Cinematic Articulation in Motion Graphics
This book develops a critical and theoretical approach to the semiotics of motion pictures as they are applied to a broader range of constructions than traditional commercial narrative productions.This interdisciplinary approach begins with the problems posed by motion perception to develop a model of cinematic interpretation that includes both narrative and non-narrative types of productions.Contrasting traditional theatrical projection and varieties of new media, this book integrates analyses of title sequences, music videos, and visual effects with discussions on classic and avant-garde films.It further explores the intersection between formative audio-visual cues identified by viewers and how viewers’ desires direct engagement with the motion picture to present a framework for understanding cinematic articulation.This new theoretical model incorporates much of what was neglected and gives greater prominence to formerly critical marginal productions by showing the fundamental connections that link all moving imagery and animated text, whether it tells a story or not. This insightful work will appeal to students and academics in film and media studies.

Complicating Articulation in Art Cinema
Complicating Articulation in Art Cinema argues that art cinema draws attention to its disjointed, multi-parted form, but that criticism has too frequently sought to explain this complexity away by stitching the parts together in totalizing readings.This stitching together has often relied on the assumption that the solution to art cinema's puzzles lies in interpreting each film as the expression of a focalizing character's internal disturbance.This book challenges this assumption. It argues that the attempt to explain formal complexity through this character-centric approach reduces formal achievements and enigmatic characters to inadequate approximations of one another.Reference to character cannot fully tame unschematic and unpredictable combinations of - and collisions between - contradictory levels of narration, clashing styles, discontinuously edited shots, jarring allusions, dislocated genre signifiers, and intermedial elements.Through close analyses of films by Roberto Rossellini, Robert Bresson, Luis Buñuel, Terence Davies, Peter Greenaway, and Kelly Reichardt, Complicating Articulation in Art Cinema offers an ethics of criticism that suggests that the politics of art cinema's eccentric form are limited by character-centred readings.Each of the featured films presents inarticulate characters, whose emotional and intellectual lives are unknowable, further complicating the relationship between character and form.This book argues that, by acknowledging this resistance to interpretation, critics can think in new ways about art cinema's interrogation of the possibilities of knowledge.

The Moment of Speech : Creative Articulation for Actors
Annie Morrison, creator of the Morrison Bone Prop, abandons the notion that language and thought are mainly processed in the left cerebral hemisphere, and coaches the actor to speak from the heart.Through this method, words acquire physical properties, such as weight, texture, colour and kinetic force. Think about Martin Luther King, Mao Zedong or Malala Yousafzai; potent speech impacts external events. And internally, it forms and shapes the world of the speaker.Seeing articulation as a purely mechanical skill is detrimental to an actor's process: it is crucial to understand what language is doing on a biological level. This workbook is invaluable for actors, both professional and in training, and also for voice and speech teachers.

What is articulation ability?
Articulation ability refers to an individual's capacity to produce speech sounds accurately and effectively. It involves the coordination of the articulators, such as the tongue, lips, and vocal cords, to produce clear and intelligible speech. Good articulation ability is important for effective communication and can impact a person's overall speech intelligibility and confidence in social and professional settings. Articulation ability can be influenced by factors such as physical development, motor coordination, and language skills.
-
How can I improve my articulation?
Improving articulation can be achieved through regular practice and exercises. One effective method is to practice tongue twisters and vocal warm-up exercises to improve clarity and precision in speech. Additionally, focusing on proper breathing techniques and enunciating each syllable clearly can also help improve articulation. Finally, seeking feedback from others and actively listening to your own speech can help identify areas for improvement and track progress.

Can my eloquent articulation drastically alienate people?
While eloquent articulation can be impressive and persuasive, it can also potentially alienate people if it comes across as condescending or pretentious. It's important to be mindful of the audience and to communicate in a way that is relatable and respectful. Using language that is inclusive and approachable can help prevent alienating others and instead foster understanding and connection. Ultimately, effective communication involves not only the words we use, but also the tone, body language, and empathy we convey.
-
Is good articulation the most important thing?
Good articulation is important for effective communication, but it is not the most important thing. Other factors such as clarity of thought, content, and delivery also play crucial roles in effective communication. Good articulation can enhance the delivery of a message, but it is not the sole determinant of effective communication. Therefore, while good articulation is important, it is not the most important thing in communication.

Sound Writing : Experimental Modernism and the Poetics of Articulation
Considers the avant-garde rethinking of poetic language in terms of physical speech production. Avant-garde writers and artists of the twentieth century radically reconceived poetic language, appropriating scientific theories and techniques as they turned their attention to the physical process of spoken language.This modernist “sound writing” focused on the bodily production of speech, which it rendered in poetic, legible, graphic form. Modernist sound writing aims to capture the acoustic phenomenon of vocal articulation by graphic means.Tobias Wilke considers sound writing from its inception in nineteenth-century disciplines like physiology and experimental phonetics, following its role in the aesthetic practices of the interwar avant-garde and through to its reemergence in the postwar period.These projects work with the possibility of crossing over from the audible to the visible, from speech to notation, from body to trace.Employing various techniques and concepts, this search for new possibilities played a central role in the transformation of poetry into a site of radical linguistic experimentation.Considering the works of writers and artists—including Raoul Hausmann, Kurt Schwitters, Viktor Shklovsky, Hugo Ball, Charles Olson, and Marshall McLuhan—Wilke offers a fresh look at the history of the twentieth-century avant-garde.

Ecologies of Bronze Age Rock Art : Organisation, Design and Articulation of Petroglyphs in Eastern-central Sweden
The Bronze Age (1700–500 BCE) petroglyphs of southern Scandinavia comprise a unique tradition of rock art in northern Eurasia.Despite a limited repertoire of motifs such as cupmarks, boats, anthropomorphs, zoomorphs, podomorphs and circles, it shows great variability in design, elaboration and articulation.This book is a study of the Mälaren region in southern-central Sweden that includes one of the most prominent rock art clusters of southwest Uppland as well as the hinterland of Södermanland county.The rock art in this region is studied on three scales: regional, local and particular.This allows for comparisons between dense and small sites, an exploration of how the Bronze Age rock art tradition developed over time in the area, and equally how the design and articulation of certain motifs relate to contemporary settlements, waterways and varying environmental settings. Patterns and structures in the distribution and articulation of the petroglyphs show that the different motifs are not only visual expressions but very much material enactments.The motifs often physically relate to each other, the flows of water, and the microtopography and mineral contents of the rocks.The study is therefore not as much about rock art as images and symbols as it is about the ecology of rock art – the web of social and physical relations in which it was enacted and employed.From this perspective, the petroglyphs are seen as petrofacts, that is something akin to tools or devices articulated in various ways to affect humans, other-than-humans and the animacies of the coastal milieus where they were made.

What are pronunciation problems and articulation problems?
Pronunciation problems refer to difficulties in producing the sounds of a language accurately, which can result in miscommunication or difficulty being understood by others. This can include issues with specific sounds, stress patterns, or intonation. Articulation problems, on the other hand, specifically refer to difficulties in physically producing the individual speech sounds, such as substituting one sound for another, omitting sounds, or distorting sounds. Both pronunciation and articulation problems can impact an individual's ability to effectively communicate in a language.
