3	“Wolf Man” Flanagan, Ryan 08 1900 (has links) This creative nonfiction dissertation is a memoir that probes the complex life and death of the author’s father, who became addicted in his late forties to crack cocaine. While the primary concerns are the reasons and ways in which the father changed from a family man into a drug addict, the memoir is also concerned with themes of family life, childhood, and grief. After his father’s death, the author moves to Las Vegas and experiences similar addiction issues, which he then explores to help shed light on his father’s problems. To enrich the investigation, the author draws from eclectic sources, including news articles, literature, mythology, sociology, religion, music, TV, interviews, and inherited objects from his father. In dissecting the life of his father, the author simultaneously examines broader issues surrounding modern fatherhood, such as cultural expectations, as well as the problems of emptiness, isolation, and spiritual deficiency.

4	Olika leka bäst : En studie i samspel mellan olika berättarmodeller och element från slow cinema / The Interplay of Dissimilarities : A study on the interplay of various narrative models and elements from slow cinema Ekenberg, Jonatan January 2015 (has links) Uppsatsens syfte ligger i att undersöka huruvida filmteoretikern David Bordwells två inflytelserika berättarmodeller från 1980-talet fortfarande återfinns inom samtida filmproduktion. Jag fördjupar mig i det klassiska- respektive konstfilmsberättandet och jämför vidare de typiska elementen från de två berättarmodellerna med formatet slow cinema. I definitionen av slow cinema utgår jag ifrån filmvetaren Matthew Flanagans utredning av vad formatet innebär samt de tre byggstenarna han anser vara mest väsentliga. Dessa är långa tagningar, en ickeberättande struktur och skildringar av realistiska, vardagliga skeenden. Med en utgångspunkt i detta utför jag en närläsning av Alfonso Cuaróns film Gravity (2013). Analysen fokuserar på hur element från slow cinema kan adapteras till en mer kommersiellt accepterad film med ett klassiskt berättande. Gravity visar sig exemplifiera dels Cuaróns personliga stil men även ett samspel av element från de två berättarmodellerna, och slow cinema. Avslutningsvis förs en diskussion där jag jämför analysens resultat dels med tidigare forskning samt ett antal andra filmexempel. Slutsatsen blir således att konstnärlig auktoritet och filmisk kvalitet likväl kan uppstå inom kommersiella modeller som konstnärliga sådana. Dagens filmklimat och dess vidare utveckling kan gynnas av en uppluckring av de föråldrade konventioner som Bordwells berättarmodeller innebär. Istället skall filmskapare fritt kunna röra sig mellan olika stilar, tillvägagångsätt och berättande, likt Cuaróns förkroppsligade kamera. narration art-cinema narration David Bordwell Slow cinema Matthew Flanagan Gravity Alfonso Cuarón classical narration Hollywood Berättarmodeller David Bordwell Slow cinema Matthew Flanagan Gravity Alfonso Cuarón klassiskt berättande Hollywoodfilm konstfilmsberättande konstfilm konventioner normer samspel film hybridfilm dramaturgi
5	Entertainment News: Agitprop to Colbertisms Vigue, Chanelle Renee 01 January 2008 (has links) At the beginning of the twentieth century, newspaper theatre was born from the need to inform those who could not read the news for themselves. There have been many contributors and influential factors to the multi-faceted evolution of newspaper theatre. Contributors include Meyerhold, Piscator, Brecht, Hallie Flanagan and Arthur Arent, and Augusto Boal. Influential factors include technology, politics, and the influence of theatrical movements. The most popular and most frequent contributors to contemporary newspaper theatre are the legitimate news media and comedy news shows.

6	Depiction of Japanese culture in The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan / Zobrazení japonské kultury v románu The Narrow Road to the Deep North od Richarda Flanagana Novotná, Markéta January 2021 (has links) The aim of this MA thesis is to describe and evaluate the manner in which Richard Flanagan captured Japanese culture in his 2013 novel, The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Since the main motif of the work is the life of an Australian prisoner of war, a topic that has been significant in the creation of Australian national identity, the novel is firstly analysed from its position in the wider context of Australian literature. Richard Flanagan provided the readers with a complex work, which presents the given motif not only from the perspective of the Australian prisoners-of-war, but also from the perspective of their predominantly Japanese captors. The inclusion of the points of view of the Japanese ranks the novel among the contemporary adaptations that provide a more comprehensive view on the events of World War II. For that reason, the novel is assessed as to the complexity and accuracy of the selected and incorporated areas of Japanese culture, whether there is a tendency for schematization in the depiction, and therefore a display of the so-called "Orientalism", as described by Edward Said. This MA thesis aims to analyse whether, and to what degree Flanagan's novel differs from other works of the Australian literature that deal with the events of World War II and Japan. The analysis focuses on...
7	Post-Materialism: Its Impact on Presidential Election Year Issues, 1972-2000 Carter, John 14 June 2002 (has links) This thesis examines the measurable effects of changing cultural values on American presidential election year issues from 1972 to 2000. Topics discussed: the long-term shift in cultural values and their impact on political parties, party support, and political priorities. There is congruence between the content of the two major political party platforms from 1972-2000 and the cultural priorities of party supporters as defined by their presidential vote. This relationship also holds true for the 'most significant issue facing the nation' variable in the National Election Studies and presidential vote choice. These results are reproduced in a completely different data set of active political participants (follow the news closely, participate in political campaigns, vote consistently) assembled by Sydney Verba. Both political parties must contend with the tensions that arise from differing cultural priorities of their supporters. This applies both within the parties as they must assemble winning electoral coalitions and between the parties which have taken on the cultural and political priorities of their strongest supporters. As the cultural priorities of major political party supporters shift, so have their quadrennial party platforms. / Master of Arts cultural change political parties post-materialism party platforms presidential elections Ronald H.

8	Animal writing : magical realism and the posthuman other. Schwalm, Tanja January 2009 (has links) Magical realist fiction is marked by a striking abundance of animals. Analysing magical realist novels from Australia and Canada, as well as exploring the influence of two seminal Latin American magical realist narratives, this thesis focuses on representations of animals and animality. Examining human-animal relationships in the postcolonial context reveals that magical realism embodies and represents an idea of feral animality that critically engages with an inherently imperialist and Cartesian humanism, and that, moreover, accounts for magical realism's elusiveness within systems of genre categorisation and labelling. It is this embodiment and presence of animal agency that animates magical realism and injects it with life and vibrancy. The magical realist writers discussed in this dissertation make use of animal practices inextricably intertwined with imperialism, such as pastoral farming, natural historical collections, the circus, the rodeo, the Wild West show, and the zoo, as well as alternative animal practices inherently incompatible with European ideologies, such as the Aboriginal Dreaming, Native North American animist beliefs, and subsistence hunting, as different ways of positioning themselves in relation to the Cartesian human subject. The circus is a particular influence on the form and style of many magical realist texts, whereby oxymoronically structured circensian spaces form the basis of the narratives‟ realities, and hierarchical imperial structures and hegemonic discourses that are portrayed as natural through Cartesian science and Linnaean taxonomies are revealed as deceptive illusions that perpetuate the self-interests of the powerful. magic realism magical realism animal human-animal studies postcolonial posthuman feral Australia Canada circus circensian zoo natural history maban reality trickster Gabriel Garcia Marquez Isabel Allende Peter Carey Richard Flanagan Mudrooroo Sam Watson Thomas King Tomson Highway Robert Kroetsch Jack Hodgins Yann Martel
9	A study of the personal literature written in the Eastern Cape in the nineteenth century Young, Cheryl Ann January 1995 (has links) The evidence of these diaries, all written in the nineteenth century, reveals the heterogeneous nature of early settler society in the Eastern Cape. Generalizations can only be of the most tenuous kind in such a small sample; but women tend to dwell on the domestic, the men on their public lives, the most reticent about their private lives are the soldiers. There is one diary which can be described as personal; the diarists did not regard their diaries as appropriate repositories of their personal triumphs and failures. The perceptions formed in Britain about the land and people of Africa are not drastically modified upon arrival unless the diarist experiences a prolongued contact with either.
