The old sailor is Yanez De Gomera, a Portuguese pirate and Sandokan’s companion in many adventures. The idea to narrate Salgari’s character at the beginning and at the end of the story, will also give a hypothetical reading of a mystery that has always intrigued thousands of readers worldwide: how Emilio Salgari was able to describe so well and with such abundance of exciting details, lands and countries that in reality he had never seen, having never been able to travel if not with his imagination. Another innovation in comparison to the previous versions of Sandokan will be the story of the genesis of the character, the creation of its myth by the English themselves, that he will fight against for his whole life. In fact we will narrate Sandokan as a child, son of a Malayan Rajah who fights against the control of his country by the English and for this reason he is killed together with all his family by some hired assassins Dayakis paid by James Brooke the white rajah of Sarawak, a man without scruples at the service of the Crown.

  • Asian Extreme As Cult Cinema: the Transnational Appeal of Excess and Otherness Jessica Anne Hughes BA English and Film Studies
    Asian Extreme as Cult Cinema: The Transnational Appeal of Excess and Otherness Jessica Anne Hughes BA English and Film Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University MA Film Studies, University of British Columbia A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Communications and Arts Hughes 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the way Western audiences respond to portrayals of excess and otherness in Japanese Extreme cinema. It explores the way a recent (2006-2016) cycle of Japanese Splatter (J-Splatter) films, including The Machine Girl (Noboru Iguchi, 2008) and Tokyo Gore Police (Yoshihiro Nishimura, 2008), have been positioned as cult due to their over-the-top representations of violence and stereotypes of Japanese culture. Phenomenological research and personal interviews interrogate Western encounters with J-Splatter films at niche film festivals and on DVD and various online platforms through independent distributors. I argue that these films are marketed to particular Western cult audiences using vocabulary and images that highlight the exotic nature of globally recognised Japanese cultural symbols such as schoolgirls and geisha. This thesis analyses J-Splatter’s transnational, cosmopolitan appeal using an approach informed by the work of Ernest Mathijs and Jamie Sexton, Matt Hills, Henry Jenkins, and Iain Robert Smith, who read the relationship between Western audiences and international cult cinema as positive and meaningful cultural interactions, demonstrating a desire to engage in more global experiences. The chapters in this thesis use textual analysis of J-Splatter films and case studies of North American and Australian film festivals and distribution companies, which include interviews with festival directors and distributors, to analyse the nature of the appeal of J- Splatter to Western audiences.

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] Gender, Genre and Sociocultural Change in the Giallo: 1970-1975 Michael Mackenzie MA, MLitt Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies School of Culture and Creative Arts University of Glasgow August 2013 2 Abstract This thesis examines representations of gender in the Italian giallo, a short-lived but tremendously popular, lucrative and prolific body of films in the murder-mystery thriller tradition that enjoyed their heyday in the early-to-mid 1970s. Traditionally, both academic and populist responses to these films have focused on the output of a small number of maverick directors that have been elevated critically above their peers. Conversely, this thesis aligns itself with a more recent trend towards eschewing auteurist readings in favour of examining the giallo as a broad ‘filone’ (cycle) defined by shared iconography, narrative conventions and underlying anxieties.

  • 11, 2012 Celebrating “Foods & Culture(S) in a Global Context”
    Fall 08 Southwest Texas Popular Culture and American Culture Associations 33rd Annual Conference February 8 – 11, 2012 Celebrating “Foods & Culture(s) in a Global Context” Hyatt Regency Hotel & Conference Center | Albuquerque, NM www.swtxpca.org Photo Credits: The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe, New Mexico Taken by Phil Heldrich, February, 2010 “ Foods & Culture(s) in a Global Context” Southwest Texas Welcome Message: Bienvenido a Albuquerque! Welcome to the 33rd Annual Southwest/Texas Popular/American Culture Association Conference! We’ve returned “home” to Albuquerque following our joint 2011 meeting in San Antonio with the National PCA/ACA, and while it’s always enjoyable to visit Texas, it’s certainly good to be back in New Mexico. Thank you for joining us for this week. This year, our organization is honoring one notable group of scholars and two remarkable individuals. Our theme for 2012 is “Celebrating Food and Culture(s) in a Global Context,” and Albuquerque is an ideal place to experience Southwest cuisine at its finest. In addition to the many Food and Culture Area panels, many of our Subject Areas have organized sessions and events that focus on food and culture, and you are invited to participate in a “Taste of Old Town” on Saturday afternoon as well. Since we last met in Albuquerque in 2010, our organization has experienced the loss of Executive Director Phil Heldrich and longtime conference organizer and supporter Susan Rollins. We will be celebrating their lives and work at a luncheon on Friday, and if you had the pleasure of knowing or working with either Phil or Susan, we would encourage you to join us in remembering them at this time.
