The Doctor Is in (Wales) AUGUST 2021 The Doctor is In (Wales) hen a sleepy 1960s Welsh mining town’s only doctor dies, the only replacement the union representative could find arrives, straight from India. Dr. Prem Sharma (Sanjeev Bhaskar, Yesterday; Unforgotten) is better educated and more cultured than anyone they know, friendly, and eager to help the community. However, his regal wife Kamini (Ayesha Dharker, Outsourced; Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones) would much prefer the lavish lifestyle of London. Without the dozen or so servants the couple had back in Delhi, Kamini has to figure out the kitchen… and as such is determined to leave the sleepy coal-mining town as soon as possible. WThe Indian Doctor interjects comedy with heavier themes like fitting in, overcoming prejudices and demonstrating courage in the face of possible ruin. Critics can’t stop themselves from binging the British drama. Paste Magazine notes, “it’s got a really good personality,” and comments on how the main characters are exceptionally charming: “Dharker is totally amazing—by turns snobbish and engaging, vivacious and resentful, steely and vulnerable. Bhaskar is a perfect foil, combining a relentless optimism with some deeply buried and potentially explosive inner pain.” The first season revolves around seemingly friendly colliery manager Richard Sharpe, and his dark secrets that were detailed in the deceased doctor’s diaries. With access to that evidence, Prem becomes determined to reveal the truth, as he and Kamini quickly become embroiled in the lives of the villagers. Can’t wait for the weekly release of each episode? All three seasons of The Indian Doctor are now streaming exclusively in SERIES AIRS TUESDAYS AT 8PM BEGINNING WLIW21 Passport.

Vigil A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor Philip J. Deloria, Chair Professor June M. Howard Professor Magdalena J. Zaborowska Assistant Professor Matthew M. Briones, University of Chicago © Kiara M. Vigil 2011 For my father, an intellectual and an artist: R. Max Vigil (1938-2006) ii Acknowledgements I could never have completed a project such as this without a tremendous amount of scholarly and personal support from other people. In particular, I am grateful for the presence of the Program in American Culture’s ever resourceful and sanguine Director, Gregory E. Dowd, and the administrative staff: Judy Gray, Mary Freiman, Tabby Rohn, Brook Posler, and Marlene Moore. In fact, Marlene, I know that I am not alone in saying that although I cannot begin to comprehend the magnitude of all that you know and do for graduate students in American Culture I have never been without an answer to an important question and a feeling of security because I have always had you there to rely on. As others have said before me, Marlene is simply the best. In addition to those I name in the pages that follow I would like to thank, more broadly, all the graduate students and faculty from American Culture at the University of Michigan for their inspiring work, and their tireless commitment to research in Ethnic Studies and American Studies.

  • The Representation of the Ku Klux Klan in Mainstream American Cinema (1988-2016)
    The Representation of the Ku Klux Klan in Mainstream American Cinema (1988-2016) Thesis Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Philip Wintle MA, AFHEA Department of History of Art and Film University of Leicester September 2019 Phil Wintle The Representation of the Ku Klux Klan in Mainstream American Cinema (1988- 2016) The Ku Klux Klan are America’s most notorious terrorist organisation. In the 1920s membership to the Klan numbered several million, partly resulting from the success of The Birth of a Nation (1915). In this period of Klan popularity, Hollywood utilised their iconography for box office success. In the contemporary age Klan membership has diminished, yet the Klan image continues to be regularly depicted in American film. My research assesses the function of the Klan in contemporary cinema, looking at their representation between 1988 and 2016 to explain the longevity of their depiction in a period of social irrelevance. The shifting representation of the Klan offers a unique case study in demonstrating the changing attitudes Hollywood has to race and racism. In this thesis, I argue that the Klan have been used in films to paradoxically downplay issues of racism. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Klan were presented as a white ‘Other’ to whom racism is isolated. This ‘Othering’ drives melodramatic narratives of white conflict in films such as Mississippi Burning (1988) and A Time to Kill (1996). The melodramatic simplicity of the Klan image is later accentuated in comedy films between 1999 and 2013. The comedic depiction of the Klan has often been ignored in existing literature on the Klan’s representation in film; this is a significant oversight, as comedy has kept the Klan image within public consciousness during this period.

    DOI: 10.2478/v10319-012-0003-1 ORIENTALISING THE OCCIDENT? PORTRAYALS OF THE WELSH IN ‘THE INDIAN DOCTOR’ CATHERINE MACMILLAN Yeditepe University, Istanbul Email: [email protected] Abstract: This paper seeks to analyse the portrayal of the Welsh characters in the popular 2010 BBC television comedy drama The Indian Doctor Keywords: celticism, India, Orientalism, postcolonialism 1. Introduction This paper seeks to analyse the portrayal of the Welsh characters in the popular 2010 BBC television comedy drama The Indian Doctor. The series, which is set in the 1960s focuses on the experiences of an Indian doctor and his wife in the Welsh mining village of Trefelin. It is argued here that, perhaps surprisingly, it is the Welsh, rather than the Indian characters, who are primarily Orientalised in the series. Orientalist-type attitudes to the Welsh have, however, a long history, with roots stretching at least as deep as the twelfth century, and can best be understood in the context of a broader Celtic Orientalism, or Celticism, focused on the countries of the so-called ‘Celtic Fringe’ of the Western British Isles, encompassing Ireland and Scotland as well as Wales. Such attitudes both villianised and romanticised the Welsh, portraying them as rural, backward, passionate and depraved, in contrast to the supposedly urban, modern, rational and sophisticated English. These stereotypes, as this paper aims to emphasise in the case of The Indian Doctor, have survived into the twenty-first century in film and television portrayals of Welsh characters. 2. The Welsh as ‘Other’: Quasi-Orientalist Images of a (Supposedly) Celtic People The application of Orientalist-type discourse to the Welsh, one of the geographically most Occidental of European peoples may, at first sight, seem strange.

IN CONNECTION WITn AN EPITOME OF THE HISTORY OF THE I I TRIBE OF SHOSHONEES, AS WELL AS A HISTORY OF THE] GREAT SHOSHONEES REMEDY, WARRANTED TO MAKE A PERMANENT CURE OF ALL DISEASES OF THE THROAT, LUNGS, LIVER, KIDNEYS, DIGESTIVE ORGANS, &c. A3 WELL A! SCROFULA, THE VARIOUS SKIN DISEASES, HUMORS, AND ALL DISEASES ARISING FROM IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD, EXCEPTING THE THIRD STAGE OF CONSUMPTION. THE SHOSHONEES §EGETABLE RESTORATIVE PILLS OF THE CELEBRATED INDIAN DR. LEWIS JOSEPHUS. WARRANTED TO CONTAIN NOTHING BUT VEGETABLE, The3b Pills are prepared strictly in accordance with the Original Recipe and Instructions of the celebrated Indian Dr. Lewis Josephus, author of the Great Shoshonees Remedy; and as a gentle laxative is required during the use of the Remedy, they are designed to go with it, and assist in action. There is not a single ingredient in them but the very active principles, doubly refined and purified of vegetable preparations that are perfectly compatible with every ingredient entering into the composition of the Great Shoshonees Remedy. A3 these Pills are the only laxative compounded with a view of meeting in harmony, tho exigencies of the Great Shoshonees Remedy, we would strongly advise the afflicted taking the Remedy, by all means to use the Shoshonees Vegetable Restor- ative Pills. Any other Pill but the Shoshonees Pills are likely to interfere with, if not to destroy the good effects of the Remedy, but more particularly those which of necessity are put up in glass or crystal vials to protect them from the decomposing influence of the atmosphere are certain to destroy tho curative properties of the Great Shoshonee3 Remedy.
