This permeation of ancient models in a new nation seeking to break from the yoke of European culture presents some paradoxes which have been pointed out by historian Meyer Reinhold: Despite the distance from the great centers of humanistic learning, the absence of visible relics of the Greek and Roman presence to memorialize the continuity with classical antiquity and excite feelings of pride in the cultural heritage, and sporadic opposition on religious and utilitarian grounds, classical learning was swiftly naturalized on American soil, and in consequence a fair number of colonial and Revolutionary Americans were nurtured and molded by the humanistic tradition (Reinhold, 1984, 23). Be it the name of certain institutions (the Senate) or their location (the Capitol), the influence of antiquity in early American art and architecture, the founding of cities named after ancient figures (Cincinnati), or the place of classics in college curricula, Greco-Roman antiquity was meant to provide the new nation with a set of political, aesthetic and philosophical models on the foundation of which its inhabitants might fulfil their destiny. Such ubiquity of (neo)classical culture led educated men and women in the late eighteenth century to speak of antiquity as a familiar world, to which they claimed to be the rightful heirs. Joseph Warren thus wore “a Ciceronian toga” in order to commemorate the Boston massacre in 1775 (Winterer, 2002, 26) and John Adams likened classical antiquity to a boudoir of octagonal shape with a “full- length mirror on every side” in which the citizens of the New World might see their reflection (quoted in Shalev, 2009, 2). 2 This fantasized connection to ancient cultures impacted Americans’ understanding of historical time. In Rome Reborn on Western Shores, Eran Shalev has demonstrated that Transatlantica, 2 | 2015 7 American history lent itself to typological readings and was often referred to as a reenactment of Greek and Roman annals. Antiquity was turned into both the birthplace of Western civilization and a horizon setting an example to be followed and improved by the emerging nation. Claiming continuity between the American experience and the classical world was also a way of downplaying the cultural ties which united the United States and Britain although these uses of antiquity were often mediated through eighteenth-century British appropriations of such models, the enduring presence of Addison’s Cato in American revolutionaries’ political imagination being a case in point (Shalev, 2009, 99-104). 3 Despite this “cult of antiquity” (Reinhold, 1984, 23), ancient cultures proved to be an ambivalent model at the turn of the nineteenth century.

  • In Praise of Tim Burton
    In Praise of Tim Burton By William Woof Spring 1998 Issue of KINEMA IN PRAISE OF TIM BURTON: FINDING THE MASTERPIECE IN MARS ATTACKS ”Science fiction is a literary province I used to visit fairly often; if I now visit it seldom, that isnotbecause my taste has improved but because the province has changed, being now covered with new building estates, in a style I don’t care for. But in the good old days I noticed that whenever critics said anything about it, they betrayed great ignorance.... A great many writers use it for satire; nearly all the most pungent criticism of the American way of life takes this form, and would at once be denounced as un-American if it ventured into any other. C.S. Lewis”(1) Published two years before his death in 1963, Lewis’s comments on critical methods and practices were written in order to highlight the dangers of pigeonholing the entire corpus of a popular genre according to literary prejudices or the presumed practices of its readers. Lewis was acutely aware of the wide literary spectrum covered by science fiction: from mythologizing to hack writing, from eulogies of technology to outright flights of fantasy. But he had also understood those peculiarities of the American naturethat combine a fast-talking entrepreneurship with a productive and industrious ingenuity to create a national character highly prone to deep, xenophobic suspicions of ”alien” ideologies. We may safely assume that had his evaluation been extended to the ”new building estates” of America’s ”golden age” of B-grade SF films of the 1950’s, his analysis would have assimilated not only their tacky, exploitative nature buttheir glorification of technology as well.

  • Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs
    Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2014 Declaration Whilst registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Word count: 85,810 Abstract Extreme art cinema, has, in recent film scholarship, become an important area of study. Many of the existing practices are motivated by a Franco-centric lens, which ultimately defines transgressive art cinema as a new phenomenon. The thesis argues that a study of extreme art cinema needs to consider filmic production both within and beyond France. It also argues that it requires an historical analysis, and I contest the notion that extreme art cinema is a recent mode of Film production. The study considers extreme art cinema as inhabiting a space between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art forms, noting the slippage between the two often polarised industries. The study has a focus on the paratext, with an analysis of DVD extras including ‘making ofs’ and documentary featurettes, interviews with directors, and cover sleeves. This will be used to examine audience engagement with the artefacts, and the films’ position within the film market. Through a detailed assessment of the visual symbols used throughout the films’ narrative images, the thesis observes the manner in which they engage with the taste structures and pictorial templates of art and exploitation cinema.

  • Baadassss Gangstas: the Parallel Influences, Characteristics and Criticisms of the Blaxploitation Cinema and Gangsta Rap Movements
    Baadassss Gangstas: The Parallel Influences, Characteristics and Criticisms of the Blaxploitation Cinema and Gangsta Rap Movements Dustin Engels Journal of Hip Hop Studies, Volume 1, Issue 1, Spring 2014, pp. 62 ‐ 80 BAADASSS GANGSTAS . Baadassss Gangstas: The Parallel Influences, Characteristics and Criticisms of the Blaxploitation Cinema and Gangsta Rap Movements Dustin Engels Abstract Serving as two of the most visible African American cultural movements, blaxploitation cinema and gangsta rap played essential roles in giving African American artists an outlet to establish a new black identity for mainstream audiences. After exploring the similarities between the cultural and economic conditions that spawned both movements, this essay examines the parallel techniques by which the preeminent entries in both genres established themselves as culturally relevant for African American audiences. These techniques included a reliance on place and space to establish authenticity, as well as employing African American myths and folklore such as the Signifying Monkey and the badman. By establishing themselves as mainstream representations of black identity, the harshest critics and staunchest defenders of both movements came from within the African American community, a clear indication of the important role each would play in establishing a new era of black representation in popular culture. In October 2012, New Orleans rapper Curren$y released a mixtape online for his fans entitled Priest Andretti. Taking its name from the main character of the 1972 blaxploitation film Super Fly, this fourteen-track mixtape frequently pays homage to the blaxploitation movement that occurred in the early 1970s by incorporating clips from Super Fly throughout, as well as including songs entitled “Max Julien” (star of the 1973 film The Mack) and “Cleopatra Jones” (title character of the 1973 film Cleopatra Jones).

  • Bud Spencer És Terence Hill Filmjeinek Sikere Marketinges Szemmel
    BUD SPENCER ÉS TERENCE HILL FILMJEINEK SIKERE MARKETINGES SZEMMEL PAPP-VÁRY ÁRPÁD FERENC PHD Bud Spencer és Terence Hill a filmtörténelem egyik, ha nem a legismertebb párosa. Bár fő mozis sikereik a hetvenes években és a nyolcvanas évek első felében születtek, filmjeik sokadik ismétlése mind mai a napig százezreket ültet a képernyő elé. Legalábbis Olaszországban, Németországban és természetesen Magyarországon, mert ezekben az országokban a legnépszerűbbek. Az általuk írt, illetve róluk szólt könyvek is itt fogynak a legjobban. Életműveikről az elmúlt években több kötet is megjelent, úgy is, mint Bud Spencer két saját könyve a „Különben dühbe jövök – Önéletrajz” (2010), a „Nyolcvan év alatt a Föld körül” (2014), az Ulf Lüdeke által írt könyv a páros másik tagjáról („Terence Hill – Exkluzív életrajz”, 2013), vagy éppen a páros teljes filmográfiáját összefoglaló Tobias Hohman gyűjtemény („Bud Spencer és Terence Hill krónikák”, 2014). Ugyan a filmszakmában némileg sznob módon sokan csak legyintenek a párosra és alkotásaikra, valójában a maguk módján rendkívül egyedi, amit alkottak, marketing szakszóval azt mondhatjuk, megvolt a USP-jük (unique selling proposition). Jelen cikk marketinges szemmel vizsgálja sikerük titkát, valamint érinti azt is, hogy milyen marketingesek voltak ők maguk, illetve hogyan marketingelnek mind a mai napig velük. Bevezetés 1999-ben a Time magazin Roberto Benigni „Az élet szép” című filmjének hatalmas sikere után az alkotásról szóló cikk mellett lehozta a „leghíresebb olasz színészek listáját”. És hogy kik álltak az első két helyen? Bud Spencer és Terence Hill. Bizony, bár rengeteg nagy formátumú olasz színészt ismerünk, mint a hölgyek közül Claudia Cardinale, Gina Lollobrigida, Sophia Loren vagy Monica Bellucci, a férfiak közül pedig Marcello Mastroianni vagy Franco Nero, a lista első két helyét nem más, mint Bud Spencer és Terence Hill foglalta el.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory Goes Batty with Home Run Halloween Museum plans ghoulish grand slam weekend; Festivities begin Wednesday Louisville, Ky. – October 12th, 2016 - For Halloween, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory is getting wicked. Wicked fun, that is. From October 19 – 23, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory will celebrate its first ever Home Run Halloween. A hauntingly good time that includes Creepy Cocktails, two nights of Double Creature Features and a Family Fun Fest, plus The World’s Largest Vampire Stake and free admission to the spectacular Ripley’s Believe It or Not!® Oddball™ exhibition. Wednesday, October 19th World’s Largest Vampire Stake Unveiled Vampires beware. They don’t make your kind of bats at Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory. But they do have a big surprise for any bloodsuckers who swoop by. On Wednesday, October 19, at 10 a.m., Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory will unveil The World’s Largest Vampire Stake. The stake is a towering eight-feet, eight-inches long. It was hand-hewn in the bat factory owned by Hillerich & Bradsby Co. A chainsaw, an electric hand planer and a blow torch were used to craft the stake from a 12-inch diameter ash log that was selected and shipped in from H&B’s forest in Northwest Pennsylvania. “The same properties that make our ash trees great for baseball bats also make them the perfect choice for vampire stakes. Because of its grain structure, ash wood is flexible and less likely to break, just what you need when a baseball or a vampire is coming your way,” deadpanned Anne Jewell, VP and Executive Director of Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory.

Offering overblown fantasies of black power and heroism filmed on the sites of race rebellions of the late 1960s, blaxploitation films were objects of fierce debate among social leaders and commentators for the image of blackness they projected, in both its aesthetic character and its social and political utility. After some time spent as the "bad object" of African-American cinema history,[1] critical and theoretical interest in blaxploitation resurfaced in the 1990s, in part due to the way that its images-- and sounds--recirculated in contemporary film and music cultures. Since the early 1990s, a new generation of African-American filmmakers has focused
