Wave

Pearl S. Buck wrote the book called The Big Wave in 1948. A big wave killed many people and washed important things away, changing villager’s lives including Jiya, Kino, and Setsu. Most of the people in the village hesitated to go back to the sea but Jiya hoped to go there again. In the end, Jiya and some other people get over the disaster and start their new lives. Although many people hesitate to go back, the key to overcoming terrible experiences for Jiya and others is to start a new life with

New wave is a genre of rock music popular from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s with ties to 1970s punk rock. New wave moved away from blues and rock and roll sounds to create pop music that incorporated disco, mod, and electronic music. Although it incorporates much of the original punk rock sound and ethos, new wave exhibits greater complexity in both music and lyrics. Common characteristics of new wave music include the use of synthesizers and electronic productions, the importance of styling and

The Great Wave off Kanagawa was produced somewhere between 1830 and 1833, by Japanese Katsushika Hokusai, a painter, and a woodblock artist printer. Since he was a woodblock artist printer, there were between 5000-8000 original prints of this picture, although there are only about a few hundred remaining to this day. In the painting, you can see massive waves crashing into small ships. In the background, you can see Mt. Fuji, although it looks like another wave, you can tell it’s a mountain because

The French New Wave unofficial movement of the 1950’s and 60’s has had a major influence on modern film from it’s cinematic techniques and overall rejection of the traditional filming process from the previous decades. In particular, the French New Wave ‘movement’ has had significant influences over the comedy/horror film (Shaun of the Dead ,2004) directed and written by Edgar Wright as well as writer/actor Simon Pegg. The french new wave has influenced (Shaun of the Dead,2004) through cinematic

“Third-Wave Feminisms” by Lara Karaian and Allyson Mitchell, and Chapter 7, “Violence Against Women”, which was written by Lisa Rosenberg and Ann Duffy. “Third-wave feminism” is a term I had no knowledge of prior to this course and I chose it to learn what it means and how it affects society. Violence against women sadly seems to be in the news every day and remains important and relevant to myself and all women. SUMMARY Third wave feminists are somewhat different from first and second wave feminists

Other than the obvious time differences between first and second wave feminism, the real contrasts are found in what it was the women, and men in some cases, were fighting for. First-Wave feminists mainly fought for suffrage, while their Second-Wave sisters fought for a wider range of women’s rights. First-wave feminism was brought on by the newly educated female population. “Women’s experiences under colonization taught them to see themselves as citizens of oppressed nations, and many entered

Escapism: Theme of the French New Wave Movies The 400 Blows and Breathless French New Wave influenced cinema worldwide. French New Wave filmmakers believed in auteur cinema, and they tried to make films in which social and political issues were explored. French New Wave movies were made with a small budget, natural setting, quick shootings, with a small crew, hand-held cameras, and young actors (Philippe, 2010). The French New Wave movies had some common thematic affinities; many of these movies

Yet many critics argue that the themes of third-wave feminism more than first-wave feminism detract from the historical value of the film. It’s true, in the 1910s the only kind of feminism was first-wave, which looked to provide women with legal rights equal to those of men. Third-wave feminism, in contrast, began in the early 1990s, and looks to empower both men and women through inspiration and public opinion. But this movie has so many third-wave feminist themes to appeal to a modern feminist audience

As a fourth wave feminist of color, black feminism means many things to me. It means that I have many opportunities available to me that the first, second, and third wave feminist did not have. It also means that although we as women of color have been fighting for equal pay, equal rights and equality in our relationships, that we still have a long way to go. Before I took this course, I thought that feminism was about equality, fighting, and power. When it comes to equality, I thought about

French New Wave: Breaking the Standards The French New Wave during the 1950s and 1960s broke the standards of cinema, and revolutionized the film industry. “During the late 1950s and early 1960s, the New Wave rejuvenated France’s already prestigious cinema and energized the international art cinema as well as film criticism and theory, reminding many contemporary observers of Italian neorealism’s impact right after World War II” (Neupert xv). World War II left in a large amount of debt. At that time
