Gates argues that this surface (ie. visual) realism is used to mask thematic moralizing about masculinity and heroism in an ever-increasing patriotic post-9/11 United States. Contemporary combat films focus on the maturation of feminized boys into masculine heroes through war — soldiers who “do the right thing” when faced with moral dilemmas no matter what their orders.

Spectromorphology [Sound Wiki] MP040197.PDF (application/pdf Object) Blackburn.pdf (application/pdf Object) Spectromorphology. Spectromorphology is the perceived sonic footprint of a sound spectrum as it manifests in time. A descriptive spectromorphological analysis of sound is sometimes used in the analysis of electroacoustic music, especially acousmatic music. The term was coined by Denis Smalley in 1986 and is considered the most adequate English term to designate the field of sound research associated with the French writer, composer, and academic, Pierre Schaeffer. Schaeffer's work at INA/GRM in Paris, beginning in the late 1940s, culminated in the publication of the book Traité des objets musicaux in 1966. Smalley's notion of spectromorphology builds upon Schaeffer's theories relating to the use of a classification system for various categories of sound.[1] Theoretical framework[edit] The theoretical framework of spectro-morphology is articulated mainly in four parts: the typology[disambiguation needed] of the spectramorphologymotionstructuring processes.
