The spaces and places of our world are often divided and parsed out according to what they provide for humans. This may be an intangible, aesthetic provision, like a scenic vista or the presence of wildlife. Or, it could be utilitarian and related to a material and financial value. Humans often find themselves having to make a distinction between environments that we wish to conserve and protect, or freeze, and those that we wish to use and develop. From an urban neighborhood that sits precariously between the old and the new, to a small patch of forest that can be a nature reserve or the site of new homes, there resides a fundamental tension between change and preservation. The two films for this unit, “Night Moves” and “
Kekexili
: Mountain Patrol” document this tension. They show how an environment and the entities in it can be contested as to whether they should be developed or conserved, sometimes with life or death consequences for the parties involved and with pronounced implications for the public. Keep in mind that while we focus in these films on the ecological environment, our environments are also social and cultural.
Riots and protests
have been waged to protect neighborhoods from change and development just as they have been fought over our natural areas. Humans make boundary distinctions that are constantly
shifting due to a constellation of economic, ecological, and social factors.

Malthusianism
“The power of population is so superior to the power of the earth to produce subsistence for man that premature death must in some shape or other visit the human race. “
Thomas Malthus (1798) “Essay on the Principle of Population

Slide28Slide29Comparing Frozen and Cinderella
Duh! Both star womenBoth are from DisneyBoth are animatedOne is new and one is oldBoth are about loveBoth are make believeOne has better songs
More critically astute:
Frozen challenges the portrayal of love and marriage in Disney films by emphasizing sisterly love
Both lead characters are threatened by a sleep or paralysis that can only be overcome through the kindness of others
Both films have a theme of isolation originating from fears about feminine power and conceptions
of beauty
