Strauss believed that we understand words in relation to their opposites, known as binary opposites. Examples of binary oppositions in media include hero/villain, good/evil, and sane/insane. Traditionally, binary oppositions in films were simple, like good vs. bad, but have become more complex. The Harry Potter films effectively portray the binary opposition between Harry (good) and Voldemort (evil) through their appearances and roles in the story.

Levi strauss binary opposites
The document discusses Levi Strauss' idea that narratives are structured around binary opposites such as hero/villain and how we understand words based on their opposites. It then explains how the media industry, particularly horror films, frequently uses binary opposites in themes such as old/young, sane/insane, life/death, human/supernatural, and good/evil to contrast dark and light.
Levi strauss Theory
Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist in the early 1900s who developed the theory of binary opposites. He argued that we understand words based on their relationship with their opposite (e.g. hero and villain). Binary opposites are commonly used in storytelling, especially in films, to provide protagonists and antagonists as well as themes of good vs evil. Reality television also employs binary opposites by pairing people with opposing traits, such as beauty and intelligence, to complete challenges.
Strauss binary opposites
Strauss developed the theory of binary opposites, which argues that words derive meaning from their relationship with opposing words. Binary opposites are frequently used in films, especially horror, with common pairs including good vs evil, sane vs insane, and human vs supernatural. While opposites were once simple, like good vs bad in fighting films, modern films use more complex and unusual pairs, as seen in the gradual revelation of vampires vs werewolves in the Twilight series. Harry Potter also relies on the clear binary of Harry as the good guy opposed to Voldemort as the evil one.
Binary opposition theory
Binary opposition theory proposes that meaning arises from fundamental pairs of opposites in language and thought. Lévi-Strauss believed myths were structured by binary oppositions like good vs evil, and that resolving one opposition created an illusion of resolving the original. In films, binary oppositions like hero vs villain provide the basis for plots and create a sense of balance. Common examples of binary opposites used in stories include rich vs poor, human vs supernatural, and young vs old.
Levi strauss’ theory of binary opposites
Levi Strauss' theory of binary opposites proposes that narratives are driven by opposing forces, such as heroes and villains, that are in conflict until a resolution or balance is reached. Some examples of binary opposites include light and dark, good and evil, human and alien. Horror films often use binary opposites, like Paranormal Activity which contrasts the natural and supernatural as well as night and day, and Jennifer's Body which opposes good and evil between the main characters.

Assignment 8: Narrative theory
This document provides an overview and analysis of various narrative theories including those proposed by Todorov, Levi-Strauss, Barthes, Propp, and Cameron. It discusses the key concepts of each theorist such as Todorov's 5 stages of narrative, Levi-Strauss' concept of binary oppositions, Barthes' codes, Propp's 7 character types and 31 functions, and Cameron's modular narratives. Examples are given for each concept drawing from films like The Hunger Games.
AS Media Superhero genre/Narrative
There are two main types of superhero narratives - light and fun films that are family-friendly but predictable, and darker and grittier films featuring extreme violence and ambiguous morality. An analysis of superhero origin stories found they typically establish equilibrium, face a disruption, recognize how to overcome it, deal with complications, and restore a new equilibrium. Common flaws for protagonists include arrogance, ignorance, and inner struggles they must accept to achieve their potential.

Narrative theory
This document discusses several narrative theorists and how their theories relate to the film The Shining. It examines Vladimir Propp's identification of character roles and narrative functions, and how some but not all apply to characters in The Shining. It also discusses Bordwell and Thompson's ideas about how narratives shape events in time and space, and how techniques like flashbacks demonstrate this in The Shining. Finally, it analyzes Claude Levi-Strauss's concept of binary oppositions revealed in the text, and Tzvetan Todorov's model of equilibrium disruption and restoration, both of which can be seen in elements of The Shining.
Narrative powerpoint
Narratives across different cultures generally follow common structural patterns involving disruption of equilibrium, action in response, and restoration of a new equilibrium, with theorists like Propp and Campbell identifying universal narrative archetypes like The Hero's Journey. Narrative theory examines how stories are constructed through elements like characters, events, themes, and the relationship between the story and its telling. Understanding narrative conventions and how they shape meaning is important for analyzing how media texts engage audiences.
Kiss of the vampire
This poster for the 1963 horror film "Kiss of the Vampire" depicts two vulnerable young women being attacked by bats at night, with the vampire protagonist lurking in the background. The summary analyzes how the poster uses representations of gender, with the women portrayed as weak and objectified compared to the strong male vampire. It also examines the cultural context of 1960s gender and racial stereotypes present in the poster's imagery and symbolism.
Claude levi strauss
Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist who developed the theory of binary oppositions. He believed that the meaning we derive from words depends not on their literal definition but on their relationship with their opposite. Binary oppositions structure how we understand concepts through paired ideas like good vs evil, light vs dark, past vs future. The document provides examples of how binary oppositions are used in film trailers to set up conflicts between protagonists and antagonists, characters with contrasting personalities, and themes of love vs war or humans vs zombies.
Approaches To Narrative Theory
The document discusses various approaches to analyzing narratives. It describes Aristotle's view that narratives have a beginning, middle, and end. It also outlines Vladimir Propp's analysis of 31 possible narrative functions that tend to appear in folktales in a consistent sequence. Additionally, it discusses Joseph Campbell's concept of the "monomyth" or hero's journey narrative structure that is common across cultures.
Kirstie and lauren, narrative
1. Todorov created a narrative theory in 1969 that most stories follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium by an event, and restoration of a new equilibrium.
2. Propp identified 7 character types that commonly appear in stories, including the villain, donor, dispatcher, and hero.
3. Levi-Strauss discussed the concept of binary oppositions, or pairs of opposites like raw vs cooked, that structure human thought and culture.
Prop character types (A2 media studies)
Vladimir Propp was a Russian formalist scholar who studied folk tales in the 1920s. He identified that many folk tales shared similar narrative structures and characters fulfilling narrative functions that drive the plot. Propp's theory outlines character archetypes like the hero, villain, donor, and princess. His work influenced filmmaking and showed that fairy tales follow a specific narrative structure. Propp's theory can be applied to analyze the plot and characters of horror films like Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre in terms of the hero confronting the villain while receiving help from donors.
Vladimir propp
Vladimir Propp was a literary scholar who developed a theory of narrative structure and character types. He proposed that all stories contain eight character archetypes, including the villain, dispatcher, helper, princess/prize, donor, and hero. Propp's theory influenced storytelling and filmmaking by providing a framework for crafting narratives with recognizable characters fulfilling specific functions that drive the plot forward.
Narrative Theory
The document discusses several influential narrative theorists and their contributions:
1) Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian fairytales and identified character archetypes like the hero, villain, donor.
2) Tzvetan Todorov proposed most narratives have an initial state of equilibrium, a disruption, then resolution to a new equilibrium.
3) Roland Barthes identified five codes that structure narratives: action, enigma, symbolic, semic, cultural.
4) Claude Levi-Strauss studied how myths unconsciously reflect a culture's beliefs through binary oppositions like civilized/savage.
Binary Opposites
Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist who developed the theory of "binary oppositions," which argues that humans understand concepts based on their opposites. Examples include good vs. bad, power vs. weak, man vs. woman. Media like early Star Wars portrayed simple binary oppositions through clearly good or bad characters, while later works like Twilight became more complex. Harry Potter effectively used binary oppositions through imagery that clearly divided the protagonist and antagonist. All narratives rely on some form of binary opposition as the basis of their conflict.

Tzvetan Todorov suggested most narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium by an outside force, and restoration of a new equilibrium. Roland Barthes proposed that narratives use five codes - action, enigma, symbolic, semantic, and cultural - to engage the reader. Finally, Claude Levi-Strauss examined how stories unconsciously reflect cultural values through symbolic binary oppositions like good vs evil.

It describes Claude Levi-Strauss's theory of binary opposites, such as good vs evil, that are commonly used in narratives. It also outlines Roland Barthes' concept of an "enigma code" used in opening sequences to engage audiences with questions. Additionally, it summarizes Vladimir Propp's identification of character archetypes like the hero, villain, and donor in folktales. Finally, it discusses Tzvetan Todorov's model of narrative equilibrium being disrupted and later restored.
VladimiVladimir Propp's 7 Character Types and Their Relation to Our Short Film
1) Vladimir Propp was a Russian scholar who believed there are 7 character types and 31 narrative functions that follow in stories.
2) The 7 character types are the hero, villain, magical helper, donor, dispatcher, princess, and false hero.
3) In the short film, Richard fulfills the roles of helper, dispatcher, and donor as he helps Eve complete her quest and gives her his van. Eve is the hero. Death acts as the villain. The film does not include a false hero.
Narrative theory
The document discusses different models of narrative structure that can be applied to media texts, including Propp's 31 narrative functions model, Todorov's 5-stage model of narrative, and Roland Barthes' 5 codes of narrative. Propp believed narratives follow a sequence of 31 possible functions or plot points, such as one family member leaving home or a villain deceiving the victim. Todorov saw narratives as moving from an initial equilibrium, through disruption, an attempt to rectify it, to a new equilibrium. Barthes identified codes like hermeneutic (mystery), proairetic (action), and semantic (meaning).
Monstrous feminine
Barbara Creed developed a theory of the "monstrous feminine" in horror films, building on Freud's ideas of the pre-Oedipal stage and castration anxiety. She argues that in horror films, women are often portrayed as monstrous and abject, representing the threat of castration. For example, in Halloween the final girl Lorry takes on this role when she kills the killer Michael Myers with a phallic symbol, becoming the monster herself. Creed's theory examines how psychological concepts of the mother-child relationship and separation from the mother get mapped onto gender in horror films.

This document discusses several narrative theories and how they relate to the films The Crazies (2010) and Halloween (1978). It analyzes the films using the concepts of the classic Hollywood narrative structure, Vladimir Propp's character archetypes, Claude Levi-Strauss's theory of binary opposition, and Bordwell and Thompson's definition of narrative as a chain of cause-and-effect events. Overall, it examines how the two films both conform to and deviate from traditional narrative patterns through plot points and characterizations.
2010's thrillers
The document discusses thrillers from the 2010s. It notes that the cancellation of the Hays Code in 1967 allowed thrillers to include more serious, violent and taboo topics. Modern thrillers from the 21st century depict confrontations between characters and challenges to reality in narratives. They also feature more complex representations of gender and portray main characters as antiheroes rather than purely positive heroes. The document provides examples of acclaimed 2010s thrillers like Black Swan, Inception, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and Room that demonstrate these trends in modern thriller films.

The Feminist Theory
Feminist theory explores how gender inequality is portrayed in media such as film. Horror films of the 1970s-1980s often objectified and brutalized female characters in misogynistic ways. However, the "final girl" theory introduced the idea of a female hero character who survives confronting the villain. Still, women were often depicted as "nerdy virgins" who had to behave morally. The Bechdel test, which measures female representation in films, found that 43% of films fail to portray women in a meaningful way by having no more than one named female character or conversations not focused on men. While progress has been made, many films still revolve around male stories and perspectives.
Films with a psychological theme
This document discusses common psychological themes in films, including guilt, mystery, imagination, and suspense. It provides examples and summaries of four films that effectively incorporate these themes:
1) Shutter Island explores guilt and ambiguity regarding reality through the story of a man investigating a disappearance at a mental institution who may actually be an incarcerated patient.
2) Inception uses themes of guilt over a wife's death and ambiguous reality through a character who implants an idea in his wife's mind that causes her suicide.
3) Black Swan portrays the psychological breakdown of a ballerina obsessed with perfection through the contrast of her "white swan" and "black swan" personas.
4) Z
Figurative language 1[1]
The document discusses different types of figurative language techniques including metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, idiom, and more. It provides examples of each technique from literature and explains how authors use descriptive language to help readers visualize scenes. The document also notes that understanding figurative language is important for writing effectively.
Alliteration & assonance
This document defines and provides examples of alliteration, consonance, and assonance. It explains that alliteration involves repeating initial consonant sounds in words, consonance involves repeating internal consonant sounds, and assonance involves repeating vowel sounds. Examples are given of how these literary devices are used in company names, characters, songs, and poems. The document cautions against overusing these devices in writing.

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.

Strauss Binary Opposites
- 1. STRAUSS BINARY OPPOSITES Matt Cairns and Jake Worgan
- 2. WHERE’S THIS THEORY CAME FROM?… Strauss was a French anthropologist born in the earl 1900’s. He believed that the way we understand certain words depends not so much on any meaning they themselves directly contain, but much more by our understanding of the difference between the word and its 'opposite' or, as he called it 'binary opposites'. For example, from a philosophical perspective, it could be argued that the evil in the world helps us to understand or appreciate the ‘good’ in life. Without evil in the world then we would not understand the concept of good. This can be related to media.
- 3. EXAMPLES… Our understanding of the word "villain" depends on the difference between that word and the opposing word "hero". To really understand who the hero is, we have to see an evil contrasting character. Many horror films include sets of binary oppositions in their plots. Particularly good and evil, sane and insane, rational and irrational and human and supernatural. It is important to note that the binary opposites may not be human but can merely be to opposites within a film. Levi claims all films have some form of conflict or battle between two different sides.
- 4. BINARY OPPOSITES IN THE PAST…Binary opposites used to be very simple and easy to spot in films, such as good VS bad in traditional fighting films. However in recent years they have become more complex and unusual. For example, Twilight films hide the war between vampire and werewolves in the first few films but it is revealed later.
- 5. ANOTHER EXAMPLE… Harry is constantly seen as the ‘good’ guy in the films Harry Potter and he has always been wanted dead by Voldemort who is seen as the ‘evil’ guy throughout the film. The image to the right is very effective as it expresses the binary opposite clearly to the audience. Voldemort is immediately portrayed as the “bad guy” by looking scary or abnormal.
- 6. TYPES OF BINARY OPPOSITES Rich vs Poor Protagonist vs Antagonist Man vs Woman Good Looking vs Ugly Strong vs Weak North vs South Humanity vs Technology Good vs Evil Black vs White Boy vs Girl Peace vs War Civilised vs Uncivilised Democracy vs Dictatorship Young vs Old
