Til tider har det vært frustrerende, til tider kjempegøy. Denne masteren ville aldri blitt ferdig hadde det ikke vært for all den støtten og hjelpen jeg har fått. Først vil jeg takke min veileder, Rune Klevjer, som har hjulpet meg gjennom dette og gitt gode råd, på tross av at ingen av oss hadde noe særlig kunnskap om temaet til å begynne med. Jeg vil takke min far for at du korrekturleste og for all den støtten du og mamma har gitt. Og en stor takk til alle venner og familie som har støttet meg. Takk til dere som har overlevd alle de gangene jeg har klagd. Takk til deg som kunne forklare ord og uttrykk for meg. Takk til deg som ble litt for overbegeistra. Takk til deg som har kommet med forslag på problemer som har dukket opp. Takk til deg som tok meg med på kaffe. Takk til deg som sa at dette ville gå bra. Ikke minst, takk til mine informanter.

  • Screening the LAPD
    1 Screening the L.A.P.D.: Cinematic Representations of Policing and Discourses of Law Enforcement in Los Angeles, 1948-2003. by Robert Bevan University College London Ph.D. Thesis 2 Declaration I, Robert Bevan, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Thesis Abstract This thesis examines cinematic representations of the L.A.P.D. within the context of discourses of law enforcement in Los Angeles and contends that these feature films constitute a significant strand within such discourse. This contention, which is based upon the various identifiable ways in which the films engage with contemporary issues, acknowledges that the nature of such engagement is constrained by the need to produce a commercially viable fictional entertainment. In four main chronological segments, I argue that it is also influenced by the increasing ethnic and gendered diversity of film-makers, by their growing freedom to screen even the most sensitive issues and by the changing racial and spatial politics of Los Angeles. In the 1940s and 1950s, the major studios were prepared to illustrate some disputed matters, such as wire-tapping, but represented L.A.P.D. officers as white paragons of virtue and ignored their fractious relationships with minority communities. In the aftermath of the Watts riot of 1965, racial tensions were more difficult to ignore and, under a more liberal censorship regime, film-makers―led by two independent African American directors―began to depict instances of police racism and brutality.

This is the pilot to the series that would star William Shatner. Only in this version there is different Captain, Christopher Pike, and with the exception of Mr. Spock, an entirely different crew. Now it begins when the Enterprise receives what appears to be a distress message. But when they get to the planet where the message was sent from, they discover that the supposed survivors were nothing more than illusions created by the inhabitants of the planet, for the purpose of capturing a mate for the one genuine surviving human, and Captain Pike is the lucky winner. While Captain In the Cage tries to cope In the Cage the experiments and tests that the aliens are conducting on him, his crew tries to find a way to rescue him. But the aliens' illusions are too powerful and deceptive at first. Watching Star Trek's first pilot episode The Cage is like watching a historical what if taking place. Famously deemed "too cerebral" at the time of its production The Cage is where one of the most popular television programs of all time got its beginning. While it might be the beginning that never went much further, forty-five years later it is still a compelling piece of entertainment.
