The document discusses various theories of narrative film, including what narrative theory is, examples of where stories can be found, and several theorists who have contributed concepts to narrative film theory. It explains that narrative theory analyzes how a story is structured and presented to an audience. Some key concepts discussed include Todorov's theory of narrative structure, Propp's character archetypes, and Barthes' five codes for analyzing films.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. WHAT NARRATIVE THEORY IS
➤ Narrative Theory is the way in which a story is told in both a
fictional and non-fictional media texts.
➤ Narrative can be defined as ‘a chain of events in a cause-effect
relationship occurring in time’.
➤ Narrative Theory could also imply the way of which curtain
events are put together to be presented to the audience.
➤ It can be applied to film, tv, photographs and magazines.
3. WHERE DO WE SEE/HEAR STORIES
➤ Tv programmes
➤ Novels and short stories
➤ Films
➤ Advertisements
➤ News in papers, tv or radio
➤ Social Media: Facebook, snapchat, twitter etc
➤ Gossip
4. “ONCE UPON A TIME”
➤ Once - this word invites the audience into the narrative world,
it will always happen in the past tense.
➤ Upon a Time - this tells the audience that what is happening
is different from our time, in a time that is not now.
➤ The Once Upon a Time concept can be applied to film because
it essentially means that all films start with a beginning - an
equilibrium as Todorov states - a starting point where
everything in the film world is ‘Ok’.
5. TODOROV (1969)
➤ Todorov is a Bulgarian literary theorist
➤ This theory suggest that all most all stories or plot lines have the same pattern or path.
➤ The 5 steps in this pattern
1. Equilibrium - the happy start of the story.
2. A Disruption - a problem or something disruptive has occurred.
3. Realisation - when the problem is realised and its a chaos.
4. Restored Order - when the characters what to attempt to repair the damage and fix the
problem.
5. Equilibrium - the final part of the plot. The problem is fixed and everyone/thing can be happy
again.
6. PROPPS (1929)
➤ This Russian critic identified that most folks tales were similar. He then
identified a theory about characters and actions s a narrative function. He
decided that characters should have a narrative function because they provide a
structure for the text.
7. PROPP’S CHARACTER TYPES - CHARACTER EXAMPLES IN FILM

something about
Mary - The Princess or
Damsel in Distress
Morpheus from The matrix- The
Donor sends - Neo on a quest

9. ROLAND BARTHES (1960S)
➤ Roland Barthes suggested in his analysis of film that 1 or more of
5 codes can describe a film text. The film text can be either
“open” or “closed” he says, meaning it can be unravelled in a lot
of different ways and meaning is given to the audience through
these different ways.
➤ The 5 codes:
1. Enigma code
2. Action code
3. Semantic code
4. Symbolic code
5. Referential code
10. ACTION CODES
➤ These signifies events which move the narrative on n a particular
direction e.g. knock on the door or a phone ringing. These actions are
used to change the scene/narrative for a specific reasons. They allow the
audience to know something different the characters or the plot. They
supply information to the audience about the narrative.
Action codes pass meaning to the audience
about the narrative and plot.
➤ Examples:
1. Starting of a car
2. Flashing lights
3. Sirens
4. Hospital bed wheels
11. ENIGMA CODES
➤ This is a question given within the narrative that cannot immediately be answered without
continuing to watch the film and thus draws the audience into a text.
➤ E.g. a body is discovered at the beginning of the of a thriller movie. The killer’s identity is the
enigma. The audience continue watching to find out who the killer is.
➤ The Use of Enigma Codes within a film - The use of enigma codes in the classic psychological
thriller for example starts with a woman running through some sort of misty woods, this makes the
audience ask… who is she? why is she running?
➤ As she runs on, you then see her climb over part of an assault course which then answers one of
the questions for the audience - she is an FBI agent… this plot devices of using props in this ways
gives the audience a little bit of information but not to much…. next her phone rings…Mr
Crawford wants to see her. Next the audience ask… who is Mr Crawford and what does he want?…
and so on… this use of misery and suspense is what engages the audience to watch a film or TV
show after the initial few minutes
12. TECHNICAL AND SYMBOLIC CODES IN FILM OPENINGS
➤ Codes and conventions are a key part of film language. Codes and
conventions are the aspect of film that give meaning to the audience. Codes are
systems of signs, which create meaning for the audience. Codes can be divided
into two categories – technical and symbolic.
➤ Technical codes are all the ways in which film making equipment is used to
tell the story, for example the camera shots and movements chosen by a
director. In this screen shot below, the close up of a ‘ticking bomb’ tells the
audience that firstly, there is a ticking bomb, secondly it gives the audience a
sense of time - time may be running out for the characters within the film
narrative. Lastly it creates drama - this specifically chosen close up of this film
element has given meaning to the audience about the narrative of the film -
This is the Symbolic code of this camera shot - it shows the audience what is
beneath the surface of what we see - a deeper sense of narrative is created.
