Annie Gagiano is a Professor of English at Stellen bosch University, South Africa. She obtained her B .A(Honours), M.A as well a D. Lit from the same university, where she has been teaching in the Department of English for over three decades now (1967). As one of the earliest scholars of African prose fiction, and the twentieth-century English poetry, Gagiano's foray into African writing has become a subject of discourse amongst scholars as her scholarly contributions have equally lent credence to her agitation for a black renaissance.

Envy those University of Minnesota students who have the opportunity to take a class titled "The Old Weird America" from the

Here the author develops a psychoanalytic theory of the movie
, which took the movie as a starting point. Avoids telling about historical context of film production as well as it`s reception.
When McGowan says about the audience he doesn’t mean the empirical spectator, but the one which is expected by movie text himself. Of course none of the movies ignores its historical context as well as context of those who watch it, but neither the context nor the spectator don`t exist out of the movie text.
Every movie, developed esthetically, brings with itself its own context, builds up it`s own spectators, turns to them in specific way. It`s worth to get to know how, by McGowan, Kubrik`s, Spike Lee`s, Michael Mann`s or Fellini`s movies turn to us.
