  • (POST)COLONIAL AFRICA by Katherine Lynn Coverdale the F
    ABSTRACT AN EXPLORATION OF IDENTITY IN CLAIRE DENIS’ AND MATI DIOP’S (POST)COLONIAL AFRICA by Katherine Lynn Coverdale The focus of this thesis is aimed at two female French directors: Claire Denis and Mati Diop. Both auteurs utilize framing to create and subsequently break down ideological boundaries of class and race. Denis’ films Chocolat and White Material show the impossibility of a distinct identity in a racialized post-colonial society for someone who is Other. With the help of Laura Mulvey and Richard Dyer, the first chapter of this work on Claire Denis offers a case study of the relationship between the camera and race seen through a deep analysis of several sequences of those two films. Both films provide an opportunity to analyze how the protagonists’ bodies are perceived on screen as a representation of a racial bias held in reality, as seen in the juxtaposition of light and dark skin tones. The second chapter analyzes themes of migration and the symbolism of the ocean in Diop’s film Atlantique. I argue that these motifs serve to demonstrate how to break out of the identity assigned by society in this more modern post-colonial temporality. All three films are an example of the lasting violence due to colonization and its seemingly inescapable ramifications, specifically as associated with identity.

  • Blackbourn Veronica a 20101
    The Beloved and Other Monsters: Biopolitics and the Rhetoric of Reconciliation in Post-1994 South African Literature by Veronica A. Blackbourn A thesis submitted to the Department of English Language and Literature In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‘s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (December, 2010) Copyright © Veronica A. Blackbourn, 2010 Abstract This dissertation examines the use of inter-racial relationships as emblems of political reconciliation in South African fiction from and about the transition from apartheid to democracy. Positive representations of the relationships that apartheid prohibited would seem to constitute a rejection of apartheid itself, but through an analysis of novels by Lewis DeSoto, Elleke Boehmer, Zoë Wicomb, Marlene van Niekerk, Ivan Vladislavić, and J.M. Coetzee, I argue that the trope of the redemptive inter-racial relationship in fact reinscribes what Foucault would designate a biopolitical obsession with race as a foundational construct of the nation. Chapter 2 examines an attempt to write against the legacy of apartheid by repurposing the quintessentially South African genre of the plaasroman, but Lewis DeSoto‘s A Blade of Grass (2003) fails to reverse the narrative effects created by the plaasroman structure, implicated as the plaasroman is and has been in a biopolitical framework. Chapter 3 examines Elleke Boehmer‘s rewriting of South African history to insist on the genealogical ―truth‖ of the racial mixing of the country and its inhabitants, but Bloodlines (2000) yet retains the obsession with racial constructs that it seeks to dispute. Zoë Wicomb‘s Playing in the Light (2006), meanwhile, invokes genealogical ―truth‖ as a corrective to apartheid constructions of race, but ultimately disallows the possibility of genealogical and historical narratives as correctives rather than continuations of apartheid.

  • Festival Review 72Nd Festival De Cannes Finding Faith in Film
    Joel Mayward Festival Review 72nd Festival de Cannes Finding Faith in Film While standing in the lengthy queues at the 2019 Festival de Cannes, I would strike up conversations with fellow film critics from around the world to discuss the films we had experienced. During the dialogue, I would express my interests and background: I am both a film critic and a theologian, and thus intrigued by the rich connections between theology and cinema. To which my interlocutor would inevitably raise an eyebrow and reply, “How are those two subjects even related?” Yet every film I saw at Cannes somehow addressed the question of God, religion or spirituality. Indeed, I was struck by how the most famous and most glamorous film festival in the Western world was a God-haunted environ- ment where religion was present both on- and off-screen. As I viewed films in competition for the Palme d’Or, as well as from the Un Certain Regard, Direc- tors’ Fortnight and Critics’ Week selections, I offer brief reviews and reflections on the religious dimension of Cannes 2019.1 SUBTLE AND SUPERFLUOUS SPIRITUALITY Sometimes the presence of religion was subtle or superfluous. For example, in the perfectly bonkers Palme d’Or winner, Gisaengchung (Parasite, Bong Joon- Ho, KR 2019), characters joke about delivering pizzas to a megachurch in Seoul. Or there’s Bill Murray’s world-weary police officer crossing himself and exclaim- ing (praying?), “Holy fuck, God help us” as zombie hordes bear down on him and Adam Driver in The Dead Don’t Die (Jim Jarmusch, US 2019).

  • Mark Kermode's Best Films of 2019
    Mark Kermode’s best films of 2019 @KermodeMovie - The Guardian Sun 29 Dec 2019 06.00 GMTLast modified on Tue 31 Dec 2019 15.51 GMT 2019 was the year that Netflix movies came of age, and ageing actors were made young again. At the 91st Oscars in February, the bland Green Book beat the superior BlackKklansman to the best picture award, although Spike Leewon his first competitive Oscar in the adapted screenplay category. Rami Malik scooped best actor for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, but best actress Olivia Colman (The Favourite) stole the evening with one of the funniest and most self- deprecating acceptance speeches ever (complete with raspberry-blowing). More significantly, Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma won for cinematography, direction and best foreign language film, despite naysayers’ complaints that Netflix-backed movies were essentially made-for-TV films. That attitude is now history: in the forthcoming awards season, the platform has several contenders, including Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story and Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman. The Irishman marked a watershed moment for “digital de-ageing”, with innovative technology allowing Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci to play characters much younger than themselves. We’ve seen de-aging elsewhere (from Captain Marvel to Gemini Man), but never this unobtrusively. Alongside the release of its first original animated feature, Sergio Pablos’s Klaus, Netflix also picked up distribution rights for I Lost My Body, which made history when it took the top prize in the Critics’ Week section at Cannes in May. More family-friendly releases – Frozen II, Toy Story 4 and a weirdly photorealist rehash of The Lion King – may have dominated the box office in 2019, but I Lost My Body was my favourite animated film of the year.

  • The Method of Abjection in Mati Diop's Atlantics Olajide Salawu
    The Method of Abjection in Mati Diop’s Atlantics Olajide Salawu The menace of migration in the Mediterranean Sea caught the world’s attention in 2013 after 366 Africans were caught in a Lampedusa-bound voyage of catastrophe. Ever since, the phenomenon has received more attention than ever before, and many critics have described the media response towards the event as alarmist in constructing the identity of the migrants as invaders, and the epiphenomenon that follows – the censorious and protectionist angst of Europeans.1 The event also hurled forward the horrors of crossing the Saharan desert, and the slave bazaar of black migrants who perceive Europe as an insignia of hope. One of the most eloquent and poetic responses to this event is Josue Guebo’s Think of Lampedusa, a serial poem that historicises the violence and trauma, modern slavery and the looking askance of the European in the wake of this trajectory. Beginning from a confessional angle, the Ivorian poet’s persona intones: ‘I will tell you for the last time/my history, my wave.’2 This former intention, it seems, has gained a late response in Mati Diop’s 2019 film Atlantics (Atlantique in the original). As a filmic reply to the predicament of irregular migration from postcolonial Senegal, Atlantics is a landmark achievement by an auteur with an outstanding cinematic vision. Diop’s imaginative fecundity was already evident in her earlier film, Mille Soleils, and Atlantics announced her as an artist with a clear political, economic and social consciousness.
