  • A Queer and Foreign State: Iceland’S Cinematic Subjects
    MAXINE SAVAGE A Queer and Foreign State: Iceland’s Cinematic Subjects ABSTRACT Since the year 2000, twenty Icelandic films have been produced which could be aptly grouped as LGBTQ+ or queer Icelandic cinema. This “queer turn” in Icelandic cinema emerges as the nation makes strides in advancing LGBTQ+ rights and as its demographics markedly shift, first-generation immigrants now comprising 12.6 per cent of the population. These changes have not occurred in a vacuum, and the films discussed in this article complicate the boundary between native and foreign, Icelandic and non-Icelandic, alongside their centering of queer characters and stories. In addition to narrative focus on coming-out and sexuality, many of the films within “Icelandic queer cinema” thematize race and ethnicity, often through the inclusion of foreign characters living and traveling in Iceland.This collection of films is thus well suited to exploring the interlock- ing national and sexual regulations which produce the Icelandic nation state. This article explores conceptions of the Icelandic nation state in two films that span Icelandic cinema’s “queer turn,” Baltasar Kormákur’s 101 Reykjavík (2000) and Ísold Uggadóttir’s Andið eðlilega (And Breathe Normally, 2018). In tracing representations of racialized otherness within these films and taking theoretical cues from critical race theory and queer of color critique, this article considers the ways in which race and ethnicity co-constitute categories of sex, gender, and sexual orientation. Ultimately, this article poses “Icelandic queer cinema” as a key site for the contemporary negotiation of the meaning of national and sexual belonging in Iceland. Keywords: Icelandic cinema, queer theory, race, abjection, Nordic exceptionalism lambda nordica 3–4/2020 © The authors.

Entre 1970 et 1977, ces six films à petit budget, montrés aux séances de minuit, ont influencé la manière de faire et voir les films, ils ont réinventé le medium en dépassant les frontières du mauvais goût et des tabous sociaux. Assister aux « films de minuit » est devenu un marqueur social, intellectuel, cinéphilique et culturel, un rite de passage pour toute une jeune génération en crise. Avec les interviews originales des réalisateurs John Waters (Pink Flamingos), David Lynch (Eraserhead), George Romero (Night of the Living Dead), Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo), Perry Henzell (The Harder They Come) et Richard O'Brien (le créateur et rôle-titre du Rocky Horror Picture Show). Stuart Samuels Le film est tiré du livre de Stuart Samuels, Midnight Movies, publié en 1983. Stuart Samuels a été professeur de cinéma et de culture populaire à l’Université de Pennsylvannie (1973-1980).

  • Performing Postcoloniality in the Jamaican Seventies: the Harder They Come and Smile Orange
    Postcolonial Text, Vol 6, No 1 (2011) Performing Postcoloniality in the Jamaican Seventies: The Harder They Come and Smile Orange Raphael Dalleo Florida Atlantic University The 1970s mark a crucial moment in Caribbean cultural history, as the region made the uneven passage from colonialism to postcoloniality. This essay will examine two Jamaican texts from that decade, the film The Harder They Come and the play Smile Orange, to read the ways in which the cultural products of that period demonstrate an engagement with a no longer anticolonial, not yet fully postcolonial context. Anticolonialism, as a critique of modern colonialism and a discourse able to establish links between intellectuals and social movements, led to successes such as the Cuban revolution in 1959 and inspired the decolonization era’s faith in revolutionary change throughout the 1960s. But the 1970s witnessed the rise of postcoloniality as a new system of exploitative and unequal international relations, and anticolonialism suddenly appeared unable to address these neoliberal forms of domination, leading to what David Scott describes as “the collapse of hitherto existing horizons of possible futures” (Conscripts 18). Kim Robinson-Walcott highlights the 1970s in Jamaica as the turning point in what she calls an “ideological trajectory from activism to apathy” in which “an ideological vacuum has been created” (129). Yet while The Harder They Come and Smile Orange certainly depict the exhaustion of a certain idea of politics that I will describe as anticolonialism, I will make the case that they nonetheless tentatively point to new strategies for renewing a committed and politically engaged Caribbean culture.
