BFI Study Day: follow-up
1) Type up your notes from the day.
2) Write a one-sentence summary of the ideas of the theorists Matthew Daintrey-Hall covered (you can use your notes from task 1 here if relevant):
bell hooks:
Hooks' writing has been the intersectionality of race, capitalism, and gender, and what she describes as their ability to produce and perpetuate systems of oppression and class domination.
Liesbet van Zoonen:
Van Zoonen believes the media portray images of stereotypical women and this behaviour reinforces societal views.
Judith Butler:
Butler states that, historically, feminism (and the world at large) has viewed gender in a binary fashion. In other words, humans are typically divided into two distinct categories: men and women.
Saussure:
Barthes:
Barthes believes that signs we assume and denotations are actually 'dominant connotations' that hide ideologies
Stuart Hall:
Hall says that the audience members adopt one of the following three positions when they decode the text:Dominant, or Preferred Reading, Oppositional Reading and Negotiated Reading.
Lyotard:
Lyotard believes a totalising cultural narrative, that organises thought and experiences into a 'grand 'story' that makes sense of our lives.
Baudrillard:
Hyperreality – a condition in which ‘reality’ has been replaced by simulacra.”
Simulacra- Imitation that seems more real than the things it's imitating.
3) Choose one of the films we saw extracts from and watch the whole movie: Captain Fantastic (2016), Pulp Fiction (1994) or Inception (2010). Write a 300 word analysis of your chosen film using theories from the study day (use the exam paragraph structure we were shown on the day - theory introduction, examples from text, why this 'proves' or 'disproves' the theory).
Captain Fantastic (2016)
Ben Cash , his significant other Leslie and their six youngsters live somewhere down in the wild of Washington state. Segregated from society, Ben and Leslie commit their reality to bringing up their children - teaching them to think basically, preparing them to be physically fit and athletic, managing them in the wild without innovation and exhibiting the excellence of existing together with nature. At the point when Leslie bites the dust all of a sudden, Ben must bring his protected posterity into the outside world.

Saussure:
Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) was a Swiss professor of linguistics who changed the way language is understood. He was a peer of Freud, Durkheim, Darwin and Marx.
He argued that meaning is created inside language in the relations of difference between its parts.
