From the Paper "These cut-away shots, in addition to telling the story, serve a purpose in the video-making process. Continuity editing, often seen in television and movies to establish fluidity of motion through an entire world, can be seen in some of the shots of people walking toward the store where people are gathering. However, the rest of the video seems to use brief clips consisting of only a few seconds at a time. This process, Carol Vernallis explains, is a music video technique used to keep the video story from overtaking the importance of the song (28). Vernallis explains that the most frequently seen setting for a woman in a music video is a domestic one (82). These videos do not place the singer in such a role; however, some of the dissatisfied women in the second video are seen in this setting."

From the Paper "The character of Bardamu in Celine's novel Journey to the End of the Night takes a spiritual journey in the course of the novel, and the title indicates the direction in which this journey is directed. In the context of the novel, the author holds civilization in a variety of manifestations up to scrutiny and finds it rotten to the core.

Different aspects of Western civilization are represented in the novel, and in each the author shows through Bardamu's experiences how corrupt the system is at heart and how necessary it is to flee from it. The values held up as vital and paramount by the system are values the author does not prize and..."
Abstract In this paper, the author argues that, contrary to what is often assumed, Broadway has become more populist, not less. The author argues that, in spite of the spiraling cost of tickets to Broadway shows, the shows pander to the least demanding, most pedestrian of artistic sensibilities.
From the Paper "It might be logical to surmise that because Broadway ticket prices have reached the dizzying heights of, say, tickets for major league baseball and football's better seats-in the neighborhood of $100 a ticket-the Broadway stage is becoming less populist, pricing theatergoers out of the velveteen seats. However, the opposite is closer to the truth. The higher those ticket prices go, the more populist the Broadway theater becomes."
