Full textAbstract:
Behovet av produktplaceringssamarbeten ökar eftersom traditionell reklam minskar i effektivitet samtidigt som filmproduktioner kräver större budgetar. Bondfilmer har lockat publik i 50 år vilket gör det möjligt att studera relationen mellan filmernas karaktär och produktplaceringar ur ett historiskt perspektiv. Materialet består av den första filmen Dr. No (1962) samt den senaste filmen Skyfall (2012). Semiotiska analyser görs av scener med framträdande produktplaceringar. Den teoretiska ramen är mångperspektivistisk och förhåller sig till tre nivåer. Den textuella nivån utgör själva filmerna och analysen påvisade att vissa produkter har haft stor betydelse för att definiera James Bond och blir viktiga intertextuella referenser i den senare filmen. Märkeskännedom och exklusiv smak används för att särskilja Bond och påvisa hans (och Englands) överlägsenhet. Detta har dock tonats ner i den nya filmen som fokuserar mer på Bonds mänskliga sida, en trend inom action/hjältegenren. Den kontextuella nivån är produktplacering som marknadsföringspraktik. Produktplaceringarna har blivit fler och är numera delar av kampanjer som sträcker sig över många mediekanaler och även riktas mot nya konsumentgrupper (kvinnor). Den sociohistoriska nivån utgörs av det politiska, samhälleliga och kulturella sammanhanget. Till en början representerade Bond 50-60-talens nya (ursprungslösa) samhällsklass som definierades av en image av välstånd, mode och lyx. Den filmiska blicken objektifierar även manskroppen vilket inbjuder till en identifikationsprocess som uppmanar till konsumtion, män blir konsumenter på tidigare kvinnodominerade marknader. Användningen av vapen och teknologi samt den hypervisuella manliga (muskulösa) kroppen påvisar att maskulinitet och heterosexualitet fortsätter att utgöra viktiga markörer för nationalitet och internationell säkerhet. Nyckelord: Produktplacering, film, James Bond, karaktär, historisk, förändring

I denna uppsats har den musikaliska förändringen i James Bond-temat, sett över de 21 filmer som gjorts fram till denna uppsats genomförande, analyserats och tolkats. Syftet är att dela med mig av mina tankar och analyser om hur temat framförts och utvecklats, samt därmed också bidra till att utveckla kunskapen om James Bond-världen.Efter en litteraturbaserad del, där bakgrunden till James Bond-temats uppkomst behandlas, så analyseras sedan film för film i Bond-serien från Dr. No till Casino Royale. Analysen tar främst upp delarna synkronisering, instrumentering och influenser.Analyserna visar på att James Bond-temat i grund och botten bygger på samma melodi genom alla filmer, men också har förändrats i stor utsträckning i utförandet.

James Bond é um dos personagens mais rentáveis e longínquos da indústria cinematográfica. Com mais de 50 anos de franquia, o agente 007reproduz e influencia até hoje o comportamento dos indivíduos. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar em que medida os gadgets, equipamentos tecnológicos, inseridos nas histórias de James Bond contribuíram com o fascínio criado em cima da imagem deste personagem ao longo dos anos. Para tanto, analisamos o uso de gadgets a partir de perspectivas teóricas da mitologia e dos estudos culturais. Tomando como base a ideia de que o agente 007é fruto de mais uma atualização fílmica do arquétipo do herói, separamos quatro objetos ícones da franquia, que notamos reatualizarem símbolos mágicos ancestrais. Em suma, concluímos que esta relação direta entre o personagem, seu meio e o gadget colaboraram com o fortalecimento mítico e heroico do personagem no imaginário sociocultural.<br>The aim of this research is to analyze how the gadgets inserted in the James Bond stories contributed to the allure created on the image of this character over the years. Therefore, we analyze the use of gadgets from the theoretical references in Eliade, Campbell, Vogler and Contrera, and methodological in Kellner, Vanoye and Goliot-lete. Based on the idea that the 007 is a result of another filmic update of the archetypical hero, we highlight four franchise icons objects that update ancient symbols. In sum, we conclude that the direct relation between the character, their environment and the use of object collaborated with the mythical and heroic strength of character in the sociocultural imaginary.

Full textAbstract:
Filmturism är ett relativt nytt fenomen på turistmarknaden, som kort kan beskrivas med när en turist besöker en destination eller attraktion till följd av att destinationen/attraktionen har visats upp på tv eller i film. I Thailand har ett flertal stora filmer spelats in genom åren, bland annat The Beach och James Bond – The Man with the Golden Gun. Syftet med denna studie är att belysa fenomenet filmturism samt undersöka hur lokala aktörer i Thailand använder filmerna Beach och James Bond – Man with the golden gun som redskap för platsmarknadsföring och imageskapande. I studien har det även studerats hur destinationerna har påverkats av filmerna samt hur destinationerna uppfattas av turister som har varit eller är på väg till någon av platserna. Den destinationsimage som skapas genom film behöver inte alltid stämma överens med destinationens verkliga image. Studiens material har samlats in genom kvalitativa intervjuer, observationer och skuggningar samt kvantitativa enkäter och granskning av resesidan Tripadvisor och aktören Maya Bay Tours hemsida. Studiens resultat visar att filmerna har påverkat platsernas image och att Maya Bay inte är lika beroende av filmen i sin marknadsföring som James Bond Island är. Turister som har besökt platserna påpekade att mängden turister är det som förstört upplevelsen och att turismen måste regleras för att deras förväntningar ska uppfyllas.

Previous issue date: 2010<br>Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico<br>Esta dissertação visa analisar a construção de identidades discursivas para a mulher, como oferecida pelos filmes de comédia romântica hollywoodianos produzidos a partir de 1960, levando em consideração os mecanismos psicológicos envolvidos nesse processo. Os estudos de gênero; os trabalhos sobre a indústria cultural e sobre o cinema, pensado em relação ao aparato da psicanálise; além de alguns conceitos de Michel Foucault sobre o discurso em sua dimensão de poder, foram as ferramentas teóricas utilizadas para realizar a pesquisa. A análise do corpus permitiu identificar duas grandes categorias de protagonistas femininas na comédia romântica, que chamamos de Princesas Urbanas e de mulheres Emocionalmente Desprendidas. A partir daí, foi realizado um estudo comparativo entre a mulher protagonista do gênero de comédia romântica com a coadjuvante do cinema de ação, bem representadas pelas bond girls da franquia do agente secreto 007, subdivididas em Donzelas em Perigo, Femme Fatales e Heroínas. Foi possível estabelecer analogias entre as Princesas Urbanas e as Donzelas em Perigo e entre as Emocionalmente Desprendidas e Femme Fatales. Também foram verificadas as mudanças instituídas e autorizadas na identidade feminina pelo cinema de comédia romântica ao longo dos anos, e como elas se relacionam com os avanços do discurso feminista no meio social: por exemplo, a presença do ambiente de trabalho ou o surgimento de personagens estressadas e inseguras

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this essay was to investigate how the James Bond films portray the beauty ideals for women during a 40-year period by looking at each woman from four different categories. The study used three Bond films, which were: The Man with the Golden gun from 1974, Goldeneye from 1995 and lastly Skyfall from 2012. By using the semiotic theory with film analysis and Yvonne Hirdmans genus theories the main research question was: How has the contemporary beauty ideals for women reflected on the women’s characters in the James Bond films?The analysis showed that the women in the first movie mostly were portrayed with thin waists with a bigger bust area and with natural faces that had little makeup. The ideal around that time was that the focus on a woman’s body should be the breasts and that came across in the movie. In the other two movies the women’s body types hadn’t changed from the first movie, and the ideals around that time were those of a small body in general. The clothes followed the ideals of the second and third feminist waves that wanted that women should be able to wear whatever she wants which the two later movies showed. The second feminist wave were what started the thesis that women could do and work with the same things as men did. This was seen in the movies as the women worked as secretaries and agents and most of them could handle a weapon which is historically seen as a man’s job.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Hur har framställningen av Bondbruden och James Bond förändrats sedan 1965? På vilket sätt påverkar eventuell förändrad syn på maskulinitet det feminina, samspelet dem emellan, och hur kommer detta till uttryck i Bondfilmen? Syftet med denna uppsats är att med hjälp av det populärkulturella fenomenet James Bond undersöka framställningen av det feminina och maskulina, hur detta kan tänkas ha förändrats de senaste femtio åren. Med hjälp av kvalitativ metod med inslag av semiotik har jag studerat en Bondfilm från mitten av 60-talet och en från mitten av 00-talet. Jag har kontextualiserat med hjälp av postfeminismen samt filmdiskursens ansett ”klassiska” manliga och kvinnliga karaktärsdrag och egenskaper. Genom min studie av hur den kvinnliga karaktären ”Bondbruden” framställs i relation till James Bond, om hon är mer eller mindre drivande för handlingen samt om hon spelar en mer aktiv eller passiv roll, har jag tagit reda på hur Bondfilmen tolkar det samtida samhällets normer för det kvinnliga och manliga. Resultatet av min studie visar att de så kallade ”nya manligheterna” möjligen har påverkat filmdiskursen vilket kan speglas i ”Casino Royale” från 2006. Karaktären James förefaller här vara mer känslosam, mänsklig samt ha fler lager egenskaper än sitt jag från 2006. De manliga och kvinnliga karaktärerna presenteras som jämlika gällande dumhet och intelligens, någonting som i den äldre tidens filmdiskurs inte förekom på samma sätt, något som de kvinnliga och manliga karaktärerna i ”Åskbollen” från 1965 kan visa exempel på. James Bond betraktas ibland som en arketyp för klassisk manlighet, men i Bondfilmen från 2006 framträder i James en mansroll som kombinerar tuffhet med en mer tankfull och vårdande sida. Postfeminismen har lett till utvecklingen av nya manligheter såsom Den metrosexuelle mannen, som står för märkesfixering och ett välvårdat yttre, och likaså Den nya mannen, som är något narcissistisk men med vårdande egenskaper vilket möjligen återspeglas i James Bond anno 2006. Detta kan sägas vara ett uttryck för filmdiskursens avspegling av den samtida samhälleliga kontexten.</p>

Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on how the popular culture maintains the so called macho culture through the action character James Bond. The macho culture imposes an unhealthy demand for men to be masculine, which affects their mental health. The two longest car scenes are examined in the latest Bond movie Spectre (2015). The aim of the study is to contribute with knowledge of how macho culture is presented in the film world. The theoretical framework of this study is based on the narrative, which according to Selby and Cowdery (1995), is a story that in many cases is so basic and natural that the viewer overlooks it. According to Selby and Cowdery (1995), the narrative has the power to transform information and manipulate the viewer not to react to the events they see. The narrative analysis is based on semiotics, which means that the study's method is based on the semiotics connotation, denotation, and myth. The study uses an analysis model to make it easier to analyze James Bond, the model is divided into three categories, appearance, emotions, and driving. The analysis showed that the demands and attributes of the macho culture were depicted in the scenes where we studied James Bond's appearance and feelings, and his driving. Mental illness and car crashes is examples of consecvenses that macho culture could lead to. Therefore, it ́s problematic for populare culture to continue depict James Bond in a stereotypical way.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka huruvida filmrecensioner i dagspress kan användas som en plattform för maktutövande med exemplet utvalda James Bondfilmer mellan 1979-2012.Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är således att diskutera hur massmedier behandlar ett utvalt populärkulturellt fenomen, i detta fall James Bondfilmerna, över en tidsaxel.Genom en genomförd kritisk diskursanalys och analys ur ett symboliskt maktperspektiv utgår studien ifrån de utvalda recensionerna för att undersöka om det förekommer teman, språkmönster eller liknande som ämnar skapa en bild åt publiken hur de bör förhålla sig till James Bond. I studien används teorier om identitets- och varumärkesskapande. I makt- och den kritiska diskursanalysen består den teoretiska grunden främst av John B. Thompson och Norman Fairclough. Valet av teorier till genre- och varumärkesidentitet utgår jag från André Janson, Steve Neal samt Ingalill Holmbergs teori om identitetsskapande kring varumärken.Studien resulterade i ett konstaterande att recensioner kan användas, och ibland används, som en plattform för maktutövande gentemot läsaren.

Full textAbstract:
Denna uppsats utreder två frågeställningar rörande män och manlighet inom fiktion. Syftet med denna text är att försöka få en insikt i hur män porträtteras inom film och skönlitteratur, samt hur associationer påverkar gymnasielevers uppfattning av innebörden av att vara man. Skönlitteratur och film som inkluderar karaktärerna Odysseus, Batman, James Bond och Sherlock Holmes samt teoretisk litteratur med fokus på både genus och didaktik används för att besvara frågeställningarna. Dessutom används ett kvantitativt frågeformulär för att få in information om gymnasieelevers syn på män och manlighet. En av slutsatserna som kan dras utifrån undersökningsresultatet är att ideal och egenskaper som användes för att skapa fiktiva manliga karaktärer i antikens Grekland fortfarande är närvarande i moderna fiktiva karaktärer. En annan slutsats är att populärkulturen har en stor inverkan på vilka associationer till män och manlighet som människor har.

Full textAbstract:
I will write about product placement in film from a Swedish point of view. This entails writing about Swedish films with different types of product placements, not only how they are done but also discuss how they succeed from a sales perspective. In my earlier work I have written about the product placement of watches. In this thesis I focus on the film series about the Swedish agent Carl Hamilton, since here you can see how Swedish film has developed during the past 30 years with regard to product placements. Both world politics and the concrete placements are illustrated in a clear way. In such an international context it is also of value to compare recent Hollywood remakes of a Swedish film, in this case Män som hatar kvinnor that was turned into The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Both are based on the same book by the Swedish author Stieg Larsson, Män som hatar kvinnor.

Full textAbstract:
Twentieth Century Americans witnessed the construction of numerous massive dams that controlled the flow of rivers across the country. Many of these dams were built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to improve navigation and to provide inexpensive electricity and flood control. This paper will seek to shed light on Georgia’s current water crisis by analyzing the initial purposes behind the building of Buford Dam in North Georgia, investigating how water supply issues were addressed in the first half of the twentieth century, and exploring how expectations of the Chattahoochee River changed over time due in part to metropolitan Atlanta’s population growth. This paper will show that Atlanta area leaders secured appropriations for Buford Dam primarily to obtain a reliable water supply and additional electricity for their burgeoning community.

Chapman University Digital Commons, 2019. https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/english_theses/8.
Full textAbstract:
Feminist “Sisterhood” has been a debatable term throughout multiple generations and its ideology is mostly rejected by feminists in the younger generation. The concept mainly denotes a sense of collectivity and it is viewed as a gendered term due to its coinage by second wave feminists as a response to patriarchy. Hence, “Sisterhood” authorizes a collective identity that portrays women as victims and thereby the ideology that is associated with this term reduces the complexity and fluidity of female identity. Various representations of female bonds, in the political, literary and filmic spheres, have valued the idea of collectivity among females, even up to our present day. In order to deconstruct the attempts to redeem “Sisterhood” as an all-inclusive term, I trace representations of the ideology of “Sisterhood” in selected literary, theatrical and televisual works from multiple generations to argue for the rejection of this term and the inability to validate it as inclusive due to its insistence on a collective identity that imposes a blindness to and an underrepresentation of otherness. I explore how “Sisterhood” results in the objectification of females’ experiences in order to serve identity molds that restrict a female’s representation as an individual. I highlight this problematic ideology in Jane Eyre (1847) by Charlotte Brontë and a theatrical adaptation of the novel by James Willing and Leonard Rae (1879); The Women of Brewster Place (1982) by Gloria Naylor; Big Little Lies (2014) by Liane Moriarty and an adaptation of the novel as a miniseries on HBO (2017). While deconstructing the ideology of perceiving female bonds through the lens of “Sisterhood,” I conclude that the concept is problematic in relation to the portrayal of “other” females, and I demonstrate how it is also flawed on a general level since it takes away from the individuality of each woman portrayed throughout this ideology in order to meet specific commonalities among her “sisters.” Although the ideology of “Sisterhood” is outdated and restrictive, we can’t deny, as I further explore, that the investment in portraying it has contributed to raising important female issues.

Full textAbstract:
With an eye on the current social and political situation in Europe, and with regards to the so-termed refugee crisis, this study aims to map the discourse on assumed good and evil shared among Western cultures, as represented by Sweden, Germany and the United States. The thesis takes its point of departure from essayistic reflections of the philosophical tradition and theological and religious analytical positions respectively. These are then followed by two investigative main chapters, designed along the lines of Norman Fairclough’s approach to critical discourse analysis (CDA). The first of these chapters studies the narratives of good and evil employed in the mainstream cinema of the past ten years in the mentioned countries. The second analysis is made up of three case studies, in turn looking at similar narratives in the campaigns of the two main competitors in the 2016 presidential race, a German protest movement against free trade agreements, and the everyday political communication of Swedish Facebook users. In a final chapter, findings from all four preceding chapters are brought together in an attempt to sketch an image of the congruences and discrepancies of narratives on good and evil in the overall discursive field. The thesis finds that the discursive field shared by the three investigated societies is largely homogenous, with certain imagery permeating all analysed orders of discourse. Many of the reoccurring images are however likely rooted in the human psyche and therefore less dependent on discourse practice. Furthermore, certain principles are agreed upon in theory while not reproduced in social practice. Themes assigned to either good or evil often seem to take on secondary functions next to assumed fixed identities of in- and out-groups. Being a qualitative study, this thesis aims at giving an overview and delivering a base for further investigations rather than providing definitive answers.

Faust, Marjorie Ann Hollomon. "The Great Gatsby and its 1925 Contemporaries." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2008. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/english_diss/26.
Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT This study focuses on twenty-one particular texts published in 1925 as contemporaries of The Great Gatsby. The manuscript is divided into four categories—The Impressionists, The Experimentalists, The Realists, and The Independents. Among The Impressionists are F. Scott Fitzgerald himself, Willa Cather (The Professor’s House), Sherwood Anderson (Dark Laughter), William Carlos Williams (In the American Grain), Elinor Wylie (The Venetian Glass Nephew), John Dos Passos (Manhattan Transfer), and William Faulkner (New Orleans Sketches). The Experimentalists are Gertrude Stein (The Making of Americans), E. E. Cummings (& aka “Poems 48-96”), Ezra Pound (A Draft of XVI Cantos), T. S. Eliot (“The Hollow Men”), Laura Riding (“Summary for Alastor”), and John Erskine (The Private Life of Helen of Troy). The Realists are Theodore Dreiser (An American Tragedy), Edith Wharton (The Mother’s Recompense), Upton Sinclair (Mammonart), Ellen Glasgow (Barren Ground), Sinclair Lewis (Arrowsmith), James Boyd (Drums), and Ernest Hemingway (In Our Time). The Independents are Archibald MacLeish (The Pot of Earth) and Robert Penn Warren (“To a Face in a Crowd”). Although these twenty-two texts may in some cases represent literary fragmentations, each in its own way also represents a coherent response to the spirit of the times that is in one way or another cognate to The Great Gatsby. The fact that all these works appeared the same year is special because the authors, if not already famous, would become famous, and their works were or would come to represent classic American literature around the world. The twenty-two authors either knew each other personally or knew each other’s works. Naturally, they were also influenced by writings of international authors and philosophers. The greatest common elements among the poets and fiction writers are their uninhibited interest in sex, an absorbing cynicism about life, and the frequent portrayal of disintegration of the family, a trope for what had happened to the countries and to the “family of nations” that experienced the Great War. In 1925, it would seem, Fitzgerald and many of his writing peers—some even considered his betters—channeled a major spirit of the times, and Fitzgerald did it more successfully than almost anyone.

Full textAbstract:
This Master's thesis focuses on elements and manifestations of propaganda in selected films from the James Bond film series. The first part defines the scope of term "propaganda" from the point of view of communication and media studies. It also describes various authors' perspectives on different types and ways of propagandist persuasive message spread and how it can be revealed using discourse analysis. The thesis reflects especially the pragmatic approach of authors Jowett and O'Donnell and is compared to other cardinal approaches. The theoretical part also puts propaganda into context of time, i. e. the Cold War, and it mentions specific cases of its impact. The thesis deals with James Bond films as such, in particular with their narrative and its mythological and stereotypization constituent. James Bond films are examined, in the practical part, using content analysis. The aim is to detect described pro-eastern propaganda elements, analyse their manifestation and answer the research questions.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis analyzes a historical development of James Bond films in a background of the Cold War between years 1962-1989. A fictional character James Bond is a cultural phenomenon, which became an absolute world-wide symbol from the point of popular culture since the sixties in 20 century. The main part of the thesis focuses on movies with agent 007 and describes the ideological base, which we can investigate. Secondarily, Bond's past is handled. Therefore, a development of the literary figure, who moved from spy novels to the screen, is analyzed in here. Further, parts of the thesis mention social background, which was greatly influenced by Bond topic in the second half of the 20th century. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Full textAbstract:
M.A. Faculty of Humanties, University of the Witwatersrand, 2011<br>This dissertation will argue that two James Bond films, GoldenEye (Martin Campbell, 1995) and
Casino Royale (Martin Campbell, 2006), reflect the socio-cultural values of the decades in which
they were made.
It begins by contextualising ‘the figure of James Bond’ as a popular hero and a ‘mobile
signifier’ whose representations and connotations exist in a fluid-but-fixed relationship. This
allows Bond to be remodelled to maintain a resonance with popular ideologies or socio-cultural
values held about his associations. The subsequent research demonstrates this.
In order to do so the dissertation is divided into two sections: Part One focuses on
women and Part Two on masculinity, conflict and geopolitics. Each part investigates the
dominant socio-cultural values – or zeitgeist – of its focus topics in the 1990s and 2000s. Part
One draws on feminist history and discourse as well as articles from the legal, financial and
generally socio-corporate environments. Part Two turns to economics, politics, recent military
history, its perceptions and sociology. Each section, having determined the socio-cultural
values regarding the topic it focused on, demonstrates how these values are communicated in
popular films of the 1990s and 2000s to further substantiate its argument and findings.
With the zeitgeist determined each section conducts an in-depth analysis of the two
James Bond case studies. Both analyses demonstrate that these films clearly reflect the sociocultural
values of the decades in which they were made.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the contribution of popular culture and artefacts in the narratives of the James Bond films and postulates that these narratives in turn become popular cultures of their own. In the audiovisual industry the actuality and novelty of the content and the production thereof relates directly to the success of the production. The main reason is because of actuality of the theme, topic and the popular culture portrayed in the production. The popular culture products at the time of production is set to change rapidly within weeks from the time the premiere has been broadcast. These products include technologies like colour, grain and resolution which are quite evident even to the untrained eye. Furthermore, and as the aim of this study, social products like fashion, hairstyles, language, décor, cars, watches, slang, paradigms, narrative schemes and actuality news stories will have rapidly changed and might not be accepted and embraced by the viewers. The unique way in which all of these elements are incorporated into the narrative scheme for the production can proclaim a stake in box-office income for a film. These popular culture elements are usually developed with a short term and immediate goal of success in mind. For the purposes of this study though, and as a result of its success, the James Bond 007 films by Eon Productions are studied as a unique case study of a sustainable popular cultural phenomenon. Although initially thought of as too popular for academic inquests Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels soon attracted the attention of academics like Kingsley Amis and Umberto Eco. In the years to follow numerous theorists the likes of Roland Barthes, Robin Wood, Tony Bennett, Janet Woollacot and James Chapman investigated the academic and socio-cultural implications of Bond. According to Chapman (1999:4-13) the main reason that the James Bond “phenomenon” is still not receiving much academic attention is because it is merely “unfashionable in the present intellectual climate”. Trahair (1976:1) states that merchandising the hero’s image is important in creating a popular hero. He adds that this is only possible if you have a “saleable” item, in this case Bond. Not only is the Bond phenomenon well marketed but also well accepted by audiences. It is estimated that almost half the world’s population has seen at least one Bond film (Chapman, 1999:14; Smith & Lavington, 2002:1). According to Smith and Lavington (2002:1) the Bond franchise is seen as: “the longest-running, most commercially successful and perhaps most recognisable film series in the history of the medium”. Bond raked in record breaking audiences and or box-office income for almost every newly released James Bond film over a period of forty years. It is also recorded as the highest grossing film franchise in the world with added grosses of more than $3 billion until 1999 (Chapman, 1999:14). This gives an indication of the acceptance of the holistic concept that is James Bond 007. It leads to the question of why James Bond works in a world that has changed enormously in the last forty years. What is presently in fashion and technologically advanced could be easily outdated and succeeded by the time it is sold. It is then the popular nature of the franchise as created through the narrative scheme and popular culture elements within this narrative recipe that lead to this enquiry. After branding Bond as being extremely popular, Smith and Lavington (2002:1) remarks that: “We know that. Everyone knows that. And that’s the point.” They are referring to the fact that Bond is so well known and accepted that an inquiry into its popularity is inevitable. Although many such enquiries have been made this study will focus on the use of popular commodities or popular culture artefacts to popularise the narratives of the James Bond films. These narratives in turn commodify the films as a popular franchise.<br>Dr. F.P. Duvenage

Full textAbstract:
abstract: The connection between Hollywood costume design and the films of the 007/James Bond franchise, especially in regards to the changing perspective of the “Bond Girl”, is an intricate relationship that has previously been little researched. In the most recent Bond films, in particular, the female characters have become more powerful than the early characters and their roles within the narratives have changed with their characters taking on stronger and more integral roles. This thesis seeks to examine the films of the 007/James Bond franchise and how the rhetoric of the franchise’s costume design affects the representation of femininity and power in regards to the Bond Girls. After an overview of Bond history and costume theory, two films are analyzed as case studies: Dr. No (1962) which marks the beginning of the film franchise and Casino Royale (2006), which marks the more recent turn the films have taken. This thesis examines how the representations of Bond Girls and the use of costume design for their characters have changed over the course of the franchise from the days of Sean Connery to the recent reboot of the franchise with Daniel Craig as 007 James Bond. In addition to an examination of Bond Girl costume design, this thesis considers the role and influence of the costume designers. A designer’s vision of a character is derived from both the writing and the physical features of the actresses before them. Here this thesis considers how the rhetorical choices made by designers have contributed to an understanding of the relationship between femininity and power. Finally it shows how the costumes effect the power of the female characters and how the Bond Girls of today (Casino Royale) compare and/or contrast to Bond Girls of the past (Dr. No). This thesis combines the areas of feminist film theory and costume theory to provide an original rhetorical analysis of the Bond series in relation to costume design and examines the rhetorical statements made by the costume designers in their designs for the characters and how those statements influence the representations of the characters.<br>Dissertation/Thesis<br>M.A. English 2013

Atualmente estamos rodeados de publicidade. Existe em todos os canais de comunicação, mas embora o avanço da tecnologia tenha levado a um aumento de canais, também trouxe ferramentas que nos permitem usufruir de qualquer canal sem que sejamos constantemente alvo de publicidade. Para contornar essas ferramentas, como o efeito zapping ou os bloqueadores de publicidade, as marcas tiveram de escolher novas formas de se promoverem. Optaram por investir em produções cinematográficas, tornando-se assim as verdadeiras fontes de financiamento do filme. A esta técnica de comunicação dá-se o nome de product placement, a inserção de marcas sob várias formas, como logótipos, produtos ou até mesmo no meio do texto, numa produção cinematográfica. Para compreender melhor esta ferramenta publicitária, recorremos a uma análise de conteúdo de três filmes cujo personagem principal é James Bond. Através dessa análise, pretendemos saber como e quais as marcas que estão associadas de forma direta o personagem e como a influenciam.<br>Nowadays we are currently surrounded by advertising.

They opted to invest their products in cinematographic productions, becoming the real sources of film financing. This technique of communication is called product placement, which is the insertion of brands in various forms, such as logos, products or even in the middle of the text, in a film production. To understand this advertising tool, we turn to a content analysis of three films whose main character is James Bond.
Through this analysis, we intend to know how and what brands that are directly associated with the character and how they influence it.

Full textAbstract:
This work explores the insights that can be gained from an investigation of the shared terms of the Manitoulin Island treaties of 1836 (Treaty 45) and 1862. I focus specifically on these treaties because I was raised in proximity to this area. This thesis is very much a personal exploration in the sense that I have come to understand myself as implicated in a treaty relationship and wish to know my obligations under these agreements. In my interpretation of the Manitoulin Island treaties, I employ a strategy developed by Dr. Michael Asch that begins with the Indigenous understandings. Within this strategy, treaties are conceptualized as honourable agreements meant to ensure our legitimate presence on this land. This methodology is unique in the sense that it conceives of our representatives' actions as sincere. This step is necessary because Indigenous peoples believed we were acting honourably during negotiations. In applying this strategy in my reading of the Manitoulin Island treaties, my objective is to discern the treaty relationship that was established, and to state clearly the obligations of both parties under these agreements. Though the primary focus of this thesis is my analysis of the treaties, I briefly discuss in my conclusion the anthropological insights I have gained from this exercise with respect to communication across cultures. Throughout this work, I focus on the concept of sharing as a productive and positive framework for thinking about relationships between cultures.
