Dystopian narratives
Dystopian narratives often depict a negative future where society is oppressive and unpleasant. They frequently feature a totalitarian government, loss of civil rights, and human oppression. Examples discussed include the films Divergent and The Hunger Games, which portray futures with harsh environments and societies divided into factions or districts vying against each other.
Action genre research
Action films typically involve the protagonist facing a series of challenges involving violence, combat, stunts, and chases. Three iconic action films are 300 about King Leonidas leading 300 Spartans into battle against the Persians, The Matrix about Morpheus awakening Neo to the real world that is a machine-controlled simulation, and Die Hard about police officer John McClane thwarting a cyber attack on America's infrastructure during a holiday celebration. The history of action films progressed from early westerns and war films to introduce the resourceful hero in the 1960s, fuse with detective and crime genres in the 1970s, and become more popular with special effects and franchises in the 1990s and 2000s by combining with other

1960's horror
The document discusses horror films of the 1960s. Key developments included more low-budget gore films appearing, Night of the Living Dead challenging social taboos, and zombies beginning to consume human flesh by the late 1960s. Horror films also reflected the real horrors of the Vietnam War and Manson family murders, as manufactured monsters were no longer needed to scare audiences. Comedy horror reemerged as well in films like The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Gorenography
This document discusses the rise of "torture porn" or "gore-nography" films in the 2000s that contained graphic depictions of torture. It notes that while torture had been used in horror films before, the 2000s films showed it in a more realistic and visceral way. This was influenced by real reports of torture in places like Guantanamo Bay prison. However, the genre began to decline by the late 2000s as films pushing the boundaries of gore, like Captivity, received criticism and failed commercially. Key films associated with the "torture porn" genre are identified.
Torture media
The document discusses several horror films involving torture, including Saw and Hostel. It analyzes how these films reflected anxieties in society at the time. Saw was released in 2004, less than a year after the Abu Ghraib torture scandal, and depicted graphic torture. Hostel from 2005 featured American male tourists being tortured for sport at a hostel in Eastern Europe, capturing the naivete of young American travelers abroad. The document examines how directors drew from real events and fears to create these influential torture-focused horror franchises.
Horror then and now
Horror movies have changed over time to keep engaging audiences. In the 1960s, Dracula was scary due to its supernatural elements, which were unfamiliar, but today's audiences are desensitized to supernatural themes. Similarly, films like The Curse of Frankenstein in the past terrified viewers by exploring unknown scientific possibilities, but advances in knowledge have reduced their shock value now. Recent horror films like Pulse and One Missed Call scare audiences through technology like phones, adapting to changes in what people find frightening.

Dystopian Worlds
A dystopian society is characterized by oppression, violence, disease and pollution. It is the opposite of a utopia, which is an ideal community. Dystopias in literature serve as warnings about oppressive regimes and criticize current cultural trends. Examples of famous dystopian texts include George Orwell's 1984, published in 1949, and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World from 1932, which depict totalitarian states and the loss of individual freedom. Characteristics of dystopias include imaginary future worlds, oppressive regimes, and dehumanizing technological advancements.

Hammer horror presentation
Hammer Horror is a British film production company founded in 1934 that had great success in the 1950s with its Gothic horror films, particularly its series of Dracula films starring Christopher Lee as Count Dracula. The Dracula films employed vivid colors, graphic violence, and suggestive sexuality to dramatize Bram Stoker's novel and were worldwide hits, but the company ceased film production in the mid-1980s. Terence Fisher directed the first Dracula film in 1958 that launched the Hammer Horror franchise.
Roots in literature
This document summarizes three classic horror stories from literature that helped establish the genre:
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley tells the story of a scientist who creates a monster from assembled body parts, sparking criticism from religious groups. Dracula, directed in 1931, is about the vampire Count Dracula preying on young women in England. When re-released in 1936, some scenes were cut due to stricter censorship. Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson features a doctor who transforms into a murderous alternate personality after drinking a potion.
Case study viral marketing
Viral marketing is effective advertising that spreads brand exposure through social networks. The Blair Witch Project used viral marketing successfully in 1999 with a budget of $60,000 by having the actors update a fictional website about their characters going missing to generate buzz. District 9 used a viral marketing campaign beginning in 2008 that featured fictional news reports and surveillance footage to promote the low-budget science fiction film, which went on to be a sleeper hit in 2009.
Horror a history thing
Horror films strive to elicit emotions of fear, disgust, and horror from viewers through frightening scenes and depictions of the macabre and supernatural. They often overlap with thriller and science fiction genres. While some films focus on the supernatural, others deal with topics like serial killers, diseases, or surrealism. Famous early horror films included Frankenstein and Dracula in the 1930s, while the 1970s and 80s saw a rise in slasher films due to advances in technology. More recently, psychological horror films without sequels, like The Others, have been very successful financially.

Mutant creatures and aliens
In the 1950s, audiences were introduced to movies featuring mutant creatures and aliens. Some of the most popular sci-fi films of the decade included The Thing, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, It Came from Outer Space, and War of the Worlds. These films represented the cutting edge of special effects at the time and helped draw audiences away from television. Monster movies also stemmed from public fears generated by the atomic bomb and offered a vision of destruction created by non-humans rather than humans. Films in the 1950s focused on the effects of new technologies like the atom bomb rather than the war, fueling fears that technology could mutate and deform people. This started a trend of
Dystopian novels
The document discusses several influential dystopian novels including 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451. It summarizes the key events and themes of each novel, such as totalitarian control in 1984, engineered happiness through loss of individuality in Brave New World, and censorship through book burning in Fahrenheit 451. Each novel served as a cautionary tale about modern societal trends and reflected the authors' concerns about issues like totalitarianism, mass conformity, and censorship.
History of horror
Horror is a genre intended to frighten or scare readers and viewers. The first horror film originated in 1896 by Georges Méliès, though the genre became most influential in the 1920s with German expressionist films. In the 1930s, Universal Studios brought famous monster films like Frankenstein to screens. The 1950s saw a rise in films about mad scientists and mutant creatures reflecting Cold War fears. Iconic 1960s films like Psycho and Night of the Living Dead increased violence and controversy. The 1970s tackled social issues, and films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre featured graphic violence. Slashers dominated the 1980s, while the 1990s saw critical successes like Silence of the Lambs and large-budget
1930’s horror
The 1930s saw the rebirth of horror movies with the advent of sound films. Sound added tension through music, footsteps, and other audio cues. Universal Pictures launched a successful horror film series including Tod Browning's Dracula (1931) and James Whale's Frankenstein (1931), which blended Gothic horror and science fiction. These films featured iconic monsters created by makeup artist Jack Pierce and starred actors like Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi who built careers in the genre. Frankenstein contained controversial scenes that were cut for its original release involving the monster drowning a girl and Frankenstein's line "Now I know what it feels like to be God!"
Barack Insane Obama
This document analyzes Barack Obama and his supporters as exhibiting signs of narcissistic personality disorder. It claims Obama is a charismatic but pathological narcissist who has gained popularity through cult-like devotion from his supporters. Examples are given of other historical figures, like Fidel Castro, Ayatollah Khomeini and Adolf Hitler, who rose to power in a similar fashion through personality cults. The document argues that logic and facts will not deter Obama's supporters and the only way to defeat him is by outnumbering his "cultists" with votes for his opponent, John McCain.

2) The Silent Age from 1913-1927 featured the emergence of Hollywood and use of techniques like camera movement to develop stories.
3) The Transition Age from 1928-1932 was when films moved from silent to adding synchronized sound.
4) The Hollywood Studio Age from 1932-1946 was dominated by major studios producing genre films.
5) The Internationalist Age from 1947-1959 saw the decline of studios and rise of challenges from foreign films and television.

It also summarizes plots involving the mafia, drug addiction, and a violent gang in a futuristic Britain.
Horror Movies and Surveillance FINAL
The document discusses how modern horror films often reflect contemporary societal fears and anxieties related to surveillance and privacy. In the late 1970s and 1980s, zombie and body snatcher films captured the fear of communist infiltration during the Cold War. Following 9/11, films featured "spectatorial voyeurism" where the villain watches victims through technology. This reflected fears over government surveillance programs. Ultimately, people may fear most that surveillance could reveal private desires or lead to misinterpretation of activities and intentions. Horror films serve as an outlet to process collective anxieties over issues like privacy, control, and the potential for abuse of power through invasive watching.
Dystopian Themes In 1984
Dystopian literature focuses on societies where individual freedom is restricted and citizens live in fear of disobeying authority. In 1984, equality is enforced to such an extreme that individuality is seen as dangerous. Citizens are controlled through fear and limiting freedom. Dissent against society's rules is punished harshly. While most people conform, some individuals rebel against the dystopian system.

Reality Television Oxymoron George Will WASHINGTON.docx
Reality Television: Oxymoron
George Will
WASHINGTON--Fred Allen, a mordantly sophisticated radio performer, died (mercifully, if not
causally) just as television was permeating America, in 1956. He warned us: ``Imitation is the
sincerest form of television.'' So there will be imitations of ``Fear Factor.'' That NBC program, in
its first episode last week, attracted nearly 12 million voyeurs to watch simpletons confront their
fears, for a fee. In that episode, confronters were covered by a swarm of biting rats. This week
the program featured a willingness to eat worms and sit in a tub of them. ``Fear Factor'' is an
imitation of an MTV program, ``Jackass,'' named, perhaps, for its target viewer. But American
television is being imitative. ABC's ``Nightline'' reports that French, Spanish and Japanese
television have similar programming, although none has--yet--matched the Peruvian show that
pays poor people to eat maggots and be splattered with frog excrement. Last spring NBC
concocted XFL football, promising more violence on the field and more cheerleaders' breasts on
the sidelines than the NFL provides. The league drew a big audience for the first telecast, but the
ratings began to plunge by the third quarter, and the league died after one season. Optimists
concluded that NBC had underestimated the viewing public. The optimists were, as usual,
wrong. NBC understood that it had underestimated only the perversity required to rivet the
attention of millions in an era when graphic violence and sexual puerilities are quotidian
television. So NBC sank to the challenge of thinking lower. But it had better not rest on its
laurels because its competitors in the race to the bottom will not rest, and the bottom is not yet in
sight. The possible permutations of perversity programming--the proper name for what is called,
oxymoronically, ``reality television''--are as limitless as, apparently, is the supply of despicably
greedy or spectacularly stupid people willing to degrade themselves for money. (A philosophical
puzzle: Can such people be degraded? But perhaps the monetary incentive is superfluous, given
today's endemic exhibitionism that makes many people feel unrecognized, unauthenticated--or
something--unless they are presented, graphically, to an audience. Ours is an age besotted with
graphic entertainments. And in an increasingly infantilized society, whose moral philosophy is
reducible to a celebration of ``choice,'' adults are decreasingly distinguishable from children in
their absorption in entertainments and the kinds of entertainments they are absorbed in--video
games, computer games, hand-held games, movies on their computers and so on. This is
progress: more sophisticated delivery of stupidity. An optimistic premise of our society, in which
``choice'' is the ideal that trumps all others, is that competition improves things, burning away the
dross and leaving the gold. This ofte ...

While the film depicts the cult-like group Project Mayhem and its calls for violence, Fincher sees this as representing the main character's mental instability and addiction to pain, rather than promoting any political ideology. Ultimately, the film is a critique of consumer culture that leaves people feeling empty, and highlights how this can lead one to seek meaning in extremist groups.

Concrete poetry lesson
This document summarizes a lesson plan in a Russian 8th grade English class on the topic of different types of housing around the world. The lesson goals are to improve vocabulary related to housing, develop creative thinking and imagination, and expand students' knowledge of housing in other cultures. Students read and discuss a sample poem about skyscrapers, then practice writing their own poems describing different types of housing using a provided structure and word bank. The lesson concludes with student reflections on what they learned.
Poetry booklet
This document contains several short poems and summaries about homes and places of shelter:
A poem describes a small canvas tent that shelters the body and comforts the soul. Another discusses an Englishman's view of his home as his castle, where he finds serenity and comfort protected from the elements. A triangle shaped poem describes the important role of a house's roof in providing shelter and a view of the surrounding area.
Esp materials evaluation
The document outlines a process for systematically evaluating materials by first identifying requirements, then analyzing selected materials against those requirements using objective and subjective criteria. Materials are scored on a scale based on how well they match desired features, with the highest-scoring materials that match the most important criteria being selected. The evaluation process aims to match needs with available solutions in a way that saves effort and possible reveals existing materials that fulfill requirements.
Esp language descriptions
1. The document outlines various theories and approaches to describing language, including classical/traditional grammar, structural linguistics, transformational generative grammar, functional/notional grammar, register analysis, discourse analysis, and text-diagramming.
2. It notes that traditional grammar provides useful terms for discussing language, while structural linguistics describes grammar through syntagmatic structures and notions of time, number, and gender.
3. Transformational generative grammar examines two levels of meaning - deep and surface structures - and how language can be viewed in terms of form and function.
Esp theories of learning
The document discusses several theories of learning, including behaviorism which views learning as habit formation through reinforcement, mentalism which sees learning as acquiring rules through thinking, and cognitivism which considers learners as active processors of information who solve problems. It notes that while a need to acquire knowledge is necessary, learners should also enjoy the learning process. The conclusion advocates an eclectic approach drawing on useful aspects of different theories based on teaching experience rather than any single theory.

A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
