3.2415 The Symbolic Significance of Vision in The Princess and the Goblin and The Wizard of Oz.
The thesis that will be argued is that in both texts sight/vision is used as a metaphor cautioning children about trusting everything that they see. Although the texts differ in the symbolic significance attached to sight/vision - with its depiction in The Princess and the Goblin having more obvious religious overtones - in both imagination is shown to be a more important quality in relating to those around us without prejudice than is pure vision. 7.5 pgs. 9 f/c. 2b.

7.3874 Antonioni's "L'avventura" and "Blow-Up" and Fellini's "Otto e mezzo" as works of Self-Reflexive "Auteur Cinema".
Two of the post-war directors whose works most prominently exhibit characteristics of "auteur cinema" are Michelangelo Antonioni and Federico Fellini. As will be seen, in Otto e mezzo, Fellini's creation of tension between the director's personality and the narrative with which he is working emphasizes the self-reflexivity of this work. Like Fellini, Antonioni - in his classic L'avventura - emphasizes the nature of the film as an artifact. However, Antonioni "auteur-ship" is characterized more by an emphasis on formal devices - camera shots etc. - to visually define his work, as opposed to Fellini's concentration upon textual narrative. This paper will argue the common element in both director's approaches is an interest in the employment of self-reflexivity to undermine fixed meaning and the certainties of artistic representation of reality. 8 pgs.
