  • Gb 1456 Thomas
    GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.

  • The Use and Abuse of Global Telepoiesis: of Human and Non-Human Bondages Entangled in Media Mobilities
    Keio Communication Review No.39, 2017 The Use and Abuse of Global Telepoiesis: Of Human and Non-Human Bondages Entangled in Media Mobilities OGAWA NISHIAKI Yoko* Introduction Collective memory is not an archive that is concealed or defiant to any access. Rather, collective memory is open to re-interpretation. Also, collective memory is displayed in various forms: names, folk tales, old films, TV programs and Japanese cinema on the big screen, which Japanese migrant women watch again but this time with local audiences in foreign cities. Media audience studies and other studies on diasporic media consumption (Morley, 1974, 1990; Collins et al., 1986; Liebes & Katz, 1990; Ang, 1991; Livingstone, 1998; Moores, 1993; Ogawa, 1992) have been endeavoring to examine readings of specific media texts in relation to audience so far. On the contrary, more detailed analysis of collective memory will be required to understand the global media mobilities we encounter in the past decades (Zelizer, 1993; Gillespie, 1995; Fortier, 2000). This paper will focus on recursivity by shifting the emphasis from meaning of the text itself to how collective memories in talks act as sites, namely time-spaces (Scannell, 1988, 1991; Gilroy et al., 2000). It is this type of media mobilities with which the Japanese women who live abroad try to locate themselves somewhere local amid the global upheavals they encounter (Ogawa, 1994, 1996; Urry, 2007; 1 Elliot & Urry, 2010) . With emphasis on Japanese women, who are unfamiliar with war memories but are destined to recursively cope with them, diasporic experiences in relation with media, history and self-identity will be highlighted (Dower, 1986; Goodman, 1990; Clair et al., 2016).

Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2015 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH KENNETH P. DIETRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Kevin M.

Flanagan 2015 iii THE BRITISH WAR FILM, 1939-1980: CULTURE, HISTORY, AND GENRE Kevin M. Flanagan, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2015 This dissertation argues that discussions of war representation that privilege the nationalistic, heroic, and redemptively sacrificial strand of storytelling that dominate popular memory in Britain ignore a whole counter-history of movies that view war as an occasion to critique through devices like humor, irony, and existential alienation. Instead of selling audiences on what Graham Dawson has called “the pleasure culture of war” (a nationally self-serving mode of talking about and profiting from war memory), many texts about war are motivated by other intellectual and ideological factors. Each chapter includes historical context and periodizing arguments about different moments in British cultural history, explores genre trends, and ends with a comparative analysis of representative examples.
