    Gateway 100 – section 26 – Jewish Humor Instructor Irv Epstein Office Hours:Tuesday, Thursday: 1:00 – 3:30 pm and by appointment. Office Telephone: 556-3098 Home Telephone: 454-7937 e-mail: [email protected] Course Rationale All instructors who teach gateway seminars are committed to the teaching of critical thinking through the writing process. We will attempt to accomplish that goal in this course through learning about Jewish humor. Our explorations will focus upon the nature and social functions of humor, the ways in which humor can be used to express religious and cultural values, and how in analyzing humor, we can gain a better understanding of issues of identity, assimilation and acceptance, issues that confront many immigrant groups. Course Goals 1. Students will develop those critical thinking skills involved in the process of argumentation that include: constructing thesis statements, analyzing premises and conclusions, evaluating evidence, and weighing completing claims. 2. Students will react to different forms of writing that represent different fields of study including oral history, social theory, the social sciences, and literature. 3. Students will through the processes of peer review and large group interaction, evaluate each other’s writing for the purposes of expediting self-improvement in the writing process. 4. Students will analyze, compare, and contrast visual images as represented in various films. 5. Students will examine the nature of laughter, definitions of the “comedic,” and will evaluate the cultural and universal characteristics of Jewish humor. 6. Students will gain an appreciation for the nature of the Jewish immigrant experience in North America, and will be able to identify values that are relevant to that experience in comedic situations.

  • The Art of Adaptation
    Ritgerð til M.A.-prófs Bókmenntir, Menning og Miðlun The Art of Adaptation The move from page to stage/screen, as seen through three films Margrét Ann Thors 301287-3139 Leiðbeinandi: Guðrún Björk Guðsteinsdóttir Janúar 2020 2 Big TAKK to ÓBS, “Óskar Helps,” for being IMDB and the (very) best 3 Abstract This paper looks at the art of adaptation, specifically the move from page to screen/stage, through the lens of three films from the early aughts: Spike Jonze’s Adaptation, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman, or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance, and Joel and Ethan Coen’s O Brother, Where Art Thou? The analysis identifies three main adaptation-related themes woven throughout each of these films, namely, duality/the double, artistic madness/genius, and meta- commentary on the art of adaptation. Ultimately, the paper seeks to argue that contrary to common opinion, adaptations need not be viewed as derivatives of or secondary to their source text; rather, just as in nature species shift, change, and evolve over time to better suit their environment, so too do (and should) narratives change to suit new media, cultural mores, and modes of storytelling. The analysis begins with a theoretical framing that draws on T.S. Eliot’s, Linda Hutcheon’s, Kamilla Elliott’s, and Julie Sanders’s thoughts about the art of adaptation. The framing then extends to notions of duality/the double and artistic madness/genius, both of which feature prominently in the films discussed herein. Finally, the framing concludes with a discussion of postmodernism, and the basis on which these films can be situated within the postmodern artistic landscape.

    Boys, ballet and begonias: The Spanish Gardener and its analogues alison platt T S S, an American film of 1999 from an Indian director, M. Night Shyamalan, with an all-American star (Bruce Willis), seems a very long way from British cinema of the 1950s.1 But the boy in this film (Haley Joel Osment) seems almost a revenant from the British post-war era, with his lack of teenage quality, his innocence of youth culture and, more importantly, his anguished concern for and with the adult (Willis) whom he befriends. Here there is something of Carol Reed’s The Fallen Idol (1948), Anthony Pélissier’s The Rocking Horse Winner (1949), Philip Leacock’s The Spanish Gardener (1956) and other films of the period that centre upon the child/adult relationship or incorporate it as a theme: Anthony Asquith’s The Winslow Boy (1948) and The Browning Version (1951), and Philip Leacock’s The Kidnappers (1953). Perhaps the template for this type of isolated child is Pip in David Lean’s Great Expectations (1946). Anthony Wager as young Pip seems an irrevocably old-fashioned child victim, the Little Father Time of Hardy’s Jude the Obscure, as does John Howard Davies asking for more in Lean’s Oliver Twist (1948). This sensitive-looking child returns in The Sixth Sense and indeed in another film of 1999, Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia. Neither of the children who feature in these films exemplifies today’s idea of ‘normal’ children in cinema, which is based on a concept of young, tough ‘kids’ that does not show children as people.

  • Film & Literature
    Name_____________________ Date__________________ Film & Literature Mr. Corbo Film & Literature “Underneath their surfaces, all movies, even the most blatantly commercial ones, contain layers of complexity and meaning that can be studied, analyzed and appreciated.” --Richard Barsam, Looking at Movies Curriculum Outline Form and Function: To equip students, by raising their awareness of the development and complexities of the cinema, to read and write about films as trained and informed viewers. From this base, students can progress to a deeper understanding of film and the proper in-depth study of cinema. By the end of this course, you will have a deeper sense of the major components of film form and function and also an understanding of the “language” of film. You will write essays which will discuss and analyze several of the films we will study using accurate vocabulary and language relating to cinematic methods and techniques. Just as an author uses literary devices to convey ideas in a story or novel, filmmakers use specific techniques to present their ideas on screen in the world of the film.

My ever-engaging chair, Maurizia Boscagli, has been a constant source of intellectual inspiration. She has encouraged me to be a true interdisciplinary scholar and her rigor and high intellectual standards have served as an incredible example. I cannot thank her enough for seeing potential in my work, challenging my perspective, and making me a better scholar.

  • The French New Wave and the New Hollywood: Le Samourai and Its American Legacy
    ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES, 3 (2010) 109–120 The French New Wave and the New Hollywood: Le Samourai and its American legacy Jacqui Miller Liverpool Hope University (United Kingdom) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The French New Wave was an essentially pan-continental cinema. It was influenced both by American gangster films and French noirs, and in turn was one of the principal influences on the New Hollywood, or Hollywood renaissance, the uniquely creative period of American filmmaking running approximately from 1967–1980. This article will examine this cultural exchange and enduring cinematic legacy taking as its central intertext Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samourai (1967). Some consideration will be made of its precursors such as This Gun for Hire (Frank Tuttle, 1942) and Pickpocket (Robert Bresson, 1959) but the main emphasis will be the references made to Le Samourai throughout the New Hollywood in films such as The French Connection (William Friedkin, 1971), The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974) and American Gigolo (Paul Schrader, 1980). The article will suggest that these films should not be analyzed as isolated texts but rather as composite elements within a super-text and that cross-referential study reveals the incremental layers of resonance each film’s reciprocity brings. This thesis will be explored through recurring themes such as surveillance and alienation expressed in parallel scenes, for example the subway chases in Le Samourai and The French Connection, and the protagonist’s apartment in Le Samourai, The Conversation and American Gigolo. A recent review of a Michael Moorcock novel described his work as “so rich, each work he produces forms part of a complex echo chamber, singing beautifully into both the past and future of his own mythologies” (Warner 2009).

  • Jim Thompson's Oklahoma
    Smithsonian Channel: Original Programming in HD and On D... http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/site/smithsonian/show_sou... Search The Darkest Guidebook Ever? Before Jim Thompson became the dean of American noir novelists with classics like The Killer Inside Me (soon to be a major motion picture with Kate Hudson and Casey Affleck) and The Grifters, he grew up in a place where life mirrored pulp. Born in Oklahoma in 1914, by his twenties Thompson had bounced around Oklahoma towns, worked as a West Texas oil hand, and procured booze and women to hotel guests as a bellboy. In the 1930s, as the Great Depression deepened, Thompson was struggling to avoid poverty by writing about the outlaws, bad cops and wild spaces of Oklahoma. First he wrote for the pulps – Master Detective, True Detective, and more. But when he couldn’t eke out a living for his family with the pay from those magazines, Thompson took a job writing for the tours section of the WPA guide to Oklahoma. Gradually his writing skills made him invaluable and he worked his way up to become the guide’s main editor. The result may be one of the darkest guidebooks ever. Thompson kicked off a chapter about local folklore with an account of an Oklahoman who "ran amuck on a visit to town and, in the course of a few minutes, killed a representative of each of five races." Retracing his steps with the WPA guidebook is like getting a Coen Brothers' tour of the Blood Simple or No Country for Old Men. It opens your eyes to a side of America that Thompson saw for real before he made it up.
