"INTRODUCTION
Rainer Werner Fassbinder was one of the most prominent and most prolific of the filmmakers of the New German Cinema, a revival of the once-vital German film industry after the first version had been destroyed by World War II. There were films made in Germany in the interim, but they were films associated with American companies or British companies and were primarily programmers, imitations of American melodramas, horror pictures, British mysteries, and the like. A serious German cinema simply did not exist in any degree that could capture the attention of the world market. In the 1960s, young filmmakers felt the need for a change and issued the Oberhausen Manifesto, generally regarded as the beginning of the New German Cinema, though of the 26 signatories only one, Alexander Kluge, would later achieve ..."

From the Paper
"Rainer Werner Fassbinder was one of the most prominent and most prolific of the filmmakers of the New German Cinema, a revival of the once-vital German film industry after the first version had been destroyed by World War II. His films addressed social issues in a way that helped open the cinema to new examinations of homosexuality, feminism, and similar concerns. From his earliest works, Fassbinder's writing and directing were intensely personal statements, and a sense of desperate loneliness, clearly derived from his childhood, infuses much of his work.
Films were made in Germany after World War II, but they were films associated with American companies or British companies and were primarily programmers, imitations of American melodramas, horror pictures, or British mysteries. A serious German cinema ..."

Suturing and Other Narrative Practices in Film, 2001.
This paper defines and describes the many definitions of suturing in films and examines certain narrative practices.

Abstract
This paper studies the concept of suturing which is defined in many different ways such as sewing something back together, gesture or pseudo-identification, the individual watching a film as a stand-in for the camera and more. It looks at the filmmaker Ranier Werner Fassbinder?s work 'Despair' as an example of a film that attempts to undercut notions of the gazer of the film becoming sutured into the web of the film and of becoming socially subjected to the predetermined constructions of reality within the film?s text. Finally, it concludes that the destabilizing of a master narrative with the particularity of autobiography is better than the complicated suturing.
From the Paper
"On a very literal level, to suture something is to sew something back together, usually imperfectly, usually with a substance that is alien to the body that is being altered?such as the doctor?s suturing thread that stitches together an open wound. On a semiotic level, according to Jacques-Alain Miller, Miller's definition of suture (in a nutshell) is that the suturing process in culture is the process through which a subject is joined into the signifying chain of culture, allowing a signifier to stand-in for the subject's absence in discourse. (Suture as a Laconian Concept) "

Film and Society, 2005.

Abstract
This paper analyzes three directors, Douglass Sirk, R.W. Fassbinder and Todd Haynes and their respective films. The paper looks at the combined effects of these films as a social critique of 1950's small town America to provide insights or social commentary into the era.
From the Paper
"Film can play a significant role in the ways which society can twist and look inwardly upon itself. At times, it is only in art, through being shown these images of ourselves, that we can fully see ourselves. Many artists, novelists, philosophers and literary critics, among others, have attempted to hold up this mirror to society. Most recently, films have added themselves to this growing list. In film, often directors approach this relationship between movies and society, and critique the functions of our social reality through film. The directors Douglass Sirk, and the film All That Heaven Allows, R.W. Fassbinder and the film Fear Eats the Soul and Todd Haynes in his Far From Heaven all utilize the genre of the melodrama to incorporate social critique into their views of 1950's suburban America. Sirk, Fassbinder and Haynes all have aspects of this social critique in..."

Comparison of Two Ethnographies, 2004.
Compares the two works of anthropologists Jody Glittenberg and Dennis Werner.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Two anthropologists present their ethnographic studies in their books, "Amazon Journey", by Dennis Werner, and "To the Mountain and Back", by Jody Glittenberg. The paper explains how the two show different interests, have different methods, and come to different conclusions about the subjects they study. The paper discusses how Werner describes the Amazonian Indians, while Glittenberg presents her study on the native tribes of Guatemala, especially the Ladino and the Cakchiquel Mayan Indian.
From the Paper
"Both ethnologists enter the society and observe, but Glittenberg makes herself more of a participant than does Werner, raising the question of how much her participation affected the subjects and so how much her own involvement in the culture changed what she was observing even as she observed it. Werner was also in the culture he observed, but he observed more than participated, observing to such an extent that he did not even want to hear stories directly from the source. Glittenberg is open about this, even asking certain questions at the outset about how much one can learn by observing. She says that fieldworkers give a general description of a culture, while what she wants to know is answers to questions about family formation."

Orpheus According to Rilke, 2008.
An analysis of Rainer Maria Rilke's life and his poem "Sonnets to Orpheus".
1,985 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 63.95
»

Abstract
This paper examines how by the time he wrote "Sonnets to Orpheus", Rainer Maria Rilke was at once the most classically informed and innovative modern writer of his generation. It discusses how, unembarrassed by precursors, using them to his advantage, he stood apart from his immediate experimental contemporaries and created a modernism at once unique, cyclical, and enduring. It examines how Rilke's "Sonnets to Orpheus", prompted by the death of a young woman, Vera Oukama Koop, is an occasion of perfectly crafted poems, which Rilke shaped and misshaped in every possible way to suit the few days of their compelling creation.
Outline:
Historical Background of Rilke
Rilke's Interpretation of the Greek Myth Orpheus
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The inspiration for Rilke's Sonnets is twofold. First of all, it is grateful to the Orpheus legend an illustration of which hung in the Chateau de Muzot, where Rilke was staying in February 1922 when the series was written. Equally importantly, it was occasioned by the untimely death in youth of Vera Duckama Knoop( a daughter of a friend of Rilke's), to whom the sonnests are dedicated.(1958: 185). One can infer then that Rilke takes the task upon himself, as Orpheus did for Eurydice, of establishing a relation to the mysteriousness of the other side, which Rilke claims, in a letter about the Sonnets, the dead girl symbolizes. In a commentary Rilke writes that the Sonnets are placed under the name and protection of the dead girl whose incompletion and innocence holds open the door of the grave, so that she, gone from us, belongs to those powers who keep the half of life fresh and open towards the other wound-open half(1972: 136).

Modernism in Theory and Practice, 2000.
An application of Clement Greenberg's definition of modernism to one modernist, Jackson Pollock's "Alchemy" and one post-modernist work, Arnulf Rainer's "Face Farces".

From the Paper
"This study will examine Clement Greenberg's definition of modernism (as expressed in Theories and Documents of Contemporary Art, edited by Kristine Stiles and Peter Selz) and will then apply those statements to an analysis of one modernist and one non/anti- or post-modernist work of art, including statements by the artists themselves which will shed light on the nature of modernism, particularly as a theory of the teleology of art. The modernist work selected is Jackson Pollock's "Alchemy" (1947) and the anti-or post-modernist work is Arnulf Rainer's "Face Farces" (1969). Despite the fact that only twenty-two years separate the two works of art, a great chasm of intention and perception on the part of the artists separates the essence of the works."
Greenberg writes that
The essence of modernism lies . . . in the use of the

The Book of Church Growth, 2002.

Abstract
This paper explores and analyzes the quality of the book through the use of concrete examples. The writer assumes the reader has read the book and concentrates more on a critical analysis than a book summary.
From the Paper
"Rainer uses this format to explore both the history of the church but also the various important building points in which a church can work to expand its membership. The author uses many methods by which to illustrate his point and works to use his chapters to lead the reader from one area into another with a minimal amount of distraction.
Starting with the church history Rainer reminds the reader of the Christian growth movement that seemed to take hold in the 1950s and continued to the 1970?s with little reduction. At this point he discusses the stall that seemed to occur and the recovery from that stall. Part two of the book is the meat of the discussion because the author explains the church growth from every conceivable angle possible."

Abstract
This writer sees the world changing in part due to extreme temperature changes. The writer points out that anyone up to date and paying attention can see the ongoing degradation of animal habitat and the ongoing loss of plant and animal species; there are the realities of deforestation, desertification, and it appears there are increasingly high-powered natural events like hurricanes caused by climate change that are disrupting human lives. The approach for this paper is to review existing research in scholarly journals that embrace issues and ideas - along with attitudes and emotions - relevant to eco-psychology and humans interacting in changing ways to the changing planet. In conclusion, the responsibility for educating people of all ages falls on schools, communities, political leaders, and mostly importantly, it falls on the shoulders of families. The writer maintains that more families should turn the television off and have discussions about what is being written in magazines, newspapers, and other publications about the fragile condition this earth is truly in at this moment in history.

Article Five:Attitudes to Environmental Education in Poland - Kobierska, Hanna, Tarabula-Fietak, Marta, & Grodzinska-Jurczak
Summary of Articles
From the Paper
"It is encouraging to know that so many young people are becoming aware of the challenges of global warming, and of the need to preserve what is left of the natural world. But it is somewhat troubling to learn that only a small portion of people (those with education and who are well-employed) are thinking about the future in a big-picture framework. The fact that most kids in Poland get their environmental information from television and not from home is also troubling; and knowing that attitudes about the wilderness are not significantly altered when young people go into the woods on overnights is worrisome. Overall it would appear there is much work to be done when it comes to educating people (young and old) about the ramifications of climate change."

Abstract
This paper summarizes and examines the content of David Werner's article "Globalization Contributes to Harmful Tobacco Use Worldwide." The writer of this paper explores and clearly illustrates both sides of the issue while also attempting to prove the argument that worldwide globalization does in fact increase tobacco usage among specific demographic groups.
From the Paper
"It is widely assumed by a number of people in the world that the globalization of the world's economy is not only something that is best for everyone but that nothing can stop it from happening either. As David Werner points out in his article "Globalization Contributes to Harmful Tobacco Use Worldwide," whether or not globalization is good for everyone is debatable."

Abstract
The paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the benefits, costs and challenges of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the euro. Included is a critical assessment of past policies and proposals to remedy the current or potential future problems.
From the paper:
? In 1969, the European summit at The Hague made EMU an official objective. In 1970, the Werner report proposed a plan that would unite the economies and monies of Europe over a ten-year period. However, the plan was tabled because of several economic factors, including the oil shortage, weakness of the U.S. dollar, and divergent economic policies around the world. The plan resurfaced in 1979 when the European Monetary System (EMS) was created.?

Abstract
This paper provides a summary and discussion on nine books, which cover the subject of evangelism, especially in America, and the need to expand the concept of Christianity, both spiritually and physically.
The nine books discussed are:
"Building Contagious Church: Revolutionizing the Way we View and do Evangelism" by Mark Mittelberg
"Values-Driven Leadership: Discovering and Developing Your Core Values for Ministry" by Aubrey Malphurs
"Evangelism Outside the Box: New Ways to Help People Experience the Good News" by Rick Richardson
"The Connecting Church: Beyond Small Groups to Authentic Community" by Randy Frazee
"The Church of Irresistible Influence" by Robert Lewis
"Finding Common Ground: How to Communicate With Those Outside the Christian Community?While We Still Can" by Tim Downs
"High Expectations: The Remarkable Secret of Keeping People in Your Church" by Thom S. Rainer
"Learning to Lead Change: A Transformational Journey" by Jim Herrington
"The Purpose-Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?" by Rick Warren
From the Paper
"But Richardson stresses, ?Evangelism is for all of us.? And he goes on to offer suggestions in how to reach people. Understanding the ?modern mindset? of today?s culture is key, and that mindset began, he says, with the philosophers of the Enlightenment (Bacon, Newton, and Descartes). But the post-modern mindset is symbolized in the movie ?Titanic,? and all our worldly possessions can, and do, sink to the bottom, if we are on the wrong track. Hence, evangelism is needed to keep us afloat."
