Sut Jhally’s documentary Dreamworlds 3 focuses primarily on the concept of heterosexual relations in music videos, but how do things change, or stay the same, when applied to a homosexual music video? By analyzing the music video titled “Lost on You” by female artist LP, it is apparent that Sut Jhally’s themes techniques of storytelling and constructing femininity hold ground even in homosexual music videos. The visuals, meaning the people and setting, as well as the roles being played lead to the conclusion that masculine and feminine stereotypes persist no matter how different media might be. The main theme being utilized is Jhally’s techniques of storytelling.
Sonderkommandos who by Primo Levi standards were in a league with the SS officers, were the ones to put a stop to the horrors of Treblinka II, it made me question Levi’s testimony and question if his judgment was clouded by his opinion instead of facts. One thing that I know for sure is that Sonderkommandos may be viewed by many as perpetrators, but no one can question that they were heroes for having destroyed Treblinka II and stopping the killings of Jews by thousands. It’s essential to grasp the concept and understand the importance of The Shoah not only by a survivor or someone who was directly affected by The Shoah, but to learn about it by a second party. The reason it’s important to learn it from a second party is that they bring an outside look that is not affected by emotions or
Pointers to Insight I found this short synopsis of Soko Morinaga’s journey a very compelling piece of literature. His main theme being that everyone should live a fulfilling life full of happiness and contentedness is a theme that everyone can agree with. Another theme that can be seen is the idea of a student and sensei being able to trust and respect each other’s capabilities and hold them accountable accordingly.
The iconic presence of Bette Davis as Margo Channing in “All About Eve” is a clear example of Sontag’s vision of “camp” as that which is focused on style, glamor and extravagance. Not only was Bette Davis a great stylist ‘of temperament and mannerism’, her exaggerated gestures and larger-than-life individual style made her artistically “camp” (Sontag, 56). It is important to note, however, that Bette Davis was a true “camp” icon because she was ‘not intending to be campy’ (Sontag, 58). In fact, it was her audacity in defying what was accepted as gender norms in her time that gained her a cult following in the gay community who latched upon her “campness” and defiance as a symbol of their pride.
The Holocaust of Nazi Germany, World War I created a new stigma about warfare. During WWI Adolf Hitler the German leader created what is known as the Final Solution, (252). This Final Solution was the creation of a system of camps that were specially build for the incarceration or extermination of the European Jews, (252). Hitler’s mission was to rid Germany of Jews and eventually the rest of Europe. Jews were captured and forced into camps where they faced horrific treatments and many times death.
Zitkala-Sa describes her relationship with her mother as a loyal, strong, and thoughtful. She described her mother as often unhappy and quiet. The fact of appreciating her mother was clearly described when Zitkala-Sa pleaded to tell her the purpose behind her tears. Zitkala-sa 's appreciation and respect for her mother are seems when she explains how; she would head to the river everyday with her mother to get water, growing up she will always do it for her no matter where she was. Sooner or later, Ziktala-Sa knew the reason and why her mother would be depressed; the white man are paleface evils.
The must extra ordinary works are the painting done around early fifties. Tatsuo Ikeda is a American Soldier Child, Barracks 1953, is one such artwork. The visual representation is concise a grim in its languages. We seen in this artwork of tatsuo Ikeda that the soldier is smoking,and his face is holding a native woman and looking out from window of his dim barrack. And we seen behind them that more young children are seen nearby.
Her painting speaks to me more since she demonstrated through this painting of her daughter Julie that women could paint portraits just as good or even better than the dominant male
The 1960’s was truly an age of reform and revolution that set the stage for Susan Sontag 's, “Notes on ‘Camp,’” published in 1964. The decade saw the emergence of large scale political campaigns aiming to increase opportunities for all people, such as the Civil Rights movement. Some reformers demanded social change and denounced capitalism in order to create a counterculture encouraging self-exploration and fulfillment, often involving sex positivity, drug use and communal living. To counter some of these liberal movements the modern conservative movement was born with the ideals later reflected in the Reagan era. Additionally, 1960’s America saw a the development of several new forms of art such as Op art (or Optical art), Pop art, Performance
Childhood memories is the stimulus for the experimental music theatre piece that we, as a group have been asked to produce. Being a group of four girls, we didn 't want to go down the obvious feminist route and it was an idea that each member of the group agreed on. By using this, we are hoping to achieve an aesthetically pleasing performance that portrays the innocence of children. To do this we intend on using both sonic and visual elements through the adult body e.g using childish movements accompanied with adult voices. For myself, I remember a few not so nice memories from my past and because of this I found researching into Gottfried Helnwein very relevant.
! Yasushi Nagao is perhaps most well known for his “Tokyo Stabbing” piece, taken in 1960 and winning two global words shortly after. He himself humbly claimed that his sudden rise to fame was because he was at the right place at the right time. In other words, it was all just luck. However, I beg to differ.
A perfectionist who reveled in excess, Chadwick was the most important artist of her generation, and a crucial inspiration to a multitude of younger artists. She has often been identified as a feminist, with several of her works addressing the role and image of woman in society, especially in her postgraduate days and alongside her colleague and friend Elaine Shemilt. Her work often
By definition, computer-mediated communication (CMC) is communication about or by means of computer technology (Thurlow, Lengel, & Tomic, 2004). The transition of computers from highly specialized technology to personal possessions contributed to the increase in investigations relating to CMC (Thurlow, Lengel, & Tomic, 2004). The study of CMC has been widely applied, allowing for discussions of all forms of human communication via the means of a computer. Some of those disciplines through which CMC has been studied include psychology (Gackenbach & Ellerman, 1998; Kiesler, Siegel, & McGuire, 1984), politics (Dahlberg, 2001; Hacker & van Dijk, 2000), and education (Berge & Collins, 1995; McComb, 1994). In addition, CMC has also been widely studied
Chiyo Sakamoto was born of a fisherman father in Yoroido, which was a fishing village. Tanaka, the wealthiest man in the village and the owner of Japan Coastal Seafood Company took notice of Chiyo’s blue grey eyes and could foresee the beauty she would grow up to be. According to the fortunetellers due to excess of water in her personality her eyes were too pale and the other four components were not really introduced by any stretch of the imagination. She acquired her eyes from her mother and it was an uncommon DNA characteristic in Japan. It was considered a gift by the divine beings or nature to guarantee her survival amid repulsive time of the Japanese history she faced later in her life as a Sayuri.
For instance, there are those who believe that erotic dance is degrading and dehumanizing to women, those who believe that performing erotic dance is empowering for women, and those who simply view erotic dance in the context of labour relations. The feminist perspective that erotic dance is degrading and dehumanizing has been constructed by society, media, and also is mainly due to them being only informed “by cultural stereotypes” (Barton, 2002, p.585). Many of the mainstream films feature erotic dancers to be “not very bright, sleeps with her clients, and has a surplus of predatory, sexual power” (Barton, 2002, p.585) and because erotic dancers are “seductive and manipulative, she will steal your boyfriend or husband because she does not care about anyone but herself” (Barton, 2002, p.585). Due to the mainstream media portraying the characters of erotic dancers to have a specific personality, this causes feminists to believe that all dancers are not respected and are objectified by men and the media.
