  • The Lady in the Van: and Other Stories Free
    FREE THE LADY IN THE VAN: AND OTHER STORIES PDF Alan Bennett | 240 pages | 01 Jan 2016 | Picador USA | 9781250089724 | English | United States The Lady in the Van () - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb Bennett concedes that "One seldom was able to do her a good turn without some thoughts of strangulation", but as the plastic bags build up, the years pass by and Miss Shepherd moves into Bennett's driveway, a relationship is established which defines a certain moment in late 20th-century London life which has probably gone forever. The dissenting, liberal, middle-class world of Bennett and his peers comes into hilarious but also telling collision with the world of Miss Shepherd: "there was a gap between our social position and our social obligations. It was in this gap that Miss Shepherd in her van was able to live". Bennett recounts Miss Shepherd's bizarre escapades in his inimitable style, from her letter to the Argentinean Embassy at the height of the Falklands War, to her attempts to stand for Parliament and wangle an electric wheelchair out of the Social Services. Beautifully observed, The Lady in the Van is as notable for Bennett's attempts to uncover the enigmatic history of Miss Shepherd, as it is for its amusing account of her eccentric escapades.

  • We Have a Dream from Recycled Bicycle Mudguards, Extinguished Matches and Clear Resin
    Our image for this year’s autumn lecture series is a little model boat. As you can probably see, it’s made out a piece of bent metal – in fact a bicycle mudguard -- and in it, held in glue at the bottom of the boat, stand a group of tightly packed matchsticks, each one of St Martin-in-the-Fields them burnt. The matchsticks give you the scale of the thing: this model is about the size of Autumn Lecture Series 2021 the paper boats that most of us made and played with when we were children. But this is not a toy. It was made by Issam Kourbaj, a Syrian artist who now lives in Britain, and it’s part of his reflection on the experience of the many millions of people all around the world who in recent years have had to flee from war, tyranny, famine and sickness – among them the hundreds of thousands who have tried to cross the Mediterranean – people who have occasionally, in the light of the European response, seemed to be just as disposable as spent matchsticks. In particular of course, Issam Kourbaj was thinking of the refugees displaced by the war in his homeland, Syria, which began almost exactly ten years ago, and where there is still no end in sight—to either the fighting or the fleeing. The matchsticks - the people - are huddled together, frightened, in a boat that is barely sea-worthy. Each single one of them bears the scars of what they are fleeing. They are all burnt: but they are none of them broken.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.
