  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • Introduction
    THE WORLD AROUND US Introduction Celebrating cinema as a ’passport to the world’, this strand includes films from Iran, France, Africa, New Zealand, Tibet and Mongolia. This resource aims to give these films a context, and to challenge children to think about how the language of film is a universal language that helps us to understand and accept different cultures. The resource will address aspects of P.S.H.E. and Citizenship as well as Literacy, Science and Geography. ©Film Education 2006 1 THE WORLD AROUND US Aliens of the Deep 3D Running Time: 50 minutes Cert: U Suitable for: KS1/2 Literacy, Geography, Science Synopsis A team of young scientists and marine explorers guide us through a journey to some of the Earth's deepest, most extreme and unknown environments in search of the bizarre and alien creatures that live there. Looking at ecosystems, intensely hot oases and oversized sea- creatures, you are invited to consider these strange life forms and decide what they could represent. Film Facts The director of Aliens of the Deep, James Cameron, directed the box office smash, Titanic in 1997. In this documentary, he worked with a team of NASA scientists to explore the Mid-Ocean Ridge, a submerged chain of mountains that band the Earth and are home to some of the planet's most unusual life forms. Pre-viewing activities 1. Where do you think the Earth’s ‘deepest, most extreme and unknown environments’ could be?
