    Through the use of projected images, music and dialogue, distinctively visual texts represent challenging aspects of life effectively.

    The way that we perceive the world is constantly being challenged and altered because of our subjective views of the texts that we read, particularly through distinctively visual techniques. John Misto’s play ‘The Shoe-Horn Sonata’ (1996) and Jason Van Genderen’s short film ‘Mankind Is No Island’ (2008) explores distinct visuals of hope, survival, injustice and friendship. Our perception of these issues is shaped by distinctively visual techniques such as visual and aural imagery, stage directions, parodied humour, camera angles and lighting.…

    This course addresses the active nature of “representing,” “looking,” “seeing,” and “viewing.” It focuses on the politics of producing representations of ourselves and others through different types of visually-oriented disciplines, technologies and practices. We will pay particular attention to the ways everyday life, identities and desires are shaped by an increasingly commercialized and mainstream field of representations. We will also explore theoretical methods and critical tools of analysis which allow us to make sense of the mediations through which the body, gender, sexuality, subjectivity, identity and desire are constructed, comprehended and experienced. Central to our investigations are questions surrounding difference and power, particularly whose agendas establish the terms of representational practice, and how images are used and understood. Emphasis is placed on a critical engagement with the role and impact of a variety of visual forms of popular culture and mainstream media, particularly the stories they tell us about the historical moments and cultures in which they are produced. The course provides interdisciplinary perspectives on the politics of representation and draws on theoretical frameworks and cultural production specific to gender/culture/media/visual studiesThe course is organized around a series of questions:…

    I think the case would eventually wind up as Justice Alito, known as conservative, voting against McBurney. As far as the voting, 6-3 or 7-2 would, in my speculation, be the most likely result with majority ruling against the state government and its FOIA, prompting optimization of the law.…

    The emergence of Auteur theory in cinema can be associated with, among other things, the permanence of the medium. With regard to other art forms, especially theatre, the director is held hostage to the lack of repeated viewing and analysis concerning their final product. With cinema, this is not the case. In fact it’s repeated viewings that originally led to the advent of auteur theory when French film critics were able to view multiple films by a specific director in succession. They studied these films and recognized a series of reoccurring motifs, both narrative and formal, that created a signature style and form consistent in all of the director’s works.…

    Every so often a movie is released with such tense anticipation and glamorous visual art that the public is drawn to this dramatic rendition of life in the theatre. For even just two hours or so, you are put into a different lifestyle. Action, drama or comedy it may be. We are thrust into a different way of thinking. We are forced to learn the characters thoughts and feelings. The hard work and artistic skill that goes into these magnificent films is not an easy thing to mimic. Out of the thousands of movies released worldwide each year only a handful are truly worthy of the label film art. Most of the great movies are either produced by a multi million dollar company that hired a director with quite a bit of experience under his belt, or are made with little money and slowly find their way into the film business due to…
