Abstract:
In 1990 and 1992, the Academy Award for the Best Motion Picture of the year was won by movies belonging to the Western genre: Dances With Wolves, and Unforgiven. Recent work on the Western claims that these achievements and the flood of new Westerns dating from the late 1980s up to the present signal a renaissance of the genre within the film industry, and among critics and the public. The notion of a revival has attached to it the idea of a preceding lapse, when a movie genre is "out of fashion". The lapse experienced by the Western beginning in the mid-1970s has a clear parallel in the late 1920s, when the trade press announced the demise of the genre. The aim of this thesis is to argue that these periods of lull in the popularity of the Western are tied to historical events that directly undermined the ideological base of American thought and culture. A principal aspect of that ideological base is the American Myth of the Frontier. In the 1930s the myth was challenged by the Great Depression, and in the 1960s and 1970s, the Civil Rights Movement, Women's Liberation and Vietnam. In the latter era, an entire generation of young men, raised in the 'Golden era' of the Western when the frontier myth gained its widest currency, were inspired to charge into battle 9,000 miles from America's shores for a victory that was sanctioned by the past. The tragic consequences of that war exacerbated the failure of that national narrative of triumph, and as the most dominant vehicle of frontier mythology, the Western correspondingly encountered an obstacle to its popular reception. This present volume locates expressions of popular culture as barometers of the performance of myth. It has, as its subject, an account of the route via which the Myth of the Frontier was repaired, by focusing primarily on the gaps prior to the myth's re-emergence. The gaps identified are episodes when myth loses its dehistoricizing function, when the frontier becomes a moment in the past that has no relevance for the present. An examination of how historical memory is disabled through the movies reveals the pervasiveness and continued significance of the frontier myth to America's self-image. Prior histories of the Western observe moments of the genre's resurgence, but this thesis adds to the field of criticism in its exploration of the possible reasons underlying the restoration of its popularity. This is achieved through an analysis of the various genres to which the frontier myth migrates after the 'A' Western ceases to be an outlet for its discourse. The Gangster film, 'B' Western and Vietnam War movie are such surfaces of emergence. Part of the originality of this work, for example, is the research on the 'B' Westerns directed by Joseph Kane and starring Gene Autry. The gaps in the history of the Western are thus viewed positively as having the utility for comprehending the relationship between the Western genre and the frontier myth. After the introductory chapters which discuss the concepts of genre, myth and the Western, this thesis analyses the centrality of the historical events that challenged expressions of frontier mythology in the two periods identified and the process through which that history is mediated, reconstructed and finally replaced.

Abstract:
Throughout history great powers have had to wrestle with the problem of maintaining their influence over the world around them. Often these powers were simultaneously faced with more than one opponent. In order to meet multiple challenges, leading nations have had to maximize the number of potential adversaries they could influence with each action or policy. Those faced with this dilemma have included the Romans, Byzantines, and the British Empire. Studying these nations in their struggle to maintain control revealed tactics and techniques that proved effective. Forward deployment, statements of perseverance, the use of coalitions, strategic distraction of opponents, and the demonstration of their relative superiority over adversaries all helped to preserve the longevity of these empires. Additionally, an effective information campaign, which amplified successes, proved invaluable to these world powers. This thesis explores how a single action often affects more than just the two parties taking and receiving action. It then discusses the flow of how the information content of foreign policy actions transfers from the primary actor to multiple secondary actors. We then use historical cases of multi-adversary deterrence and coercion as models of how our hypotheses, coupled with a good information strategy, maximized the studied powers' effectiveness.

Abstract:
Pour decouvrir comment se definit le heros tragique dans le western, il nous a semble pertinent de pratiquer une rigoureuse analyse filmique (decoupages "plan par plan", croquis explicatifs) des oeuvres dans lesquelles il s'est le plus illustre. Nous les avons effectivement envisagees comme une mythologie singuliere, ou, sous diverses defroques, apparait notre figure. Loin de toute perspective chronologique, le regroupement des films a donc ete propose par la facon dont s'y presentait l'evolution interne du heros et de sa mission. Qu'y lit-on? en premier lieu (la premiere partie: "l'homme de nulle part", exemple: l'homme des vallees perdues), il s'apparente a un cavalier solitaire aidant une communaute a lutter contre des "mechants" pour creer une societe dont il sera automatiquement rejete, car l'exclusivite de sa fonction lui interdit de se fixer et d'endosser la carapace d'un citoyen. Puis, lorsque les grands espaces se muent en villes (la deuxieme partie: "le retour du banni", exemple: le train sifflera trois fois), il devient un etre soucieux d'une stabilite sociale que viennent lui contester des agresseurs exterieurs, le forcant a constater sa singularite, au moment d'un combat que lui seul peut assumer. C'est tout naturellement qu'il se retrouve ensuite, dans un ouest embourgeoise, vagabond erratique a la recherche d'une action qui ressemble a son identite perdue (la troisieme partie: "l'appel du vide", exemple: la horde sauvage).

Abstract Since the author has studied thanatology, this area became the main realm of his research, but it is the first time that he does such a study among the police officers. The police make out one fourth of the civil servants in Taiwan. This study focuses on the analysis of the police officers'' mentality when they face death in a gunfight. The study was very much needed, and it was really urgent. Gunfights evoke great interest in public. They are of great concern. Police officers involved in gunfights can be scared. Therefore, the focus on their death mentality can give us some insights and we can make a few conclusions about the gunfights'' recognition, their emotional impact and the police officers facing them. In this study, we dealt with the main dimensions and asked the question: what is happening between the police and the bandit? During the process we could investigate the death-mentality of the police. In concrete, we could see that the question had to be viewed in three parts: initial, middle and final mental activities in a gunfight. We also took some instances to verify the points. In the study, we emphasize the quality research method including three cases of the case study, participation- observation, and data analysis of the document etc.. As to the third case study, we focus on group interview because a lot of polices officers remain in the fighting areas. From this procedures, we can get the result of our research: (1) When the police had some previous information about facing the gunfight in the initial stage, their death-mentality seemed to be little burdensome, but this attitude did not come from their carelessness. (2) Different kind of gunfight manners could cause among the police a different death-mentality in the middle time. (3) If in the final time a death occurred among the police officers, the bandits or the common people (e.g.: one of the pedestrians was killed) the death mentality reflected different mental activities such as scare, sorrow, justice or the administrative punishment. (4) The factors of background and judicial intervention could make some differences about the death mentality of the police. But all depends on the individual difference. Finally, I would like to summarize the result of the study : suggestion of lifelong educational training of duty-free police officers in psychology, guidance, consultation in order to upgrade the efficiency of policing administration and to improve the social order by insuring the welfare of the people. Furthermore I would like to suggest:(1) We should change the traditional training material to a more realistic and attractive one. (2) We should set up gun-fighting files and collect the available statistical data in order to refresh the skills. (3) We should give up the hero-idea and have a better team work in a gunfight. (4) We should carry out the crisis management and do the living will previously.(5) We should review the coaching system-Teacher kuan and soothe the mentality after facing a gunfight efficiently. （7）We should lead the idea of thanatology to the field of the police as to upgrade the accurate dignity of life and death for the police .

Abstract:
Chapter Two argues that violence and the myth of racial blood purity represent the two most visible characteristics of the American Western genre, which are represented in American comics by the figure of the gunfighter and the white Indian. The origins of the outlaw bandit and gunslinger in American culture and myth center on his repudiation of government enforced emancipation. The white Indian, more often than not and despite his exposure to non-whiteness, demonstrates his loyalties to the white power structure by using his knowledge of the other against him.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter lays down the theoretical framework for the forgoing analyses, taking many cues from legal studies, U.S. Supreme Court cases and Foucauldian theory. In the world of the Western, the procedural focus of American law gets in the way of justice. The genre embraces justice by gun violence rather than by trial, and has therefore often been read as ‘anti-law’. From the early dime novel fascination with such outlaws and renegades as Billy the Kid and Jesse James, through depictions of lynching in Owen Wister’s 1902 novel, The Virginian, and the film The Ox-Bow Incident (1943), to the guns-blazing heroics of films such as Rio Bravo (1959), High Noon (1952), and Shane (1953), through the darker critiques of The Gunfighter (1950), The Wild Bunch (1969), and Unforgiven (1992), to the postmodern pastiche of Django Unchained (2012), the Western has nourished a vision of social organisation and a means for delivering justice that operates outside the official parameters of American law, relying on a gunslinging hero to uphold order. This chapter argues, in fact, that this opposition is progressively undone in the genre’s formulaic shootouts. The cherished antipathy between ‘the law’ and the Western’s ‘law of the gun’ is, in short, unfounded.
