Philosophy of Precognitive Dream in the American Film (Minority Report - a Model)
...Show More Authors

When we talk about the foresight in films, it is necessary to talk about dreams because foresight represents one of its distinct types. The Precognitive vision has become a possible material in dealing with as subjects in the film industry that adopt these ideas with their philosophical and scientific orientations, because they represent the imagination that predictors are specialized with. It can be invested through the introduction of a vision of another kind to achieve its goals and ambitions in the film industry and in particular the huge institutions of production as in Hollywood. The cinema works in the light of those concepts of production which found the prognostic dream (the foresight) as a distinctive genre in its films,
The research included the problem of research which was that the philosophy of foresight has distinctive characteristics worthy of attention and tracking from the precognitive vision in activating the elements of cinematic language and narrative to show the contents rooted from those ideas, hence the importance of the research came to confirm the intellectual necessities of the precognitive vision in the cinematic films reaching the objective of the research which is the disclosure of the content of foresight in the American film.
The theoretical framework included two sections the first of which dealt with the philosophical idea of insight, and the second dealt with the philosophy of insight in the American film in addition to the theoretical framework indicators.
The research procedures used the theoretical framework indicators as a tool for analysis through a film model that dealt with the issue of foresight in the film (Minority Report).
The results revealed that the film in showing the foresight is subject to what the human natural laws are subject to with the same dream vision. As far as the conclusions are concerned, the most important of which is that the level of foresight in seeing the details that are not possible in the reality made the predictor able to manage the events and with absolute freedom as a manufacturer, controller and participant in details difficult for others to control as it is a subjective authority. In the light of the results, the researcher recommends studying books on dreams in the literary field for the purpose of coming up with ideas for filmmaking.

‘Resymbolization’ of a Text; a Relatively Different Perspective of Graham Greene’s The Quiet American
...Show More Authors

The Quiet American could be considered as one of Graham Greene’s most distinguished books; it is an epochal novel written during the phase of the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union. The novel deals with the interference of the United States in Vietnam ten years before Vietnam’s war. The role the Americans played in arousing an inner political crisis in the country previous to her military invention. The book reflects that this action was not out of American government concern about Vietnamese people themselves but merely a political foreign affair. They wanted to stop communism from spreading widely and reducing its role in the East. This paper attempts to analyse the novel concentrating on the message Greene intend

A Semiotic Study of Reduplicative Words in Selected American Slang Expressions
...Show More Authors

This study explores the semiotic aspects of American slang, specifically focusing on the phenomenon of reduplicative expressions in informal speech. Despite the extensive research on American slang, limited attention has been given to the cultural and mythical meanings embedded within reduplicative expressions. To address this gap, the study investigates how these expressions convey denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings within casual American discourse. The objectives of the study include: 1. To what extent does Barthes’ semiotic model hold potential for application in this study? 2. How are reduplicative slang expressions widely used in everyday American life? 3. To what extent do qualitative and quantitative methods hav

Discourse Deixis in the American Political Speeches
...Show More Authors

 The feature that prevails in spoken political discourse - especially with regards to the fact
that it is otherwise used in the written one - is relatively high degree of formality. It is then just
logical that formality is usually accompanied with more polite forms and higher degree of
impersonality. Such discourse is characterized by the choice of specific vocabulary and syntactic
structures as well. However, there are some tendencies to bring political speech nearer to the
everyday discourse and that is why political speeches have been becoming more informal and
personal. Like any other types of discourse, the American political speeches are loaded with
deictic expressions that form an essential complementary

Adapting the Grimms: Going Against Patriarchy in Singh’s Movie Mirror Mirror
...Show More Authors

Many cinematic adaptations were produced for the Grimms’ “Little Snow-White” (1812) including Mirror Mirror movie (2012), the contemporary version adapted by Taresm Singh. Singh’s version was able to depict the modern reality of women and went against patriarchy by embracing feminist ideologies of the fourth-wave feminism. Therefore, he challenged the ideologies of the mainstream cinema dominated by the patriarchal élite’s capitalist mode of production that still adhere to the stereotyped patriarchal image of women’s ‘victimization,’ ‘objectification’ and ‘marginalization,’ which did not represent women’s modern reality anymore. This paper, however, is a qualitative study aimed to prove that the femini

Ideological Polarization as a Deception Strategy in the Discourse of American Think Tanks: A Critical Discourse Analysis
...Show More Authors

Deception is an inseparable facet of political discourse in attaining strategic political gains though compromising public opinion. However, the employment of discursive deception strategies by the policy-making institutions of think tanks has not received due attention in the literature. The current study aims at exploring how the ideologizing deception strategies are utilized by the conservative American think tank of the Washington Institute to reproduce socio-political realities and re-shape public opinion. To fulfill this task, van Dijk’s (2000) notion of ideological polarization which shows positive self-representation and negative other representation is adopted to conduct a critical discourse analysis of four Arabic texts relea
