The television work of Alfred Hitchcock
No full textThe thesis uses close textual analysis to study and evaluate the television work of Alfred Hitchcock. The corpus consists of the twenty shows personally directed by Hitchcock, including his appearances before and after those shows. In response to most previous writing, which tends to compare the programmes with Hitchcock’s films (often unfairly) the thesis emphasises them as products of television. Programmes are evaluated on the basis of their perceived success as television- if they harness conditions related to television production and integrate them with narrative themes or to create meaning. Hitchcock is considered to be the major creative force in each programme.
Chapter One provides a variety of important contexts including a brief history of US television of the 1950s, key literature on Hitchcock and analyses of contemporaneous programmes not directed by Hitchcock. The textual analysis chapters (2-8) consider aesthetic or thematic programme aspects. Chapter Two studies the various roles played by Hitchcock’s appearances as series host. Chapter Three considers the impact of censorship on programmes frequently dealing with murder, violence and insanity. Chapter Four analyses Hitchcock’s implementation of varieties of voice-over narration, a common device in short dramatic forms. Chapter Five studies Hitchcock’s use of point-of-view shots, particularly in relation to their role in the delivery of the narrative twist. Chapter Six considers the key Hitchcock theme of detachment from the world. Chapter Seven looks at moments from the programmes which demonstrate how aesthetic is influenced by television production conditions.
Hitchcock created a number of television masterpieces. His achievements in television are in many ways comparable in quality and consistency to his theatrical films. Even when considered in the context of other 1950s US anthology dramas, the Hitchcock-directed programmes are superior on many levels. Elements of his film style were highly suited to television production. Many of his greatest achievements embrace and harness television production conditions in their presentation strategies to create an integration of style and meaning

South African Female Academics’ Work from Home Experiences during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Challenges and Opportunities
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has triggered pedagogical ramifications in many higher education institutions. The Work from Home (WFH) phenomenon as an offshoot of this development has not been adequately investigated in so far as female academics experienced it. This paper reports on ten female academics’ WFH instructional experiences with blended learning during the COVID-19 pandemic era. The WFH concept has necessitated the ‘virtualisation of pedagogy’ through blended teaching and learning of academics. The sample was purposively extracted from some higher education institutions in Gauteng, Free State and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa. The sample for this study was purposively selected irrespective of geographical location or ‘status’ of the institution. Each female academic responded to an open-ended structured questionnaire whose questions broadly focused on: their understanding of the Working From Home (WFH) phenomenon; the influence of home environment on their academic activities and the place of blended learning in a South African Higher education context. The data were collated and analysed for its content with supporting excerpts to discern and support themes. The female academics viewed WFH as relocating offices to their homes with the attendant plethora of academic challenges this entailed. The WFH constrained their abilities to complete academic activities particularly instructional related ones. Be that as it may, the pandemic has presented female academics with opportunities for professional growth through the blended mode of learning and newer perspectives on the apparently shifting gender roles. Such opportunities promote female academics’ quest for the reconfiguration of education pedagogy and gender autonomy in higher education post COVID-19
Leadership Styles of Female Educational Leaders: In Search of a Gender Inclusive Leadership Theory
No full textThe Pictorial Grammar
No full textAlfred Crowquill's The Pictorial Grammar offers a refreshingly original and highly visual approach to learning the fundamentals of the English language. Published in the mid-19th century, this unique pedagogical tool challenges traditional, text-heavy methods by making the illustration the primary source of instruction. Crowquill (a pseudonym for artist Alfred Henry Forrester) leverages his artistic talent to render abstract grammatical concepts immediately accessible. The book systematically dissects the eight parts of speech—Noun, Article, Adjective, Verb, Adverb, Conjunction, Preposition, and Interjection—assigning each category a memorable, humorous, or allegorical visual representation. This method transforms the often-dry process of memorizing rules into an engaging exercise in visual association, helping students instinctively grasp the function of words by linking them directly to the corresponding picture. By fusing entertainment with education, The Pictorial Grammar proves that understanding syntax and etymology can be an enjoyable pursuit, making it an invaluable resource for children, beginner language learners, and educators seeking innovative ways to teach the foundational structure of English grammar.Alfred Crowquill’in The Pictorial Grammar (Resimli Dilbilgisi) adlı eseri, İngiliz dilinin temellerini öğrenmeye yönelik ferahlatıcı derecede özgün ve son derece görsel bir yaklaşım sunar. 19. yüzyılın ortalarında yayımlanan bu benzersiz pedagojik araç, resmi temel eğitim kaynağı haline getirerek geleneksel, metin ağırlıklı yöntemlere meydan okur. Crowquill (sanatçı Alfred Henry Forrester'ın takma adı), soyut dilbilgisi kavramlarını anında erişilebilir kılmak için sanatsal yeteneğini kullanır. Kitap, sekiz temel sözcük türünü—İsim, Tanımlık, Sıfat, Fiil, Zarf, Bağlaç, Edat ve Ünlem—sistematik olarak inceleyerek, her bir kategoriye akılda kalıcı, mizahi veya alegorik bir görsel temsil atfeder. Bu yöntem, kuralları ezberleme gibi genellikle sıkıcı olan süreci, öğrencilerin kelimelerin işlevini doğrudan karşılık gelen resimle ilişkilendirerek içgüdüsel olarak kavradığı ilgi çekici bir görsel çağrışım alıştırmasına dönüştürür. Eğlence ile eğitimi birleştiren The Pictorial Grammar, sözdizimi ve etimolojiyi anlamanın keyifli bir uğraş olabileceğini kanıtlayarak, çocuklar, başlangıç düzeyindeki dil öğrenenler ve İngilizce dilbilgisinin temel yapısını öğretmek için yenilikçi yollar arayan eğitimciler için paha biçilmez bir kaynak haline gelir
