Introduction
There was a dreadful confusion of expectations and I never knew what was going to happen next, because of the confusion. It was both an enriching and a devastating experience, and in many ways it was an affair with Japan itself. (Angela Carter, qtd. in Bell 27) Since her premature death in 1992, Angela Carter has become recognized as one of the most important writers in the English language, with numerous edited collections, theater adaptations, …

From the ‘hegemony of the eye’ to the ‘hierarchy of perception’
Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven (1978) has been hailed as ‘one of the most beautiful films ever made’, but the film's immense cinematic beauty has detracted from the impact of its experimental soundtrack. Drawing on interview material with editor Billy Weber (who worked on all three of Malick's films), the original screenplay of Days of Heaven and detailed sequence analysis, the paper examines the film's manipulation of the traditional relations…
