\u27Dirtying’ Ecocinema Studies
No full textFramed in the centre of a lush green forest, two men, one brown-skinned and one paler, occupy the screen in a medium-long shot. Shirtless and wearing terrycloth loincloths, briefs and sneakers, they sit on a log and confer in what sounds like a Native language. Subtitles reveal nonsensical banter about male and female physical prowess. As they swat mosquitoes, the browner man, Chingachgook, offers to take his pale friend, Hawkeye, hunting. When Hawkeye agrees, the two hop off their log and charge offscreen into the woods. For the next four minutes, the camera tracks the men through a full spectrum of shot distances, pans, tilts, high and low anges, front and back, and slow motion – as they journey to the accompaniment of an epic orchestral score. Their hunt takes on a comedic spin as the montage cutting reveals them to be dramatically crisscrossing the same small space while jumping, falling and tripping over each other. Their antics continue until sunset and they stand bent over, breathing hard and loudly dry heaving from the exertion. Undaunted, they carry on as the scene cuts to show them stepping out of the forest to the door of a fast food join. After stoically contemplating the menu, they order \u27number 4\u27 meals (with cheese) in English and stand with looks of satisfaction while the music triumphantly swells and the scene ends.

Divisive or Descriptive?: How Americans Understand Critical Race Theory
Get PDFCritical Race Theory (CRT) has become a flashpoint of elite political discord, yet how Americans actually perceive CRT is unclear. We theorize that Republican elites utilized a strong framing strategy to re-define CRT as an “empty signifier” representing broader racial and cultural grievances. Using a survey and a pre-registered experiment among U.S. adults (N = 19,060), we find that this strategy worked. Republicans exhibit more familiarity with CRT and hold more negatively valenced (and wide ranging) sentiments toward CRT, relative to Democrats. Moreover, compared to teaching the legacy of racism in schools, Republicans are significantly more opposed to teaching CRT while Democrats express greater uncertainty. Our findings suggest that by framing CRT as a broad term that envelopes many grievances (including those beyond the scope of CRT), Republican elites have shaped a subset of Americans’ understanding of and attitudes toward CRT

No Big Deal
No full textDixon e Lena. Londra e Livorno. Due vite apparentemente distanti, eppure così simili. Lui è il bersaglio prediletto delle cattiverie dei compagni di scuola, che lo deridono; delle ragazze, che lo considerano mediocre; del padre, soprattutto, un uomo alcolizzato e violento che lo picchia con metodo. In Italia Lena vive una situazione meno estrema, ma dentro di lei il disagio è lo stesso. Sente di non piacere a nessuno: non ai ragazzi, a cui pare risultare invisibile, e di certo non alla madre, una donna oppressiva e impantanata in un matrimonio ormai al capolinea. Arriva finalmente un approdo, qualcuno su cui fare affidamento – l’amico Ale per Dixon, l’amore di Tommaso per Lena. Ma il vero approdo, per entrambi, diventa la musica, uno strumento per reagire alla confusione dei rapporti disfunzionali e trovare un posto nel mondo. Dixon si unisce come chitarrista ai (No Big Deal), una band indipendente in cerca di gloria, mentre Lena coltiva il sogno di diventare una giornalista musicale trasferendosi a Londra. I loro percorsi paralleli si intersecano in un pub della capitale tra i fumi dell’alcol e le note rock del gruppo, e finiranno per essere inestricabilmente legati. I fantasmi del passato e le insidie del presente presto mostreranno quanto la felicità sia instabile e quanto il successo, anzi il semplice sogno del successo, sia difficile da gestire.https://cupola.gettysburg.edu/books/1198/thumbnail.jp
