«Quando si parla di Cussler è la fantasia a comandare e lo scopo della fantasia è quello di emozionarci, stupirci.» la Repubblica - Luca d''Andrea Edna, profonda come l’oceano, o Nellie, che abbaglia come un caleidoscopio? Isaac Bell è concentrato su questa decisione quando la Commissione federale lo incarica di investigare sulla Standard Oil, la compagnia petrolifera fondata da John D. Rockefeller che sta fatturando incassi record, riuscendo a sbaragliare qualsiasi forma di concorrenza grazie a colpi di fortuna molto… sospetti. Il miglior detective dell’agenzia investigativa Van Dorn sa che qualcosa non torna, ma quando inizia a indagare il caso assume subito una svolta mortale. Qualcuno sta eliminando come mosche tutti gli avversari della Standard Oil, riuscendo a colpire anche il più prezioso dei testimoni di Bell, ucciso da un proiettile sparato con straordinaria precisione da una distanza impossibile. Il cecchino misterioso lascia una scia di morte ovunque passi – omicidi, sparatorie, avvelenamenti, curiosi incidenti e grandi esplosioni che coinvolgono le raffinerie indipendenti nelle regioni della «febbre del petrolio» –, una scia che attira Isaac Bell e la sua voglia di assicurarlo alla legge. In un inseguimento serratissimo tra Kansas e Texas, dall’enclave dei magnati di New York alla Russia dei giacimenti petroliferi di Baku, devastati dalla guerra nel Mar Caspio, Isaac Bell non molla il suo obiettivo. E, tornato in America, si prepara per lo scontro finale. Il più esplosivo di tutti.

This thesis sets out to confront drug and alcohol abuse by American servicemen during the Vietnam War, previously defying in depth historical analysis. New oral histories available within the last few years have shed new light on a previously elusive subject. Harnessing medical literature, government documents, oral histories and secondary sources this work seeks to explain the widespread alcohol and drug abuse the Vietnam War became famous for. Factors contributing to abuse and elaborated upon include widespread availability of drugs and alcohol, military machismo, the inability of military leadership to cope with the burgeoning substance abuse problems and the rise of the domestic drug scene domestically.

"In his explanation of 2001: A Space Odyssey’s concluding “Stargate” sequence, Stanley Kubrick privileges its psychological and affective aspects, stating that “[the concluding sequence’s] meaning has to be found on a sort of psychological level rather than in a specific literal interpretation” (qtd. in Grant 81-82). Expanded beyond this film and into Kubrick’s corpus altogether, his films largely display an emphasis on the psychological impacts they have over spectators. More specifically, Kubrick’s films have been described as cold cinematic texts that resist emotional engagement (Kolker, “Rage for Order” 60; Freer 114). Consider 2001’s Stargate sequence --in which a series of chromatic images appear onscreen at random with no obvious narrative purpose or explanation --as exemplary of the emotional estrangement underlying Kubrick’s films. Conventional narrative cinema provides clear-cut narratives that allow méconnaissance (or misrecognition) to occur in the cinema, during which spectators immerse themselves into the film’s narrative verisimilitude; but Kubrick’s films resist this by thwarting such expectations --as is evident in the convoluted Stargate sequence --to create an alienating aesthetic unique to the Kubrickian corpus. Psychologically, Kubrick’s cinema alienates spectators from identifying with his narratives, which consequently thwarts emotional identification from spectators. In order to theorize this trend from a psychoanalytical perspective, I explore the convergence of two conflicting Lacanian film theories --an earlier version which resists méconnaissance and the latter version which alternatively requests that theorists use misrecognition to observe moments when their immersion is disrupted --occurring throughout Kubrick’s films. There is a marked discordance between conventional narrative structures and Kubrick’s deconstruction of them, one which shall be explored in this thesis to illustrate the various ways in which Kubrick’s alienating aesthetic is manifested, particularly in A Clockwork Orange, Eyes Wide Shut, and 2001: A Space Odyssey"-- from abstract.
