Tutkimukseni lähtö- kohdaksi, taustaksi ja myös itsenäiseksi ja yhtäläisen tärkeäksi osaksi halusin liittää kattavan yleis- silmäyksen Potterin elämäntyöhön televisiossa, jonka Potter valitsi luovuutensa pääasialliseksi il- maisuvälineeksi. Esittelen Potterin tuotantoa pääpiirteissään keskittyen Potterin omaleimaiseen ja uuttaluovaan non-naturalistiseen tyyliin ja tekniikkaan ja tärkeimpiin teemoihin, joihin kuuluivat seksin ja seksuaalisuuden, uskonnon ja henkisen etsinnän, sosiaalisen luokan ja nostalgian aihepii- rit. Lähimmin tarkastelen Potterin pääteosta The Singing Detective ja luon silmäyksen myös kirjaili- jan saamaan kritiikkiin ja paljon keskustelua aikaansaaneeseen omaelämäkerrallisuuden problema- tiikkaan. Tutkielmassani avaan Potterin tuotannossa usein ja syvällä esiintyvää vierailumotiivin käsitettä ja perehdyn sen ilmenemismuotoihin Potterin teoksissa. Vierailu- eli visitaatiomotiivi tarkoittaa Potte- rilla tiettyä perusjuonikuviota, jossa muukalainen tunkeutuu yhteisöön rangaistakseen, palkitakseen tai kiinnittääkseen huomion johonkin käsittelemättömään asiaan tai yhteisöä lukkiuttavaan salaisuu- teen. Vierailija voi esiintyä monenlaisissa hahmoissa, mutta perusperiaate on, että hän on lopulta näytelmän henkilön mielensisäinen pelon tai syyllisyyden ruumiillistuma, jonka tarkoitus on paran- taa, tavalla tai toisella. Varsinaisessa näytelmäanalyysissäni pureudun Potterin näytelmään Brimsto- ne and Treacle , jossa tutkin vierailijan eli pirun henkilöhahmon rooleja ja merkityksiä näytelmän henkilöille. Tarkoitukseni on selvittää, millaisilla tavoilla pirun hahmo vaikuttaa näytelmän henki- löihin ja mitä merkitystä hänen interventiollaan on perheen selviytymisen kannalta. Asiasanat: televisiodraama, non-naturalismi, populaarikulttuuri, postmodernismi, nostalgia, sosiaa- linen luokka, piru, raiskaus, syyllisyys, trauma, pahuus, sensuuri, vierailumotiivi, visitaatiodraama ii SISÄLTÖ 1.

  • Dreams of Reading: Tender Is the Night
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 293 511 IR 013 034 AUTHOR Geraghty, Christine; Simpson, Philip TITLE Dreams of Reading: Tender Is the Night. PUB DATE Jul 86 NOTE 26p.; Paper presented at the International Television Studies Conferenc e (London, England, July 10-12, 1986). PUB TYPE Guides - Non-Classroom Use (055) -- Speeches /Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Comparative Analysis; Guidelines; *Media Adaptation; *Narration; *Novels; *Programing (Broadcast); Public Television; Television Research IDENTIFIERS British Broadcasting Corporation ABSTRACT Noting that little theoretical work has been done on the processes of adapting novels for television viewing, and that what discussion there is tends to concentrate on judgments about "faithfulness" to the original, this paper suggests that more can be gained from approaching television adaptations in a less literal way, and shows how the differences and similarities between the novel and its television adaptation can be mapped out. F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, "Tender is the Night," is offered as an example of the kind of adaptation that is an important element in British television programming, and a brief review of the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) and the Seventh Network, Australia, production of the novel and its exhibition history is provided as background for the textual analysis that follows. The ensuing discussion (1) raises some general questions about the differences between verbal and visual sign systems and the nature of the changes generated by the shift from words to images; (2) defines and gives examples of a number of strategies believed to be central to the process of adaptation; and (3) analyzes the complexity of the adaptation process by looking carefully at a short section of the television program.

(Cook 1998: 217) This one-day symposium, organized by the Department of Media Arts at Royal Holloway, University of London, celebrated the 25th anniversary of Dennis Potter’s The Singing Detective (tx. BBC1, 16 November 1986–21 December 1986). As the notes for the event explained, it sought to pay trib- ute to the BBC serial’s ‘narrative complexity, generic hybridity and formal experimentation’ and to bring scholars and practitioners together ‘to assess its subsequent influence upon television drama and the cinema’.

  • Dennis Potter: an Unconventional Dramatist
    Dennis Potter: An Unconventional Dramatist Dennis Potter (1935–1994), graduate of New College, was one of the most innovative and influential television dramatists of the twentieth century, known for works such as single plays Son of Man (1969), Brimstone and Treacle (1976) and Blue Remembered Hills (1979), and serials Pennies from Heaven (1978), The Singing Detective (1986) and Blackeyes (1989). Often controversial, he pioneered non-naturalistic techniques of drama presentation and explored themes which were to recur throughout his work. I. Early Life and Background He was born Dennis Christopher George Potter in Berry Hill in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire on 17 May 1935, the son of a coal miner. He would later describe the area as quite isolated from everywhere else (‘even Wales’).1 As a child he was an unusually bright pupil at the village primary school (which actually features as a location in ‘Pennies From Heaven’) as well as a strict attender of the local chapel (‘Up the hill . usually on a Sunday, sometimes three times to Salem Chapel . .’).2 Even at a young age he was writing: I knew that the words were chariots in some way. I didn’t know where it was going … but it was so inevitable … I cannot think of the time really when I wasn’t [a writer].3 The language of the Bible, the images it created, resonated with him; he described how the local area ‘became’ places from the Bible: Cannop Ponds by the pit where Dad worked, I knew that was where Jesus walked on the water … the Valley of the Shadow of Death was that lane where the overhanging trees were.4 I always fall back into biblical language, but that’s … part of my heritage, which I in a sense am grateful for.5 He was also a ‘physically cowardly’6 and ‘cripplingly shy’7 child who felt different from the other children at school, a feeling heightened by his being academically more advanced.

Brian Gibson : BBC : 76 min prod: Kenith Trodd : scr: Dennis Potter : dir.ph.: …………………………….……………………………………………………………………………… Alan Badel; Ronald Hines; Max Harris Ref: Pages Sources Stills KBytes Ω Copy on VHS Last Viewed 5147 ½ 1 0 - - - - - No unseen Halliwell's Television Companion review: [no listing in "History of Television", "How Sweet It Was" or "Television's Greatest “Dennis Potter play taken from incidents in Hits"] Edmund Gosse’s "Father and Son" about a stern Victorian papa agonising over Darwin’s Theory of Relativity. As a leading natural scientist of the day he recognises its force, as a fundamentalist christian he is committed to the literal truth of the bible; his motherless son unwittingly sharpens the dilemma. On any estimation one of the half dozen best things Potter has done – intellectually faultless, warm, tender and sly. ** ” No further information currently available. If Max Harris played the son, nothing else is known of him. Dennis Potter supplied several other titles of special interest to the archive, most notably his superb serial “The Singing Detective” (wartime boyhood guilt intertwines with adult gumshoe fantasy in the mind of a patient hospitalised with a crippling skin disease) and the less pleasing “DREAMCHILD” (an elderly Alice Liddell on her first cruise to America is haunted by disturbing recollections of her childhood acquaintance with Lewis Carroll, and nightmarish encounters with his creations). As with director Peter Greenaway, however, Potter's private preoccupations were sometimes allowed to override narrative consistency and intellectual rigour. At least, he was never less than interesting (something one could not accuse Derek Jarman of, for example).
