Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom as a 21st-Century Gothic Tale
This paper considers Juan Antonio Bayona’s 2018 film Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom as a Gothic film which disrupts the archetypal conventions of monster films, especially in relation to the antispeciesist conception of monsters —in this case, the genetically-engineered dinosaurs which feature in the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World sagas. Through an analysis of its cinematography, character construction, scenarios and plot development in the light of Gothic Studies, I will argue that this film is not just Gothic in appearance, but also in the sense that it breaks with contemporary anthropocentric conventions of normalcy, unity and species boundaries, and that it confirms the trend in filmic narratives that takes into account the monsters’ perspectives in order to challenge human exceptionalism.

Creating a Cliffhanger
Steven Spielberg's unforgettable and striking set pieces, beginning with his long suspenseful chase sequences in Duel, are successful because they utilize salient mise‐en‐scene and narrational choices to transform a script into a fully realized, well‐made film. This chapter analyzes mise‐en‐scene and narration in a select number of Spielberg's popular Hollywood movies as important and significant works. The Lost World: Jurassic Park is a sequel to Jurassic Park. Both films are based on Michael Crichton novels, and both are scripted by David Koepp. Spielberg's popular blockbusters are entertaining, but they are also serious films when we consider the way they are made. This is because Spielberg demonstrates mastery over the techniques of filmmaking, a mastery based on a sophisticated knowledge of film, its history, plus his acquisition of the very specific practical skill ‐ knowing how to make a film work.

\You´ve never had control. That´s the illusion\. Mimesis of world and catharsis in Jurassic Park
The aim of this article is to explore the cinematic narrative and form of Jurassic Park (Spielberg, 1993), in order to identify its textual topic or central thematic concern. For this a mixed methodology was used, incorporating tools from film analysis into the hermeneutics of poetic possible worlds. First, the article demonstrates how the film's initial four narrative blocks replicate its overall premise on a smaller scale, adapting the central idea to different circumstances. In each case, an external agent intrudes into a system of possibilities, marked by connotations of the unnatural, threatening to destroy that \"world.\" Second, the article outlines the fundamental character traits of those responsible for these unnatural intrusions and how the film portrays the character's cathartic journey. The one who introduces an improper possibility into the system disastrously attempts to emulate a divine creator, manipulating their reality and suppressing dissenting voices. At the same time, this character type is symbolically represented with the worst attributes of childhood: immaturity, irresponsibility, selfishness, and cowardice. The most eloquent image of the purification of this illusion of control is found in the mirrored shot pairs, which initially depict a certain version of reality, only to reveal, in the film's final stretch, the hidden truth behind Hammond's delusional pretensions.

Jaisalmer Golden Limestone: A Heritage Stone Resource from the Desert of Western India
The yellow-colored limestone of Jaisalmer, famous as golden stone, has been extensively used in the architectonic heritage of western India. The architectural heritage, built of this limestone, imparts an exquisite character to Jaisalmer city, which is popularly known as “The Golden City.” The Jaisalmer Fort built using Jaisalmer Limestone, locally referred to as “Sonar Qila” meaning “Golden Fort,” has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Jaisalmer is renowned for architecturally distinctive Jaisalmer Fort, Palace of Maharawal (now Fort Palace Museum), Jain and Lodurva temples, Nathmalji-ki-Haveli, Patwon ki Haveli, Salim Singh ki Haveli, and Bada Bag cenotaphs (burial monuments, locally known as chhatris) constructed using the yellow Jaisalmer Limestone. Besides being used as a major building material, it has found profound usage in inlay work done in many religious places, forts, palaces, and mausoleums built during the reign of Mughals in India from sixteenth century onwards. The Jaisalmer Limestone, also known as yellow limestone, is well exposed around Jaisalmer city. It belongs to the Jaisalmer Formation of the Jurassic age. The Jaisalmer Limestone is hard and compact with low porosity, which has been classified as oolitic to bioclastic grainstone, packstone to wackestone. The yellow limestone, which is the most sought-after variety due to its pleasing color, texture, and aesthetics, is being quarried around the city of Jaisalmer for decades. The yellow limestone is commonly traded as “Yellow Marble.” The common use of the Jaisalmer Limestone includes floor tiles, wall claddings, counter tops, and most importantly as an ornamental stone. The Jaisalmer Limestone is exported to various countries across the Middle East and Europe in the form of slabs, tiles, and handicrafts. The Golden Jaisalmer Limestone’s wide usage in the heritage monuments in India deserves to be promoted on a global scenario. Thus, we propose it to be designated as the “Global Heritage Stone Resource” from India.
