  • The Black Tent
    The Black Tent (1956) and Bengazi (1955): The Image of Arabs in Two Post-Empire Journeys into the Deserts of Libya Richard Andrew Voeltz [email protected] Cameron University Volume 7.1 (2018) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2018.200 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract These two little known films are both part of the cycle of post-imperial films dealing with the decline of the British Empire. They are perhaps the only films set in or near the historical period of the British Military Administration of Libya after 1945. The Black Tent frequently gets lumped in with the genre of World War II British war films. Bengazi marks the cinematic journey of the actor Victor McLaglen from The Lost Patrol (1934) to Bengazi (1955), his career encapsulating the beginning and end of the Hollywood British Empire film genre. Both films contain redemptive dramatic journeys into the deserts of Libya involving the loss of British imperial male power. The case studies of The Black Tent and Bengazi show the beginnings of new post-empire film genres and new mentalities toward the Arab “Other” that partially promotes a decolonization of western cinema.

The Black Tent (1956) and Bengazi (1955): The Image of Arabs in Two Post-Empire Journeys into the Deserts of Libya Richard Andrew Voeltz The Black Tent (1956, British) and Bengazi (1955, American) are perhaps the only feature films set in the last days of the British Military Administration of Libya from 1945 to 1951.

    An Observance for Commonwealth Day 2015 In the presence of Her Majesty The Queen His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge Monday 9th March 2015 at 3.15 pm A Young Commonwealth The Commonwealth theme for 2015 The Abbey is served by a hearing loop. Users should turn their hearing aids to the setting marked T. Members of the congregation are kindly requested to refrain from using private cameras, video, or sound-recording equipment. Please ensure that mobile phones, pagers, and other electronic devices are switched off. It is my great pleasure, as Chairman of the Council of Commonwealth Societies, to welcome you to this very special event. In a deeply disturbed and uneasy world, the Commonwealth family assembles once again at Westminster Abbey to celebrate and give thanks for our unity, friendship, shared purpose and values. With half of the Commonwealth’s peoples being under twenty-five, this is the family and the network in which tomorrow meets today, in which the aspiring young who are the future come together with those who have built the past and the present. Today there are forces and trends at work more powerful than any single government that are binding together the young people of all Commonwealth countries as never before—and in ways which would have astounded their forbears. A new kind of Commonwealth is emerging. Instantaneous contact, and constant and open communication unite schoolchildren and students, professional people of all kinds, sportsmen and women in every field, entrepreneurs, ideas and investors, artists and authors, faiths and friends in a daily conversation and worldwide association the like of which exists nowhere else.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ROYAL SUBJECTS
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: ROYAL SUBJECTS, IMPERIAL CITIZENS: THE MAKING OF BRITISH IMPERIAL CULTURE, 1860- 1901 Charles Vincent Reed, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Richard Price Department of History ABSTRACT: The dissertation explores the development of global identities in the nineteenth-century British Empire through one particular device of colonial rule – the royal tour. Colonial officials and administrators sought to encourage loyalty and obedience on part of Queen Victoria’s subjects around the world through imperial spectacle and personal interaction with the queen’s children and grandchildren. The royal tour, I argue, created cultural spaces that both settlers of European descent and colonial people of color used to claim the rights and responsibilities of imperial citizenship. The dissertation, then, examines how the royal tours were imagined and used by different historical actors in Britain, southern Africa, New Zealand, and South Asia. My work builds on a growing historical literature about “imperial networks” and the cultures of empire. In particular, it aims to understand the British world as a complex field of cultural encounters, exchanges, and borrowings rather than a collection of unitary paths between Great Britain and its colonies.

For the first time at a commencement ceremony at Buckingham Palace, representatives of the Traditional Custodians of the land where the Commonwealth Games will be held, the Yugambeh Language Group People, delivered a moving invitation to all First Nations peoples of the Commonwealth to join in the celebrations of the Games on Yugambeh land.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction Haunting can be seen as intrinsically resistant to the contraction and homogenization of time and space. It happens when a place is stained by time, or when a particular place becomes the site for an encounter with broken time. (Fisher 2012 : 19) To commence on a reasonably self- indulgent note, during the 1970s most provincial towns contained at least one tatty bingo hall that had once been the local ABC or Odeon picture house. As for the handful of cinemas that still existed in town centres, they were often in a profoundly sorry state of repair. For many of my background, a birthday visit to the pictures meant passing through peeling mock Ionic columns, buying strange brands of confectionery that any discerning child would other- wise avoid and settling into plush red seats that exuded clouds of dust. Th e bill of fare would usually commence with cigarette advertisements promising a jet- set world that was entirely at odds with the surroundings both in and outside of the venue. Th e next part of the ritual was the promotions for local businesses, 1 regularly enhanced by still photographs that appeared to be a decade out of date. You would not have to be supernaturally observant to appreciate, however dimly, that these venues were fast becoming ghosts, for all the billboards promising thrills, excitement and Dave Prowse sporting what appeared to be a coal scuttle on his head. When my own cinemagoing commenced, a visit to the Odeon on Above Bar Street was an occasional treat on par with a visit to the Little Chef, 2 but even so, Southampton’s picture houses seemed just as much a relic of a recent but unattain- able past.
