He wrote a series of books about the secret agent between 1953 and 1966. The books have sold more than 18 million copies around the world in many different languages. Who does James Bond work for? Bond works for MI6, the British Secret Services. His colleagues at MI6 don’t have names – they have letters. M is Bond’s boss and Q develops high-tech devices. What is James Bond’s code number? His code number is 007. In the first novel, Casino Royale, Bond kills two spies. The prefix 00 represents these two assassinations. Since then Bond has killed more than 150 villains! © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE How does he defeat his enemies? His enemies are super-villains who want to control the world. Bond uses his intelligence, athleticism and high-tech weapons and devices. In the early stories these were guns or explosives that looked like everyday objects (a watch or a pen, for example). In later stories, the devices became more sophisticated and included x-ray glasses and a jetpack that he wore on his back to fly. In Die Another Day his favourite Aston Martin car became invisible! How many James Bond films have there been? There have been 22 official James Bond films. The first film was Dr No in 1962. It starred Sean Connery as Bond.

Six actors have played the part of James Bond in the films.The current Bond is English actor Daniel Craig, but most people’s favourite Bond is the original – Sean Connery. © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE.

James Bond a 50 The
JAMES BOND: SIGNIFYING CHANGING IDENTITY THROUGH THE COLD WAR AND BEYOND By Christina A. Clopton Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations and European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Masters of Arts Supervisor: Professor Alexander Astrov CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2014 Word Count: 12,928 Abstract The Constructivist paradigm of International Relations (IR) theory has provided for an ‘aesthetic turn’ in IR. This turn can be applied to popular culture in order to theorize about the international system. Using the case study of the James Bond film series, this paper investigates the continuing relevancy of the espionage series through the Cold War and beyond in order to reveal new information about the nature of the international political system. Using the concept of the ‘empty signifier,’ this work establishes the shifting identity of James Bond in relation to four thematic icons in the films: the villains, locations, women and technology and their relation to the international political setting over the last 50 years of the films. Bond’s changing identity throughout the series reveals an increasingly globalized society that gives prominence to David Chandler’s theory about ‘empire in denial,’ in which Western states are ever more reluctant to take responsibility for their intervention abroad. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgements I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Professor Alexander Astrov for taking a chance with me on this project and guiding me through this difficult process. I would also like to acknowledge the constant support and encouragement from my IRES colleagues through the last year.

Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL May 2019 Copyright 2019 by Grant C. Hester ii MALE BONDING: A QUEER ANALYSIS OF THE JAMES BOND CANON by Grant C. Hester This dissertation was prepared under the direction of the candidate's dissertation advisor, Dr. Jane Caputi, Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Communication, and Multimedia and has been approved by the members of his supervisory committee. It was submitted to the faculty of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and was accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Khaled Sobhan, Ph.D. Interim Dean, Graduate College iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jane Caputi for guiding me through this process. She was truly there from this paper’s incubation as it was in her Sex, Violence, and Hollywood class where the idea that James Bond could be repressing his homosexuality first revealed itself to me. She encouraged the exploration and was an unbelievable sounding board every step to fruition. Stephen Charbonneau has also been an invaluable resource. Frankly, he changed the way I look at film. His door has always been open and he has given honest feedback and good advice. Oliver Buckton possesses a knowledge of James Bond that is unparalleled. I marvel at how he retains such information.

James Bond 007 Analysis Codebook
1 James Bond 007 Analysis Codebook Kimberly A. Neuendorf, Ph.D. Patrika Janstova Sharon Snyder-Suhy Vito Flitt School of Communication, Cleveland State University & Thomas D. Gore, M.A. School of Communication Studies, Kent State University REVISED September 29, 2010 Unit of Data Collection: Each female character depicted in each Bond film who speaks in the film to any other character, or who does not speak but is introduced by another character, or who does not speak but is shown and referred to by another character, or is shown in close-up (i.e., head shot or head and shoulders shot), or engages in any codable sexual behavior, or experiences codable physical harm. When judging whether the female character speaks or is referred to, the coder must be able to both hear the female character and see that character’s mouth moving as she speaks, or must hear her name when she is introduced or referred to. In addition, only females that appear to be over the age of 18 will be coded (no teenagers or children). Other Coding Instructions: Do not code the opening or closing credits. For all coding, use only the information available to you as a viewer (i.e., do not use information you might have as a fan of Bond films, a fan of a particular actor, etc.). Code a female character’s use of weapons/target of weapons only from the point at which she becomes a codable character. That is, if early in the film, a group of undifferentiated (and uncodable) females are carrying guns, and then later one of them becomes codable because she kisses Bond, do not go back and code her earlier gun-carrying behavior.
