The document discusses several narrative theories and how they relate to psychological horror films like The Shining. It outlines Todorov's narrative structure of equilibrium, disruption, and new equilibrium. It also discusses Propp's 8 character types and 31 narrative functions. Additionally, it examines Levi-Strauss's theory of binary oppositions in narratives and how films like The Shining and Twin Peaks use good vs evil dichotomies. Finally, it analyzes Roland Barthes' five codes - hermeneutic, proairetic, semantic, symbolic, and cultural - that are woven into narratives to develop tension, meaning, and cultural references.
This PowerPoint is part of my A2 Media Studies coursework. It briefly explains narrative theory, before going on to talk about different narrative theorists, and how their theories are relevant to my work.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
4. Todorov's Theory in relation to The Shining
• The beginning of the film starts with an equilibrium. E.g. Jack Torrance is a
normal writer and recovering alcoholic(disruption of the Equilibrium). But,
he goes to a violent hotel where he becomes a monster. At the end of the
film, an equilibrium is restored because characters 'Dandy and Wendy'
escape, they are free. Jack Torrance freezes to death.
7. • Vladimir Propp believed that were only 8 character types with 31 functions.
• This can be applied to The Shining, Twin Peaks: Fire away with me and
insidious.
8. Propp's in relation to psychological horrors
• In a psychological Horror film there is typically a villain and a hero.There is
also a donor e.g. someone who gets given something special/ supernatural.
This is shown in the films 'Insidious' and 'The Shining' through the children
who have been given a 'gift'.
10. • I would apply all psychological Horror films to the Levi-Strauss’s Binary
Oppositions
• For example, The shining is good against evil e.g. Jack Torrance against his
wife and son.
• Twin Peaks: Fire walk with me is about tying to solve the mystery of the
‘bad’ person who killed Laura Palmer with the help of the ‘good’ (FBI)
11. Roland Barthes's enigma code
Linguist Roland Barthes described Five Codes which are woven into any narrative.
12. The Hermeneutic Code (HER)
The Hermeneutic Code refers to any element of the story that is not fully explained and
hence becomes a mystery to the reader.
This is applicable to the Shining Opening title sequence. For example, where are they driving
too? Why is the location so remote?
The enigmas established in the opening tile sequence of Insidious include; why are there
ghosts in the house? What is their motif? Has the house always been haunted?
13. The Proairetic Code (ACT)
The Proairetic Code also builds tension, referring to any other action or event that indicates something
else is going to happen, and which hence gets the reader guessing as to what will happen next.
The Hermeneutic and Proairetic Codes work as a pair to develop the story's tensions and keep the
reader interested.
14. The Semantic Code (SEM)
This code refers to connotation within the story that gives additional meaning over the basic
denotative meaning of the word.
It is by the use of extended meaning that can be applied to words that authors can paint rich pictures
with relatively limited text and the way they do this is a common indication of their writing skills.
15. The Symbolic Code (SYM)
This is very similar to the Semantic Code, but acts at a wider level, organizing semantic meanings into
broader and deeper sets of meaning.
This is typically done in the use of antithesis, where new meaning arises out of opposing and conflict
ideas.
16. The Cultural Code (REF)
This code refers to anything that is founded on some kind of canonical works that cannot be challenged
and is assumed to be a foundation for truth.
Typically this involves either science or religion, although other canons such as magical truths may be
used in fantasy stories. The Gnomic Code is a cultural code that particularly refers to sayings, proverbs,
clichés and other common meaning-giving word sets.
