Abstract:

The terrorist attacks in the United States of September 11, 2001, were unprecedented in the modern era, and they heralded a new era in politics as the Bush Administration pursued rigorous security policies at home and staged military operations in Afghanistan, and subsequently Iraq. Witness testimonies, and newspaper articles in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, revealed that many of those watching coverage of the attacks on television temporarily mistook the reporting for a Hollywood block-buster, an indication that there was some kind of relationship between 9/11 and Hollywood film-mak

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the language variety spoken by Italian Americans gangsters in a corpus of five American drama films released in the 1990s, as well as the strategies used during the process of dubbing into Italian. Several studies have focused on the representation of Italian American gangsters in Hollywood films. However, most of the scholars who have worked on this topic have approached it from a film studies or a cultural perspective, while, to my knowledge, no-one has investigated the characters' linguistic characterization. Indeed, the identity of Italian American gangsters in A

Abstract:

The following work deals with the representation of the 1980s AIDS crisis in 21st century American cinema. Chapter 1 introduces the concept of “stigma” as theorized by Susan Sontag in AIDS and Its metaphors (1989). Stigma negatively contributed to the reception and treatment of the disease, which was considered an issue of just some minorities and thus ignored by the government and the institutions of the 1980s. I will use the concept in order to analyze the early representation of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s and 1990s AIDS movies such as An Early Frost (1985). Chapter 2 is devoted to analyzi

This thesis is the first comparative reading of the femme fatale in contemporary American cinema, and makes a significant contribution to a field that has previously limited its focus to film noir of the 1940s and the neo noirs of the 1980s and 1990s. To date, critical examinations of the femme fatale figure in contemporary cinema have centred on issues of post-second wave backlash, and on a very narrow range of films, most notably Fatal Attraction (1987), Basic Instinct (1992), Disclosure (1994), and The Last Seduction (1994), (Kate Stables, 1998; Yvonne Tasker, 1998; Helen Hanson, 2007).

This was a period of uncertainty, Indeed of struggle, over what the new medium of cinema was to become: how it would be understood, defined, constituted, regulated, as a public sphere.

Abstract:

This thesis achieves a deconstructive interrogation of American national identity by analysing its representation in contemporary independent cinema. Drawing upon the poststructuralist work of Jacques Derrida (and limited applications of his thought to film scholarship), this project theorises a rigorous (but non-programmatic) model for conducting deconstructive readings of cinematic texts. Engaging with a corpus of ostensibly independent films, case-study analyses of American identity narratives are used to theorise and enact a fruitful process of Derridean cinematic and cultural interpretati

It adds to current debates in Irish, and American, film studies and shows that the 1910s and 1920s were highly significant years in the on-going history of American cinematic representations of the Irish.

In recent years, many American independent films have become increasingly engaged with popular music culture and have used various forms of pop music in their soundtracks to various effects. Disparate films from a variety of genres use different forms of popular music in different ways, however these negotiations with pop music and its cultural surroundings have one true implication: that the 'independentness' (or 'indieness') of these movies is informed, anchored and embellished by their relationships with their soundtracks and/or the representations of or positioning within wider popular mus
