Bluest eye
This document contains discussion questions about Toni Morrison's novel "The Bluest Eye". It addresses themes in the novel like race relations, purity, and violence. It also analyzes Morrison's use of excerpts from Dick and Jane primers at the beginning of sections and the symbolism of a cat in the story. Finally, it discusses the perspective of seeing the story through different characters' eyes rather than the main character Pecola's direct point of view.
Representation of women
Carol Clover identified the "final girl" theory in her 1992 book Men, Women and Chainsaws. The final girl is a character who survives the longest in a horror film, often thwarting the villain. Typical traits of the final girl include being androgynous, not overly sexualized, and resilient by fighting back against threats. In 1983, Jeremy Tunstall identified that most female media roles fit into four categories - domestic, sexual, consumer, or marital. In 1992, research showed men outnumbered women two to one on screen. The only genre with a more equal ratio was prime time TV advertisements, though women were still portrayed in stereotypical gender roles.
Representation
The document discusses the inspiration and development of an idea for a short film about domestic violence. It was inspired by the short film "Bitter Silence" about child abuse. The main character Mr. Wicks, a teacher, was based on a character from that film who abused alcohol and his daughter. Like the film "Precious," it aims to portray the daughter as a vulnerable character overwhelmed by her father. The filmmakers wanted to show the contradiction between Mr. Wicks' roles as a teacher and abuser at home. The goal was to raise awareness of domestic violence and how it can be addressed.
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 (propp)
Vladimir Propp analyzed over 100 Russian folk tales and identified 31 recurring plot elements, which he called "functions", that comprised the basic narrative structure of folk tales. He also found that despite a variety of characters, there were only 8 fundamental character types that appeared in the stories - The Villain, The Helper, The Princess/Prize, Her Father, The Donor, The Hero, The False Hero, and The Dispatcher. Each character type plays a distinct role that advances the plot.

The document discusses the inspiration and development of an idea for a short film about domestic violence. It was inspired by the short film "Bitter Silence" which portrayed child abuse. The main character Mr. Wicks, a teacher, was based on a character from that film who abused alcohol and his family. Films like "Precious" informed the portrayal of the vulnerable female protagonist Lucy, showing the inferiority and lack of power of women. While trying to raise awareness of domestic violence, the film aims to portray the "traditional stereotype" of male dominance and female vulnerability through the relationship between Mr. Wicks and Lucy.
Communication studies Muted Group Theory
Muted Group Theory proposes that women are a muted group in society whose communication is discredited and whose perspective is not heard because language is constructed by men. The theory was developed by Cheris Kramarae, former director of Women's Studies at the University of Illinois. Kramarae analyzed 1970s cartoons depicting women as emotional and weak and noted that men and women see the world differently and communication between genders is uneven. Critics argue that the theory does not account for progress toward gender equality or contributions from men.
The traditional representation of women (questions)
The document discusses the traditional representation of women in media texts such as films and magazines. It provides details on tropes like the "final girl" in horror films and the four common roles of women in media identified in 1983: domestic, sexual, consumer, and marital. Research from 1992 found that men outnumbered women on screen by a ratio of 2 to 1, with the sole exception being primetime TV ads. The document also discusses how some characters like Lara Croft are seen as a step back from earlier stronger female protagonists like Ripley in Alien due to increased sexual objectification. Magazines are also noted to often portray women based on their domestic roles, sexuality, and through the "three C's"

the ratcatchers daughter - annotation guide
A remarkable story about a little-known tragedy in Australian history. 'A brilliant and richly evocative insight into a fascinating and little-known aspect of our past.' Jackie French, Australian Children's Laureate It's 1900. thirteen-year-old Issy McKelvie leaves school and starts her first job - very reluctantly - as a maid in an undertaking establishment. She thinks this is about as low as you can go. But there's worse to come. Issy becomes an unwilling rat-catcher when the plague - the Black Death - arrives in Australia. Issy loathes both rats and her father's four yappy, snappy, hyperactive rat-killing terriers. But when her father becomes ill it's up to Issy to join the battle to rid the city of the plague-carrying rats.
Common themes in psychological thrillers
The document discusses themes that are common in psychological thriller films, including guilt, mystery, imagination, and suspense. It provides an example of how these themes will be used in the film being produced. Specifically, the film will portray the main character Richard discovering that the girl Eve he has been interacting with is actually a ghost, representing the themes of imagination and guilt. It then provides two example films, Shutter Island and Inception, that effectively combine themes of guilt and ambiguous realities.
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.

A touch of frost
The document analyzes representations of disability in the TV show "A Touch of Frost" through its use of mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound, and editing. Key aspects highlighted include how lighting, costumes, shots, sound of speech, and editing are used to portray the disabled character Billy as vulnerable, dependent on others, secretive, and "different" compared to other characters like Detective Frost in ways that link to various theories about media representations of disability.
Vladimir Propp
Vladimir Propp was a Russian scholar who analyzed Russian folk tales and identified common narrative structures. He identified 31 narrative units that comprised the typical structure of many Russian folk tales. These units included character archetypes like the hero, villain, dispatcher, donor, and helper. Propp broke down how these characters interacted and progressed the story. For example, the villain acts against the hero while the dispatcher sends the hero on a quest and the donor provides assistance. Propp's theory provides a framework for understanding recurring patterns in folk tales and has been applied to other stories like the Harry Potter series.
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.
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.
Representation
This document discusses representations in media and how they relate to the characters in the production "The Darkness". It analyzes how the protagonist Rachel shares similarities with the character Elena Gilbert from "The Vampire Diaries" in that they are both innocent yet mysterious university students. It also examines how the antagonist Lucy shares traits with the characters Esther from "Orphan" and Freddy Krueger from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" in that all three manipulate their victims and appear in their dreams, though Lucy and Esther also have a disability that makes them appear younger than they are. These comparisons are made to show how the characters in "The Darkness" fit known representations and archetypes.
Theory
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folk tales and identified 8 character types that commonly appeared:
The Villain works against the Hero. In the document's book, the Villain is Spider who deceives the young Hero.
The Helper assists the Hero on their quests, like Donkey in Shrek or Chewbacca in Star Wars. In the book, no Helper is mentioned.
The Princess or prize is what the Hero wants, but the Villain may have taken her. The book's Hero is a young girl seeking to succeed against Spider by the end.
Modern drama
This document discusses themes of equality between men and women in George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion. It notes that Shaw portrays women in the play as willful and walking side by side with men in all fields of life. Both men and women are shown to have positive and negative traits. The document argues that Shaw aimed to depict this natural situation and showcase women's willfulness as equal to men's, challenging the beliefs of previous eras that tended to portray women negatively and men positively in all aspects of life.

Term Paper Comm Theories
The document discusses several communication and relationship theories and how they relate to scenes in various films. Reinforcement theory and expectancy violation theory are related to scenes in the film "Woman in Ruins" where a woman's attitudes change after torture and discovering she is pregnant. Elaboration likelihood theory and social penetration theory are applied to scenes in "Blue Bustamante" about a man persuading another to become a stuntman and developing a relationship. Uncertainty reduction theory and attribution theory are discussed in reference to scenes where characters first meet and try to understand each other's behaviors. Social penetration theory and attribution theory are also applied to scenes in the film "Shift" about developing relationships and explaining behaviors.
Poem - Ballard of Birmingham
The document provides background information on poet Dudley Randall and analyzes his poem "Ballad of Birmingham". Randall was inspired to write the poem by the 1963 Birmingham church bombing that killed four young black girls. The poem depicts a mother's concern for her daughter's safety as the child wishes to march for civil rights in Birmingham. Though the mother sends her daughter to church instead, thinking it safer, the daughter is killed when the church is bombed. The analysis examines literary devices like symbolism, imagery, tone and theme in the poem. It highlights the poem's exploration of a parent's inability to fully protect their child and the need to prepare children for an unjust society.
Evaluation question 1
This document discusses how the media product challenges conventions of representing relationships and gender in youth culture films. It uses scenes from the movies Kidulthood and Adulthood to represent typical tropes, such as a male character disrespecting his female partner, and a female portrayed as unorganized. The media product subverts these tropes by showing the main male character Caesar displaying affection and care for the female character Flo. It also challenges the representation of females as rowdy or boyish by portraying the female lead as sophisticated, educated, and feminine in her appearance. The locations are the same as in the source material but the characters are depicted very differently to challenge common stereotypes.
Propp Narrative
The document discusses Vladimir Propp's theory of narrative structures. Propp claimed that most stories contain similar character archetypes that fulfill common roles, which he called "spheres of action". These include the hero, villain, princess, father of the princess, false hero, helper, donor, and dispatcher. The document provides brief descriptions of the common roles fulfilled by each of these character types in stories according to Propp's theory.
Lesson 5 Misogyny
This document discusses issues around the portrayal of gender in popular culture. It examines examples of lyrics from hip hop music that contain explicit misogyny and objectification of women. It also discusses debates around whether certain music videos and media depictions reinforce patriarchal and sexist attitudes or attempt to subvert them. The document raises topics like cultivation theory, which proposes that repeated exposure to certain representations in media can influence people's views of the real world. It also discusses the concept of misandry, or hatred of men, and whether some media portrayals stereotype men in a negative or silly light. Overall, the document presents a wide range of perspectives on the complex interplay between gender, media, and society.
Strauss Binary Opposites
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.
Evaluation 4
The document discusses the target audience for a new media product - a horror/thriller film with a female protagonist. It will likely attract more female viewers, around 60%, since the central character is female. The target demographic is 15-24 year olds. Specifically, it profiles Anna, a 17-year old student, as emblematic of the target audience. Anna enjoys independent and art house films over big Hollywood productions. She is drawn to strong female leads and films that challenge her and make her think. She would be likely to watch this new film given its independent nature, supernatural elements, and emphasis on suspense and challenging viewers' perspectives.
Conflict in Literature
This document outlines four main types of conflict in literature: man vs. nature, man vs. self, man vs. society, and man vs. man. Examples are provided for each type, including Dorothy battling a tornado in The Wizard of Oz, the little engine doubting itself in The Little Engine That Could, Katniss rebelling against the oppressive government in The Hunger Games, and Cinderella's struggle with her step-mother. The document concludes that conflict typically presents an obstacle to the main character and brings about change within them.
How does your film opening represent particular social
The document analyzes the representation of characters in horror films based on location, ethnicity, gender, and age. It describes the setting of the film as a lab, implying the characters are educated scientists rather than working class. It notes that white female characters are typically strong and determined professionals like scientists or doctors, while the white female in this film seems more relaxed and talkative than driven. The black male character follows a common trope of being the first to make a mistake and get killed, acting as a heroic sacrifice. Men are usually portrayed as dominant and willing to fight threats, though the male character here is distracted by his work. Main female leads in horror tend to be determined teenagers but this character is laidback and survives by
Qoatation On Women P
The document contains a collection of quotes by various feminist authors on topics related to women's rights, equality, and empowerment. Some key themes that emerge are: the importance of women having control over their own lives and bodies; the need to challenge patriarchal systems and gender stereotypes; and the goal of creating a more just and equitable world where all people can reach their full potential regardless of gender.
Final Paper
This document provides an introduction and literature review for a study analyzing the portrayal of women in popular science fiction and fantasy television shows. The introduction discusses how women have gained more lead roles but are often still portrayed in a masculine way to be seen as strong heroes, or with feminine traits that are seen as weaknesses. The literature review summarizes previous research on strong female characters in sci-fi/fantasy and how they are often still objectified or defined by their relationship to male characters. It discusses the concept of patriarchy and the "male gaze" in media. The study aims to identify if subtle ways television is diminishing women's value through archetypes female leads fall into.

Neo - Classical Literature
Anti-sentimental comedy reacted against sentimental comedy by emphasizing wit, irony, farce, disguise, and marriage for both love and money. It used these characteristics to provoke laughter through exaggerated portrayals of people in impossible situations, rather than addressing the audience's sense of goodness. Some examples of plays that used this anti-sentimental style are She Stoops to Conquer, The Rivals, and The School for Scandal. Unlike sentimental comedy, anti-sentimental comedy focused more on lovers and used subplots in a dramatic way to depict relationships and pathos.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
