Dead-end days: The sacrifice of displaced workers on film

Article Abstract:

A cycle composing of seven contemporary films that either occur during or culminate in tense, hot days and feature standoffs between armed breadwinners and the law, presenting explicit class conflict, informed by tensions over gender and race is analyzed. The stories begin with breadwinner stress, move to territorial conflict as protagonists fight for public space and conclude with the visible injury or death of the protestors by the end of the dead-end day.

The Scream trilogy, "hyperpostmodernism," and the late-nineties teen slasher film

Article Abstract:

The Scream trilogy emerged as the representative texts of both the slasher film and the teen film of the late 1990s, and it had a significant impact on the entertainment industry as a whole. Scream and its sequels are examples of hyperpostmodernism, a distinctive, more advanced form of postmodernism characterized by a heightened, self-conscious degree of intertextual referencing and self-reflexivity.
