The document discusses representation and ideology in media texts. It provides examples of how political figures like David Cameron are represented differently in various media outlets ranging from newspapers to cartoons. It also summarizes Stuart Hall's three views of representation - the reflectionist view which sees representation as a true reflection, the intentional view which sees it as the presenter's own opinion, and the constructionist view which sees it as a mixture of the event itself, opinions of those representing it, reactions to the representation, and the social context.

30 aug2020 antifa beyond the smoke and broken mirrors-catinomartincatino
ANTIFA and its associates, partners, and networks have created destruction and instability across the United States while challenging the very foundations of American freedom. Understanding ANTIFA’s essential strategies, operations, and tactics is critical for countering their subversive agenda which targets our political system, law enforcement community, social structures (educational, racial, and religious), freedom of speech and media, as well as our economic strengths including attacks on small business owners. Occupied Zones, Black Bloc tactics, Affinity Groups, “armed self-defense,” direct action, and dark networks will be critical subjects in this presentation.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Close encounters
with the Third Reich
by Robert Entman and Francis Seymour
from Jump Cut, no. 18, August 1978, pp. 3-6

"So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find someone to worship … This craving for community of worship is the chief misery of every man individually and of all humanity from the beginning of time … There are three powers, three powers alone, able to conquer and hold [humanity] captive forever … those forces are miracle, mystery, and authority."
— The Grand Inquisitor in Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov(1)
We think Steven Spielberg's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND deserves careful attention. This belief is not based on its contributions to the art of film—we couldn't find any. But we do think it has a lot to tell us about the relationship of politics to the U.S. culture industry.
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND reflects recent economic and ideological trends in the United States better than many "news" reports. A study of this movie shows how capitalism produces propaganda that reinforces the system at the same time it creates "entertainment." Specifically, we argue that CLOSE ENCOUNTERS can be viewed as a fascist film. We'll show that its theme, structure, and symbolism strongly echo those of the films of pre-fascist and Nazi Germany. Then we'll draw the political lessons. (2)
For those few who somehow missed the film or the news stories about it, here is a brief outline. The plot revolves around the visiting of middle America (Muncie, Indiana) by a number of unidentified flying objects. Although the UFOs are sighted by many reliable citizens and leave clear evidence of their presence, news media and government officials (at least publicly) dismiss reports of the visits. But the aliens do two main things to make sure their visits will be acknowledged. They broadcast numbers that correspond to the latitude and longitude of Devil's Tower, Wyoming, where they plan to land. And they implant, by telepathic suggestion, a picture of Devil's Tower on a number of people, who then feel an overwhelming urge to go there, a need they don't understand.
The plot works on two corresponding levels. The main plot involves the struggle of two common citizens, Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) and Jillian Guiler (Melinda Dillon) first to understand the aliens' message and then to overcome the attempts of authorities to prevent them from getting to Devil's Tower for the alien landing. The subplot concerns the process by which scientific and military officials, headed by Frenchman Claude Lacombe (François Truffaut) decipher the aliens' transmissions and get the meeting point up so the UFOs will land.
These plots compose the first section of a two-part narrative. The movie's real purpose is the climactic close encounter of the third kind (physical contact) with extraterrestrial beings. Th.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
