Summary This thesis examines the philosophical notion of selfhood in visual representation. I introduce the self as a modern and postmodern concept and argue that there is a loss of selfhood in contemporary culture. Via Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, Gerhard Richter and the method of deconstruction of language, I theorise selfhood through the figurative and literal analysis of duration, the frame, and the mirror.

  • Carnivora, Mammalia) in the Blancan of North America
    THE PEARCE-SELLARDS Series NUMBER 19 THE GENUS DINOFELIS (CARNIVORA, MAMMALIA) IN THE BLANCAN OF NORTH AMERICA by BJORN KURTEN Submitted for publication May 30, 1972 TEXAS MEMORIAL MUSEUM / 24TH & TRINITY / AUSTIN, TEXAS W. W. NEWCOMB, JR., DIRECTOR The Genus Dinofelis (Carnivora, Mammalia) in the Blancan of North America Bjorn Kurten* INTRODUCTION The Blanco fauna was described by Meade (1945), who created the new on a felid species Panthera palaeoonca , based skull and associated mandible. Comparing the new species with members of the genera Panthera and Felis, he concluded that it showed close affinity to the jaguar. This has been tenta- tively accepted by later workers (Savage, 1960). The species forms the basis for the record of the genus Panthera in the Blancan of North America. A restudy of the material in 1971 led to the discovery in the collections of the Texas Memorial Museum at the University of Texas at Austin, of an additional, better preserved specimen (an upper canine) which clearly did not belong to Panthera or Felis but showed close affinity to the genus Dino- felis which has hitherto only been recorded from the Old World. Checking back on the type skull and mandible, the reference to Dinofelis could be fully substantiated. I wish to express my gratitude to Drs. John A. Wilson and Ernest L. Lundelius, the University of Texas at Austin, for the opportunity to study collections in their care. The abbreviation TMM is used to signify collections of the Texas Memorial Museum, the University of Texas at Austin. These were formerly in the collections of the Bureau of Economic Geology and in previous reports bore the prefix BEG.

Na wczesnym etapie ewolucji, drapieżne podzieliły się (ryc. 1) na psokształtne (Caniformia) oraz kotokształtne (Feliformia).

Tym, co w rzeczywistości dzieli te dwie grupy na poziomie anatomicznym jest budowa komory ucha środkowego (bulla tympanica, łac.; ryc. 2). U drapieżnych komora ta jest budowa przede wszystkim przez dwie kości – tylną kaudalną kość entotympaniczną i kość ektotympaniczną.

    BFI Media Conference 2014 Teaching Documentary - Mark Piper WJEC Film Studies GCE Specification (from 2010) FM4: VARIETIES OF FILM EXPERIENCE – ISSUES AND DEBATES This unit contributes to synoptic assessment. Understanding will be fostered through: - studying complex films from different contexts, extending knowledge of the diversity of film and its effects - exploring spectatorship issues in relation to a particular type of film - applying key concepts and critical approaches (b) Spectatorship and Documentary: The study of the impact on the spectator of different kinds of documentary – for example, the overtly persuasive and the apparently observational film. Examples may be taken from both historical (such as 30s and 40s British Documentary or 60s Cinéma Verité) and contemporary examples, including work on video. A minimum of two feature-length documentaries should be studied for this topic. AQA Media Studies Specification (from 2015) UNIT 1 – MEST1 – INVESTIGATING MEDIA The aim of this unit is to enable candidates to investigate the media by applying media concepts to a range of media products in order to reach an understanding of how meanings and responses are created. Candidates will firstly investigate a wide range of media texts to familiarise themselves with media language and media codes and conventions and then embark upon a cross-media study. The cross-media study The knowledge and understanding of media concepts and contexts gained through the investigation and comparison of individual media texts will then be developed by making a detailed case study chosen from a range of topics. Centres should choose a topic area that communicates with audiences across the media platforms; a topic which includes media products that can be classified, perhaps loosely, as a genre.

  • A Contextual Review of the Carnivora of Kanapoi
    A contextual review of the Carnivora of Kanapoi Lars Werdelin1* and Margaret E. Lewis2 1Department of Palaeobiology, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Box 50007, S-10405 Stockholm, Swe- den; [email protected] 2Biology Program, School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Stockton University, 101 Vera King Farris Drive, Galloway, NJ 08205, USA; [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract The Early Pliocene is a crucial time period in carnivoran evolution. Holarctic carnivoran faunas suffered a turnover event at the Miocene-Pliocene boundary. This event is also observed in Africa but its onset is later and the process more drawn-out. Kanapoi is one of the earliest faunas in Africa to show evidence of a fauna that is more typical Pliocene than Miocene in character. The taxa recovered from Kanapoi are: Torolutra sp., Enhydriodon (2 species), Genetta sp., Helogale sp., Homotherium sp., Dinofelis petteri, Felis sp., and Par- ahyaena howelli. Analysis of the broader carnivoran context of which Kanapoi is an example shows that all these taxa are characteristic of Plio-Pleistocene African faunas, rather than Miocene ones. While some are still extant and some went extinct in the Early Pleistocene, Parahyaena howelli is unique in both originating and going extinct in the Early Pliocene. Keywords: Africa, Kenya, Miocene, Pliocene, Pleistocene, Carnivora Introduction Dehghani, 2011; Werdelin and Lewis, 2013a, b). In Kanapoi stands at a crossroads of carnivoran this contribution we will investigate this pattern and evolution. The Miocene –Pliocene boundary (5.33 its significance in detail. Ma: base of the Zanclean Stage; Gradstein et al., 2012) saw a global turnover among carnivores (e.g., Material and methods Werdelin and Turner, 1996).

  • Endemism and Migration in the Kochkor Basin? Identification and Description of Adcrocuta Eximia (Mammalia: Carnivora: Hyaenidae) and C.F
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Endemism and migration in the Kochkor Basin? Identification and description of Adcrocuta eximia (Mammalia: Carnivora: Hyaenidae) and c.f. Paramachaerodus (Mammalia: Carnivora: Felidae) fossils at the Miocene locality of Ortok, Kyrgyzstan Sophie A. Miller, Paul Z. Barrett, Win N.F. McLaughlin, and Samantha S.B. Hopkins ABSTRACT Dentition from a Miocene hyaenid and a saber-toothed felid are described from the Chu Formation of Kyrgyzstan. Identified as Adcrocuta eximia (UOMNH F-70508) and c.f. Paramachaerodus (UOMNH F-70509), these represent one of the only formal- ized descriptions of fossil taxa from the Miocene in Kyrgyzstan. These specimens were recovered from the Ortok locality at the northwestern corner of the Kochkor Basin, the youngest of the known bone-bed localities in the Chu Formation. Using bio- and mag- netostratigraphy, the Chu Formation is attributed to the late Miocene to Pliocene, deposited approximately at 8 to 4 Ma. The Adcrocuta specimen consists of a partial dentary with condylar and angular processes, one upper, five lower teeth, and the par- tial root and alveoli of a fifth mandibular tooth. The c.f. Paramachaerodus specimen includes a partial M1, P4, and C1, and exhibits the features of the “scimitar-toothed” machairodontines. Preserved diagnostic characters place the Kyrgyz specimen closest to P. ogygia, although with certain features similar to that of P. transasiaticus, such as incipient crenulations on the canine. However, the age of the Kyrgyz specimen, approximately 6 Ma, is substantially younger than what is known for either of these taxa. We therefore hypothesize this Paramachaerodus specimen could be evidence of an endemic taxon in Kyrgyzstan from earlier migrating Asian species, potentially due to geological uplift with the Tien Shan Mountains.

  • Nicolas Philibert: the Future's Orange
    Catherine Shoard Thursday 27 January 2011 'Nénette is like the Mona Lisa' … Philibert, left, and his star. Photograph: Thomas Coex/Getty Nicolas Philibert: the future's orange An elderly orangutan is the star of Etre et Avoir director Nicolas Philibert's new documentary. But the real action is going on outside the cage, he tells Catherine Shoard We're in Paris's Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes, beside the Seine, off the Boulevard St Germain, on a perishing morning. Outside, in pens whose size testifies to the place's age (built in 1794), an ostrich hammers at the frost. A yak snorts. Doleful? Or just cold? Philibert, 60, smiles and shrugs and hops gently from foot to foot, trying to keep warm, and to coax his star from her shell. The zoo's ape house, unlike the rest of the premises, is built like a ballroom. But while visitors have ample space to run riot, the primates crouch in cages fringing the perimeter. He suspects the depression we detect from Nénette, the 41-year-old orangutan centre-screen for all 70 minutes of his latest documentary– which shares her name – is a projection of our own emotions. "People think that they'll see monkeys and have fun," he says. "They associate them with acrobats and mischief. But after half a minute here, they stop looking. Because they are struck by something more tragic. They start thinking about the situation of these animals in the wild and about what we are doing with our planet." The film (low on the eco moralising, by the way) shows us long, semi-hypnotic shots of Nénette, swaddled in a blanket or sucking apples or grooming her son, Tubo.

  • A New Machairodont from the Palmetto Fauna (Early Pliocene) of Florida, with Comments on the Origin of the Smilodontini (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae)
    A New Machairodont from the Palmetto Fauna (Early Pliocene) of Florida, with Comments on the Origin of the Smilodontini (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) Steven C. Wallace1*, Richard C. Hulbert Jr.2 1 Department of Geosciences, Don Sundquist Center of Excellence in Paleontology, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee, United States of America, 2 Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, United States of America Abstract South-central Florida’s latest Hemphillian Palmetto Fauna includes two machairodontine felids, the lion-sized Machairodus coloradensis and a smaller, jaguar-sized species, initially referred to Megantereon hesperus based on a single, relatively incomplete mandible. This made the latter the oldest record of Megantereon, suggesting a New World origin of the genus. Subsequent workers variously accepted or rejected this identification and biogeographic scenario. Fortunately, new material, which preserves previously unknown characters, is now known for the smaller taxon. The most parsimonious results of a phylogenetic analysis using 37 cranio-mandibular characters from 13 taxa place it in the Smilodontini, like the original study; however, as the sister-taxon to Megantereon and Smilodon. Accordingly, we formally describe Rhizosmilodon fiteae gen. et sp. nov. Rhizosmilodon, Megantereon, and Smilodon ( = Smilodontini) share synapomorphies relative to their sister-taxon Machairodontini: serrations smaller and restricted to canines; offset of P3 with P4 and p4 with m1; complete verticalization of mandibular symphysis; m1 shortened and robust with widest point anterior to notch; and extreme posterior ‘‘lean’’ to p3/p4. Rhizosmilodon has small anterior and posterior accessory cusps on p4, a relatively large lower canine, and small, non-procumbent lower incisors; all more primitive states than in Megantereon and Smilodon.
