Lähdekirjallisuudesta kerättyä tietoa käsiteltiin tutkielman teoriaosuudessa, minkä jälkeen empiirinen osuus selvitti, kuinka kyseisiä menetelmiä sovelletaan käytännössä nykyenglannissa. Tämän selvittämiseksi käytiin manuaalisesti läpi korpusaineisto, joka koostui isobritannialaisen Total Film -elokuvalehden yhden vuoden aikana julkaistuista numeroista. Elokuvajournalismissa käytettävä kieli valittiin tutkimuksen kohteeksi kirjoittajan henkilökohtaisen kiinnostuksen vuoksi sekä siksi, että elokuva on paitsi merkittävä, myös jatkuvasti kehittyvä taiteen ja populaarikulttuurin muoto. Niinpä tämän tutkielman tarkoitus on myös tutustuttaa lukija sellaiseen sanastoon, jota alaa käsittelevä lehdistö nykypäivänä Isossa-Britanniassa käyttää.

    SCREENING RACE ALEXANDRA MCCALLA The “hood” spaces of South Central in Los Angeles and — North Kensington in West London—known as Grove, Boyz n the Hood (1991) short for the area’s main road Ladbroke Grove—both Kidulthood (2006) experienced an influx of black migrant workers in the first half of the 20th century. The films Boyz n the Hood (1991) and Kidulthood (2006) explore the current problems of the South Central and Grove hoods respectively, while presenting the effects of the historical construction of these spaces. Both are written and directed by black men, set and shot in the areas in which they grew up, John Singleton’s Boyz n the Hood (Boyz) and Noel Clarke’s Kidulthood intimately reveal the nuances of their hoods. Through analysing the two hood films’ depiction of race and space, the socio-economic effects on race relations in London and LA can be examined. The “Great Migration” in the US, out of the South from 1910-1930, due to obtainable wealth in factory jobs, caused a shift in the African American identity; black people were not simply associated with the South’s con- 4 notations of slavery.

Edwards University of Western Ontario Abstract No abstract provided. Keywords African-American cinema, Hughes Brothers, Allen Hughes, Albert Hughes, hood film Recommended Citation Edwards, Timothy J. (2011) "Realer than Reel: Menace II Society and the 1990’s Hood Film Cycle," Kino: The Western Undergraduate Journal of Film Studies: Vol. 2 : Iss. 1 , Article 3. Edwards: Realer than Real Realer than Reel: Menace II Society and the 1990s Hood Film Cycle by Timothy J. Edwards The convergence of numerous industrial and social factors in the late 1960s saw Hollywood studios for the first time invest in films produced with African-Americans as the target audience. This wave of Black-focused product eventually became known as ‘Blaxploitation’ Cinema. Blaxploitation films use cinematic devices like: location shooting, hand held camera, and sync-sound along with a showcasing of distinctly Black cultural imagery, featuring urban fashion, slang, Black nationalist politics, and of course Black popular music to create a Black ghetto chronotope which is common to all Blaxploitation films (Massood 117). While the Black ghetto chronotope has its roots in Blaxploitation, it has since become an important tool which New Black Cinema directors like the Hughes brothers further develop to depict the streets of Watts with a sharp and uncompromising sense of realism. Allen and Albert Hughes spoke of being “outraged by the Hollywood sentimentality” of the hugely successful Boyz n the Hood (1991), which was released two years before Menace II Society (1993) (Massood 162).
