Laura Allen

Mary Frances Moss, better known as Laura Keene, is a British woman who took the American theatre business by storm. Laura Keene is truly an inspiration. With her roots as an incredibly talented actress, Laura Keene managed to branch out and accomplish many incredible feats that no one thought possible for a woman in her time. She was the first woman in the United States to manage her own theatre company, and although all of the odds were stacked against her, she came out triumphant. Her legacy is

How well connected is your assigned film to the current event we are studying? The three films that I chose for this final project are; Fahrenheit 9/11, CSI season 1 episode 22, and West Wing Season 3 episode 1. These films are connected because they focus on different aspects associated with the attacks on September 11, 2001. Fahrenheit 9/11 is connected to the current topic because it’s main plot point follows Michael Moore’s narrative of blaming George W. Bush, our president on September 11 2001

Laura Bohannan(1966) in her story " Shakespeare in the Bush" describes a tribe called Tiv. It is an ethno-linguistic group living in West Africa, occupying remote regions, difficult to reach even by foot. The members of the tribe live in homesteads. In the homestead described by Bohannan( 1966) there were about one hundred forty relatives living together; men, women and children. The elder men of the tribe hold an especially esteemed role. The oldest among them is the leader. Women do not hold the

“No matter how much people may talk about its artistic merit, it nonetheless objectifies and therefore demeans women by casting them in the mould of whore.” (Cox) The present statement is what Laura Cox, journalist at the Daily Mail, summarizes of “Pour it up”, the music video released in 2013 by Rihanna to launch her new song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehcVomMexkY). The video is constructed on an extreme usage of female’s bodies and it poorly represents the image of women expressed today by

Alyshia Sechoka Dr. Catherine Cox History of Literary Criticism 2 December 2014 Not Just a Pretty Face METHOD Despite how the word may sound, deconstruction means to deconstruct, not to destroy. Deconstruction is always simultaneously affirming and undoing. Deconstruction refers to a technique for reading and analyzing texts developed by Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man, and others; this, in turn, is connected to a set of philosophical theories about language and meaning.

From an issue that was discussed in class, we discussed about the gaze. In Laura Mulvey’s “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema” she discusses about scopophilia, which is the pleasure in looking which also incorporates exhibitionism (pleasure in being looked at). This term also applies to cinema. She focuses on the idea of the “male gaze” in cinema, where films are created in favor of the male audience. Thus the action of cinema compromises of “women as image, man are bearer of the look”. Mulveys

Vertigo as the Archetypal Mystery Christopher O’Neil Introduction to Film Prof. Michael O’Donnell March 16th, 2015 Alfred Hitchcock 's Vertigo is a classic movie of the mystery genre.

equally even on account of their race, gender, or sexuality, the one thing that has not changed is very much evident in today’s music scene. Today, women are still being objectified as part of good publicity as well as to get more views on videos. In Laura Mulvey’s essay, Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema, that was originally published in 1975, Mulvey makes many claims that are still relevant to today’s media, and especially relevant to the music industry. Many of the claims that Mulvey makes are

control and all from the comfort of his apartment. His girlfriend, Lisa, whom he deems “too perfect” and is unable to commit to her fully, is not as interesting as the lives of his neighbors; that is until she herself becomes interested in them as well. Laura Mulvey and Tania Modleski have both written about Rear Window and the way it either follows the normal gender roles or contradicts them. Despite being interested in similar subject matter, the two women have differing opinions on the approach of the
