'Popeye is Not a Mickey Mouse Affair'
[ send me this paper ]
Arguments have existed suggesting that fictional characters cannot be copyrighted because they are an abstraction of the minds of the viewer and, therefore, can have no tangible existence outside the original work. Yet it is now recognized that both Popeye and Mickey Mouse receive copyright protection on the basis that they were sufficiently developed to command protection. This 12 page paper considers the issue of copyright laws as they have developed in Japan and reflects upon the notion that fictional characters like Mickey Mouse and Popeye have been 'developed sufficiently to command protection.' Bibliography lists 12 sources.

“David” as Seen by Donatello, Michelangelo and Bernini
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper comparing the early and high renaissance depiction of David of Donatello and Michelangelo with the baroque representation of Bernini. The viewer is left guessing at what juncture Michelangelo’s David is standing both tense and serene. Donatello’s David clearly has finished his mission but gives no information about the moments preceding. Bernini, by using the baroque concept of time, combines these approaches, thereby placing himself into the baroque period through technique, as well as through chronology. Bibliography lists 10 sources in 14 footnotes.
