Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Film und Fernsehen, Note: 1,0, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Filme gehören zu den wichtigsten Medien der heutigen Zeit. Schon immer weisen sie auf gesellschaftliche Trends und Normen hin. Modeerscheinungen, wie welche aktuellen oder historischen Themen die Gesellschaft beschäftigen, welche technischen Mittel eingesetzt werden, wie sich die Personen kleiden oder die Szenerie ausgestattet ist, spiegeln dabei den jeweiligen Zeitgeist wider. Eines der komplexen Probleme der letzten Jahrzehnte – angesichts Klimawandel, Umweltverschmutzung und Artensterben – ist der Naturschutz. Zuneh-mend befassen sich auch die Medien mit dieser Thematik. Ecocriticism (wenig gebräuchlich: Ökokritik) beschäftigt sich mit der Sprache und Darstellung der Natur in der Literatur und mittlerweile auch in weiteren Medien, wie Filmen. Im Fol-genden beschäftigt sich diese Arbeit mit den Fragen, auf welche Weise die Natur im dystopi-schen Science Fiction-Film abgebildet wird, welche Wertvorstellungen verständlich gemacht werden sollen, welche Konflikte bei gegensätzlichen Normen auftreten können und wie hoch die Wirksamkeit der ökopolitischen Botschaft im Film in Bezug auf die Gesellschaft ausfällt. Exemplarisch soll hier der Fokus insbesondere auf den Film Avatar – Aufbruch nach Pandora (2009) vom Regisseur James Cameron gelegt werden. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich in einer interdisziplinären Herangehensweise mit den Fragen, auf welche Weise die Natur im dystopischen Science Fiction-Film abgebildet wird, welche Wertvorstellungen verständlich gemacht werden sollen, welche Konflikte bei gegensätzlichen Normen auftreten können und wie hoch die Wirksamkeit der ökopolitischen Botschaft im Film in Bezug auf die Gesellschaft ausfällt. Exemplarisch soll hier der Fokus insbesondere auf den Film "Avatar – Aufbruch nach Pandora" (2009) vom Regisseur James Cameron gelegt werden.

A field guide to Pandora—the mesmerizing world of James Cameron's Avatar. Four years in the making—and 15 years since its conception—Avatar is a live action film with a new generation of special effects, delivering a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story. In Avatar: A Confidential Report on the Biological and Social History of Pandora we are introduced to Pandora—a pristine and beautiful moon in a distant solar system—its exotic ecosystems, and the indigenous race called the Na'vi. By piecing together photographs, scientific field notes, and research data, citizens on Earth have collected the information in this field guide as a way to highlight the lessons Pandora can teach the people of Earth, who have struggled to survive as their planet's critical resources are depleted. Though Pandora has proven to be an exceedingly profitable source of natural resources, the environment—from its gravity-defying floating mountains to the small but venomous hellfire wasps and the gigantic carnivorous thanator—poses continual dangers to RDA. Catalogued with unparalleled precision and access, this field guide provides highly detailed descriptions of the unique creatures and plants found on Pandora, the culture, language, and physiology of the native population, as well as RDA technology and weapons. Eager to save the Earth, the activists have culled this information in hopes to expose the corporate greed and disregard for the native inhabitants and their environment that governs RDA's presence on the foreign moon. This is the evidence in their case to save Pandora—and themselves.

Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Ruhr-University of Bochum, language: English, abstract: This paper is meant to depict in which ways popular culture is dealing with ecocritic questions and motifs of anthropocentrism. ‘Avatar’ by James Cameron has been chosen as an object of investigation, since it is a piece of popular culture which has attained a massive popularity at the end of the previous decade. It can therefore be seen as a rather modern representation of our society, keeping in mind that the movie has met a greatly positive resonance within a worldwide audience, occupying the first position in the box-office index ‘Top 100 – Films of all time worldwide gross’ and has obtained 73 awards and another 148 nominations. The environmental message behind it can easily be assumed by the average spectator and has also been discussed by Cameron himself during several interviews, but this essay plans on further analyzing the different motifs used in this work which contribute to this perception, regarding elements of ecocriticism and representations of anthropocentrism within the story and its realization. The plan is to have a look at articles published by popular magazines dealing with the perception and potential messages behind the movie and to do an ecocritical reading of the movie with these perceptions in mind. On the one hand, the movie has enjoyed an overall positive resonance and high rankings by movie critics. One could argue that the underlying environmental message has raised awareness for the preciousness and vulnerability of the world we live in, which can be seen in the amount of environmental discussions evoked by the film and its plenty reviews dealing with the intended message behind the story. Manola Dargis has argued that “with blue people and pink blooms he [Cameron] has confirmed its [cinema’s] wonder”, other critics such as Michael Graham Richard have called it a “Big Movie with Big Environmental themes” and noted that “it's pretty obvious that the movie has an important green theme”. Usually, movies and other literary works conveying “big themes” do not gain positive resonance only, and that is what the paper is interested in.

In the blockbuster film Avatar, science fiction and the technological prowess of director James Cameron meet in a heady concoction that, while visually ravishing, could easily be dismissed as "eye candy." While critics most frequently acclaimed its breakthrough 3-D technology, close scrutiny of the film raises provocative questions about the relationship between mind and body, appearance and reality. It brings into focus the relationships of humans to their technology, their planet, and each other and highlights the nature and potential of film itself. This work explores the theoretical and philosophical issues brought to bear in Avatar, exploring the spaces between human and machine; technology and nature; chick flick and action-adventure; and old-fashioned storytelling and cutting-edge technology. Central to the book's analysis is an examination of the extent to which Avatar melds the seer and the seen, illuminating an alternative visual paradigm.

Audiences around the world have been enchanted by James Cameron's visionary Avatar, with its glimpse of the Na'vi on the marvelous world of Pandora. But the movie is not entirely a fantasy; there is a scientific rationale for much of what we saw on the screen, from the possibility of travel to other worlds, to the life forms seen on screen and the ecological and cybernetic concepts that underpin the 'neural networks' in which the Na'vi and their sacred trees are joined, as well as to the mind-linking to the avatars themselves. From popular science journalist and acclaimed science fiction author Stephen Baxter, The Science of Avatar is a guide to the rigorous fact behind the fiction. It will enhance the readers' enjoyment of the movie experience by drawing them further into its imagined world.

Director of The Terminator, Aliens and Titanic, James Cameron's latest movie, Avatar, is the most viewed cinema release of all time, yet to date receives little academic attention. Filling the gap, editor of www.DeepFocusFilm.com, Bryn V. Young-Roberts, researches Avatar's historical and cultural relevance with its first in-depth examination while simultaneously discussing the Cameron oeuvre. From the perspective of historical contextualisation and cultural analysis we decipher its socially significant subtext, encouraging a view that Avatar is not exclusively a generic entertainment spectacle. Providing foundations for future studies, we examine the film as metaphor for the Iraq War, advocator of the Internet as liberation tool, and political stance to the Bush administration. Fear of the industrial-military complex, and romantic ideals of Class are also analysed. Ultimately, the volume summarizes Avatar in relation to Cameron's other work and how it fits into our larger, contemporary society.
