Forrest Gump: comic representations of the recent American past
No full textMestrado em Línguas, Literaturas e Culturas - Estudos InglesesO presente trabalho propõe-se pesquisar a abordagem histórica das décadas de 50, 60 e 70 nas comédias americanas contemporâneas. Deste modo espero destacar os acontecimentos da história americana no passado recente que se prestaram a uma abordagem cinematográfica e foram retratados em comédias. As reacções a esses filmes permitem ainda reflectir sobre os valores culturais transmitidos nos filmes de comédia. Esta dissertação também aborda as características e funções da comédia enquanto género cinematográfico. Na fundamentação teórica também são abordadas algumas questões ligadas à adaptação cinematográfica. A vertente prática da dissertação centra-se no filme Forrest Gump, explorando a sua relevância histórica, e a adaptação ao cinema.
ABSTRACT: This dissertation is intended to research historical approaches to the fifties, sixties and seventies in contemporary comedy films. Doing so, I expect to cast some light on recent American events that have proved to be cinematic and likely to be explored in a comic perspective. Viewers´ response to these films is also to be analysed so as to reflect on the cultural values rendered in comedy forms. Moreover, this dissertation includes some thought on the narrative and generic features of comedy as a film genre. The theoretical section also covers some issues raised by film adaptation. The practical research section focuses on the film Forrest Gump, exploring both its historical significance, and the precise nature of this adaptation
Protracted (~30Ma) eclogite-facies metamorphism in northern Victoria Land (Antarctica): Implications for the geodynamics of the Ross/Delamerian Orogen
No full textNorthern Victoria Land, Antarctica, plays a key role in any geodynamic reconstructions of the paleo-Pacific margin of Gondwana because it represents the along-strike continuation of Australia in Antarctica and hosts the only Paleozoic eclogites known along the Transantarctic Mountains. The architecture and evolution of the early Cambrian to Early Ordovician Ross–Delamerian Orogen in northern Victoria Land, however, remain controversial. Accurate geodynamic reconstructions have been hindered by a dearth of temporal metamorphic constraints. This study reports laser-ablation split-stream ICP-MS data on zircon in newly recognized eclogite, that preserves a memory of the prograde evolution, and on zircon from its country rock from the Lanterman Range of northern Victoria Land. Geochronological data are supplemented for the eclogite by whole-rock geochemical and petrological constraints, that indicate an E-MORB protolith derived from a depleted mantle source, and P–T conditions for the eclogite-facies stage of ~ 700 °C and 1.7–2.4 GPa. U–Pb ages, trace-element contents, cathodoluminescence imaging and textural/inclusion relationships testify to protracted zircon growth/recrystallization history under eclogite-facies conditions, that also included (re)crystallization during part of the prograde path. Results extend the onset of eclogite-facies metamorphism in northern Victoria Land back to ~ 530 Ma and, together with geochronological evidence for the emplacement of calc-alkaline granitoids at ~ 530–520 Ma, suggest that UHP–HP rocks formed by accretion of material beneath an active continental margin. Regionally, this interpretation implies that burial of mafic rocks and associated siliciclastic sequences to mantle depths commenced significantly earlier than previously believed (~ 500 Ma), thereby contrasting with the common belief that high-pressure metamorphism was linked to arc–continent collision. New and old results reveal the coexistence along the same ridge of two eclogite types: (1) medium-grained, “colder” and undeformed eclogites, that recorded both prograde and peak conditions, and (2) finer-grained, “hotter” and slightly deformed eclogites, that recorded only metamorphic peak conditions with hints of the subsequent retrogression. We propose that “prograde/peak” eclogites formed during an active continental margin stage and “peak” eclogites during the subsequent island arc–continental arc collision

Us Civil War Menurut Forrest Carter
No full textA novel may reflect the political interests and actions of the author. The author can make a story that is purposed to alter common consciousness. This article uses historicism as an interpretation theory. Historicism is used to avoid careless interpretation. With historicism, the story written in the novel is matched with historical events written in some history books. Forrest Carter writes a lot about US Civil War. He, in purpose, does not write about slavery that is commonly read as the cause of the US Civil War. He writes a lot about the murder of women and children by the northern US army soldiers in southern districts. He also writes a lot about the cooperation of his white character with a Cherokee. Above all written by Forrest Carter, the influence of his life and his political interests are seen

Academic perspectives on The Forrest review: creating parity
No full textThis compilation provides an overview of the issues and challenges identified by academics as needing to be addressed when thinking about the recommendations of the Forrest Review and the impact they could have on people\u27s lives if implemented.
Abstract
This CAEPR Topical Issue contains the collected works of academics engaged in the examination of The Forrest review: creating parity which was commissioned by the Prime Minister Tony Abbott to examine Indigenous training and employment in Australia. Each work represents the author\u27s considered specialist disciplinary perspective informed by on-the-ground experience. Consequently, this paper provides an overview of the issues and challenges identified by academics as needing to be addressed when thinking about the recommendations of the Forrest Review and the impact they could have on people\u27s lives if implemented.
