  • A Transcultural Perspective on the Casting of the Rose Tattoo

    A Transcultural Perspective on the Casting of the Rose Tattoo

    RSA JOU R N A L 25/2014 GIULIANA MUS C IO A Transcultural Perspective on the Casting of The Rose Tattoo A transcultural perspective on the film The Rose Tattoo (Daniel Mann, 1955), written by Tennessee Williams, is motivated by its setting in an Italian-American community (specifically Sicilian) in Louisiana, and by its cast, which includes relevant Italian participation. A re-examination of its production and textuality illuminates not only Williams’ work but also the cultural interactions between Italy and the U.S. On the background, the popularity and critical appreciation of neorealist cinema.1 The production of the film The Rose Tattoo has a complicated history, which is worth recalling, in order to capture its peculiar transcultural implications in Williams’ own work, moving from some biographical elements. In the late 1940s Tennessee Williams was often traveling in Italy, and visited Sicily, invited by Luchino Visconti (who had directed The Glass Managerie in Rome, in 1946) for the shooting of La terra trema (1948), where he went with his partner Frank Merlo, an occasional actor of Sicilian origins (Williams, Notebooks 472). Thus his Italian experiences involved both his professional life, putting him in touch with the lively world of Italian postwar theater and film, and his affections, with new encounters and new friends. In the early 1950s Williams wrote The Rose Tattoo as a play for Anna Magnani, protagonist of the neorealist masterpiece Rome Open City (Roberto Rossellini, 1945). However, the Italian actress was not yet comfortable with acting in English and therefore the American stage version (1951) starred Maureen Stapleton instead and Method actor Eli Wallach.

    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M. A. Berk at 50,000 In 1880 by Wm. B. Hackenburg at 230,257 In 1888 by Isaac Markens at 400,000 In 1897 by David Sulzberger at 937,800 In 1905 by "The Jewish Encyclopedia" at 1,508,435 In 1907 by " The American Jewish Year Book " at 1,777,185 In 1910 by " The American Je\rish Year Book" at 2,044,762 DISTRIBUTION The following table by States presents two sets of estimates.

  • Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess

    Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess

    PRESS RELEASE: June 2011 11/5 Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess BFI Southbank Salutes the Hollywood Legend On 23 March 2011 Hollywood – and the world – lost a living legend when Dame Elizabeth Taylor died. As a tribute to her BFI Southbank presents a season of some of her finest films, this August, including Giant (1956), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). Throughout her career she won two Academy Awards and was nominated for a further three, and, beauty aside, was known for her humanitarian work and fearless social activism. Elizabeth Taylor was born in Hampstead, London, on 27 February 1932 to affluent American parents, and moved to the US just months before the outbreak of WWII. Retired stage actress Sara Southern doggedly promoted her daughter’s career as a child star, culminating in the hit National Velvet (1944), when she was just 12, and was instrumental in the reluctant teenager’s successful transition to adult roles. Her first big success in an adult role came with Vincente Minnelli’s Father of the Bride (1950), before her burgeoning sexuality was recognised and she was cast as a wealthy young seductress in A Place in the Sun (1951) – her first on-screen partnership with Montgomery Clift (a friend to whom Taylor remained fiercely loyal until Clift’s death in 1966). Together they were hailed as the most beautiful movie couple in Hollywood history. The oil-epic Giant (1956) came next, followed by Raintree County (1958), which earned the actress her first Oscar nomination and saw Taylor reunited with Clift, though it was during the filming that he was in the infamous car crash that would leave him physically and mentally scarred.

  • 2006 Abstracts

    2006 Abstracts

    Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies Session Many of us in the field of modern Jewish studies have felt the need for an active working group interested in discussing our various projects, papers, and books, particularly as we develop into more mature scholars. Even more, we want to engage other committed scholars and respond to their new projects, concerns, and methodological approaches to the study of modern Jews and Judaism, broadly construed in terms of period and place. To this end, since 2001, we have convened a “Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies” that meets yearly in connection with the Association for Jewish Studies Annual Conference on the Saturday night preceding the conference. The purpose of this group is to gather interested scholars together and review works in progress authored by members of the group and distributed and read prior to the AJS meeting. 2006 will be the sixth year of a formal meeting within which we have exchanged ideas and shared our work with peers in a casual, constructive environment. This Works in Progress Group is open to all scholars working in any discipline within the field of modern Jewish studies. We are a diverse group of scholars committed to engaging others and their works in order to further our own projects, those of our colleagues, and the critical growth of modern Jewish studies. Papers will be distributed in November. To participate in the Works in Progress Group, please contact: Todd Hasak-Lowy, email: [email protected] or Adam Shear, email: [email protected] Co-Chairs: Todd S.
  • Ausblick: Der Weg Des Zionismus Von Der Utopie Zur Wirklichkeit

    Ausblick: Der Weg Des Zionismus Von Der Utopie Zur Wirklichkeit

    Ausblick: Der Weg des Zionismus von der Utopie zur WIrklichkeit Die so ausstrahlungskräftigen politischen Führungspersönlichkeiten Israels, derer es nicht wenige gab und die alles andere als unumstritten blieben, faszinierten in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten und nicht zuletzt von lCJ77 bis 1983, bis zum Rücktritt Menahem Begins, die Beobachter der israelischen Politik. Nicht allen gefiel alles an den israelischen Politikern. Aber selten blieb man ihnen gegenüber gleichgültig. Israel, Israelis und beson­ ders israelische Politiker polarisierten, nach außen ebenso wie nach innen. Durch eine Personalisierung der Politik könnte man leicht vergessen, daß die gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Probleme Israels weniger mit "großen" Männern und Frauen als vielmehr mit der Identität des jüdi• schen Staates zusammenhängen. Der Staat steckt in einer ,Identitäts• krise', die eine bislang nie gekannte Polarisierung und, daraus abgelei­ tet, auch im Weltjudentum bewirkt hat (vgl. Wolffsohn, 1983 b). Diese Identitätskrise hat einen arabisch-jüdischen sowie einen innerjüdischen Aspekt. Zunächst zum arabisch-jüdischen Bereich: Der Krieg gegen die PLO im Libanon, besonders die Massaker in den heiden Beiruter Flüchtlingslagern (1982), hat den Israelis deutlicher als frühere Ereig­ nisse die Kosten des eigenen Erfolges drastisch vor Augen geführt. Dies bezieht sich auf den Kampf gegen die PLO, ja sogar auf das zionistische Autbauwerk schlechthin: Sollte das Leid der Palästinenser der Preis für einen jüdischen Staat sein? fragen erstmals seit dem Herbst 1982 nicht nur Randgruppen sondern weite Kreise der Bevölkerung Israels. Zugleich wurden Zweifel an der Strategie der militärischen Hegemo­ nie, d.h. der militärischen Übermacht laut. Bislang hieß es immer, Is­ rael müsse militärische Übermacht besitzen, damit die Araber nicht den jüdischen Staat vernichten könnten.
