"Nobody but you can do that to me, I don't know why" : Covert Power in Representations of Casual Talk. A Case Study of Woody Allen's Hannah and Her sister(s)

Järvinen Palme, Anna January 2014 (has links)
The thesis is an exploratory qualitative analysis of conversations between two out of three leading characters in Woody Allen’s motion picture Hannah and Her Sisters (1986). Due to a perception of invisible power relations, it is hypothesized that what seems like a powerful position in discourse, in fact is an indication of the opposite, and that what seems like a powerless position, is an indication of power. Three features based on scholarship connected to Conversation Analysis (CA), Dyadic Power Theory (DPT) and power relations in verbal interaction are chosen to test the hypotheses: first and second positions in sequences as dicussed by Hutchby (1996), control attempts as elaborated by DPT, and mitigating strategies as argued for by Mullany (2004). Findings confirm the hypotheses, but also reveal ambiguities and contrasting results. Connecting the data to sources based on talk in the private sphere, in particular within family discourse, is mentioned as one way to further illuminate the subject in future research.

Cinéma d'auteur et doublage : le paradoxe Woody Allen

Brisset, Frédérique 27 November 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Le doublage, mode de TAV le plus répandu en France, est peu étudié par les chercheurs, pour diverses raisons : difficulté matérielle à saisir la parole orale, dévalorisation culturelle d'un mode né de la volonté des studios américains de toucher un public de masse, impossibilité d'assigner au film un auteur dans une production collective. Mais un cinéma d'auteur existe, en marge du système hollywoodien et donc peu représenté aux États-Unis. Woody Allen, cinéaste américain indépendant des majors, est un cas à part : il a su préserver son autonomie artistique tout en usant de réseaux internationaux de diffusion pour s'assurer une véritable reconnaissance en France, grâce aux VOST et VD de ses films. Cinéma d'auteur et doublage sont pourtant antinomiques : l'un s'adresse à un public élitiste, l'autre s'avère ontologiquement lié à une diffusion de masse. Au cœur de ce paradoxe, la mise en français des films d'Allen doit osciller entre deux pôles, l'un tourné vers la parole de l'auteur, l'autre vers la facilitation du travail du spectateur. On étudie ici comment le doublage a pu négocier en diachronie les contradictions de cette situation et quelle place l'auteur occupe encore en VD. L'approche se fonde sur les théories de la réception et les concepts d'Auteur et Spectateur Modèle qui permettent d'appréhender le fonctionnement des diverses instances en jeu dans le contrat de spectature. Basée sur un corpus de 9 comédies couvrant différents genres abordés par Allen en 30 ans, cette étude descriptive et contrastive compare les VO des films, les traductions éditées en français et les VD en utilisant les outils traductologiques de la théorie bermanienne des tendances déformantes.

Neurotiska städer : Stadens roll i Woody Allens filmer / Neurotic Cities

Mannila, Michael, Presto, Robert January 2018 (has links)
The main purpose of this essay is to examine the narrative function of the city in the films of Woody Allen. This was achieved through a narrative and comparative analysis of four of his city films: Manhattan (1979), Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), Midnight in Paris (2011) and To Rome with Love (2012). The results of this examination show that the city has a variety of narrative functions throughout the films. The city provides a natural environment that enables character meetings. Living in the city can be so sought after, that the city itself becomes an important goal for the protagonist. Portraying the city is often an essential part of a reflexive narrative. The city is utilized for this and more in the films of Woody Allen.

Prior, James L. 12 1900 (has links)
The problem which concerns this thesis is the directing, designing, and mounting of Woody Allen's Play It Again, Sam under the auspices of the 1974 North Texas State University Summer Repertory Theatre Company. Chapter I contains a detailed examination of the playscript, an analysis of each of the characters, and criticism of Woody Allen's work. Chapter II deals with the chief problems and strategies involved in production. The preparation of the playscript, the cast and production staff, the design process, the front-of-house activities, and rehearsal experience are discussed in detail. Chapter III is the production book itself and includes the script, the blocking, and the light and sound cues. Chapter IV contains a critical summary of the project and recommendations for future study.
