Introduction
(from Wikipedia)
Many original and distinct sources exist over a 2,000-year timeframe, but only the oldest and those from a late period have
yielded significant enough finds to enable a coherent intro-translation. Therefore, the old Sumerian poems, and a
later Akkadian version, which is now referred to as the standard edition, are the most frequently referenced. The standard
edition is the basis of modern translations, and the old version only supplements the standard version when the lacunae —
or gaps in the cuneiform tablet — are great.
Note that although revised versions based on newly discovered information have been published, the epic is not complete.[2]
The earliest Sumerian poems are now considered to be distinct stories rather than constituting a single epic (Dalley 1989:
45). They date from as early as the Third Dynasty of Ur (2150-2000 BC) (Dalley 1989: 41-42). The earliest Akkadian
versions are dated to the early second millennium (Dalley 1989: 45), most likely in the eighteenth or seventeenth century
BC, when one or more authors used existing literary material to form the epic of Gilgamesh[3]. The "standard" Akkadian
version, consisting of 12 tablets, was edited by Sin-liqe-unninni sometime between 1300 and 1000 BC and was found in the
library of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is widely known today. The first modern translation of the epic was published in the early 1870s
by George Smith.[4] More recent translations into English include one undertaken with the assistance of the American
novelist John Gardner, and John Maier, published in 1984. In 2001, Benjamin Foster produced a reading in the Norton
Critical Edition Series that fills in many of the blanks of the standard edition with previous material.
The most definitive [5] translation is contained in a two-volume critical work by Andrew George. This represents the fullest
treatment of the standard edition material. George discusses at length the archaeological state of the material, provides a
tablet-by-tablet exegesis, and furnishes a dual language side-by-side translation. This translation was also published in a
general reader edition under the Penguin Classics imprint in 2000. In 2004, Stephen Mitchell released a controversial
edition, which is his interpretation of previous scholarly translations into what he calls "a new English version", published by
FreePress, a division of Simon and Schuster. The first direct Arabic translation from the original tablets was in the 1960s by
the Iraqi archeologist Taha Baqir.
The discovery of artifacts (ca. 2600 BC) associated with Enmebaragesi of Kish, who is mentioned in the legends as the
father of one of Gilgamesh's adversaries, has lent credibility to the historical existence of Gilgamesh (Dalley 1989: 40-41).[6]

Narrative Conventions
This document discusses three aspects of narrative: 1) Narrative as representation through the cinematic world, characters, and realism. 2) Narrative as structure, specifically the relationship between plot and story as well as plot patterns. 3) Narrative as the act of presenting the story through narration, subjectivity, and point of view. It also outlines characteristics of classical Hollywood style narratives, including clarity, unity of cause and effect, goal-oriented characters, two intertwining plotlines of romance and another theme, and closure that ties up loose ends.
Montage and Kuleshov Effect
Montage editing involves juxtaposing different shots together to create a new meaning greater than the individual parts. Alfred Hitchcock said montage allows editors to create ideas and emotions by piecing film clips together. Examples of films that used montage editing techniques include October by Sergei Eisenstein and Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin. Point-of-view editing shows what a character is looking at by cutting between a shot of their face and what their eyes are focused on, sometimes followed by their reaction. The Godfather uses the Kuleshov effect and parallel editing techniques effectively.
Framing dotherightthing
This document discusses various techniques for composition and framing in film including aspect ratios, subject placement using the rule of thirds, oblique versus frontal staging, figure placement in balanced and unbalanced compositions, shot types like low-angle and high-angle shots, as well as framing techniques such as foreground/background, loose vs tight framing, and frames within frames. Examples are provided from films like Casablanca, Do the Right Thing, American Beauty, Pan's Labyrinth, Atonement, Notorious, and Juno to illustrate these different techniques.
Three-Act Narrative Structure
The document discusses narrative structure in film. Most film narratives follow a three-act structure of introduction (exposition), complication of the protagonist's goal, and climax/resolution. In the first act, the main characters and their goals are introduced. In the second act, the protagonist faces obstacles in pursuit of their goal. This may include a "turning point" where their tactics change. The third act involves the protagonist confronting opposition, and their goal being achieved or not. This structure helps drive the plot forward through rising action and conflict.
Mise-en-Scene: Design and Composition
Mise-en-scène refers to the overall look and feel of a movie, including the setting, costumes, props, decor, lighting, and acting. It has two aspects: 1) design, which is the look and feel of all visual elements, and 2) composition, which is the arrangement of objects and actors within the frame. Mise-en-scène works to advance the narrative and create motifs, while the setting can relate to the action, other settings, and settings in other films. Composition arranges elements within the frame to present the action and develop themes visually.
Tartuffe: An Introduction
This document summarizes key dramatic conventions and social conventions presented in Moliere's play Tartuffe. It discusses how characters represent types rather than individuals, and how plots favor ingenuity over plausibility in order to entertain and instruct audiences. It also describes the social hierarchy of the time period, with the father holding authority over the family, as the king does over subjects. The document then summarizes the controversy and censorship surrounding Tartuffe, as the Catholic church and French aristocracy were offended by its satire of religious hypocrisy. It was banned from public performance for five years. Moliere defended comedy as exposing unreasonable vice through an outward form to allow audiences to recognize and avoid it.
Utopia
This document provides an introduction and context for Thomas More's Utopia. It summarizes that Utopia is a pun meaning both "no place" and "good place" in Greek. It was written in 1516 during European exploration of the Americas. More located his fictional ideal island community of Utopia in America. As a humanist, More was influenced by writers like Plato and Lucian in using dialogue and debate to examine ideas. The document examines questions like how More's humanist views related to advising King Henry VIII and the structure of Utopia using dialogue and a report on the island.
Renaissance art reformation
The Protestant Reformation rejected Catholic doctrine and authority, including Catholic art traditions. Protestant reformers rejected religious visual art in churches, often trying to destroy Catholic art. As a result, religious art became less common in Protestant northern Europe, while many Protestant artists turned to secular subjects like portraits and landscapes. One relatively rare Protestant religious painting showed Christ in a naturalistic, unadorned style without iconic elements like halos.
Paradise, Dante
Dante's Divine Comedy describes his journey through the spheres of heaven. In Paradiso, Dante ascends through nine celestial spheres with Beatrice, representing increasing perfection. Each sphere corresponds to a virtue and contains souls exemplifying that virtue. The spheres are nested within each other according to medieval cosmology, with the earth at the center and God in the Empyrean, the highest heaven beyond the moving spheres. In the Empyrean, Dante experiences a vision of God as a blinding light.
Purgatory1
This document provides an overview of Dante's Purgatory from Cantos 1-3 and 9-12. It includes images depicting scenes from Purgatory, including Dante looking toward Mount Purgatory and Trajan showing mercy. The document also excerpted a passage describing the souls of the proud as being anguished and pressed against their knees. Discussion questions are provided about key aspects of Purgatory in Dante's Divine Comedy.
Islamic art
This document compares Islamic art to Christian and Buddhist art through examples of different works. It shows a painting of the Lamentation by Giotto, a detail from the North Rose window of Chartres Cathedral, a 15th century seated Buddha statue from Thailand, the tiled exterior of the Friday Mosque of Herat in Afghanistan, a 14th century Turkish rug with confronted animals, 11th century Kufic script from a Qur'an, and a 16th century Persian miniature painting depicting Muhammad's night journey to heaven.
What are the humanities 202
The document defines the humanities as the study of language, linguistics, literature, history, philosophy, archaeology, religion, ethics, and the arts. It notes that the 1965 National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act provides a definition of the humanities that includes these areas of study as well as aspects of the social sciences that use humanistic methods or content. The humanities also focus on reflecting diverse heritages and examining the relevance of these disciplines to contemporary society.
Gospel of Mark
The Gospel of Mark portrays Jesus as the Messiah and Son of God who fulfills scripture with his authoritative teachings, but is opposed and misunderstood. Jesus acknowledges to his disciples that he is the Christ but must suffer and die as the Son of God. At his death, even Jesus questions why God has forsaken him, but he is ultimately vindicated through his resurrection.
Film Stardom
This document discusses the concept of film stardom, including the difference between actors and stars. It explains that stars develop a recognizable screen persona through their films, promotion, and publicity. Stars can represent social types like the good guy or tough guy, but also have more complex, specific images. Studying a film in terms of its star and their character involves looking at whether the film selectively highlights parts of the star's image, if the image is a perfect fit for the character, or if the star's persona creates problems for the character construction.
Who's Who in The Thin Blue Line
This document lists the key people involved in the case of Randall Adams who was convicted of murdering Officer Robert Wood on November 28, 1976, including Adams, the man convicted; David Harris, who was with Adams; the three homicide detectives who investigated; the internal affairs investigator; police detectives in another city; friends of Harris; the defense and appellate attorneys; the judge; surprise eyewitnesses; and a gas station employee.
Continuity editing
This document discusses continuity editing techniques in film including establishing shots, two-shots, over-the-shoulder shots, close ups, eyeline matching, the 180-degree line, and crossing the 180-degree line. It provides examples from the films Notorious, Road to Perdition, and His Girl Friday to illustrate how continuity editing creates a sense of spatial and temporal continuity for viewers.
What are the humanities?
The document defines the humanities as the study of language, linguistics, literature, history, philosophy, archaeology, religion, ethics, and the arts. It notes that the humanities employ humanistic methods to study these subjects and examine how they relate to and reflect diverse cultures and societies. The humanities also include aspects of social sciences that use humanistic approaches. Some examples of humanities disciplines provided are English, history, languages, philosophy, and religious studies.
Making the movie
The document outlines the 4 main phases of film production: 1) scriptwriting and funding, 2) pre-production which involves planning locations, designs, and rehearsals, 3) production where the actual filming and recording takes place through multiple camera set-ups and shots, and 4) post-production which consists of editing, sound editing, visual effects, and scoring the completed film. Storyboards created in pre-production serve as blueprints to plan scenes during production.
Cinematography lighting
The document discusses three key aspects of cinematography lighting: quality, placement, and contrast. Lighting quality can be either hard or soft, placement refers to where the lights are positioned, and contrast deals with either high key or low key lighting setups. The document also provides an overview of three elements to analyze in cinematography: framing, lighting, and focal depth.

Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
