Convergence

Miike, originally a manga made by Hideo Yamamoto. I will be talking about the movie itself with a quick plot summary of what happens, next I’ll be moving on to the context of the film from the directors point of view down to the audiences, the convergence of Ichi from a manga to a live action movie, production and directors’ stylistic views on gore and hypermasculinity, East vs Western perceptions of the Asian culture and finally how it became a cult movie in both Asia and the Western world.…

While we see media every day in our own lives, media has been there since the first colonies of America but a lot has changed since then. Media can generally be defined as a means of communication that reaches or influences a large or wide audience. Although media is something that we experience every day and most likely something we do ourselves, it has been around for a much longer time than people think. One of the first forms of media in America was the Publik Occurrence newspaper in 1690.…

Theologians have labelled two levels in the quality of virtue, which are grace and nature. The author elaborates and explores the convergences and divergences of Christian and Pagan virtues; for Aristotle virtues are developed through virtuous deeds which completes the human character (240). While Christian virtues are influenced by the cross of Christ, they involve a humility which is…

works from local student artists. Examples of such artists would include Shawn Eck and Logan Hart, Eck’s piece Eck De Triomphe is a cardboard sculpture of two intersecting arches of tactfully stacked cardboard boxes. Suspended by a string at the convergence of the two arches is a cardboard sphere of interconnecting triangles, creating balance between all these components. Through this I believe the artist created a balanced structure using architecture techniques, but he created it from…

Violence is essential to the quest of colonial liberation, no matter how we call the struggle for freedom. With this straightforward proposition, Frantz Fanon opens the discussion of his liberation strategy in his third and final book, The Wretched of the Earth. The original French version of the book was published in 1961, shortly before Fanon lost his battle against leukemia on December 6th of the same year in the United States, far away from his adopted mother country Algeria. The first…

Recollection and historiography are key themes within Joy Kogawa’s novel Obasan, which not only discusses but also engages in historiography through the use of government documents and other primary sources relevant to the internment of Japanese-Canadians during World War II. It follows that most literary criticism and scholarship of Obasan has at least secondarily discussed historiography. However, the literature that is primarily concerned with historiography has tended to focus more…

Alexander’s empire spread out from the main land, from Macedon, through Greece, Egypt, Persia, to India. Across this vast area Alexander, “founded cities, some 70 of them”. Alexander the Great’s take on Hellenistic culture was the version of Greek culture that would ultimately influence his vast empire outside of mainland Greece at the time. Alexander and his men helped spread Greek culture, language, and Grecian school of thought through logic and reasoning. These contributions from his army to…

I believe art must work in unison with science to generate a synergistic effect that improves the health conditions of humankind. Previously, I was never convinced that the sciences had any relationship to paintings, sculptures, or art in general. I have often associated scientists with words like “analytical” and “innovative”, and artists with “creative” and “expressive,” clearly distinguishing the roles they play in society: art as a subjective reflection of the world through different forms…

Describe the layout and function of the various kinds of dwellings used by the Ancient Romans in the cities and countryside. If there was any society that regarded classes to differentiate the status of citizens, that society finds its perfect place among the ancient Romans. These classes similarly manifest in the Roman dwelling places. Apparently, there were several kinds of dwellings used by the ancient Romans in the cities and country side. The dwelling place was an important part of the…
