Tzu, The Tao of power: a translation of the Tao te ching by Lao Tzu 1st ed., (New York: Doubleday, 1986) at p. 27. ABSTRACT For people who occupy spaces of privilege, an understanding of the criminal justice system and the prison in particular, often remains a mediated one, understood through news media and fictional narratives. This mediated experience is significant because the prison itself is both a system of surveillance and relatively hidden from the public eyes. This thesis examines the relationship between film and the law by focusing on a particular cultural artifact - women in prison films (WIP). My starting point is that engagement with this relatively obscure sub-genre of popular film can be a powerful impetus to revision law in ways that challenges the criminalization of particular groups of women. Rather than measuring the realism of WIP films, this research provides a more nuanced inquiry which considers the dialogical or intertextual relationship between films about women in prison and the manner in which the criminal law operates in women's lives. I conclude that WIP films may offer ways to imagine the violence of state practices and the inhumanity of total institutions, and suggest broader gender, race, and class injustices that render certain women more vulnerable to criminalization. To this end, attending to the interaction between law and WIP films can enable a more complex picture of the construction of women's victimization and culpability. Bouclin Introduction Introduction Did you ever do anything illegal Maybe Maybe Not Depends on your definition of legal1 Marlene Tromp argues that Victorian sensation fiction interrogates social policies, standards of normality, and morality. Similarly, when fictional film leaves us "feeling vexed, unsettled, discomforted," it "may be providing us with a cue for social change."3 Films can elicit strong emotional responses and can intervene in social and political environments in subtle though sometimes "unwelcoming and even dangerous ways."4 At their best, they "confront what was, what is, what might be, multiply, fluidly, and often in ways that are hard for us to grasp."5 In this thesis, I examine the relationship between film and the law by focusing on women in prison films (hereinafter "WIP"). My starting point is that engagement with this relatively obscure sub-genre of popular film "can be a powerful impetus to reconceptualize law," 6 here in ways that challenge the criminalization of particular groups of women. My overarching question is not whether filmic images reveal anything about the actual conditions of incarcerated women. WIP films, like any other kind, vary in their cultural verisimilitude.

Anne of Green Gables: New Directions at 100. Toronto: University of Toronto Press. Jason Nolan, PhD School of Early Childhood Education Ryerson University Here, too, the ethical responsibility of the school on the social side must be interpreted in the broadest and freest spirit; it is equivalent to that training of the child which will give him such possession of himself that he may take charge of himself; may not only adapt himself to the changes that are going on, but have power to shape and direct them. -- John Dewey1 In L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Avonlea (1909), sixteen-year-old Anne Shirley articulates a progressive pedagogical attitude that seems to coincide with Dewey’s Moral Principles in Education, published the same year: ‘No, if I can’t get along without whipping I shall not try to teach school. There are better ways of managing. I shall try to win my pupils’ affections and then they will want to do what I tell them.’2 Drawing from her own childhood experience depicted in Anne of Green Gables, fledgling teacher Anne describes a schooling experience that would treat the student as she once wished to be treated. As a child, Anne embodied the model of a self-directed learner who actively engaged with her physical and social environment, making meaning and constructing her own identity and understanding of the world, indeed creating a world in which she could live.

    The Complex Anne-Grrrl: A Third Wave Feminist Re-reading of Anne of Green Gables Maria Virokannas University of Tampere English Philology School of Modern Languages and Translation Studies Tampereen yliopisto Englantilainen filologia Kieli- ja käännöstieteenlaitos Virokannas, Maria: The Complex Anne-Grrrl: A Third Wave Feminist Re-reading of Anne of Green Gables Pro gradu -tutkielma, 66 sivua + lähdeluettelo Syksy 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tavoitteena oli selvittää voidaanko Lucy Maud Montgomeryn 1908 ilmestyneestä romaanista Anne of Green Gables löytää kolmannen aallon feminismin piirteitä. Erityisesti tutkin löytyykö romaanista piirteitä ristiriitaisuudesta ja sen omaksumisesta ja individualismin ideologiasta, feministisestä ja positiivisesta äitiydestä sekä konventionaalisen naisellisuuden etuoikeuttamisesta. Tutkielmani teoreettinen kehys muodostuu feministisestä kirjallisuuden tutkimuksesta, painottuen kolmannen aallon feministiseen teoriaan. Erityisesti feminististä äitiyttä tutkittaessa tutkielman kulmakivenä on Adrienne Richin teoria äitiydestä, jota Andrea O'Reilly on kehittänyt. Tämän teorian mukaan äitiys on toisaalta miesten määrittelemä ja kontrolloima, naista alistava instituutio patriarkaalisessa yhteiskunnassa, toisaalta naisten määrittelemä ja naiskeskeinen positiivinen elämys, joka potentiaalisesti voimauttaa naisia. Kolmannen aallon feminismi korostaa eroja naisten välillä ja naisissa itsessään,

All rights reserved. Preface With some hesitation at CBS, Cayuga Productions continued Twilight Zone for what would be its last season, with a thirty-six episode pipeline – a larger count than had been seen since its first year. Producer Bert Granet, who began producing in the previous season, was soon replaced by William Froug as he moved on to other projects. The fifth season has always been considered the weakest and, as one reviewer stated, “undisputably the worst.” Harsh criticism. The lopsidedness of Seasons 4 and 5 – with a smattering of episodes that egregiously deviated from the TZ mold, made for a series much-changed from the one everyone had come to know. A possible reason for this was an abundance of rather disdainful or at least less-likeable characters. Most were simply too hard to warm up to, or at the very least, identify with. But it wasn’t just TZ that was changing. Television was no longer as new a medium. “It was a period of great ferment,” said George Clayton Johnson. By 1963, the idyllic world of the 1950s was disappearing by the day. More grittily realistic and reality-based TV shows were imminent, as per the viewing audience’s demand and it was only a matter of time before the curtain came down on the kinds of shows everyone grew to love in the 50s.

With Mrs. Voorhees with no head and a cliffhanger of an ending, writer Ron Kurz and director Steve Miner had a few roads to travel in unraveling more of the slasher franchise.

  • A History of Looking.’
    GETTING IN ON THE ACT ‘A History of Looking.’ Volume 1. Nichola Cecelia Bird Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Leeds Department of Fine Art September 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. Abstract My research has been a form of retrieval with the starting point often being an original or ‘found’ photograph. I am interested in how ‘documentary’ photography, whether by accident or design, catches and preserves the peripheral. I have been working with a series of ‘historical’ photographs, in which an unidentified individual or group who are ‘peripheral’ to the main point of the photograph, have been ‘caught’ within its frame. The retrieval is in using those ‘unassumed’ parts of the ‘found’ photograph, so they become another source of meaning. The theme of ‘the periphery’ has become the basis for my research, resulting in both artworks and writings. For example, the installation The Fitting and the text A History of Looking are based on a little known photograph of Marilyn Monroe watched by a group of unidentified women. Both outcomes are different kinds of ‘close readings’ of the original image. While the installation is concerned with image, viewer and space, the text investigates the process of memory and speculation; how ‘photography’, 'autobiography’ and ‘history’ are also embroiled with aspects of femininity, consumption and nostalgia. An investigation of an original photograph can take two routes: one in which the camera documents the process or journey – collecting evidence of possible traces of places or people.
