    Cutting Patterns in DW Griffith's Biographs

    Cutting patterns in D.W. Griffith’s Biographs: An experimental statistical study Mike Baxter, 16 Lady Bay Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 5BJ, U.K. (e-mail: [email protected]) 1 Introduction A number of recent studies have examined statistical methods for investigating cutting patterns within films, for the purposes of comparing patterns across films and/or for summarising ‘average’ patterns in a body of films. The present paper investigates how different ideas that have been proposed might be combined to identify subsets of similarly constructed films (i.e. exhibiting comparable cutting structures) within a larger body. The ideas explored are illustrated using a sample of 62 D.W Griffith Biograph one-reelers from the years 1909–1913. Yuri Tsivian has suggested that ‘all films are different as far as their SL struc- tures; yet some are less different than others’. Barry Salt, with specific reference to the question of whether or not Griffith’s Biographs ‘have the same large scale variations in their shot lengths along the length of the film’ says the ‘answer to this is quite clearly, no’. This judgment is based on smooths of the data using seventh degree trendlines and the observation that these ‘are nearly all quite different one from another, and too varied to allow any grouping that could be matched against, say, genre’1. While the basis for Salt’s view is clear Tsivian’s apparently oppos- ing position that some films are ‘less different than others’ seems to me to be a reasonably incontestable sentiment. It depends on how much you are prepared to simplify structure by smoothing in order to effect comparisons.

    THE AMERICAN INDIAN IN THE AMERICAN FILM Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in American Studies in the University of Canterbury by Michael J. Brathwaite 1981 ABSTRACT This thesis is a chronological examination of the ways in which American Indians have been portrayed in American 1 f.ilms and the factors influencing these portrayals. B eginning with the literary precedents, the effects of three wars and other social upheavals and changes are considered. In addition t-0 being the first objective detailed examination of the subj�ct in English, it is the first work to cover the last decade. It concludes that because of psychological factors it is unlikely that film-makers are - capable of advancing far beyond the basic stereotypes, and that the failure of Indians to appreciate this has repeatedly caused ill-feeling between themselves and the film-makers, making the latter abandon their attempts at a fair treatment of the Indians. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface iii Chapter I: The Background of the Problem c.1630 to c.1900. 1 Chapter II: The Birth of the Cinema and Its Aftermath: 1889 to 1939. 21 Chapter III: World War II and Its Effects: 1940 to 1955. 42 Chapter IV: Assimilation of Separatism?: 1953 to 1965. 65 Chapter V: The Accuracy Question. 80 Chapter VI: Catch-22: 1965 to 1972. 105 Chapter VII: Back to the Beginning: 1973 to 1981. 136 Chapter VIII: Conclusion. 153 Bibliography 156 iii PREFACE The aim of this the.sis is to examine the ways in which the American Indians have been portrayed in American films, the influences on their portrayals, and whether or not they have changed.

    Decolonization, Indigenous Internationalism, and the World Council of Indigenous Peoples

    Decolonization, Indigenous Internationalism, and the World Council of Indigenous Peoples by Jonathan Crossen A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2014 ©Jonathan Crossen 2014 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation investigates the history of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples (WCIP) and the broader movement of Indigenous internationalism. It argues that Indigenous internationalists were inspired by the process of decolonization, and used its logic to establish a new political identity. The foundation of the WCIP helped create a network of Indigenous peoples that expressed international solidarity between historically unconnected communities. The international efforts of Indigenous activists were encouraged both by personal experiences of international travel and post-secondary education, and by the general growth of international non-governmental organizations during the late twentieth century. The growing importance of international non-governmental organizations helped the WCIP secure funding from international developmental aid agencies, a factor which pushed the organization to increase its focus on apolitical economic development relative to the anti-colonial objectives which inspired its foundation. This dissertation examines how Indigenous international organizations became embroiled in the Cold War conflict in Latin America, and the difficulties this situation posed for both the WCIP and the International Indian Treaty Council.

    The Travel Diary of Johann Jacob Schmick of the Moravian Indian Congregation’S Journey to the Susquehanna, 1765

    Snow, Swamps, and the Savior: The Travel Diary of Johann Jacob Schmick of the Moravian Indian Congregation’s Journey to the Susquehanna, 1765 Rachel Wheeler, Indiana University—Purdue University, Indianapolis Thomas Hahn-Bruckart, Johannes Gutenberg University at Mainz CONTEXT In early April 1765, a few dozen Indians, mostly Delaware and Mohican, set out from near Bethlehem, Pennsylvania accompanied by two Moravian missionaries, Johann Jacob Schmick and David Zeisberger. They were headed for the upper Susquehanna, where they hoped to establish a new Native Christian community on the site of Wyalusing, a village once home to several members of the party, including the Munsee preacher, Papunhank.1 Along the arduous five-week journey, made even more difficult by the need to give a wide berth to backcountry white settlements seething with anti-Indian sentiment, the travelers endured extreme weather, suffered frequent food shortages, and met with countless challenges along their path. Several members of the party died along the way. One woman, Sophia, made the trip while seven months pregnant. We learn of this journey through the travel diary kept by Schmick who had served as a missionary among the Indians for over a dozen years.2 The diary is fascinating and deeply moving. It mingles the prosaic, the tragic, and the quietly heroic. It recounts the 1 On the history of Wyalusing, see W. C.

    NOTES ON THE MARGINS OF SALT’S AND BAXTER’S STUDIES Yuri Tsivian The place I chose for these notes – on the margins, not in the midst of our conversation on statistics – signals their marginal relevance to our dialog’s central subject: how statistics can help explain the history and vagaries of film cutting. The last thing I want to do to this dialog is to sidetrack it. Unlike my prior interventions, these notes do not qualify as “questions.” These are but asides, for the most part, asides of films history. 1. On pace and pulse It would be nice if 'dramatic tension' could be quantified, so that we could get on with the important job of analysing its relation to all the visible features of movies. It IS something that is conceivably possible, but far away at present. Thus begins Barry Salt’s study Lines and Graphs written in response to my Question 2: What do Lines Tell? Figure 1: The dramatic “pyramid” from Die Technik des Dramas by Gustav Freytag (1876) What Salt is skeptical about is whether pictures like the 1876 diagram on Figure 1 or statements like Epes Winthrop Sargent’s from 1916 (“A diagrammatic representation of the plot should offer a succession of peaks and valleys”, etc.) count as a time-series analysis. “There are no numerical values attached to the points on the curve,” Barry wrote in a letter to me. “In theory it might be possible to measure the ‘dramatic tension,’ or whatever the quantity that is supposed to be represented on the y- axis, but nobody has done it so far.

    1 2 Lost Warrior the Ties that Bind An oral family history By Larry Thomas 2005 3 Preface My name is Larry Noel Thomas. I am the oldest of my generation. This really all started when I was a kid listening to my Grandfather and his Brothers telling our family stories. In particular "Uncle Paul" (Earnest Paul) Thomas (the family story teller) who lived in Clinton, Louisiana and Uncle Jack who lives in Jackson, Mississippi told stories of where they come from and the many stories of our ancestors. Both these men were excellent storytellers. Growing up I had met Russell Thomas living in Montgomery County, Mississippi several times. His father was Lon Thomas son of Greenwood Thomas. When Uncle Paul died and was buried in Duck Hill, Mississippi, Uncle Russell gave my father a written record of his oral family history. Uncle Russell's account of our family history and Uncle Paul's accounts were identical. Lineage: (1) I, Larry Noel Thomas was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I am the oldest son of (2) Edmond Noel Thomas Jr. who was born in Montgomery County, Mississippi. Edmond married Patsy Walker, daughter of Burkie Walker and Marion Tinkle. Edmond was the son of (3) Edmond Noel Thomas who was born on 19 Jan 1907 in Duck Hill, Montgomery, Mississippi. He died on 14 Mar 1970 in Clinton, East Feliciana, Louisiana. Edmond married Mary Elizabeth Holmes, daughter of William Madison Holmes and Ada Beatrice Pierce in Memphis, Shelby, Tennessee. Edmond was the son of (4) John Marshall Thomas who was born on 12 Nov 1871 in Duck Hill, Montgomery, Mississippi.
