"Flags Of Our Fathers" - A Photograph's Ability To Shape Popular Perception Of An Event
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Perhaps no other photographic image represents the inherently painful conditions of political and social upheaval than that of Joe Rosenthal's famous photograph of Marines raising a U.S. flag over Iwo Jima during World War II. The historic image - which "derives its power from a simple, dynamic composition, a sense of momentum and the energy of six men straining toward a common goal" (Macy, 2006) - illustrates just how popular perception of an event revolves around considerable randomness and unpredictability inherently associated with the historic impact a given photo might embody. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

"Madonna Enthroned" Times Two: Cimabue and Duccio.
[ send me this paper ]
(11 pp) One way that art history has been studied
is to trace the development of the realistic
portrayal of the human form through visual art.
We move from the ideal of the Greek physical body,
to the early Gothic Christian influence of linear
and simple depictions, forward to the beginnings
of the Renaissance where once more the human shape
starts to develop a realistic identity.
Bibliography lists 6 sources and 3 visuals.

"National Geographic": Political Propaganda or Insight into the Exotic and Fascinating?
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the criticism that has been waged by some authors against "National Geographic". Analyzing those criticisms and evaluating them against one specific article in particular this paper concludes that "National Geographic" is not a political publication and it is not intended to be. The publication's "images are formed, selected and controlled, purveyed and read" (as one author has contended) all right but they are presented for the specific purpose of giving us a view of the exotic and the interesting not the political and controversial. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
