Contact: [email protected] London Death Drives: The Destruction of London in 2000s British SF Film Andrew M Butler There is a moment in Reign of Fire (Rob Bowman, 2002) when Quinn Abercromby (Christian Bale) climbs a wall from a river and gazes across at a semi-destroyed Palace of Westminster and says, “Well, this town’s gone to Hell.” It is not the only landmark to have survived several decades of destruction by dragons: Tower Bridge has also made it through. In this essay I wish to explore the symbolism and meaning of such landmarks, drawing upon ideas of Charles Peirce, Roland Barthes and Sigmund Freud, within the context of a number of twenty-first century British science-fiction films, notably Reign of Fire, 28 Days Later (Danny Boyle 2002), 28 Weeks Later (Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, 2007) and Children of Men (Alfonso Cuarón, 2006).1 It has to be admitted that the phenomena does not begin here.

  • DERKÉTA Stacks Explorer Documentation ! ! ! ! Devin Smith Late Summer 2018
    ! DERKÉTA Stacks Explorer Documentation ! ! ! ! Devin Smith Late Summer 2018 Modern connotations of the word “epic” are in some ways misleading when we turn to the Homeric poems, the texts that began the Western epic tradition. The Greek word epos means simply “word” or “story” or “song.” It is related to a verb meaning “to say” or “to tell,” which is used (in a form with a prefix) in the first line of the poem. The narrator commands the Muse, “Tell me”: enn-epe. An epic poem is, at its root, simply a tale that is told. The Odyssey is grand or (in modern terms) “epic” in scope: it is over twelve thousand lines long. The poem is elevated in style, composed entirely in a regular poetic rhythm, a six-beat line (dactylic hexameter), and its vocabulary was not that used by ordinary Greeks in everyday speech, in any time or place. The language contains a strange mixture of words from different periods of time, and from Greek dialects associated with different regions. A handful of words in Homer were incomprehensible to Greeks of the classical period. The syntax is relatively simple, but the words and phrases, in these combinations, are unlike the way that anybody ever actually spoke. The style is, from a modern perspective, strange: it is full of repetitions, redundancies, and formulaic expressions. These mark the poem’s debt to a long tradition of storytelling and suggest that we are in a world that is at least partly continuous with a distant, half-forgotten past... !1 !2 !3 Translator’s Note The Prelinger Library is a small, appropriation-friendly library and communal space which lives on the second floor of a multi-unit building in Soma (its neighbors include several dance studios, which keeps the diagetic soundtrack surprising).
