It was as if he was fingering through his years and as he played he began to forget the melodies of all those goodbyes and heartaches, letting his fingers take him where they wanted to – trying to imitate that sound like a river he had just heard.1 But the frenzy whereby virtually anything in the present is appealed to for testimony as to the latter's uniqueness and radical difference from earlier moments of human time does indeed strike one sometimes as harbouring a pathology distinctively autoreferential, as though our utter forgetfulness of the past exhausted itself in the vacant but mesmerized contemplation of a schizophrenic present that is incomparable virtually by definition.2 Neil Jordan è nato a Sligo il 25 febbraio del 1950. Figlio di una pittrice e un insegnante, a sei anni si trasferisce con la famiglia a Dublino, dove frequenta il St. Paul’s College a Clontarf. È un ragazzo vispo, forse anche troppo, rispetto ai ritmi scolastici imposti dai suoi maestri. Jordan si annoiava e spesso preferiva leggere di nascosto autori come Dostoevskij alle lezioni di inglese, procurandosi ammonizioni e aspri rimproveri dal padre. I suoi primi esperimenti di scrittura creativa, più che un inno alla spensieratezza giovanile, soddisfano il desiderio adolescenziale di Jordan di ribellarsi alle tradizioni e alle regole imposte da una 1 Neil Jordan, “Night in Tunisia”, in Id. Night In Tunisia (1976), Londra, The Hogarth Press, 1989, p. 62. 2 Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism, Durham, Duke University Press, 1991, p. xii. ~ 1 ~ generazione, quella del padre, già lontana anni luce. Scrive Sunday Lunch, un racconto dedicato alla noia dei pranzi della domenica. Questo lavoro di tesi prende ispirazione da uno degli autori e registi più importanti del panorama irlandese contemporaneo, in quanto Neil Jordan ha saputo incarnare come pochi lo spirito del cinema postmoderno occidentale. Il suo percorso da scrittore consapevole a regista impegnato pervade ogni opera, edita o meno, creando un universo organico e tangibile, personale ma allo stesso tempo universalmente riconoscibile. Nelle numerose interviste rilasciate nel corso degli anni, Jordan concede spesso uno spaccato di quella che è stata la sua vita prima e dopo aver realizzato che avrebbe potuto occuparsi di cinema e diventare regista: la tradizione letteraria irlandese, per Jordan, è un rassicurante caposaldo della sua cultura ma allo stesso tempo un’ombra minacciosa e soffocante. Continuare a scrivere da romanziere, dunque, non sarebbe mai stato un atto di ribellione: «when I began to make movies, I felt a huge internal conflict because I was dealing with a medium that had basically nothing to do with words, which I loved»3. Prima che Neil Jordan iniziasse a imprimere su pellicola i paesaggi irlandesi di Angel o gli scorci della capitale in Michael Collins, nessun altro regista irlandese lo aveva mai fatto. L’ispirazione per Jordan proviene dai film americani, da Federico Fellini, da Akira Kurosawa. Manca quel senso di identità e di conforto che solo un artista oriundo riesce a esprimere nella sua opera che parla della sua terra. Una situazione di totale sbilanciamento: da una parte le parole, la pagina scritta, satura di intelligenza irlandese; dall’altra le immagini, il cinematografo, un canovaccio vuoto. In questa sede si è voluto inquadrare la produzione filmica di Neil Jordan entro la cornice del cinema occidentale modernista e postmodernista, 3 Mario Falsetto, “Conversation with Neil Jordan”, in Carole Zucker (ed.), Neil Jordan. Interviews, Jackson, University Press of Mississippi, 2013, p. 5. ~ 2 ~ senza soffermarsi troppo sulla visione strettamente nazionale: «when looked at as an industry, cinema is not a national but an international business, in which different nations do not compete on the same terms»4. Come osservato da Ruth Barton, l’assenza di una industria cinematografica irlandese per la quasi totalità del Novecento ha per molti aspetti «inhibited the evolution of a distinct Irish cinematic language»5. Ciononostante, un tratto distintivo di Jordan regista rispetto ai suoi conterranei è sempre stata la profonda consapevolezza della natura internazionale del cinema, inteso sia come industria che come forma puramente artistica e poietica. In una recente intervista, l’attore Cillian Murphy sostiene tale tesi dichiarando che he’s a world director first and foremost; his movies are loved by everyone all over the world, and even though he deals with Irish themes, he’s also dealt with themes as far removed from Irish topics as you can get. There isn’t a great visual history in Irish cinema, you know what I mean? Great

  • Briefing Note: LGBTI-Inclusive Gender Equality Work Prepared by ILGA-Europe February 2020 It Is a Pivotal Moment in Europe
    Briefing note: LGBTI-inclusive Gender Equality work Prepared by ILGA-Europe February 2020 It is a pivotal moment in Europe, and beyond, when it comes to discussions of gender and gender equality. With the European Commission’s next Gender Equality Strategy on the near horizon, it is vital to ensure that the Strategy and the resulting policies, programmes, and positions are comprehensive and modern, addressing the gender-based needs of all women and girls in Europe and acknowledging the existence of non-binary and third gender European and global citizens. The following are points to remember in these ongoing discussions on inclusive gender equality policies and how to best frame issues impacting LBTI women, as well as non-binary people, where appropriate. 1. Intersex and trans women and girls are women and girls First and foremost, it is essential that Europe take a clear position: intersex and trans women and girls are women and girls. All too often, language is used that not only marginalises trans and intersex women and girls, but reverts to biological essentialism and creates false categories that are much too limiting. Furthermore, opponents of the rights of women, LGBTI people, and other minorities have started to dismiss the term “gender” as dangerous, and have thus put in question the long- established terminology of “sex” and “gender”, wherein “sex” refers to the biological reality of a body, and “gender” to the cultural meaning and form that that body acquires, the variable modes of that body's acculturation. The distinction between sex and gender has been crucial to the long-standing feminist effort to debunk the claim that anatomy is destiny and move forward for more equality.

This land is part of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquios Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. We acknowledge that we are still impacted by the effects of colonization. Those impacts are seen through the way we understand gender, sex and bodies in the context of this work.
