Temporality and film analysis
No full textMatilda Mroz argues that cinema provides an ideal opportunity to engage with ideas of temporal flow and change. Temporality, however, remains an underexplored area of film analysis, which frequently discusses images as though they were still rather than moving.
This book traces the operation of duration in cinema, and argues that temporality should be a central concern of film scholarship. In close readings of Michelangelo Antonioni’s L’Avventura, Andrei Tarkovsky’s Mirror, and the ten short films that make up Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Decalogue series, Mroz highlights how film analysis must consider both particular moments in cinema which are critically significant, and the way in which such moments interrelate in temporal flux. She explores the concepts of duration and rhythm, resonance and uncertainty, affect, sense and texture, to bring a fresh perspective to film analysis and criticism.
Essential reading for students and scholars in Film Studies, this engaging study will also be a valuable resource for critical theorists
Restless bodies, buried texts: Sikorski, The General, and the archive
No full textAnna Jadowska's film Genera: Zamach na Gibraltarze/The General: Assassination at Gibraltar (Jadowska 2009) emerged from a wider project undertaken by the Polish television station TVN and historian and journalist Dariusz Baliszewski, who has spent approximately fifteen years investigating the death of General Wadysaw Sikorski. The Polish Commander-in-Chief died in a plane crash in Gibraltar on 4 July 1943, in what Baliszewski believes was a British-Polish-Soviet conspiracy. Baliszewski has never been able to decisively prove his speculations, as many of the pertinent documents are buried in archives. As is clear from the documentary series Genera/The General (Jadowska and Kazen 2009), his investigation continually comes up against traces and copies, and a similar logic of simulation penetrates the very heart of his theory of Sikorski's death. What Baliszewski encounters on the level of historical investigation, the film and documentary series continue on the level of form, as the historical reconstructions copy the archival footage, digital manipulation copies photographic indexicality, and the split screens fracture a coherent perspective into multiple visions. Despite the commercial and postmodern associations of Jadowska's film, however, I argue that her aesthetics of fracture, lacuna and invention not only remain true to the incompleteness of our knowledge concerning Sikorski's death, but are also sensitive to the uncertainty and creativity of historical work in general. Her film's restless physical bodies and agitated cinematic framings also resonate in fascinating ways with the fate of Sikorski's body after his death, which underwent several burials and exhumations
Shaping the Cinematic Bodies of Eastern Europe and Russia
No full textBringing together a range of theoretical and critical approaches, this edited collection is the first book to examine representations of the body in Eastern European and Russian cinema after the Second World War. Drawing on the history of the region, as well as Western and Eastern scholarship on the body, the book focuses on three areas: the traumatized body, the body as a site of erotic pleasure, and the relationship between the body and history. Critically dissecting the different ideological and aesthetic ways human bodies are framed, The Cinematic Bodies of Eastern Europe and Russia also demonstrates how bodily discourses oscillate between complicity and subversion, and how they shaped individuals and societies both during and after the period of state socialism
BOOK REVIEW OF MATILDA WRITTEN BY ROALD DAHL
Full text linkNovel adalah refleksi dari kebudayaan manusia. Novel identik dengan sebuah karya sastra yang berbentuk prosa yang cukup panjang, dan cenderung fiktif. Sebuah novel tersusun berdasarkan unsur-unsur pembangun seperti unsur intrinsik dan ekstrinsik. Novel yang penulis ulas pada final project ini berjudul Matilda karangan penulis cerita anak-anak terkenal dari Inggris, Roald Dahl. Dahl terkenal karena karyanya yang imajinatif dan alur yang, menurut pendapat penulis, sulit ditebak. Matilda, menurut penulis, adalah novel imajiner dengan tema yang ringan. Cocok dibaca untuk semua golongan usia. Namun, pada novel ini Dahl banyak menggunakan hiperbola dalam melukiskan jalan ceritanya. Alasan inilah yang mendasari penulis untuk mengulas salah satu novel dari Roald Dahl, yaitu Matilda.
Matilda tergolong novel populer karena ceritanya mudah dipahami dan pengarang tidak berbelit-belit dalam menyampaikan cerita. Karena novel ini diperuntukkan bagi anak-anak, cerita yang dihadirkan mengikuti selera serta imajinasi pengarang, tidak rumit dan berkembang dengan sederhana sesuai dengan logika anak-anak.

Matilda of Canossa
Full text linkMatilda of Canossa, Countess of Tuscany, was born in 1046 to a noble family in northern Italy. She could have ended like so many other noble women during her time, as a simple tool with which to form marriage alliances between leading houses. However, with the support and mentorship of her mother, Matilda became a ruler in her own right.
Matilda was not only in full control of her own estate, she also commanded her own army and kept additional territory in Italy. In addition, she had close ties to the pope himself, Gregory VII. Matilda managed her monetary, military, and political assets in such a cunning way that she rose to be one of the most influential women of her time. The two most important rulers of the time, the Holy Roman Emperor and the pope, fully recognised Matilda’s value as an asset, and found themselves with either a powerful ally or a powerful enemy in her.Peer reviewedstudent peer-reviewed journal articlefinal article publishe
Evolution of Emotions from the Movie Matilda 1996 to the Movie Matilda 2022 (Comparative Analysis Study)
Full text linkThis research aims to compare the emotions depicted in the main character in the 1996 movie Matilda to the movie Matilda in 2022. This research investigates the emotional evolution that occurs from the movie Matilda 1996 to the movie Matilda 2022. This research is comparative diachronic research by Zepetnek theory and uses a character psychology approach in literary works. In obtaining data, this research was analyzed using Elizabeth B. Hurlok\u27s theory of children\u27s emotions and applying qualitative descriptive methods with notetaking as a research instrument. The results of this research show that there are types of emotions children get from the character Matilda: emotions of anger, joy or happiness, grief, curiosity, fear and affection. Therefore, the researchers concluded that the emotions that occur in the character Matilda from the 1996 movie Matilda to the movie Matilda 2022 show that Matilda 2022 is more aggressive, more expressive, and braver than the movie Matilda 1996. Overall, this research reveals evolution of emotions that are influenced by the author\u27s mindset towards children\u27s characters related to current developments
Tiimin resilienssikyky koronapandemian aikana
Full text linkTässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan tiimin resilienssikykyä, siihen vaikuttavia tekijöitä ja sitä, kuinka tiimiresilienssi ilmenee muutostilanteessa. Tiimin resilienssikykyä on suomessa tutkittu yksilön resilienssikykyä vähemmän, mutta muualla maailmassa aihetta on tutkittu jo jonkin verran enemmän. Viime aikoina on keskusteltu paljon työelämän murroksesta, resilienssistä, globalisaatiosta ja koronapandemiatilanteesta. Opinnäytetyön aihe valikoituikin tutkittavaksi juuri sen ajankohtaisuuden vuoksi. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tuottaa tietoa tiimien resilienssikyvyn merkityksestä koronapandemian aikana sekä siitä, mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat merkittävimmin tiimiresilienssiin. Tutkimuksen keskeisin käsite on resilienssi, mutta tutkimuksessa sivutaan myös useita muita teorioita kuten tiimiteoriaa sekä mielen malleja. Tutkimukseen osallistui kuusi yrittäjää tai esimiestason henkilöä Etelä- ja Länsi-Suomessa sijaitsevista yrityksistä. Tutkimuksen haastattelut toteutettiin teemahaastatteluina kesä- ja elokuun aikana. Aineiston analyysimenetelmänä käytettiin laadullista sisällönanalyysiä. Haastateltavien nimet sekä yrityksen tunnistetiedot on muutettu haastatteluiden litterointivaiheessa.
Tämän tutkimuksen tulosten mukaan tiimin resilienssillä on ollut merkitystä muutoksesta selviytymiselle, sillä tiimin mahdollistaman sosiaalisen tuen ja yhdessä tekemisen merkitys on muutoksen aikana ollut merkittävä. Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittavat, että tiimin resilienssiin ja muutoksesta selviytymiseen vaikuttavat 1) muutosjohtaminen ja johtajan hyvä resilienssikyky, 2) muutokseen suhtautuminen (asenne ja näkökulma), 3) avoin, luottamuksellinen, yhteisöllinen ja kannustava tiimikulttuuri, 4) toimeenpanokyky ja 5) yhteiseen tavoitteeseen sitoutuminen.
Tutkimuksessa saatuja tuloksia opinnäytetyön tekijä voi hyödyntää tulevan liiketoiminnan ensimmäisen valmennuskokonaisuuden rakentamisessa. Lisäksi tutkimus tuotti tietoa sekä tukee aikaisempaa tutkimusta tiimin resilienssikyvyn tärkeydestä muutostilanteessa. Opinnäytetyön tuloksista on varmasti myös apua muille yrityksille tulevien muutostilanteiden varalle sekä tiimin resilienssikyvyn eli muutoksesta selviytymisen kehittämiselle. Opinnäytetyölläni onnistuin mielestäni vastaamaan tutkimuskysymykseeni. Mielenkiintoinen jatkotutkimuksen aihe olisi lisätutkimus siitä, kuinka koronapandemian toinen aalto vaikuttaa tiimin resilienssikykyyn ja eroavatko nämä tulokset ensimmäisestä tutkimuksesta saatuihin tuloksiin.The global Covid-19 pandemic has enhanced discussion of team resilience in companies. This thesis discusses team resilience, the factors affecting it and how resilience becomes apparent in changing circumstances. The aim of the thesis is to provide information about the importance of team resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic and which factors have the most significant impact on team resilience.
Six principals who are entrepreneur and supervisor of micro and small companies from southern and western Finland were interviewed for the study. Theme interviews were conducted during June and August. Qualitative content analysis was used in the analysis. The names of the interviewees and the identification information of the companies have been anonymized in the transcription process.
According to the results of the study, team resilience has a significant impact on how teams cope with change, because the importance of social support and performance during change has been significant for teams. The results indicate that the factors affecting team resilience and coping with change are 1) change management and leader’s resilience, 2) attitude towards change, 3) open, confidential, communal and supportive team culture, 4) the ability to execute and 5) commitment to a common goal.
The author of thesis will use results of the research when she is building the first coaching package of a future business. In addition, the study provided information and confirmed the theory about the importance of team resilience in a changing situation. The results of the thesis will certainly help other companies in case of future change situations and the development of the team's resilience. Author of thesis thinks that she managed to answer the research question of the thesis. An interesting topic for further research would be research on how the second wave of the corona pandemic affects the resilience of the team and what possible differences in the results from the first study would be noted
Remembering Katyn
No full textKatyn– the Soviet massacre of over 21,000 Polish prisoners in 1940 – has come to be remembered as Stalin’s emblematic mass murder, an event obscured by one of the most extensive cover-ups in history. Yet paradoxically, a majority of its victims perished far from the forest in western Russia that gives the tragedy its name. Their remains lie buried in killing fields throughout Russia, Ukraine and, most likely, Belarus. Today their ghosts haunt the cultural landscape of Eastern Europe.
This book traces the legacy of Katyn through the interconnected memory cultures of seven countries: Belarus, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltic States. It explores the meaning of Katyn as site and symbol, event and idea, fact and crypt. It shows how Katyn both incites nationalist sentiments in Eastern Europe and fosters an emerging cosmopolitan memory of Soviet terror. It also examines the strange impact of the 2010 plane crash that claimed the lives of Poland’s leaders en route to Katyn.
Drawing on novels and films, debates and controversies, this book makes the case for a transnational study of cultural memory and navigates a contested past in a region that will define Europe’s future
