Abstract
"Bruno" is a documentary based on a gay Austrian fashion journalist and his attempt at becoming famous in the fashion industry. This paper looks at how "Bruno" crosses the intersectionality of race, gender and sexuality and how different audience members can perceive certain messages differently. In particular, the paper discusses how in order to decode the messages or images, the audience need to incorporate their own life experiences into the situation and how "Bruno" reinforces certain stereotypes about homosexuals and black people, which could be very offensive to those audience members who are marginalized.

From the Paper
"Encoding and decoding as part of cultural studies text has taught that decoding "has the possibility of creating different meanings than those consciously encoded through the production of media texts"(Marsan, 2). It is a useful model to understand how certain situations or cultural products can be evoked with different reactions. In the trailer, Bruno doesn't adhere to the norm by the way that he dresses. For example, in one scene where Bruno attends military camp, he dresses in an army outfit with a scarf and a D&G belt. The captain asks him "What is D&G?" and he responds "Dolce and Gabbana, hello?" I perceived the message as gay men know how to dress and must accessorize their outfits. It also sent out a message that straight men aren't into the commodity fetishism of branded goods unlike homosexual men. "

Abstract
This paper takes a look a the life of Giordano Bruno, who lived in Italy during the 16th century. The paper reports that he was trained as a priest, later left the Dominican order but was also a philosopher, an astronomer, and an oculist. He is famous mainly because the Catholic Church burned him at stake as a heretic for his radical ideas. According to the paper, for many he stands as the sufferer for the cause of free thought.

Abstract
Dr. Berkelium visited the kibbutzim in Israel during 1964, and reported on the state of children's development. The paper looks at the definition of a kibbutz and discusses the ways in which this system of living affected the lives of the children. The writer juxtaposes the work of Berkelium with a critical piece entitled "Children of the Kibbutz".

From the Paper
"Methodologically, Dr. Bettelheim admits that the book displays severe weaknesses. Due to time constraints, he was able to visit only a very limited number of kibbutzim, spending most of his time at just one large institution. He was also unable to speak Hebrew, so that much of the material either had to be gathered through an interpreter or was delivered in the respondent's second language. However, despite all of these limitations, the reader does get a clear and detailed picture of kibbutz life for the younger generation, both the positive and negative aspects."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to discuss, analyze and critique the book, "Freud & Man's Soul" by Bruno Bettelheim.

This is a very interesting book, which is probably familiar to philosophers but not to medical practitioners of psychoanalysis. In this book, the author, Bruno Bettelheim, noted educator and child psychologist, discusses the humanistic side of Freud's teaching, which has not been available to Americans, (according to the author), because of the mistranslations which have been made of his works. Bettelheim believes that Freud's technique of psychoanalysis was never meant to be a medical treatment, but an investigation into our own souls (4). Freud believed that the soul of man could become aware of itself--not an easy undertaking--through his methods.

The author believes that the biggest shortcoming of the ... "

Abstract
This paper compares the attitudes of philosophers Peter Winch and Bruno Latour to the study of the sciences - natural vs. social. Each philosopher published works on the topic and these are analyzed.

From the paper:

"What is natural and what is social in the sciences? Is there a divide between the two, where the natural sciences operate in the realm of objectivity, while the social sciences are a philosophic construction of man? There is a very old dispute in the social sciences about whether social inquiry is ?natural? or not. Naturalists hold that the methods of the natural sciences should be used by social scientists, to explain and predict human behavior, just as we explain and predict phenomena like mass and velocity? Or is social inquiry a separate endeavor that is essentially interpretive and philosophical?"

Abstract
In this paper, the author focuses on two scenes from "The Bicycle Thief:" The restaurant scene and the final scene in which Antonio attempts to steal a bicycle. By focusing on these scenes, Bruno's role in the film as an ethical counterpoint to Antonio is made clear.

From the Paper
"In Victor de Sica's The Bicycle Thief (1948), the main character is Antonio, a working-class Italian living in Rome after the end of WWII and trying to support his family. However, equally important to the story is Antonio's son, Bruno. Throughout the film, there are many events, but it is through Bruno and the relationship between him and his father that they are given value and meaning. In some ways, de Sica uses Bruno as a "barometer of the condition of Antonio's spirit as he pursues his agonizing search for the lost bicycle (http://www.enl.umassd.edu/InteractiveCourse/Ethompson/bicyclethieves.html).""

Abstract
This paper is an essay that describes the seven essential lessons of entrepreneurship as defined by Bruno Gideon. The paper will subsequently apply these lessons to Tom Szaky and his new start-up venture, TerraCycle. As an added note, part of the description of the seven lessons will include a detailed example for each of the seven. Ultimately, the paper will highlight the steps that Tom should take given the examples provided and argues that he can do worse than follow closely Bruno Gideon's seven lessons for enduring success.

Abstract
The paper juxtaposes Bruno Latour and Larry Woolgar's "Laboratory Life" with Toni Morrison's novel "Beloved" to highlight these books' methods of knowledge gathering, synthesis, or creation. The paper discusses the scientific research in "Laboratory Life" and the mythical, supernatural epistemology of "Beloved" and shows how while both yield knowledge about the world, we cannot know which knowledge is "truer" or "more superior" to the other. The paper therefore comes to the conclusion that the epistemology of each narrative is incommensurable with the other.

Laboratory Life
Beloved
Epistemological Issues of the Texts

From the Paper
"Laboratory Life is an ethnographic account of a neurobiology laboratory in California. In the first chapters, Latour and Woolgar describe the daily activities of the scientists using the lens of an anthropologist, using "the same cold and unblinking eye with which cells, or hormones, or chemical reactions are studied" (Latour and Woolgar, 12). In other words, Laboratory Life details scientific activities in the same way that an anthropologist describes the activities of a tribe in Papua New Guinea.
"In Latour and Woolgar's observations, scientists produce facts by literary inscription, which is the material process by which scientists turn physical matter into "data", and finally into a "fact," or a sentence published in a journal (Latour and Woolgar, 45-53). For example, lab technicians extract liquids from rats' brains, and load the extracted liquid into various machines that produce a paper printout. This printout is "data", and the scientists interpret this data through discussions, letters, and phone calls. After interpreting the data, scientists write a paper that is published in a journal (Latour and Woolgar, 105-151)."

This paper will discuss Bruno Taut's 'The Glass Pavilion' of 1914 and Antonio Sant'Elia's 'Citta Nuova' of 1914. By discussing these great buildings, we can see how their creators envisioned the future of architecture.

Abstract
In the second half of the twentieth century Bruno Bettelheim came to be known as an expert in the field of child psychology. This paper examines how before his suicide in 1990 he made groundbreaking strides in the treatment and understanding of emotionally disturbed and autistic children. It looks at how in his book, "The Informed Heart", which is part memoir and part analysis, Bettelheim takes a close look at what the psychological aspects of being a holocaust survivor as well as how they factored into the lives of those imprisoned.
