This article uses the case of pregnancy testing in Britain to investigate the process whereby new and often controversial reproductive technologies are made visible and normal- ized in mainstream entertainment media. It shows how in the 1980s and 1990s the then nascent product placement industry was instrumental in embedding pregnancy testing in British cinema and television’s dramatic productions. In this period, the pregnancy-test close- up became a conventional trope and the thin blue lines associated with Unilever’s Clearblue rose to prominence in mainstream consumer culture. This article investigates the aestheticiza- tion of pregnancy testing and shows how increasingly visible public concerns about ‘schoolgirl mums’, abortion and the biological clock, dramatized on the big and small screen, propelled the commercial rise of Clearblue. It argues that the Clearblue close-up ambiguously concealed as much as it revealed; abstraction, ambiguity and flexibility were its keys to success. Unilever first marketed the leading Clearblue brand of home pregnancy test in the mid- 1980s. Since then home pregnancy tests have become a ubiquitous and highly familiar reproductive technology and diagnostic tool.

Displacement, whether forced or self- imposed is is in many ways a calamity. The study of trans-cultural literature might be the study of the way in which cultures recognize themselves through their projections of ‘otherness’. The diasporic production of cultural meanings occurs in many areas, such as contemporary music, film, theatre and dance, but writing is one of the most interesting and strategic ways in which diaspora might disrupt the binary of local and global and problematize national, racial and ethnic formulations of identity. The diasporic Indian writers of the first generation have already established their credentials by winning numerous literary awards and honours. But recently the ranks of the second generation of Indian writers in the west have swelled enormously and many among them have won international recognition.

  • Monstrous Aunties: the Rabelaisian Older Asian Woman in British Cinema and Television Comedy
    Monstrous Aunties: The Rabelaisian older Asian woman in British cinema and television comedy Estella Tincknell, University of the West of England Introduction Representations of older women of South Asian heritage in British cinema and television are limited in number and frequently confined to non-prestigious genres such as soap opera. Too often, such depictions do little more than reiterate familiar stereotypes of the subordinate ‘Asian wife’ or stage the discursive tensions around female submission and male tyranny supposedly characteristic of subcontinent identities. Such marginalisation is compounded in the relative neglect of screen representations of Asian identities generally, and of female and older Asian experiences specifically, within the fields of Film and Media analysis. These representations have only recently begun to be explored in more nuanced ways that acknowledge the complexity of colonial and post-colonial discoursesi. The decoupling of the relationship between Asian and Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage, together with the foregrounding of religious rather than national-colonial identities, has further rendered the topic more complex. Yet there is an exception to this tendency. In the 1990s, British comedy films and TV shows began to carve out a space in which transgressive representations of aging Asian women appeared. From the subversively mischievous Pushpa (Zohra Segal) in Gurinder Chadha’s debut feature, Bhaji on the Beach (1993), to the bickering ‘competitive mothers’ of the ground-breaking sketch show, Goodness, Gracious Me (BBC 1998 – 2001, 2015), together 1 with the sexually-fixated grandmother, Ummi (Meera Syal), in The Kumars at Number 42 (BBC, 2001-6; Sky, 2014), a range of comic older female figures have overturned conventional discourses.

  • The World Rides Lancashire Dalesrail: Black and Asian History Along the Line Aidan Turner-Bishop
    Tales from DalesRail The World rides Lancashire DalesRail: Black and Asian history along the line Aidan Turner-Bishop DalesRail may not be operating in 2020 but that doesn’t stop us sharing our many interesting experiences about our journeys. We hope you will share your interesting stories, favourite walks, fascinating anecdotes and pictures about DalesRail. Please send them to [email protected] or [email protected]. Lancashire DalesRail runs from Blackpool and Preston, through Blackburn and Clitheroe, to join the scenic Settle & Carlisle railway at Hellifield and then on to the Border city of Carlisle. ‘Black’ history of people of African and Asian heritage may seem a long way from the wild slopes of Mallerstang and the lush fields of the Ribble and Eden valleys but this isn’t so. African and Asian people have lived and worked in the area for over a thousand years since the days of the Roman Empire as we shall discover. There is a Chinese saying that “a journey of a thousand li (miles) begins with a single step”. In our case this starts at Blackpool North station. Blackpool is the setting for Gurinder Chadha’s 1993 comedy film Bhaji on the beach, written by Meera Syal, in which a group of British women (mainly Punjabis of various faiths) enjoy a busy day out at the Blackpool Illuminations. Artists from over the world have starred in Blackpool. They include Dame Shirley Bassey, Nat King Cole, and Sammy Davis Junior. Nat King Cole The African-American historian, writer, politician, journalist, and Baptist minister George Washington Williams (1849-1891) is buried in Layton cemetery, Blackpool.
