    The notion of “mental space” that Kim discusses is indeed puzzling, and the plausibility of its existence questionable. It is difficult to imagine what “location” could refer to in this space. Perhaps locations would be particular qualitative states and, on this view, perhaps minds could be distinguished from one another by appeal to the state that they possess at a given time. However, if “mental space” includes a fundamentally temporal component, as Kim believes it would have to, it follows…

    my research comes from Cine-Tracts, A Journal of Film, Communications, Culture and Politics. Written by film theorist David Bordwell, “Camera Movement and Cinematic Space” brings forth a close examination of the functions of camera movement in cinematic representation using a perceptual approach. He describes movement in cinematic space as a cinematic process, which seeks “systematically to station the viewer as subject before an idealized, objectified representation.” This is also the issue he…

    up with the image promoted by Tulane admissions. In class we discussed Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the social production of space and I originally interpreted the concepts of social practice and representational space was extremely static.

    Preface: Historical preservation has been mostly understood by the means of preserving the physical artifact. However, in an urban context, what makes artifacts’ character “distinctive” and “definitive” is not only their physicality but also their memory. To this end, Also Rossi’s argues for “the soul of the city” as the city’s history, its memory. Although we all travel backward in time through memory, history and memory should be distinguished totally from each other, the former belongs to a…

    Therefore, it is important to choose specific scenes which are the best representations of how the main characters live. In Crows and Sparrows, the Chinese New Year scene is the most accurate representation of how Kong and the tenants live in a physical space. If we are to understand this film’s consideration of the home, then we must look at the most honest portrayal of Kong, which would logically occur in a state of personal freedom, since oppression constrains the character’s perception of…

    Let it first be assumed that the existence of the universe, as a complete entity, is absolute and static, for no permanent description can be made about its nature if said nature were dynamic, and even so its dynamic nature in itself would be a constant, making any other assumption im-possible in the first place. The notion that the state of the universe is variable depending on the perceiving it must also be rejected for the purposes of this paper, as, similarly to the aforemen-tioned…
