Refimprove date November 2009 See also Formalist filmtheoryStructuralistfilmtheory is a branch of filmtheory that is rooted in Structuralism , itself based on structural linguistics , a now obsolete branch of linguistics. Structuralistfilmtheory emphasizes how film s convey Meaning semiotics meaning through the use of code semiotics code s and conventions not dissimilar to the way languages are used to construct meaning in communication. An example of this is understanding how the simple combination of shots can create an additional idea the blank expression on a person s face, an appetising meal, and then back to the person s face. While nothing in this sequence literally expresses hunger or desire the juxtaposition of the images convey that meaning to the audience. Unraveling this additional meaning can become quite complex. Lighting, angle, shot duration, juxtaposition, cultural context, and a wide array of other elements can actively reinforce or undermine a sequence s meaning.

Structuralist economics originated with the work of the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean Economic Commission for Latin America ECLA or CEPAL and is primarily associated with its director Raul Prebisch and Brazilian economist Celso Furtado . Key to structuralist analysis is the idea that the structural features of developing economies need to be taken into account. Early structuralist models emphasised external and internal disequilibria arising from the productive structure and its interactions with the dependent relationship developing countries had with the developed world. The alleged declining terms of trade of the developing countries, the Prebisch Singer thesis Prebisch Singer hypothesis , played a key role in this. ref Palma, J.G. 1987 . structuralism, The New Palgrave A Dictionary of Economics , v. 4, pp. 527 531. ref Dutt and Ros 2003, p55 argue that structuralist economists try to identify specific rigidities, lags as well as other characteristics of the structure of developing countries in order to assess the way economies adjust and their responsiveness to development policies. A normal assumption within this approach is that the price mechanism fails as an equilibrating mechanism, to deliver steady growth, to produce a desired income distribution. ref Dutt, Amitava Krishna and Ros, Jaime 2003 Development Economics and Structuralist ... component of structural change.

refimprove date September 2010 Marxist filmtheory is one of the oldest forms of filmtheory .

In fact, the Hegelian dialectic was considered best displayed in film editing through the Kuleshov Experiment and the development of Soviet montage theory montage . While this structuralist approach to Marxism and filmmaking was used, the more vociferous complaint that the Russian filmmakers had was with the Literary technique narrative structure of Hollywood filmmaking . Eisenstein s solution was to shun narrative structure by eliminating the individual protagonist and tell stories where the action is moved by the group and the story is told through a clash of one image against the next whether in composition, motion, or idea so that the audience is never lulled into believing that they are watching something that has not been worked over.

Psychoanalytical filmtheory is a school of academic film criticism that developed in the 1970s and 80s, is closely allied with critical theory , and that analyzes films from the perspective of psychoanalysis , generally the works of Jacques Lacan . The film viewer is seen as the subject of a gaze that is largely constructed by the film itself, where what is on screen becomes the object of that subject s desire. The viewing subject may be offered particular identifications usually with a leading male character from which to watch. The theory stresses the subject s longing for a completeness which the film may appear to offer through identification with an image in fact, according to Lacanian theory , identification with the image is never anything but an illusion and the subject is always split simply by virtue of coming into existence.

T theory is a branch of discrete mathematics dealing with analysis of tree graph theory tree s and discrete metric spaces . General history As per Andreas Dress , T theory originated from a question raised by Manfred Eigen , a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry , in the late seventies. He was trying to fit twenty distinct transfer RNA t RNA molecule s of the Escherichia coli E. Coli bacterium into a tree. One of the most important concepts of T theory is the tight span of a metric space. If X is a metric space, the tight span T X of X is, up to isomorphism, the unique minimal injective metric space that contains X . John Isbell was the first to discover the tight span in 1964, which he called the injective envelope . Dress independently constructed the same construct, which he called the tight span. Application areas Phylogenetic analysis, which is used to create phylogenetic tree s. Online algorithm s k server problem k server problem Recent developments Bernd Sturmfels , Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley Berkeley , and Josephine Yu classified six point metrics using T theory.
