GarvanNotes

Achievable aims ahead of next meeting:

The mode of address is sound but there needs to more precision and substance around

• the prison as an instrument of colonial power

• How specifically the prison is translated into a media commodity. What happens at the prison (museum)- this suggests a method for other texts.

• of Ireland as a media commodity

What happens here?: 1) Location is decontextualised - but what remains? the semiotics serve a purpose in the context of the film 2) Location substituted the location becomes "the place where X was shot"- it is meta. 3) it engenders further media products such as = city film location tours . New Zealand - lord of the rings- London-Edinburgh, Harry Potter; Northern Ireland Game of Thrones. Real places become references to fictitious places.

How is this different from Joyce and the tower in Dublin? Material relation to history and place.

Places become part of media history.

• more reflection on the semiotics in Paddington; what is being shown; what is it signing?

Achievable aims ahead of next meeting:
