Week 3 - Tutorial Task

Greetings!

What was Stephen Stockwell's first article in an academic journal? What year? Provide a full citation. What database did you use?

Using Griffith University Library I searched for articles written by Stephen Stockwell, and found the earliest article published which was in February 1981. This led me to HeinOnline Law Journal Library.

Stockwell, S, 1981, ‘Kuranda Police Shooting’, Legal Service Bulletin, vol. 6, no. 1, pp. 48–49, viewed 10 August 2011.

In which comic did Governor Slugwell appear? Which Issues? Give their full citation for the earliest. Where did you find this information? What database did you use? (Check the trial databases)

Governor Slugwell appeared in three Flaming Carrot issues. Using Underground and Independent Comic, I discovered that Governor Slugwell was a character from the comic and that he appeared in issues 7, 10 and 11.

In Bladerunner, what is Leon's reaction when Holden asks him about his mother? Quote the 1982 draft script and provide a full reference. (Check the trial databases)

He shoots him.

HOLDEN

Describe in single words. Only the good things that come into your mind. About your mother.

LEON

My...

Leon looks shocked, surprised. But the needles in the computer barely move. Holden goes for the inside of his coat. But big Leon is faster. His laser burns a hole the size of a nickel through Holden's stomach. Unlike a bullet, a laser causes no impact. It goes through Holden's shoulder and comes out of his back, clean as a whistle. Like a rag doll he falls back into the seat. Big slow Leon is already walking away, but he stops, turns, and with a little smile of satisfaction fires through the back of the seat.

What does Paul Soukup say Walter Ong saw as the main paradox in 20th century communication? Cite your source.

“that a society given so much to the use of diagrams and to the maneuvering objects in space, should at the same time develop means of communication which specialize not in sight but in sound”
