Tzvetan todorov
Todorov's narrative theory proposes that narratives follow a cause-and-effect structure from an initial equilibrium, through a disruption of equilibrium, a quest to restore it, and finally a resolution or return to the original equilibrium. The document provides an example of how this structure applies to the opening of a thriller film, starting with a happy family, a disruption caused by an argument, a mystery when a document is found, and an unresolved ending leaving the audience to interpret what will happen.
Literary theory

Emerging Theories
Critical Race Theory (CRT) examines how race and racism influence American society. It traces how racism has manifested through history in areas like law, literature, and film. CRT scholars seek to understand how systemic racism affects victims and how they represent themselves in response. They also aim to confront and challenge beliefs and practices that enable racism to persist, in order to work toward liberating society from systemic racism and inequality.
Introducing literary theory
The document introduces different approaches to literary theory and provides brief descriptions of how different theories can be used to interpret texts. It explains that literary theory offers various lenses through which to analyze and gain new insights from reading literature, but does not dictate one singular interpretation.

Todorov theory
Todorov was a philosopher who proposed that many linear narratives follow five common stages: 1) Equilibrium, 2) Disruption, 3) Recognition of Disruption, 4) Attempt to Repair Disruption, and 5) Reestablishment of Equilibrium. These stages are seen in children's stories and films as well as more adult-oriented works. While soap opera trailers do not necessarily show a linear narrative, they often highlight elements of Disruption and Recognition of Disruption to convey drama, as well as maintaining a balance of Equilibrium to establish the setting.
Narrative
Narrative theory examines how stories are structured and told. Tzvetan Todorov proposed that most narratives follow a five-stage structure: equilibrium, disruption, recognition of disruption, attempted repair, return to equilibrium. Roland Barthes identified five codes that are present in texts: hermeneutic code, proairetic code, semantic code, symbolic code, and cultural code. Syd Field suggested that films can be divided into three dramatic acts: the setup (Act 1), the confrontation (Act 2), and the resolution (Act 3). Major plot points occur between acts to change the direction of the story.
Todorov’s narrative theory
The document outlines Todorov's narrative theory, which states that most stories follow the same five-step pattern or plot structure. The five steps are: 1) Equilibrium, where characters are content, 2) A Disruption, which disturbs the happiness, 3) Realization, where the problem is recognized, 4) Restored Order, where characters try to repair the damage, and 5) Equilibrium Again, where the problem is resolved and normality resumes. The document provides examples from The Simpsons Movie to illustrate each step of the narrative theory.
Tzvetan Todorov
Tzvetan Todorov was a Russian theorist born in 1939 in Bulgaria who developed a theory of narrative structure for films. He proposed that all stories follow five stages: (1) an initial equilibrium, (2) a disruption to this equilibrium, (3) recognition of the disruption by characters, (4) an attempt to repair the damage, and (5) a new equilibrium with problems solved. Todorov argued that this five-stage structure can be applied to the narrative progression of any film. The stages are equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repairing damage, and a new equilibrium.
Tzvetan todorov
Todorov was a Bulgarian philosopher born in 1939 who wrote about literary theory, history of ideas, and cultural theory. He published 21 books and was interested in periods like Nazi Germany and European conquest of the Americas. Todorov proposed that narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, recognition of the disruption, an attempt to resolve it, and restoration of a new equilibrium. He argued this shows narratives are circular rather than linear transformations. Todorov's theory was then applied as an example using the plot points of the movie The Lion King.
Todorovs Theory
Todorov created a narrative theory in 1969 that describes 5 stages that all stories follow: 1) equilibrium at the beginning, 2) a disruption to the equilibrium, 3) recognition of the disruption, 4) an attempt to repair the damage from the disruption, and 5) a return to a new equilibrium at the end with the problem resolved. The theory is demonstrated using the plot of the movie Iron Man 3 as an example, showing how it follows the 5 stages from the story's beginning of Tony and Pepper's happiness together to the resolution of the threat posed by the Mandarin.
Narrative Investigation
This document discusses different narrative structures and theories of narrative. It describes linear narratives as having a clear beginning, middle, and end, while circular narratives end where they begin. The document outlines Todorov's narrative theory of equilibrium being disrupted, then recognized and resolved to restore equilibrium. It also mentions Vladimir Propp's identification of character roles and functions that move stories along. The document analyzes different narrative codes and binary oppositions in stories. It concludes with an example applying Todorov's theory to the plot structure of the film Sweeney Todd.
Narrative and film theory research
This document discusses various narrative and film theories proposed by different theorists. It begins by distinguishing between narrative, which is how a story is structured and presented in a film through editing, and story, which is the actual plot. It then provides examples of different narrative types like science fiction and horror. The remainder of the document outlines several theorists' contributions to narrative and character theory, including Tzvetan Todorov's theory of narrative structure consisting of equilibrium, disequilibrium, and new equilibrium; Claude Levi-Strauss's concept of binary opposition; Vladimir Propp's identification of common character archetypes; and Erving Goffman's four main character roles in a narrative.

It describes Roland Barthes' five codes for creating mystery and tension in narratives. It also outlines Claude Levi-Strauss' structuralism theory and Tzvetan Todorov's five-step narrative pattern of equilibrium, disruption, realization, restored order, and new equilibrium. The document proposes applying these theories to the story of a "Time Assassin" character who is sent on assignments that create disequilibrium according to Todorov's model, before order is restored and the cycle repeats if a sequel is made. Barthes' codes could also be employed to add plot twists, mysteries, and tension to
GCSE Narrative theories 2
This document discusses Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory and its application to analyzing different film genres. It defines key concepts like story, plot, narrative, and equilibrium. Todorov breaks narratives down into three stages - the initial equilibrium, a period of disequilibrium caused by disruption, and the new equilibrium where normality is restored. The document provides examples of how to identify these stages in stories and discusses conventions like character archetypes that engage audiences.
AO2&AO4 Narrative Theory
Narrative Theory outlines four main narrative theories: Barthes, Todorov, Levi-Strauss, and Propp. Tzvetan Todorov's theory suggests narratives follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, and new equilibrium. Roland Barthes identified five codes that help readers understand narratives: action, enigma, symbolic, semic, and cultural. Claude Levi-Strauss analyzed how stories communicate a culture's beliefs through binary oppositions between characters. Vladimir Propp classified characters into seven roles or functions commonly found in fairytales.
Todorov
Tzvetan Todorov is a Bulgarian French historian born in 1939. He has written extensively on literary theory and history. Todorov proposed a theory of plot structure that identifies 5 stages: 1) equilibrium at the beginning, 2) a disruption to the equilibrium, 3) realization of the problem caused by the disruption, 4) an attempt to restore order, and 5) a return to the initial equilibrium. The summary uses The Simpsons movie as an example that follows this 5 stage structure.

This document summarizes research on the effect of birth order on personality. Studies have found some correlations, such as firstborns being more conscientious and achievement-oriented, while later-borns tend to be more liberal and rebellious. However, other factors like family size, socioeconomic status, and parenting styles can also influence personality. More recent research using large datasets found few meaningful differences related solely to birth order. While birth order may have some impact, personality is shaped by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Comic
Comics are a form used to tell many kinds of stories. They consist of illustrations or comics in panels, often with speech bubbles or captions to convey dialogue, thoughts or sounds. Some key elements of comics include panels, balloons for dialogue, thought bubbles, splash pages and captions. Famous comic artists use the form to tell both fictional stories through characters and plots, as well as more autobiographical stories based on their own lives.
Todorov
Todorov's theory proposes that narratives follow a 5-step structure: 1) an initial state of equilibrium is established, 2) something disrupts this equilibrium, 3) the disruption is recognized, 4) an attempt is made to repair the disruption, and 5) a new equilibrium is reached. This structure is then demonstrated using the example of a zombie apocalypse story, tracing the narrative from the initial peaceful setting through to the disruption by zombies, realization of the problem, effort to find a cure, and ultimate defeat of zombies and restoration of a new normal state.
Narrative theories
Vladimir Propp analyzed over 100 Russian folk tales and identified that they followed a pattern of 8 character types that repeatedly appeared, including villains, dispatchers who send the hero on a quest, helpers who assist the hero, and a princess/prize. Tzvetan Todorov's equilibrium vs. disequilibrium theory proposed that plots must follow 5 stages - from an initial equilibrium, to a disruption, realization of a problem, restored order, to a new equilibrium. Roland Barthes identified 5 codes that help make sense of media texts - action, enigma, symbolic, semic, and cultural.
Todorov
Todorov's theory proposes that all narratives follow 5 steps: 1) an initial state of equilibrium, 2) a disruption to the equilibrium, 3) recognition of the disruption, 4) an attempt to repair the disruption, and 5) the restoration of a new equilibrium. The document provides examples of how these 5 steps can be seen in the plot of a typical "zombie apocalypse" story.
Narrative theorist
Tim O'Sullivan argues that all media texts tell stories that convey aspects of culture. Narrative theory examines how these story structures and conventions are constructed. Various scholars have proposed models of narrative structure, including Todorov's 5-stage model of narrative equilibrium disruption and restoration, Propp's 7 character archetypes, and Campbell's monomyth model of the hero's journey. Levi-Strauss viewed narratives as reducing the complex world to simple binary oppositions. Later scholars analyzed narrative structures and conventions specific to music videos.
Narrative (3)
This document discusses various narrative theories and theorists that are important for analyzing media texts and productions. It outlines key concepts such as narrative structure, characters, linear vs nonlinear narratives, and restricted vs multi-strand narratives. Theories discussed include Propp's character archetypes, Todorov's 5-stage model, Barthes' plot development, and Levi-Strauss' idea of binary opposites. It also covers the Kuleshov effect and how editing can influence audience perception.
Narrative Theory
This document summarizes several narrative theories proposed by different theorists. Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folktales and identified 8 common character archetypes. Tzvetan Todorov suggested narratives follow a 5 stage structure of equilibrium, disruption, realization, restored order, and new equilibrium. Rolland Barthes identified 5 codes that make up a narrative: hermeneutic, proairetic, semantic, symbolic, and cultural.

Lighting
This document provides instructions for analyzing images based on lighting techniques. Students are asked to identify for each image: 1) whether the lighting is high or low key, 2) the location of key lights, filler lights, and back lights, and 3) the effects or meanings suggested by the lighting. Examples are then provided analyzing the lighting in different images, identifying the key light, back light, and any filler lights used and their purposes.
Characters positions
Positioning of characters and objects within a frame can be used to draw attention and indicate relationships. It can reveal if two characters had an argument by showing them sitting apart with crossed arms, or if one character is less important by being positioned further back. Shared positioning like holding a gun next to each other in the same mirrored pose can suggest characters are good friends of equal hierarchy. Having a character positioned on top of others can mean they are a key character or stronger than the rest.
Facial expressions
In 3 sentences:
Spiderman and Mary Jane are kissing in the rain, with Spiderman covering his eyes and red suit representing romance. A man has an open mouth and pointed eyebrows to show anger, wearing black clothes against a dark background to represent death. A colorless person smiles and holds her hair, posing happily to show joy through gestures.

Religions use symbols that represent their beliefs, like Christianity's use of the cross. Corporations also use semiotics in their logos with colors, signs and text to represent their brand, such as McDonald's golden arches. Advertising further employs semiotics to convince people, like a Detol ad showing dirty public handrails to promote their hygiene products and featuring their logo and colors.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
