  • Fragments Against Ruin (Long Version)
    1 FRAGMENTS AGAINST RUIN Ian Walker My earliest Titanic memory is of a day in school sometime in the 1960s. We were all ushered into the assembly hall where a 16mm film projector had been set up and the heavy curtains were drawn so that only a few shafts of sunlight illuminated the rising dust. The film we watched that afternoon was A Night to Remember, the 1958 British movie about the Titanic disaster (the one with Kenneth More as Second Officer Lightoller). It is an oddly disorientating memory. This is not only due to the fact that we were watching the events of this chilly night unfold on a sunny day. Nor the irony that this school was sited near the point in the British Isles furthest from the sea (though apparently even in Birmingham the atmosphere on a windy day can carry sea water). It’s all that but it is also the odd status of the experience - was this entertainment or education? If this was indeed a history lesson, my post-postmodern fancy can now relish the fact that it took the form of a fiction. But then that’s pretty typical of the whole afterlife of the Titanic. In his book Down with the Old Canoe, a ‘cultural history of the Titanic Disaster’, Steven Biel charted the desire at various points over the last century for what we would now call ‘closure’. ’The Titanic disaster begs for resolution - and always resists it’, he concluded. Some have sought this resolution in researching every last fact about the event, others in diving to the bottom of the ocean to visit the wreck.

  • Commemoration Or Profit? the Truth Behind Belfast's Titanic
    Kelsey Johnson Broad Field Social Science Major & History Minor Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Valerie Barske Commemoration or Profit? The Truth Behind Analysis Belfast’s Titanic Commemoration and The commemorations for the Titanic in Belfast have transformed into a Memorialization tourist attraction instead a way of remembering the men and women who lost their lives. Belfast has memorialized the Titanic in museums (Fig. 1). Abstract Although these museums “teach” about the Titanic, they also use these In this research project, I examine commemorations, media coverage, event and museums for profit. In Belfast, some museums profit through and commercial films related to the 1912 sinking of the Titanic in Belfast romanticized interpretations of what happened aboard Titanic, most widely Ireland. More specifically, I argue that museums in Belfast Ireland employ known through the film produced by James Cameron. This film has made dark tourism and romanticized media coverage to bring in tourism and people believe events that did not really happen on Titanic, including economic growth to Ireland. I examine the ways that multimedia, marketable objects such as “the heart of the ocean” jewel, which is now celebrations, and museums are used to obscure the commemoration sold throughout many museums around the world. Scholars have thus events in order to profit from the historic tragedy. My research highlights critiqued the ways in which museums profit from this tragedy. the commemoration of the centennial sinking and how these sites serve as a form of commercial profit for places such as Belfast Ireland. Museums also profit from marketing the real-life stories of survivors and victims of the Titanic event.

Given the temporary nature of the proposal it will not conflict with the zoning or prejudice the future redevelopment of the site in line with the planned development of Titanic Quarter.

  • 1 Lazuli Bunting Manuscript Review History Manuscript
    1 LAZULI BUNTING MANUSCRIPT REVIEW HISTORY MANUSCRIPT (ROUND 1) Abstract One hundred years after its sinking, the Titanic holds many in its thrall. If not quite a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, it continues to captivate consumers worldwide. This paper explores RMS Titanic from a cultural branding perspective, arguing that “the unfathomable brand” can be fruitfully examined through the ambiguous lens of literary criticism. Although brand ambiguity is often regarded as something to be avoided, this article demonstrates that ambiguity is a multi-faceted construct, five aspects of which are discernible in the brand debris field surrounding the totemic vessel. Combining empirical research and archival investigation, the article contends that ambiguity is a strength, rather than a weakness, of iconic brands like Titanic. This document is part of a JCR Manuscript Review History. It should be used for educational purposes only. 2 In my own dreams of the Titanic, I am a disembodied robotic eye, gliding like a wayward star through the adits of its wrecked Atlantean cathedral, or through a porthole oculus, taking account of tilted apses and saloons, wandering their marble stairs and passageways. —Ciaran Carson, The Star Factory Paul Tillich (1952), the eminent theologian, defines maturity as an ability to tolerate ambiguity. If this is correct, then branding probably qualifies as a mature marketing practice. The early certainties of branding, encapsulated in Rosser Reeves’ (1961) USP, are gradually giving way to cultural and critical perspectives that are more oceanic, more polysemic, more amorphous than before (Bengtsson and Ostberg 2006; Beverland 2009; Kates and Goh 2003; Puntoni, Schroeder, and Ritson 2010).
