The historical film in the era of New Hollywood, 1967-1980

Symmons, Tom January 2013 (has links)
This thesis is the first sustained analysis of historical films made in the New Hollywood era (1967-80). It explores the mediation of the era’s social, cultural and ideological concerns in feature films that represent key periods in American history. The terms New Hollywood and the historical film are utilised with revisionist aims. As well as considering the new wave of ‘auteur’ cinema synonymous with the New Hollywood, the thesis demonstrates the diverse range of films produced in this era. Similarly, it rejects the boundary drawing practiced by many studies of history and film, and submits that any film set in the past can be used to explore the values, assumptions and ideological conflicts of the present. Furthermore, the thesis contends that analysis of historical films allows us to understand how audiences of a given period engage with the past in emotional, moral and aesthetic terms. The method and approach of this research is robust and wide reaching, providing evidence based analysis of each film’s production and reception, as well as close readings of individual texts. The primary sources utilised include production files, draft screenplays, film reviews, press interviews and other forms of publicity. The vast majority of new Hollywood historical films are set in the recent past, and the six case studies undertaken in this thesis include a broad section of the era’s significant historical films: The Day of the Locust (1975), a drama centred on 1930s Hollywood; Sounder (1972), a story of Depression-era African American sharecroppers in the deep South; The Dirty Dozen (1967), a Second World War combat drama; The Way We Were (1973), a romantic film bridging the radical 1930s and the McCarthy ‘witchhunts’ of the 1950s; and American Graffiti (1973) and Grease (1978), which look back on the early rock and roll era of the late 1950s and early 1960s with nostalgia.

The development strategy of Taiwanese film industry under Globalization

CHEN, HUNG-MI 11 June 2004 (has links)
Abstract The purpose of this study is to develop the strategy of Taiwanese film industry under the globalization. After comparing with different countries¡¦ film industry, analyzing Taiwanese current film industry, and interviewing key persons working in the film industry, I combine with all points to develop the strategy chart for Taiwanese film industry. This strategy includes the ways to build perfect teams, select proper topics, raise funds, produce professional films, operate effective marketing plans, and understand their customers, which help the film industry to work perfectly under business mechanism and will attract outside investors to invest in the film industry. About raising funds, filmmakers should raise funds under business mechanism to provide the clear business plan in details and invest their own money. The government should provide the deposit for the bankers to encourage them to loan money to filmmakers under the government guarantee money. Also, pre-sales contract can be a deposit for the bankers and filmmakers should buy completion bond to ensure the film will deliver on time. Most important of all is to set up a platform to help venture capitals or whoever are interested in investing films to quickly know how the film process runs. Also, the government should encourage companies to invest films by tax incentives. About producing films, collaboration is necessary, especially combining our creative directors with professional teams from Hong Kong. To invite actors or actresses from different courtiers will also have positive sales increase in actors or actresses¡¦ home countries. Also, filmmakers should choose the materials that are quite acceptable for the customers and involve different opinions from the west and the east. About returning, marketing teams should have clear marketing objectives, create return from relevant products, use combination marketing tools, choose right agents, strengthen negotiation power, provide exact numbers from box offices and familiarize customers¡¦ behavior.

Etude et optimisation du procédé STiGer de gravure profonde du silicium / Study and optimisation of STiGer process for deep silicon etching

Pichon-Balmadier, Laurianne 11 March 2010 (has links)
La gravure profonde du silicium est une étape de fabrication de microsystèmes et de composants demicroélectronique de puissance. Actuellement, deux procédés (Bosch et cryogénique) sont principalementemployés pour structurer le silicium à l'échelle micrométrique. Ce travail de thèse porte sur l'étudeet l'optimisation d'un procédé de gravure profonde du silicium, nommé STiGer. Celui-ci comporte desalternances entre plasmas de gravure et de passivation, à l'instar du procédé Bosch, ainsi qu'une chimieplasma proche du procédé cryogénique. La passivation s'effectue par le dépôt d'un film SiOxFy en plasmaSiF4/02, le substrat de silicium étant refroidi à une température cryogénique. Dans ce travail, unecaractérisation du film passivant a été effectuée de manière à permettre une optimisation plus efficace etplus rapide des procédés de gravure STiGer. La caractérisation du film SiOxFy déposé en chimie SiF4/02a été effectuée par FTIR ex situ, par ellipsométrie spectroscopique in situ ainsi que par des expériences,permettant de tester la résistance du film passivant à un plasma de gravure SF6. La croissance du filmSiOxFy est favorisée en présence de radicaux d'oxygène et SiFx, avec une température de substrat inférieureà -80°(. De plus, la résistance du film passivant à un plasma de gravure semble liée à son épaisseur. Le filmSiOxFy obtenu en plasma SF6/02 a été caractérisé par XPS in situ en collaboration avec l'IMN. Lors dela remontée en température du substrat, les composés contenant de l'oxygène désorbent vers -90°C, suivisd'une désorption de la molécule SiF4, issue d'une réorganisation des atomes sur la surface. Enfin le procédéSTiGer a été optimisé pour deux applications: la gravure de tranchées d'ouverture submicronique pourréaliser des condensateurs en 3D et le perçage de plaque de silicium pour l'interconnexion. / Silicon deep etching is part of microsystems and power microelectronic devices manufacture process.Nowadays, two main processes (Bosch and cryogenic) are used to pattern silicon at a micrometric scale.This work focuses on the study and the optimisation of a process for deep silicon etching, named STiGerprocess. The latter consist in alternating etching and passivation plasmas, as for the Bosch process. Italso comprise a cryogenic process like plasma chemistry, since a SiOxFy passivation film is deposited by aSiF4/02 plasma, the silicon substrate being cooled down to cryogenic temperatures. This work includesthe characterisation of the passivation film, in order to efficiently and rapidly develop STiGer etchingprocesses. The SiOxFy film deposited by SiF4/02 plasma has been characterized by in situ FTIR, by insitu spectroscopic ellipsometry as weil as by experiments, that allowed to evaluate the passivation filmresistance to a SF6 etching plasma. The SiOxFy film growth is enhanced by the presence of 0 and SiOFxradicals in the plasma, when the substrate temperature is less than -80°(. Moreover, the film resistanceto an etching plasma may be due to its thickness. The SiOxFy film grown by a SF6/02 plasma has beencharacterised by in situ XPS in collaboration with IMN. When the substrate is heated up to ambienttemperature, the oxygen containing components desorb first at a temperature of approximately -90°(.Secondly, the desorption of the SiF4 molecule is caused by a rearrangement of the atoms at the surface.Finally, STiGer process has been optimized for two applications: etching of submicronic trenches for 3Dcapacitance production and through wafer etching for interconnexion.

Analyse expérimentale et modélisation de caloducs oscillants en contexte aéronautique / Experimental Analysis and Modelling of Oscillating Heat Pipes in Aeronautical Context

Bonnenfant, Jean-François 03 July 2013 (has links)
L’augmentation permanente des densités de flux de chaleur mises en jeu, en contexte aéronautique notamment, et l’évacuation de celles-ci, constitue actuellement une problématique majeure pour les industriels du secteur. Les solutions de refroidissement utilisées jusqu’à aujourd’hui ne suffisent plus à assurer la tenue thermique de ces systèmes, nécessitant l’apport de nouveaux moyens. A ce titre, parmi les solutions existantes, le caloduc oscillant suscite un intérêt croissant de part ses nombreux avantages, comparé aux systèmes diphasiques classiques. C’est pourquoi le projet Optimal, dans lequel s’inscrivent ces travaux de thèse, se propose d’employer cette technologie dans le but d’optimiser le refroidissement de nouvelles turbomachines électriques. Le principe de fonctionnement du caloduc oscillant, simple au demeurant, recèle néanmoins des aspects encore peu maîtrisés. Cette thèse a donc pour objectif, d’une part, d’évaluer les performances d’un tel système dans ce contexte industriel et, d’autre part, d’apporter de nouveaux éléments visant à accroître la compréhension de son fonctionnement, par des moyens expérimentaux mais également numériques.Pour se faire, l’étude expérimentale réalisée au cours de ce projet a consisté au développement d’un prototype, à partir duquel des campagnes d’essais ont été effectuées. Ces essais ont permis de caractériser les performances du système au travers d’investigations paramétriques (fluide de travail, taux de remplissage, inclinaison, puissance injectée, température de source froide, boucle ouverte ou fermée). Il a ainsi pu être observé une amélioration évidente des performances plus spécifiquement sous certaines conditions opératoires, mais également des comportements particuliers liés au fonctionnement de ce système. A cette approche expérimentale s’ajoute une étude théorique basée sur le développement d’un modèle numérique. Face à la complexité des mécanismes thermo-physiques régissant le fonctionnement du caloduc oscillant, ce modèle s’intéresse à un système simplifié, caractérisé par le déplacement d’un système bulle de vapeur, bouchon liquide, dans lequel un film liquide déposé en aval est soumis à une évaporation. Le but ultime étant à terme de décrire précisément la dynamique de ce film liquide, ce modèle a conduit dans le cadre de cette thèse à mettre en évidence l’ensemble des phénomènes physiques associés à l’évaporation en film dans un tube capillaire, et d’établir une cartographie des domaines d’utilisation de ce modèle selon les hypothèses considérées, pour une utilisation ultérieure liée à l’identification expérimentale des paramètres de ce film. / The continuous increase of heat flux densities involved in aeronautic context, and their evacuation, represent a major issue nowadays. The solutions used until now are no longer sufficient to ensure the thermal maintenance of these systems, requiring new technologies. Among them, the pulsating heat pipe induces a growing interest. Thus, the French FUI project Optimal suggests employing this technology in order to optimize the cooling of new electric turbomachines. The work led in this PhD aims to evaluate the performances of such a system in this context, by experimental and numerical means.The experimental study which has been conducted consisted in the development of a prototype, starting from which experiments have been led. These tests allowed characterizing the thermal performances of the system through parametric investigations. Thereby, it has been observed an obvious improvement of these performances under some operating conditions, but also several particular behaviors. In addition to that approach, one adds a theoretical study based on the development of a numerical model. Given the complexity of the mechanisms governing the pulsating heat pipe’s operation, this model focuses on a simplified system, characterized by the motion of vapor bubble-liquid slug structure, in which a liquid film, deposited downstream, is subjected to evaporation. This model has conducted to highlight the physical phenomena associated to the thin film evaporation in a capillary tube, and to establish a cartography of its applicability fields, according to the considered assumptions.
