Ferdinand De Saussure

Ferdinand De Saussure, the swiss linguist who is generally considered to be the founder of modern structural linguistics and therefore the grandfather of structuralism. His ideas went on to lie a foundation for future developements in linguistics.
A few years after Saussure's death in 1913, some of his former students published a book upon notes they had made on his lectures.

A short post just to show my excitement for two films coming out soon.



First Orson Welles and Me - A film I originally heard about months ago, starring Zac Efron and Claire Danes. The film is about a teenager (Efron)that is cast in the Mercury Theatre production of "Julius Ceasar" directed by a young Orson Welles(Christian McKay) in 1937. 25th November 2009






Secondly The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - This film has been publicised a lot, especially around the time that sadly Heath Ledger died. And I for one am extremely excited about seeing Heath's last film, and the role he played being shared between him and his closest friends - Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell. The plot of the film contains the story of a traveling theater company that gives its audience much more than they were expecting. 16th October 2009
