Coffee and cigarettes

Coffee and Cigarettes (2003, USA) by Jim Jarmusch Main Cast: Robert Benigni; Bill Murray; Company: Asmik Ace Entertainment The movie consists of eleven short stories, each involving cigarettes and coffee. In every story coffee stands for solidarity and in each story they chinking coffee cups like one do with alcoholic drinks. Also smoking is despite some conversation about unhealthy smoking depicted very positively and in nearly every story a sign for solidarity. Scene: tobacco male adults cigarettes Transgressive solitary 0:22:38-0:23:05: tobacco Tom stays alone, after Iggy has left the table. He lights another cigarette, trying to hide it. Secret and denial is an important part of ordinary image of addiction. Consequently smoking will be seen here as addiction. Clip: 13

Iggy says that someone has probably forgotten it there. Then Iggy and Tom discuss that they have stopped smoking and how good it is. Now that they have stopped, Tom concludes they can smoke. Both smoke a cigarette and enjoy it very much. On the one hand, there seem to be a real pleasure by smoking. On the other side, there is also the constrain depicted, as Tom and Iggy smoke, although they both agreed how good it is not to smoke. Hence the audience will see it as loss of control and consequently addiction. Clip: 13

A close reading of Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes

Released in 2003, Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes is a compilation of 11 vignettes that follow the conversations between two to three people as they discuss a variety of mostly insignificant subjects

Jim Jarmusch as meta-narrative master

In this article I focus on a trilogy of films of the eighties and nineties of the 20th century ̶ "Mystery Train" (1989), "Night on Earth" (1991) and "Coffee and Cigarettes" (2003) ̶ to highlight a deliberate authorial discourse on narrative cinema and the role of the master enunciator therein. In them narration is not only a way to convey meaning; it is the very meaning that is sought to be conveyed. Perceived as highly fragmentary, these films possess a hidden structural consistency which begs to be discovered, like a well-kept secret. "Mystery Train" is composed of three sets of events that befall three groups of people simultaneously in the American city of Memphis. Although the stories are told consecutively, the film demands that the chronological actions be put together through an operation of time mapping amounting to a process of spaciotemporal reconstruction based both on the constant elements in the three stories and the explicit variations thereof. "Coffee and Cigarettes" is an apparently random series of vignettes composed of people meeting in coffee houses, but in fact it turns out to be a complex pattern of narrative pairings based on disguised similarities (helped along by the non-consecutive order of the pairs). A former graduate in literature, Jarmusch fights spectatorial immersion via an intensification of narrative where beneath the apparent disconnection of the parts lies the well-conceived architecture of the whole.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

A robust and efficient video representation for action recognition

This paper introduces a state-of-the-art video representation and applies it to efficient action recognition and detection. We first propose to improve the popular dense trajectory features by explicit camera motion estimation. More specifically, we extract feature point matches between frames using SURF descriptors and dense optical flow. The matches are used to estimate a homography with RANSAC. To improve the robustness of homography estimation, a human detector is employed to remove outlier matches from the human body as human motion is not constrained by the camera. Trajectories consistent with the homography are considered as due to camera motion, and thus removed. We also use the homography to cancel out camera motion from the optical flow. This results in significant improvement on motion-based HOF and MBH descriptors. We further explore the recent Fisher vector as an alternative feature encoding approach to the standard bag-of-words histogram, and consider different ways to include spatial layout information in these encodings. We present a large and varied set of evaluations, considering (i) classification of short basic actions on six datasets, (ii) localization of such actions in feature-length movies, and (iii) large-scale recognition of complex events. We find that our improved trajectory features significantly outperform previous dense trajectories, and that Fisher vectors are superior to bag-of-words encodings for video recognition tasks. In all three tasks, we show substantial improvements over the state-of-the-art results

ESSAYS ON AGRICULTURAL MARKET AND POLICIES: IMPORTED SHRIMP, ORGANIC COFFEE, AND CIGARETTES IN THE UNITED STATES

This dissertation focuses on topics in areas of agricultural and food policy, international trade, agricultural markets and marketing. The dissertation is structured as three papers. The first paper, Chapter 1, evaluates the impact of agricultural trade policies. Imported shrimp, which comprises nearly ninety percent of all United States shrimp consumption, have become the subject of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations in the past decade. I estimate the import demand for shrimp in the United States from 1999-2014, using the Barten’s synthetic model. I test the hypothesis of possible structural breaks in the import demand introduced by various trade policies: antidumping/countervailing duty investigations and impositions, and import refusals due to safety and environmental issues. Results show that these import-restricting policies have significant effects on the import shrimp demand, indicating that the omission of them would lead to biased estimates. Chapter 2, the second paper, examines how the burden of state cigarette tax is divided between producers/retailers and consumers, by using the Nielsen store-level scanner data on cigarette prices from convenience stores over the period 2011–2012. Cigarette taxes were found more than fully passed through to retail prices on average, suggesting consumers pay excess burden and market power exists in the cigarette industry. Utilizing information on the attributes of cigarette products, we demonstrated that tax incidence varied by brand and package size: pass-through rates for premium brands and carton-packaged cigarettes are higher than those for discount brands and cigarettes in packs, respectively, indicating possibilities of different demand elasticities across product tiers. Chapter 3, the third paper, focuses on identifying the demographic characteristics of households buying organic coffee, by examining the factors that influence the probability that a consumer will buy organic coffee, and which factors affect the amount organic coffee purchased. Using nationally representative household level data from 55,470 households over the period of 2011 to 2013 (Nielsen Homescan), and a censored demand model, we find that economic and demographic factors play a crucial role in the household choice of purchasing organic coffee. Furthermore, households are less sensitive to own-price changes in the case of organic coffee versus conventional coffee
