  • From Alignment to Commitment: the Early Work of James Kelman
    From Alignment to Commitment: The Early Work of James Kelman Terence Patrick Murphy James Kelman (© BBC, 2002) Abstract In Marxism and Literature (1977), Raymond Williams argues that writing is in an important sense always aligned. This sense of alignment, however, may be distinguished from a sense of chosen commitment,which is “conscious, active, and open.” Through a close analysis of the early work of the Scottish working-class writer James Kelman, this essay examines how an ideologically committed writer learned to refashion the dominant forms of novelistic discourse for his own political purposes. For Kelman, commitment in writing involves the recognition of the “distinction between dialogue and narrative as a summation of the political system.” This distinction was “simply another method of exclusion, of marginalizing and disenfranchising different peoples, cultures and communities,” Political commitment thus required Kelman to break successfully with the tradition of “‘working class authors’ who allowed ‘the voice’ of higher authority to control narrative, the place where the psychological drama occurred.” Copyright © 2007 by Terence Patrick Murphy and Cultural Logic, ISSN 1097-3087 Terence Patrick Murphy 2 . the relation between the language of the novelist — always in some measure an educated language, as it has to be if the full account is to be given, and the language of these newly described men and women — a familiar language, steeped in a place and in work; often different in profound as well as simple ways — and to the novelist consciously different — from the habits of education: the class, the method, the underlying sensibility. It isn’t only a matter of relating disparate idioms, though that technicality is how it often appears.

  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

  • George Sand, La Professionalització De L' Escriptor I El Socialisme Utopic
    George Sand, la professionalització de l' escriptor i el socialisme utopic Miguel López Crespí Escriptor Rebut: 25 febrer 2007 Acceptat: 28 maig 2007 RESUM: George Sand, la professionalització de I'escriptor i el socialisme utopic L'autor fonamenta el seu estudi en els assaigs publicats per George Sand i fonamentalment en 1'abundant bibliografia produlda a Espanya després de la traducci6 d' Un hivern a Mallorca, mal acollit per part de la burgesia i l'aristocracia de 1'illa. En el moment de la seva estada a Mallorca, George Sand és 1'escriptora més famosa de Fran\(a. És sens dubte una professional de les lletres. 1 aixo, dos segles més tard, resta encara difícil de concebre a l'illa. George Sand va adquirir ben aviat aquest estatut d'escriptora professional, gairebé des del moment en que arriba a París, el 1830. L'altra vessant de la vida de George Sand és el seu compromís amb el socialisme utopic. Tot aixo produí un xoc en la societat tancada de l'illa de Mallorca. EIs crítics espanyols ho testimonien. Sand, després de la seva estada a Mallorca, va mantenir el seu compromís polític i fins i tot el va desenvolupar. MOTs CLAU: Professi6, socialisme utopic, Mallorca, recepci6, compromís. RÉSUMÉ: George Sand, la professionnalisation de I'écrivain et le socialisme utopique L'auteur fonde son étude sur les essais publiés sur George Sand et surtout sur l'abondante bibliographie produite en Espagne apres la traduction d' Un hiver aMajorque, mal accueilli par la bourgeoisie et l' aristocratie de l'ile. Lors de son séjour a Majorque, George Sand est l'écrivaine la plus connue de la France.

  • The Revival of the Satiric Spirit in Contemporary British Fiction1
    The Revival of the Satiric Spirit in Contemporary British Fiction1 Luis Alberto Lázaro Lafuente University of Alcalá Satiric novels have traditionally been regarded as a minor form by many critics and scholars. Aristotle had already referred to the satirists as "the more trivial" poets who wrote about the actions of meaner~persons, in stark contrast to the "more serious-minded" epic poets who represented noble actions and the lives of noble people (1965: 35-36). This attitude has persisted throughout many centuries in the history of English literature. Even though satire enjoyed its golden age in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, especially with the poetry of such distinguished writers as Dryden or Pope, satiric compositions in prose did not really achieve the same high position2• When with time the novel became a well• established genre, it was mainly naturalistic fiction and psychological stories that commonly attained a prominent status among the literary critics, whereas the comic and satiric novel, with a few exceptions, was relegated to a status of popular prose on the fringe of the canon, or even outside it. Indeed, in the twentieth century, several prestigious authors have offered a rather gloomy picture of the state of novelistic satire. Robert C. Elliott, for instance, said in 1960 that the great literary figures of this century were not "preeminently satirists" (1970: 223); and Patricia Meyer Spacks, in her artide "Some Reflections on Satire" first published in 1968, even stated that satiric novel s by authors such I Some ideas oí this paper have already appeared in my essay "El espíritu satírico en la novela británica contemporánea: Menipo redivivo", included in the volume edited by Fernando Galván Már• genes y centros en la literatura británica actual.
