I will break the essay down into the sections mentioned above – Style and Clothing, Demeanour, Graphics and Customised Transport The 'Mod' (modernist) Sub-Culture originated in London in the late 1950's before being absorbed into mainstream culture by the middle of the 1960's. The word 'Mod' derived from 'Modernist' which was used in the 1950's to describe 'modern' jazz musicians and enthusiasts. The contrasting term was 'Trad' to describe 'traditional' jazz musicians and enthusiasts. Mod's are arguably descended from the Teddy Boys and the Beatnik culture. A quote by Stanley Cohen - 'they inherited his vanity, confidence and fussiness' suggests that the mod's inherited more of the Teddy Boys attitude and characteristics than literal fashion or music style.
Gina Bruno English Comparison of Refuge and “The Rediscovery of North America” The hip-hop artist Mos Def once said, “What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have tomboy read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that’s magical.” Imagery is an amazing form of writing where the writer creates a picture in your mind. Refuge, a book by Terry Tempest Williams, shows the relationship between the natural and the unnatural. Nature imagery is used throughout in comparison to human lives and events. Like Refuge, “The Rediscovery of North America” by Barry Lopez also uses ample amount of imagery
His works range from small, vibrant watercolours to life-size sculptures in monochrome; however it is the latter which has won him fame, accolades, and the opportunity to represent Australia at the Venice Biennale – and as such it seems only logical to examine one of the works from his series of Jelutong wood sculptures – the most famous of which being Killing Time (2003-04, laminated Jelutong, Maple, 108 x 184 x 118 cm irreg.). The piece is effectively a still life in the style of Dutch masters such as Jan Treck, and early Australian marine paintings. Killing Time appropriates the traditional art form of still life by transferring the image from canvas to wood, and using personally resonating symbols instead of simply carefully placed, aesthetically pleasing objects. Swallow’s version of the still life is a table laden with strategically-placed drapery, fish, shells and fruit skins; and though these objects might seem typical of any sort of still life study, they bear significance for Swallow. He grew up in a small town by the sea in Victoria’s south, and often accompanied his father on fishing voyages.
What are the values and limitations of the film Cabaret to a historian studying the cabaret culture of the Weimar Republic Table of Contents A – Plan of Investigation 3 B – Summary of Evidence 3 C – Evaluation of Sources 4 D – Analysis 5 E – Conclusion 7 F – List of Sources 8 G – Appendix 9 A – Plan of Investigation This investigation focuses on the German cabarets during the Weimar Republic and how they are depicted in the movie “Cabaret”. To understand the importance and value cabarets had at this time, I studied various primary sources such as written extracts from writers and illustrators who experienced the Weimar Republic and secondary sources about comedy, genders and sexuality and theatre in the Weimar modernity. In order to evaluate the trustworthiness of the film and to assess it’s usefulness for an investigating historian, the film is compared with the information collected by research with primary and secondary sources. B – Summary of Evidence Post-World War I Berlin was the dynamic and whirling heart of the Weimar Republic. Not only developments in technology and mathematics but also movements in visual arts, literature and theatre were achieved.
Jackson does this through his use of both literary and musical techniques. Firstly, Hinton uses jargon in ‘’Like hell you will, I ain’t ever goin’ back there again’’. This not only emphasises the context of the story, but also allows the responder to understand Mark’s attitude towards Bryon and how this has changed since the beginning of the story. It also emphasises the break down in their relationship and shows how Mark’s actions have caused this to happen. Hinton also uses metaphor in ‘’He laughed then, and his eyes were the golden…and this is now’’.
Signs of Australia becoming a multicultural nation were everywhere, especially through Australia’s entertainment. This is seen through performances in theatre and pop culture that were either based on other countries entertainment or being shown in Australia. In source 2, a form of entertainment was theatre and not only did Australians enjoy traditional Australian acts in the 90s but they also welcomed acts from foreign companies. This shows how Australia was already starting to become a multicultural nation and Australians accepted and appreciated it which can still be seen currently as much of Australia’s entertainment is influenced by other countries. Another form of entertainment Australians enjoyed at the time was the internet and the computer which many people had in the 90s and used it to look up previous decades of pop culture as shown in source 5.
Stanley Morrison was a British typographer, designer, and historian of printing in the design world. Morrison who designed the Times New Roman typeface was born on May 6th, 1889. He was born in Wanstead, Essex. He spent most of his child hood and young adulthood in his family house in London. After his father abandoned his family he left school and self-taught himself.
The significance of place 4. The nature of creativity and the artist The understanding of shared ideas across different contexts is enhanced by the reader’s study of poetry and film. Thomas Hardy’s poem, “The Voice” and Woody Allen’s contemporary film, Midnight in Paris, both effectively convey a range of different emotions that arise from the subject’s longing for the past and the importance of romantic relationships. In “The Voice”, the subject is a victim of his feelings of longing for the past and his romantic relationship. Similarly, Woody Allen’s film, Midnight in Paris, conveys longing for the past through the character Gil Pender, and demonstrating his love for the 1920s.
The fact that Seacole was at the scene of the war and all its suffering, as highlighted in source V, also means she fulfils the term ‘angel of mercy’ more than Nightingale in Scutari. However this view is contrasting to Source U, demonstrating a lithograph of Nightingale’s assistance at Barrack Hospital, Scutari. Presumably from the serene nature of Source U, it is a Government propaganda painting, or at least produced by someone who was in favour of Nightingale’s efforts and of the war. From Source U, it is a contemporary painting from 1856 and therefore, to this view the painter would have had the benefit of the insight or the ability to study other resources and consequently more likely to reflect the general mood during the Crimean War. Remarkably, from the lithograph it demonstrates that Barrack Hospital in Scutari was seen as sanitary and spacious with many doctors and nurses as well as patients.
