2. Which genres and subgenres seem to be incorporated in this film?
3. To what extent does the film subvert them?
4. To what extent does the film also reaffirm a certain normativity?

A Sheep in Wolf’s Corset

Timbral and Vocal Signifiers of Masculinity in The Rocky Horror Picture Show by

STEVEN BEVERBURG REALE

Much commentary on the film has demonstrated that beneath its surface-level celebration of sexual desire and overt message of hedonism, the film instead preserves and reinforces an ethos of restraint and moderation. For example, Raymond Ruble’s psychoanalytic reading(1986: 164) positions Dr Scott as Super-ego, Riff Raff (the assistant) as Ego, and Frank as Id, and suggests that since the will of the Super-ego is enacted through the Ego, RH really promotes a compromise: a sexual middleground rather than the unbridled hypersexuality that characterises Frank. Similarly, John Kilgore (1986: 156) reads Frank’s murder as the reassertion of order and restraint upon the film’s ostensible celebration of sexuality: ‘The film only seems to preach the gospel of absolute pleasure; in reality it acknowledges the existence of sensible limitations. Susan Purdie (1999: 179)takes a stronger position, reminding us that any sexual middle ground promoted by  Rocky Horror is fundamentally inscribed within a patriarchal ethos.

The destruction of Frankenfurter’s world and Brad and Janet’s escape from it (presumably to wed) reaffirm the necessity of a heterosexual procreating society. Thus a conservative ideology contains  Rocky Horror’s outrageous appearances—traditional norms are validated; Frankenfurter is merely a distraction.(Kinkade & Katovich 1992: 200–1)

Film theorist Barry Grant (1991: 124) agrees, writing, ‘The viewer ultimately gains the double satisfaction of both rejecting dominant cultural values and remaining safely inscribed within them.’

Brainstorm the film you saw before the holidays :
who / when / where / what / how and why
what was relevant / what was difficult or unnecessary in your opinion :

The goal of the film was to :
- raise awareness (prevention)
- fight against the disease
- raise money for the scientific research + give visibility
- urge (push) celebrities and politicians to come out to join the cause

- make the government acknowledge the disease
- understand the disease with the help of the Doctor Emma Brookner

- bear witness to the spiral downwards, feel empathy, gain recognition

- lack of romanticization of the movie = show the reality as it is, be truthful, raw,

Ned Weeks' style : aggressive, in-your-face, sometimes rude, forceful, hyperbolic but realistic, and committed

San Francisco = the place to come, a safe haven for the gay community

Young gays didn't fit where they were so they kept rushing to San Francisco in the 60s, 70s, 80s.

There was a lot of sex & much more confidence in being sexual and being yourself.

1981 : a turning point = pharmacy with polaroid photos = "gay cancer". Friends were dying at the very beginning of the epidemy.

Didn't know how it was given to who and by who = a blurry picture of the situation.

But the obituaries (rubrique nécrologique) grew thicker and thicker by the day.

Aids changed people's views of the gay community in a huge way.

All of the man's friends are gone : to tell his story is to tell their story too. It's a duty of remembrance.

Keith Haring :
1) Read the Culture tip and describe the document
2) Explain Haring's goal

This painting by Keith Haring was painted in 89, one year after his diagnosis with AIDS (he died the year after). He uses primary and bright/vivid/saturated colours (blue red yellow) so the spectator can see it right away (eye-catching)! He also uses thick/bold and simplified lines to impact even more the viewer and reinforce the movements and emotions (just like in comic books) = paradoxical = conveys a sense of emergency and a sense of stasis (not moving, not doing anything, not improving). His style is in between pop art and childish, uncluttered/pared down (épuré) to strike the spectator. He is twisting / deflecting the famous Japanese maxim « see no evil (blind), hear no evil (deaf) and speak no evil (dum(b) / mute)» into a representation of the current situation about AIDS = people denying the existence of the illness, people being scared of it. Each character has a pink cross over their body reminding us of the pink triangle (symbol of homosexuality) but also of denial, guilt, they could be seen as targets = they're the ones that are guilty, and they're the ones that should be awoken from their ignorant slumber (sleep). This painting is committed, Haring refers to the organization ACT UP raising awareness about AIDS and pointing out how important it is to know about it, in order not to be afraid of it.

TRAILER : Gays were considered as thieves, prostitutes, devious and perverse, ill, having an issue, threatening family values. It was a long struggle to gain recognition. Milk was killed by Dan White in 78 (another politician).
Soundtrack : Hallelujah (meaning resurrection) drawing a parallel with the action of « coming out » (of the shadows.

1. Pick out the words that are repeated several times to show Milk's goal
2. Identify the options for young gay people according to Milk
3. Say what Milk believes his election signifies for people

HARVEY MILK
He keeps on repeating words like « hope », « young »  and « you » because he was aware that the young gays were the ones that needed his help. Milk points out / emphasizes(LOGOS) that there were only 2 options for young gays at the time : stay in the closet (placard) or commit suicide. Therefore he suggests 2 possibilities : either go to California (considered as a land of freedom + he was the supervisor of San Francisco) or keep on fighting. He aims at being inclusive to all the minorities, (ETHOS = values) he stresses the word « you » many times + « us's » (pun = (play on words) on the plurality of « us » + mirrors/draws a parallel with THE US (the united selves of America) By pointing the people, he makes them feel included, and by sharing his personal story + including children (PATHOS), people can identify to him more easily.
Convincing words + confident tone + low-pitch (grave) + humour = very convincing !

This manifesto tackles the 3 big problems the US has been facing :
- homophobia
- racism
- sexism

The language is provocative, informal/colloquial and aims at shocking / provoking a reaction.
The writer is listing all the potential mistakes a president could do : it helps put everyone on an equal footing and create a sense of identification. You can relate even more to someone who's not perfect/flawless. The use of specific examples illustrates what real life (+ issues) is all about. It is the reversal/opposite of a traditional political speech (that is generally neat/clean).
Using insults and swear words / slurs (like « fag », « hooker », « dyke »...) in her speech reinforces the impact of her text = reappropriating those words can empower people.

1. What happened at the Stonewall inn?
2. Sum up the events and actions that followed

1969. A bar was raided (attacked) by NYPD. Fought back, threw everything into the bar. Riots that snowballed into a movement that spread nationally. It was a catalyst (acceleration) for the Gay Rights Movement.
From now on « we will be out, loud, and proud, and in your face ! »
A man crashed a news broadcast at CBS and CBS was the first channel to talk about it one month later.
There was an apology to the community as well.

But tolerance for LGBT people has decreased!(45% in 2018 against 63% in 2015!)
It's about joining forces with all marginalised people. If you are not accepted you are not safe.

Mark Seagull (who interrupted CBS) « Pride means visibility »
The bar opened again as a bar + it's a national monument.

There's a young woman in the foreground that is being arrested by two police officers. They are wearing vintage outfits, it must take place in the past. The girl is probably a maid/servant. They look quite serious, we can suppose she may have done something bad : she may have committed a murder, or she may just have stolen something, cast a spell or lied. The background shows women wearing the same apron, all kneeling down, probably praying. It seems to be a factory (working outfits?) a sisterhood, a boarding school or a church.

Titles :
1§ The reinvention of the Gothic codes / mixing and blurring (flouter) the genre

2§ The woman behind the character / her biography

3§ How to make a good Canadian Gothic tv show ? (attraction / crime / murder / taboo)
4§ An unreliable / untrustworthy narrator and her nightmare = a whodunnit (who has done it ?) = a detective story
5§ A neverending / mysterious story = truth or fiction ?

THE STRUCTURE OF A NOVEL :

EXPOSITION – Grace Marks / 16 years old / Irish servant / Canada

RISING ACTION – Discovery of the murders (employer / housekeeper)

CLIMAX – She's being accused of murder

FALLING ACTION – sent to « jail » = asylum / mental homeb

DENOUEMENT – pardoned, flees to the US

The quotes deal with / refer to / discuss 3 different themes: emptiness, feeling numb (anesthesized), solitude, self-knowledge, obsessive thoughts like breaking up with someone.

We could connect the first quote to the first painting  "FitzGerald Pritchard's fence" because it shows an uneventful, uninteresting foreground where nothing seems to happen, just like the quote that focuses on the character's emptiness, as if a dimension was lacking (missing). But we could also draw a parallel between the text and the second painting "Storm over the fields" depicting (portraying) a very flat field (like the character's life) and an ominous (threatening) storm in the background, which could allude to the character's depressive state.

The second quote deals with solitude and its benefits. Solitude can lead to a better understanding of oneself according to the heroine. This quote could be related to the 3rd painting by Gonsalves. Solitude pervades (is diffused) the painting (she's alone but not lonely, maybe she's a loner). It reveals a young lady wandering (walking aimlessly) in the forest. Her body is reproduced many times creating an interesting optical illusion where she merges with (melts / blends in = fusion) the natural setting made of fir trees. Besides she's holding a lantern. This could epitomize (symbolize) her own enlightenment/illumination that she gained access to thanks to solitude and soul searching.

Finally the last quote dwells on (underlines) the obsession the character is trapped into. She seems to be haunted by the thought of ending things. This could mean breaking up with her boyfriend or perhaps committing suicide. This obsessive pattern intertwined with (mixed with) the haunting quality of these recurring thoughts could probably be associated to the still from the movie. The heroine's expression sheds light on her torment, she seems torn apart (déchirée), and there's a clear distance between her and her boyfriend. This distance and cold is symbolically represented by the dark, gloomy and snowy surroundings that give a major importance to the heroine's tortured spirit.

1. lexical field of fear :
spine-tingling, chilling, macabre, the eerie abyss, to lurk in the shadows, nightmarish, bloody, dark

2. It is typically gothic because it deals with monsters, the macabre and takes place in and through the woods (which is a symbolic place for mysterious things to happen, things that are outside of civilisation)

3. Carroll's influences : Neil Gaiman, Tim Burton, Grimm Tales, Dave McKean

4. It can be considered modern because the gothic stems from the romantic movement (Romanticism) which is characterized by exaggerated feelings and lyricism. Here the graphic novel is quite minimalistic.

# data[].attributes.body
3 groups :
1) questions a/b/c
2) questions d/e/f
3) questions g/h

Some key elements :
the typical gothic setting,
the power struggles,
the grotesque...

+ short exposés in teams afterward

1) Imagine the rest of the story : She may die like every other gothic heroine ? It's the stereotypical gothic fiction (supernatural being on the run / loose + a confused/scared/innocent woman)

But the heroine doesn't die, the ghost was actually a goat (close enough!)

Characters : Sylvia = the main character, she doesn't feel close to Clark / she embodies (incarner) the submissive (inferior) cliché = not talking back, passive, subservient (soumise)
Clark = Carla's husband + Sylvia's neighbour, is he jealous of Sylvia ? Passive-aggressive + mysterious vibes = tries to mess with Sylvia, demands an apology from her (excuses), he's completely / utterly (-) sexist, machist, degrading
Carla(his wife) tried to escape = Clark may be violent / physically or mentally abusive ? / is he a murderer
Carla (mentioned) = Sylvia's friend

2) Clark : tall, lean / slender (slim), mysterious, probably dangerous, very machist/sexy
Sylvia : naive, innocent, surprised / shocked / startled / dumbfounded / puzzled / agape (bouche-bée) + panic-stricken
End = not afraid anymore, definitely more comfortable
Supernatural elements = thick fog, Clark came from nowhere like the vision, there's a build up until the supposed climax of the story (peak) but it turns out the vision is only a ghost = anticlimactic situation (burlesque)
Power shift / reversal = Sylvia is no longer afraid of him whereas Clark is weak / frightened

3) The climax is a joke / it is thwarted (contrecarré) by the plot twist : the growing fear (because of the mysterious sounds) leads to a ridiculous revelation : the « vision » / ghost they thought they saw is actually a goat ! = anticlimax
Gothic elements :
- supernatural elements (weird / eerie sounds),
- the relationship between the overpowering / charismatic man (the villain) + the damsel in distress = typically gothic
- the goat could be the Devil's ally

a) Gothic elements+ feelings?

The two book covers feature various Gothic elements. On the first cover, a lone, bedraggled (tired/dishevelled/almost dead) tree produces an impression of desolation. We can see the profile of a woman whose face is out of the frame, which conveys a sense of mystery. The house in the background stands for a closed, imprisoning space that is typical of Gothic style. Is it a haunted house? What’s hidden behind the facade?

The second cover is made up of a skull (crâne) inside a church or a library, an arch, and winged creatures as in the opening still (p. 134). There's a shady (louche) man at the top of the cover, his silhouette looks like one of a villain, he's inside a cameo. The cameo is usually a piece of jewelry representing the loved ones or religious scenes (Virgin Mary &Jesus). Here the codes are subverted to enhance (amplify) the darker side of this world we're going to penetrate.

Feelings they evoke:
The first is blurred and incomplete. It looks mysterious. The second one refers to death and religion. The arch suggests that the reader is about to enter into a dark world.

This video sheds light on the different gothic tropes. The video is divided into 3 parts : place/time, power and the supernatural/real.

1. Place / Time  :  places are often claustrophobic like prisons, or very open spaces like wild and remote (isolated) lands.

2. There's always a power structure within gothic fictions. The gothic heroes test the human limits, they are often driven by supernatural forces which compel (force) them to do evil! Fear & excitement are often intertwined (mixed). Women are mostly vulnerable, passive or objectified...

3. There are 2 possible explanations for the weird events occuring in the fictions : either the supernatural is the answer to all of the questions, either there's a real and natural explanation.

La place des adjectifs dans la phrase.
Généralités :
L'adjectif qualificatif est un mot qui permet d'exprimer, de décrire une qualité que possède l'être, l'objet ou la situation auquel il se rapporte :

Il peut être attribut du COD :
I find this exercise easy. / Je trouve cet exercice facile.

Il existe aussi l'adjectif classifiant qui permet de classer l'être, l'objet ou la situation, auquel il se rapporte, dans un ensemble :

Les adjectifs marquant un rang sont également des adjectifs classifiants :
Que faut-il savoir ?
En anglais, les adjectifs sont invariables . Ils ne prennent donc jamais de S au pluriel ni la marque du féminin ou du masculin.

L'adjectif épithète se place généralement devant le nom qu'il qualifie.
A smart boy / Un garçon intelligent.
Quel ordre faut-il respecter ?

La difficulté commence quand il y a plusieurs adjectifs pour qualifier un même nom. Voici un tableau pour vous aider :

Jugement/Opinion (1) - Taille (2) - âge, forme (3) - couleur (4) - nationalité (5) - matière (6) - type/objet (7)

A tall (2) young (3) dog.

Live :
- comment on the posture / attitude of the singer, what does his gesture refer to?
-> Ben Harper supports the black panther movement with this famous salute salute (fist clenched)which is a symbol of power / self-assertion (you stand up for your rights)

1. Lexical fields : violence/belittlement (shot me / cut me / shame / broken) + sadness (pain / weakened / tears / cries / gloom) + happiness (happiness / confidence / laugh ) + wealth (goldmine / diamond mine / oil well :puits de pétrole) = emotional but very contradictory / paradoxical, it's an emotional rollercoaster

2. « Does my happiness upset you / why are you best with gloom » = dwell on / point out / underscore / underline the fact that some racist people may be upset because of the happiness / freedom of the black community, it's a theoretical question, he's not really asking the audience, he wants them to question themselves about this, this could be seen as an ironic statement. He's mocking some white people who are selfish, feel superior to others, feel power-hungry, hateful / scornful / disdainful (méprisant) towards the African-American community.

3. « Cause I walk like I've got a diamond mine » = walking proudly, not showing any misery/sadness.
« Cause I laugh like I've got an oil well » = simile for wealth, but not material wealth, he has some sort of power = positive thoughts / self-love / self-esteem / self-confidence / he's grateful for his ordeals, his legacy, his experience...

4. « still like the dust I'll rise » : this metaphor refers to the myth of the Phoenix which caught fire and was reborn (from his ashes / dust). The black community is compared to the Phoenix who suffered from injustice, prejudice, violence, but also bears an inner (internal) fire, a real strength and was revived after so many ordeals (difficulties)

Reference to presidents / dictatorship « it's hard to be a king » (Guinea / Somalia)
It echoes / it mirrors / it alludes to contemporary issues as well : Boko Hara kidnapping of young girls
A celebration of African-American culture, shedding light on a black cast in a very white environment such as Hollywood. All the stereotypes are debunked/dispelled (demystified), and we normalize racial equality + set 'new' standards by offering inspirational heroes.

Is Wakanda Real? The African Roots of 'Black Panther'

# data[].attributes.body
This film released last year is a real tribute to African cultures, and raises many questions about today's cultural appropriation (in museums for instance : artefacts that were robbed by Colons, who were glorified and praised for their "discovery").
This picture of the actors on the set of the film are wearing clothes merging tradition with modernity (like the coat of armour, the wax fabric = traditional fabric...) . They are all put on an equal footing. They look, strong, self-confident, sure of themselves and powerful. They're armed with traditional weapons like the spear, or the boomerang. They also wear traditional body painting or ornemental scars that are considered as an "enhancement", a sign of beauty and power.
The backdrop is made of old roots, and crumbling stairs. The setting looks dilapidated and rundown. This could be a metaphor for this old and rich continent being robbed from its resources and constantly exploited.
The film is urging us to stop clichés, and reverses traditional roles (no, the black guy will not die first in this film, he won't be a sidekick either...) it also subverts our traditional Hollywood expectations.

- a striking use of bold colours (black, red and golden yellow = black and red are the colours of communism, even of anarchy), with a psychedelic backdrop giving a kinetic impression to the painting, giving life to it.
- eyes looking towards the sky: she's determined and strong-willed. Angela Davis is a famous philosophy professor, writer and activist for the Black Panther Movements, and the Black and Women Civil Rights. She's considered as a leader, a lumineer and a figurehead of the movement.
- Her earrings bear 2 symbols : peace and love, and a star = probably refers to communism as Angela's philosophy is firmly rooted in communism.
- Paradoxically and interestingly enough, she's represented as a religious icon, her afro is like a halo. But she's an atheist icon! We also make out (see) some touches of gold, gold is mainly used in religious paintings too.
- This painting is  a tribute, an homage to Angela Davis that led the way, was a trailblazer (pionneer) and paved the way for the black community.

In a heartfelt / moving and beautiful spoken poem, B.Yung denounces/criticizes a country where Black people still fall prey to prejudice and inequalities, despite the struggles, despite the promises "a change is gonna come" (refers to Sam Cooke's song "A Change is Gonna Come" which became the Civil Rights' anthem in the 60s)... His staccato rhythm (harping upon/repeating "I'm tired") combined with a relevant imagery (whips and chains = school geometry but also a reference to slavery), and the use of slang and the colourful (even foulmouthed) language he uses contribute to creating a vivid, vibrant and poignant depiction of a sad, heart-breaking America clinging to old prerogatives (white people still dominating this society) and old prejudices (black people being undermined are caught in a downward spiral)

A provocative clip celebrating African origins, worldwide culture, wrapped up in a short movie. He's reenacting tribal and traditional dances. MJ is a bridge connecting different cultures. BoW refers to races, colours and the yin/yang : energies balancing each other out. The USA is a pot pourri/blend of cultures. The musical bridge "I am tired..." show MJ in a world on fire, KKK crosses in the background, wars... He's praising peace, tolerance, acceptance, and criticizing wars and hatred. The morphing scene is the climax of the clip (the "peak"), enhances people's similarities. AT the end = breaking the fourth wall (we see the cameras, the props, the actors...it's a clip within a clip) and this is the transition towards the censored bonus : MJ is shapeshifting (transforming) into a black panther (symbol of the black counterculture from the 60s), he's channeling his anger to perform an energetic/angry/provocative dance, screaming/rubbing himself/breaking bottles and store fronts windows (alluding to « Do the Right Choice » by Spike Lee), tears his tee-shirt out and the « Royal Army Hotel » sign is falling down = political symbol. Looping the loop with the average American family (beginning : the typical family / end = the caricatural Simpson family)

MJ is sitting amongst members of African tribes, wearing traditional outfits (pagne), body painting, + tools and weapons (spears, shields...). MJ is not put aside, he seems to be part of this community / blend in / fit in, but at the same time stands out (light-skinned, wearing white). This looks paradoxical as the whiter he got, the blacker his music became. But the faces around him painted in black and white remind us of his "duality" which shouldn't bother anyone: no matter what his skin looked like, he was and remained black. This spreads a message of tolerance and acceptance "it don't matter if you're black or white"

William T. Williams began making "hard-edge" abstract paintings at Yale, where he studied with artist Al Held. This painting was named after jazz saxophonist John Coltrane and may conjure the cascades of sound in his performances.

Trane was made in New York in the same year that Williams-as a member of the Smokehouse Associates-created a number of abstract wall paintings in Harlem. That year he also set up the artist-in-residence program at the Studio Museum in Harlem.

Here, Faith Ringgold documented the 1971 uprising at Attica Prison, over demands for inmate rights, that left forty-three dead. The image presents the Attica Prison riot not as an isolated event but as an American tragedy to be understood within an ongoing, nationwide context. The caption reads: "This map of American violence is incomplete / Please write in whatever you find lacking."

At the height of its popularity, this print was circulated as two thousand small-format posters. Ringgold first studied printmaking at the Black Arts Repertory Theatre/School founded by Amiri Baraka.

Perhaps Betye Saar's best-known work, The Liberation of Aunt Jemima juxtaposes radical Black Nationalist imagery of weapons, a raised fist, and African kente cloth with Aunt Jemima, the Southern "mammy" recognized as the face of the best-selling pancake mix and a stereotype of smiling, docile servitude. Saar was appalled by racist depictions she found on everyday objects at flea markets and in curio shops. Inspired in part by Joseph Cornell's Surrealist assemblages, here she incorporated a kitchen notepad holder in the form of a Black female figure. Moved by the strength and determination of Black women, Saar sought to recast a painfully enduring image of Black female subservience as a symbol of empowerment.

Mars Dust was one of a series of paintings that Alma Thomas included in a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1972. At age eighty, she became the first African American woman to have a solo show there. Fascinated by the technological advances of the space age, she looked at daily reports of NASA's Mariner 9 mission to photograph Mars. Huge dust storms on the planet, which initially prevented the relay of images back to Earth, inspired her to make this work.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Frank Bowling's work drew from Color Field painting of the 1940s and 1950s, yet maintained representational images. He poured waves of acrylic over stencils of continents, which were removed before more paint was applied, leaving ghostly outlines. Continents emerge from and disappear into color; oceans and rivers are combined with pools and trails of liquid paint. While many Black Americans were pointing to Africa as a mother continent, Bowling's maps celebrate a more fluid and open idea of identity and belonging in the world, enacting what scholar Kobena Mercer calls a "decolonial space of decentering." Texas Louise and Dan Johnson's Surprise were included in Bowling's solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in late 1971.

Born in Bartica, Guyana, Bowling moved to England in his teens. In 1966 he relocated to New York, where he joined a group of abstract artists and included many of them (such as William T. Willliams and Daniel LeRue Johnson) in his 1969 exhibition 5+1 at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. This exhibition, and Bowling's extensive writings, argued for an expansive notion of Black art encompassing both abstract and figurative.

September 14, 2018-February 3, 2019

Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power shines light on a broad spectrum of Black artistic practice from 1963 to 1983, one of the most politically, socially, and aesthetically revolutionary periods in American history. Black artists across the country worked in communities, in collectives, and individually to create a range of art responsive to the moment-including figurative and abstract painting, prints, and photography; assemblage and sculpture; and performance.

Many of the over 150 artworks in the exhibition directly address the unjust social conditions facing Black Americans, such as Faith Ringgold's painting featuring a "bleeding" flag and Emory Douglas's graphic images of beleaguered Black city life. Additional works present oblique references to racial violence, such as Jack Whitten's abstract tribute to Malcolm X, made in response to the activist's assassination, or Melvin Edwards's contorted metal sculptures. Working as a collective, members of the AfriCOBRA group presented images of uplift and empowerment. Barkley Hendricks, Emma Amos, and others painted everyday portraits of Black people with reverence and wit. All the artists embraced a spirit of aesthetic innovation, but some took this as their primary goal, often through experiments with color and paint application.

This exhibition brings together for the first time the excitingly disparate practices of more than sixty Black artists from this important moment, offering an unparalleled opportunity to see their extraordinary works side by side.

What's the most socially effective? Which one could spark a real social change / raise awareness the most?

On the one hand: peaceful art can resonate with more people than confrontational art that is meant to shock and upset people
On the other hand: the truth also needs to be told in order to raise awareness and sensitize different layers of the population about different social issues.

However/Nevertheless, one should beware of the backlash / difficult consequences of a confrontation, sometimes Peace is a more universal language, but we should not live in a world of "yes-men", we are not subservient and compliant citizens!

Use of the parody (American Gothic is supposed to represent the austere, stern and strict lifestyle in rural America in the 1930s with values such as work and religion, a life deprived of any leisure) to show how the American values (symbolised by the flag being out of proportion on the picture) are not applied to everyone. The charwoman (cleaning lady) working at Washington DC Offices is clearly part of the underpriviledged community, the downtrodden and the people left behind. Her tool is the broom, and this picture is clearly satirical : Ella Watson looks expressionless, blasé, even a bit dejected, she didn't realise her "american dream"...

The Great Migration began because of a "push" and a "pull." Disenfranchisement and Jim Crow laws led many African Americans to hope for a new life up north. Hate groups and hate crimes cast alarm among African American families of the Deep South.

Unfortunately, northerners did not welcome African Americans with open arms. While the legal systems of the northern states were not as obstructionist toward African American rights, the prejudice among the populace was as acrimonious. White laborers complained that African Americans were flooding the employment market and lowering wages. Most new migrants found themselves segregated by practice in run down urban slums. The largest of these was Harlem. Writers, actors, artists, and musicians glorified African American traditions, and at the same time created new ones.

DST : exemple de EE d'élève (Ugliness/Beauty)

# data[].attributes.body
Nowadays, the words beautiful and ugly are often used to express many things : to react to something or someone, to criticize, to harm, to annoy and so on.
How can the terms beauty and ugliness be defined, and what are their various meanings ?
On the one hand, we will be listing the different significations associated to the given words. On the other hand, we will see how those mentalities are applied to real life situations.

Firstly, I am going to describe the words of beauty and ugliness, and then I am going to share my perception. Before starting, I need to warn my reader that it is delicate to provide a proper definition of a word I believe based on subjectivity about on our personal tastes. In my opinion, beauty is a preconceived idea made by society, which is supposed to embody perfection. This picture of the perfect man and woman is represented by flawless skin, not too fat not too skinny, just enough muscles, and a delighted smile. Obviously, not each and every human bein on the earth has the same definition of beauty. For some people, what others find ugly, they will find it lovely. Generally, the word ugly is defined by what is not pretty.

Finally, I personally do not really dissociate the two terms. If they are used to describe people, I would tend to find a wide variety of people beautiful. Indeed, as for me, attractive people are those who are at ease with themselves and are not afraid of showing their shortcomings, as well as their qualities.

Then, as I explained beforehand, I don't believe there can be rules to define beauty and ugliness. We all make ourselves our own definition based on who we are, our education, and the kind of things we are familiar with. Furthermore, to come back to what I said before, the different types can coexist and live happily together, despite few tensions because of jealousy. However, for some people, it may become a burden on a daily basis because of prejudice. For instance, one of the most popular belief is that one can't have both beauty and brain.
Indeed there are a plethora of prejudices based on looks. Those are expressed though art, movies. They are many teen films talking about blonde girls. I particularly enjoyed Legally Blonde because it shows that despite being blonde and having almost everyone telling her she can't become a lawyer, she goes for it without hesitation and believes in herself. I also believe that to make a beautiful art piece, the artist must make beauty and monstrosity coexist. For instance Bosch is able to paint beautifully cute creatures who are also cruel. And his paintings always convey a wonderful tale mood.

To conclude, there is no such thing as something pretty and ugly. Therefore there are as many definitions and meaning as human beings on this earth.

Wet Sounds features a line-up of composers and producers from near and far – including Bristol's dynamic French sound voyager H (ZamZam Recordings) and Wet Sounds instigator Joel Cahen –  whose specially commissioned performances can be experienced via three sound spaces in a swimming pool: one inside the water (through a sub-aquatic soundsystem installed for the occasion), one outside the water and one a merger of the two as the listener floats on the surface of the pool. As the listener moves in and out of the water, so they move through the three distinct sound spaces, navigating their own personal sonic route, augmented by a special light installation from visual artist Rod MacLachlan.
