1. Die Nibelungen: Siegfried, and the Myth of ‘Myth’
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvetenskaperAbstract : This paper sets out to critically discuss and analyse both the scholarly and general implementation of the word ‘myth’ as designator of style, narrative, and cultural significance, within film studies and adjacent academic fields. This is done through an examination of scholarly discourse surrounding the topics of mythology, folk tale, and fairy tale, specifically in regard to Fritz Lang’s film Die Nibelungen: Siegfried (1924), and, albeit to a lesser extent, its sequel Die Nibelungen: Kriemhild’s Rache (1924).

2. The Insect Woman – Contextualising Imamura and the Intricacies of Global Cinema Study
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaperAbstract : This essay represents an attempt to further the understanding of the films by Japanese New Wave director Shohei Imamura through the use of post-colonial theory, and political and cultural contextualisation; it also offers discussion on the inherent issues of discussing non-Western cinema from a Western point-of-view, and how post-colonial theory can be used tentatively by Western writers to prevent the perpetuation of orientalism and the generalisation of non-Western cultures as a single entity simply titled ‘the Other’. This is done through an in-depth exploration of Western film theory’s problematic relationship to Asian cinema, along with disposition and historical contextualisation relevant to Imamura’s films and the Japanese New Wave movement of the 1960s.
