I don't want to flood everyone's mail with answers to a question
that only I am interested in, but I would like any
suggestions that anyone may have. So please send replies directly
to me. If anyone else wants the replies, I'll pass them on all
together.
THE QUESTION: I'm trying to a add some film to a course I've taught
before on the language and community of science. What I'm looking
for is examples of stereotypes of scientists: the scientist as hero;
the mad, dangerous scientist; the helpless scientist; seekers after
power; scientist as adventurer. I'm especially interested in
examples of the scientist as foolish, childish, and/or in a world
of (inevitably) his own. I will probably not show more than one
or two films in their entirety, but I want to put together a
collection of excerpts since it's the image, not the entire
narrative that I'm interested in for this purpose. So please send
me the names of your favorites and I will be very much obliged.
(Right now I've been thinking of _Back to the Future_ and _Killer
Bats_ [Bela Lugosi]). I know it's an enormous field, but I would
appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks a lot,
-- Don Ulin
