Intro to Landscape Studies The modern age of landscape is an age where social interactions, markets, and developments are routinely channeled by institutions invisible to the ordinary individual. State infrastructure and capital have made immense and irreversible the effects of building, in the form of corridors, monuments and waste, channeling everyday paths and interactions in new space. In the era of modern building, the secrets of landscape are constantly hidden in plain sight. To learn to see the landscape, western writers first had to learn to describe it. Unlike studies of rhetoric, which stretch back through the classical tradition, structural studies of the phenomenology, politics, and psychology of landscape only matured in the nineteenth century, in the era when state intervention began to physically reshape the shape of trade, agriculture, and the city at an unprecedented scale. Psychologists like Georg Simmel and cultural critics like Walter Benjamin imported the science of rhetoric and the close attention to perception, analyzing the everyday spaces around them, and so developed a new science of landscape. This tradition ultimately informed diverse disciplines that took up landscape in the 1940s through 70s, including historical geography, military intelligence, American Studies, environmental psychology, and urban planning. This short film introduces two experiments in the culture of academic publication, both of which deploy digital technologies like screencasting and wikis to help informally share work pursued by landscape scholars in different fields. The Landscape Studies Podcast shares talks given at academic conferences, while the Landsploitation Podcast shares experimental work in photography and film. 11:01

Mad Max 2:The Road Warrior
Mad Max 2 (also known as The Road Warrior in the U.S.) is a 1981 post-apocalyptic science fiction action film. Directed by Australian doctor-turned-director George Miller, this sequel to Miller's 1979 film Mad Max, Mad Max 2 was a worldwide box office hit that launched the lead actor Mel Gibson's career. The film's tale of a community of settlers that have to defend themselves from a roving band of marauders is an archetypal "Western" frontier movie motif, as is Max's role as a hardened man who rediscovers his humanity when he decides to help the settlers.[1]Noteworthy elements of the film include cinematographer Dean Semler's widescreen photography of Australia's vast desert landscapes; the sparing use of dialogue throughout the film, which is almost non-existent during the opening and closing scenes; costume designer Norma Moriceau's punk mohawked, leather bondage gear-clad bikers; and its fast-paced, tightly-edited, and violent battle and chase scenes.The film's comic-book-like post-apocalyptic/punk style popularized the post-apocalyptic genre in film and fiction writing. The film eventually became a cult classic, with fan clubs and "road warrior"-themed activities still occurring in the 2000s. The film was followed by Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985.A brief prologue covers the events preceding the original Mad Max (no backstory was offered in that movie). After uprisings and an extended war due to energy shortages destabilized the country, marauding biker gangs began to terrorize the townspeople in the Australian desert. The crumbling remants of the government created a tiny, underfunded group of special highway patrol officers to try and restore order to the outback. In contrast, in Mad Max 2, there is a much more pronounced breakdown of civilization. In the prologue, a narrator tells us that the world has "crumbled and...the cities have exploded" in a "whirlwind of looting and a firestorm of fear, in which 'men began to feed on men'".Max Rockatansky, the former police officer who sought vengeance against the gang that killed his family in the first film, has now become "a burnt out, desolate" shell of a man. Clad in his dirty and torn leather police uniform, Max roves the desert in his scarred, black, supercharged V-8 Pursuit Special, scavenging for gasoline and food, which has become a precious commodity. He also has a pet dog and a rare functioning firearm-a sawn-off shotgun--but ammunition is scarce.The film begins as Max clashes with some straggling marauders, led by biker warrior Wez (Vernon Wells). After driving off the gang members, Max collects the gasoline from one of their wrecked vehicles and continues on. As Max continues to comb the desert wastelands, he comes upon an seemingly abandoned autogyro and investigates. The autogyro's pilot (actor Bruce Spence) has set a trap with a poisonous snake, but Max and his dog outwit and overpower him. To stay alive, the pilot tells Max about a small working oil refinery out in the wasteland.Encamped on a cliff overlooking the oil refinery, Max watches as a gang of marauders in a motley collection of cars and motorbikes besiege the compound. They are led by a grim and charismatic masked warrior called "Lord Humungous" (Kjell Nilsson), a large, muscular man with a hockey mask over his disfigured face who commands a vicious mob of mohawked degenerates. Although he leads a rag-tag band of biker-berserkers, Humungous' speeches to the settlers exhorting them to surrender are articulate and convincing, he uses his eloquent speeches as psychological warfare and some of the settlers fell for it.When four settlers' vehicles roar out of the refinery, they are chased down by the marauders and the people are raped, robbed and murdered. After the Gyro Captain and Max see the brutal treatment, Max goes down to the wrecked vehicles and slays one rapist-biker. One of the settlers is still clinging to life, and Max strikes a bargain with the man: he will return the badly-wounded man to the refinery compound in exchange for petrol. However, the deal falls through when the man dies following Max's entry into the compound.
