. A utilização de filmes é recurso pedagógico eficaz, contribuindo para a reflexão e o entendimento dessa situação. Objetiva este estudo coletar e analisar imagens em produções cinematográficas que expressem as diferentes formas de violência contra o indivíduo idoso. Como material e método, foi feita análise da filmografia nacional e internacional, identificando cenas em filmes comerciais que retratem a violência contra o idoso. Foram pesquisados alguns sites mais representativos e elencados os filmes que apresentam cenas mostrando diferentes formas de violência contra a pessoa idosa. Como resultados, listaram-se 58 filmes com cenas retratando violência contra os idosos, em suas diferentes formas, sendo: 24 (41%) violência física; 18 (31%) violência psicológica; 14 (24%) violência social; 10 (17%) autonegligência; 10 (17%) abuso econômico; 6 (10%) abandono; 3 (5%) violência sexual; e 3 (5%) negligência. Como conclusão, pode-se afirmar que, utilizando-se da imagética cinematográfica, é possível difundir a problemática e ampliar as instâncias para denúncias de maus-tratos contra os idosos, buscando-se enfocar a cidadania das pessoas idosas, tanto na garantia de seus direitos, como na participação e ressignificação do contexto e das imagens do envelhecimento. Palavras-chave: Idoso; Violência; Filmes. Vianna, L.G., Ferreira, H.H.A., Duarte, J.A., Oliveira, B.M.de, Cunha, C.S., Augusto, N.D’A., & Bezerra, A.J.C.
