  • The Hero and Villain Binary in the Western Film Genre
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The Hero and Villain Binary in the Western Film Genre A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Masters of Arts In Media Studies At Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Christine Maria Cook 2012 i Abstract The Western hero has been an established film icon since the early 1900s and the particular brand of masculinity he embodies has represented a set of values and beliefs around what it means to be a man in American society. These resonated into other countries such as New Zealand where this representation also became an accepted view of manhood. Based on a colonialist ideology, the cowboy hero’s original role in the frontier of the Hollywood Western was to protect the new settlers and to remove any barriers to their settlement. The first of these was the Native American who was presented as an uncivilised savage to justify conquest. Conflicts such as these created the use of binary oppositions that became an established part of the Western narrative as they provided a contrast between civilisation and wilderness, and good and evil. These oppositions could also take the form of a villain or ideological perspective that didn’t fit the ethos of the frontier life the hero was protecting. Throughout its history, there have been many adaptations and changes made to Western film genre to keep its relevance but the white male figure of the hero has remained a constant presence.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. Robert Stam’s 1989 book Subversive Pleasures: Bakhtin, Cultural Criticism and Film (1989) remains the most coherent attempt to date for the establishment of both a rationale and a methodology for a Bakhtinian approach to fi lm. Stam’s own intellectual agenda, however, leads him more to linguistic matters, both in Bakhtinian theory and in cinematic expression. He is interested both in fi lm as language (invoking, as I do in Chapter 1, the theoretical paradigm of Christian Metz) and in language content and representation within fi lm (issues of translation, dubbing and so on). Thus, the chief Bakhtinian concepts utilized in his study are dialogism, heteroglossia and carnival (with a nod towards matters polyphonic and chronotopic), whereas my more narrative and reception-inclined agenda is concentrated around dialogism, the chronotope and polyphony, ideas which have more to say about narrative as construct and event. Stam has thus been less directly infl uential on the production of the present study than valuable as a dialogically friendly ‘fellow traveller’. R. Barton Palmer’s article (1989) deserves to be fl agged as a piece that carefully and critically sets out ways in which a number of Bakhtinian categories can have salience for fi lm studies. Scholars who have worked, sometimes very effectively, along the lines of deriving from Bakhtin general approaches to broad topics such as dialogic intertextuality or language, and applying them in fi lmic contexts, include Stadler (2003), Thornton (1996) and McWilliams (2001). Two notable essays that fi nd a rich fi t between the chronotope and specifi c time- space confi gurations (early 1990s ‘hood fi lms’ and art cinema, respectively) are Massood (2003) and Alexander (2007).

  • BUSTER KEATON Salvador Sáinz
    BUSTER KEATON Salvador Sáinz Prólogo La figura del gran Buster Keaton está actualmente un poco olvidada ya que las últimas generaciones de espectadores no es demasiado cinéfila y está más acostumbrada al cine (?) de la última hornada. El cinéfilo refinado, sibarita, está en crisis y los amantes del cine mudo padecen de sequía en los “video-clubs”, donde muy rara vez y con cuentagotas se encuentran aquellos títulos míticos que tanto nos interesan. Años atrás, sobretodo a partir de los años 30, Keaton sufrió un eclipse debido al culto excesivo que se hacía entonces al gran Charles Chaplin. Por si fuera poco, en España, se le conocía por un horrible apodo, “Pamplinas”, del cual prefiero no hablar por que lo considero sumamente vulgar. Después están los falsos mitos que siempre han rodeado la filmografía de Buster Keaton. Por ejemplo, que estuvo encerrado varios años en un manicomio lo cual es completamente falso. Si es cierto que tenía una excesiva afición al juego y a la bebida que terminaron por destruir su reputación y su carrera. Puesto en la “lista negra” por Louis B.Mayer, ningún estudio quería darle trabajo condenándolo a un ostracismo injusto. Aquí se ha escrito mucha (mala) literatura al respecto. Mayer y Keaton tuvieron problemas personales y diferencias respecto a lo que debía ser un buen film cómico sonoro. El tiempo le ha dado la razón a éste, porque los cómicos que el zar Mayer aupó hoy no son más que un recuerdo. ¿Quién se acuerda hoy de Eddie Cantor o de Jimmy Durante por citar a alguien? Al llegar el sonoro a Keaton le reprocharon tener una voz ronca, muy grave, y Mayer le quiso marginar para proteger a Jimmy Durante, quién tenía una voz aún más ronca, y pretendieron encerrarle en las comedias de boulevard importadas desde Broadway en vez de desarrollar películas más estrictamente cinematográficas que los talkies de aquella década.

And as happy as I was to revisit them, is it bad to hope that we can get even more in the future? One of the things I like about her is that she is tough but also kind, and is still cautious about trusting others. Not everyone thinks humanity should be saved, though, and Trisk must fight the prejudices of two societies to prove not only that humanity does have something to offer but also that long-accepted beliefs against women, dark magic, and humanity itself can turn to understanding; that when people are at their worst, the best show their true strength; and that love can hold the world together as a new balance is found. Mar 14, Janet Robel rated it really liked it. His thin hand, calloused from the security arts, felt rough as he tucked away a strand of her hair that had escaped the clip. Being a huge Hollows fan I was very eager to get the story behind the turn which is why I didn't even hesitate to pick The Turn up.
