third Session - General Discussion

input with an instructive presentation on the contemporary reactions G. begins the session. In the course turns out that "2001" caused to his world premiere rather skeptical, irritated by adults and responses. About the visual and technical brilliance is indeed widely consensus, but others criticized the actual and perceived length of the film, the moderately-developed characters and the lack of a classic plot: a first track for us, that the usual parameters for evaluation classic Hollywood films for "2001" are not really suitable.

That such excessive demands - even if the film is sorted now firmly in the canon - still be observed today, and particularly for us to even guides us through associative and free discussion of our observations. That the film has length, is beyond question; surprising in the light of changed viewing habits, however, is that it was "2001" is also perceived in 1968 as a stark deceleration.
An indication of the already decelerating acting Overture takes us on general observations of the use of music in "2001". It is striking that the music industry, particularly machine performances, but rarely human activities accompanied: happy dance spaceships in orbit, even a sexual union is implied. In contrast, humans appear in "2001" as a bare Rational following officials, just as they would have - you realize, "2001" as one of his stories of the people below the horizon of his relationship to his art - exkorporiert emotional and aesthetic aspects of their being in the course in the technology . So it is also the on-board computer HAL 9000, which appears in "2001" at most "human": He is subject to errors and hubris is vain and vengeful when he was overthrown and forced to beg for mercy. Against this background, the conclusion of "2001" as the overcoming of physical dependence of people suggest as a threshold step in a new level of being human.

Toward the end, we discuss some aspects of art history. this finds the iconographic near the scene of the aged Bowman on his death bed to Michelangelo's "Adam" is, and the similarity between the monolith and the "Black Square" by Malevich.

How Long Does Mushrooms Remain Contagious

first Meeting - Introduction & Organizational

The first meeting has taken place successfully on Wednesday, with around 13 participants - a little less than expected / hoped for, but probably still more than usual project tutorials. After all, the interdisciplinary nature is preserved (if the composition remains so): almost half of the participants not studied cultural studies. Some other participants, who yesterday could not be there, have already announced, so hopefully the number will grow, or maybe it does.

There is something lost in the KVV (not to say, been ignored) that we assign performance records and a master module are assigned. If this is an incentive coupons can master advanced study and master program can be acquired. I hope to remain non-Kuwis us despite the lack of possibility to receive ticket purchase.
















Anyway, it looks now as if our plan would be adopted and accepted been (at least has no complaints, despite repeated requests): The individual sessions will be moderated by the participants, it is not intended to advance the common prestigious film, nor read the text in the foreground. Rather, both, along with the "Host (-enteam)" recycled material, the basis of his discussion. Additional films are deposited for private viewing and can be taken.
Some issues are already half forgiven, their own ideas of the participants expressed and will soon be integrated into an updated weekly schedule. Vulnerabilities have been identified by us, as we have integrated no historical context. Also try I have to persuade my partner to ensure that we give a tiny introduction to film analysis. This may not be murder moderately interesting, but certainly a good possibility.

We have decided to write something in each session to the blog to get some kind of protocol at the end of the Projekttutorium. Participants are also encouraged to send us anything, what they find and have the option of essays that they write in the PT, to be published in the blog. If someone is particularly ambitious, he was invited as a blog co-author.

If all fun and interested, it will be a great tutorial :-)
