    ‘You’re a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr Bond’ The Elemental Encounters of James Bond LISA FUNNELL AND KLAUS DODDS What would it mean to describe James Bond as a man in his element? As an ex- pression in English, being “in one’s element” usuall refers to someone or some- thing well suited to what the are doing. #he term often con%e s, when a human actor is in%ol%ed, a sense of comfort, en&o ment, and e%en pleasure. 'on%ersel , when we note that someone or something is “out of their element”, we highlight other emotions and sensations such as discomfort, dislocation, and distress. (ore often than not, this phrase is used to describe social and professional cir- cumstances li)e embar)ing on a new &ob and*or socialising with people outside of our usual sphere. But we can also mobilise this phrase to draw attention to a relationship with something more elemental, describing human and non-human interactions with water, air, earth, and +re. While being in our element is usu- all seen as a good thing, we use elemental expressions li)e “out of our depth” and “!eel the atmosphere” to suggest that social and ph sical pressures and !orces ma ha%e got the better of us.

Presentation created for the students of the Department of English,University of Calcutta by Roshni Subba Casino Royale (1953) • One day, on his way to U.S , where he had to go often to settle security collaborations between the two Allies, he stopped at Portugal. He spent an evening at Casino Estoril with Rear Admiral John Godfrey and that is when he was creative enough to think about an idea for his first novel. • As he was leaving the casino he tells Godfrey, that it would have been so much fun if they had won the money from the German agents. And this sets the idea for the plot of Casino Royale, where James Bond’s mission is to take over the SMERSH agent Le Chiffre at the gaming table.

  • Competitive Individualism and Cold War Decline in Ian Fleming's Novel
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by KYOTO GAKUEN UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC REPOSITORY The Faculty of Economics and Business AdministrationEU のユース・ギャランティ政策とドイツの実施計画 Journal, KGU, No.3, November 2016 45 Article Competitive Individualism and Cold War Decline in Ian Fleming’s Novel, From Russia with Love Paul Bird Department of Economics and Business Administration Kyoto Gakuen University [email protected] Abstract Ian Fleming published his fifth Bond novel, From Russia with Love, in 1957. In the previous year there had been the Suez crisis, and five years later there would be the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was during this period that the West’s and the Soviet Union’s animosity peaked, while at the same time Great Britain’s relative power was declining, as were its colonies being given independence. This study examines the role of James Bond as a figure of competitive individualism, both within the novel and, furthermore, how the competitive individual is as much a product of industrialization as he is of contemporary Cold War politics. Keywords: Ian Fleming, James Bond, From Russia With Love, Competitive Individualism, Cold War, Spy, Thriller What is ‘competitive individualism’? A Definition and Context James Bond: the definitive hero of the spy thriller genre, both in film and in print. The name itself conjures an image of sophistication, opulence, bravery, and of course dapper good looks. Ian Fleming’s well-known series of Bond novels, fictionalizing the overseas espionage and intelligence gathering of the British secret service department MI6, features a male protagonist whose broad attributes would have been easily recognisable to contemporary American crime fiction readers, upper middle class affectations notwithstanding.

Meet the New Villain, Same as the Old Villain The New Cold War in American TV, Film and Video Games Declan E. Cronin ‘19 The Cold War ended in 1991. But, the American imagination of Russians continues to be informed by the Cold War framework. Hollywood movies, in particular, played a crucial role in shaping the public perception of the Soviet Union as an existential threat to the western way of life. Take for instance the film Rocky IV from 1985, which was ostensibly a narrative about the victory of America over the Soviet Union, represented through US boxer Rocky Balboa’s win against a Soviet boxer Ivan Drago. Rocky IV was not an exception. Throughout the Cold War, Russians frequently appeared as villains in many Hollywood movies, who were in the end always defeated by the good American heroes.
