  • 8 Redefining Zorro: Hispanicising the Swashbuckling Hero
    Redefining Zorro: Hispanicising the Swashbuckling Hero Victoria Kearley Introduction Such did the theatrical trailer for The Mask of Zorro (Campbell, 1998) proclaim of Antonio Banderas’s performance as the masked adventurer, promising the viewer a sexier and more daring vision of Zorro than they had ever seen before. This paper considers this new image of Zorro and the way in which an iconic figure of modern popular culture was redefined through the performance of Banderas, and the influence of his contemporary star persona, as he became the first Hispanic actor ever to play Zorro in a major Hollywood production. It is my argument that Banderas’s Zorro, transformed from bandit Alejandro Murrieta into the masked hero over the course of the film’s narrative, is necessarily altered from previous incarnations in line with existing Hollywood images of Hispanic masculinity when he is played by a Hispanic actor. I will begin with a short introduction to the screen history of Zorro as a character and outline the action- adventure hero archetype of which he is a prime example. The main body of my argument is organised around a discussion of the employment of three of Hollywood’s most prevalent and enduring Hispanic male types, as defined by Latino film scholar, Charles Ramirez Berg, before concluding with a consideration of how these ultimately serve to redefine the character. Who is Zorro? Zorro was originally created by pulp fiction writer, Johnston McCulley, in 1919 and first immortalised on screen by Douglas Fairbanks in The Mark of Zorro (Niblo, 1920) just a year later.

  • The Dramatic Space of Hamlet's Theatre
    Acta Universitatis Sapientiae, Philologica, 4, 1 (2012) 59-75 “The Play’s the Thing” The Dramatic Space of Hamlet’s Theatre Balázs SZIGETI Eötvös Loránd University Department of English Studies [email protected] Abstract. In my paper I investigate the use of the dramatic space in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The tragedy will be observed with the method of “pre-performance criticism,” which first and foremost makes use of the several potentials a play contains and puts on display before an actual performance; it offers, also in the light of the secondary literature, various ways of interpretation, resulting from the close-reading of the play and considers their possible realizations in the space of the stage both from the director’s and the actor’s point of view, including the consequences the respective lines of interpretation may have as regards the play as a whole. Hamlet does not only raise the questions of the theatrical realization of a play but it also reflects on the ontology of the dramatic space by putting the performance of The Mousetrap-play into one of its focal points and scrutinises the very interaction between the dramatic space and the realm of the audience. I will discuss the process how Hamlet makes use of his private theatre and how the dramatic space is transformed as The Murder of Gonzago turns into The Mousetrap-performance. Keywords: Hamlet; The Mousetrap; dramatic space; pre-performance criticism Shakespeare’s Hamlet1 does not only raise the questions of the theatrical realization of a play but it also reflects on the ontology of the dramatic space by putting the performance of The Mousetrap-play into one of its focal points and 1 In the present paper I quote the play according to the Norton Shakespeare edition (Greenblatt et.

  • The Historian-Filmmaker's Dilemma: Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210 Utgivna av Historiska institutionen vid Uppsala universitet genom Torkel Jansson, Jan Lindegren och Maria Ågren 1 2 David Ludvigsson The Historian-Filmmaker’s Dilemma Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius 3 Dissertation in History for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy presented at Uppsala University in 2003 ABSTRACT Ludvigsson, David, 2003: The Historian-Filmmaker’s Dilemma. Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius. Written in English. Acta Universitatis Upsalien- sis. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210. (411 pages). Uppsala 2003. ISSN 0081-6531. ISBN 91-554-5782-7. This dissertation investigates how history is used in historical documentary films, and ar- gues that the maker of such films constantly negotiates between cognitive, moral, and aes- thetic demands. In support of this contention a number of historical documentaries by Swedish historian-filmmakers Olle Häger and Hans Villius are discussed. Other historical documentaries supply additional examples. The analyses take into account both the produc- tion process and the representations themselves. The history culture and the social field of history production together form the conceptual framework for the study, and one of the aims is to analyse the role of professional historians in public life. The analyses show that different considerations compete and work together in the case of all documentaries, and figure at all stages of pre-production, production, and post-produc- tion. But different considerations have particular inuence at different stages in the produc- tion process and thus they are more or less important depending on where in the process the producer puts his emphasis on them.

  • Metacriticism in Salman Rushdie's Short Story Yorick*
    Hacettepe Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi Hacettepe University Journal of Faculty of Letters Cilt/Volume: 35 Sayı/Number:1 Haziran/June 2018 doi:10.32600/huefd.438142 Metacriticism in Salman Rushdie’s Short Story Yorick* Salman Rushdie’nin Yorick Adlı Kısa Öyküsünde Üsteleştiri Seda ARIKAN** Abstract Salman Rushdie is mostly known for his usage of new techniques especially those of postmodernism. In his short story collection East, West, besides many postmodern techniques such as pastiche, parody, and metafiction, his focus on metacriticism is apparent in the short story titled “Yorick”. Rushdie’s “Yorick” that is based on an invented story about the character Yorick, the dead clown whose skull Prince Hamlet handles and makes his famous speech in Hamlet, appears as an example of creative metacriticism that depicts the place and function of literary criticism in a fictional work. Referring to theoretical criticisms of Hamlet, such as psychoanalysis and social theories, Rushdie uses criticism of literary criticism in his short story “Yorick”. Thus, he adds his postmodern interpretation into the analyses of literary criticism since antiquity. This study will firstly focus on the theoretical background of metacriticism, in general, and creative metacritcism, in particular. Later on, it will try to find out the traces of creative metacriticism in Rushdie’s short story “Yorick” in which he also deals with metafiction, the role of the writer, the function of the reader, writer- critic-reader collaboration, the objectivity or subjectivity of literary criticism, creative writing or creative reading, and the truth in storytelling. Analysing how metacriticism operates in the story, finally Rushdie’s ideas on what literary criticism is and should be will be clarified.

  • Building Fences in Pantomime Performance in Malta by Marco Galea
    The Pantomime Other: Building Fences in Pantomime Performance in Malta by Marco Galea Introduction Malta is an island-state at the southern-most tip of Europe. Being roughly equidistant between Sicily to the north and Libya to the south, and because of a history that involved interactions with Europeans, Africans and people from the Near East, the Maltese could not easily be defined by foreigners who visited or settled on the island. Travel writings from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries show the struggle that their authors faced to describe the indigenous population; however, this quote from William Lithgow in 1612 is quite typical: The peasant or natural inhabitants are of the Affrican complexion, tanny and sun-burnt; and their language semblable to the Barbarian 1 speech. These rural Maltezes are extremely bent, in all their actions, either to good or evill wanting fortitude of minde, and civil discretion, they can not temper the violent humours of their passions, but as the headstrong tide, so their dispositions runne, in the superfluous excesse of affections. They follow the Romane Church, though ignorant of the way (quoted in Freller 2009, 403-405). European travellers and colonisers created a narrative that described the Maltese as non-European, or at best as a population inhabiting the extreme periphery of Europe and possessing only some qualities usually found in European communities. Throughout the centuries, the Maltese population, or at least that small part of the population that had access to education and had acquired 1 Presumably “Barbarian” refers to the languages spoken in the Maghreb region.

Kaplan* ABSTRACT In recent decades, studios that own film and television properties have developed business models that exploit the copyrights in those materials in every known market and in all currently conceivable forms of entertainment and merchandising. For the most part, uniform laws and parallel industry cultures permit smooth integration across formats. But theater is different. The work-made-for-hire provisions that allow corporations to function as the authors of the works they contract to create do not easily align with the culture and standard contract provisions of live theater. Conflicts arise when material that begins as a Hollywood property tries to make Carol M.

  • Jeffrey Hunter: Westerns All Over the World (English Translation) (Mobile
    JEFFREY HUNTER Westerns All Over the World lthough his gaze, so blue and so beautiful, earned him the honor Aof incarnating, in the spotlight, CHRIST in "KING OF KINGS", Jeffrey HUNTER is again just a man like the others and, as an ordinary mortal and a great actor, he has returned to the western. If we had to choose one of the most beautiful cowboys on the screen, it is to him that we would award the title. Because his clear face gives him an eternal youth, and at 40 he seems to be just thirty. Even younger. The most beautiful of the cowboys on the screen: JEFFREY HUNTER, whom John Ford directed in "The Searchers" and "Sergeant Rutledge," and who was also in "The Proud Ones" and played the hero of "Murieta" Forty years, however, is the most beautiful age for a man. Jeffrey knows it and benefits, at the moment, from this "coronation" as much in his private life as in his career. He is a happy man and a very busy actor. He has often made war films and police films. But it is, like many, in the western that he excels. He succeeded at it as a young actor, and he still succeeds at it today, more than ever, and all over the world. This is true because it is in SPAIN that the most recent one was made: CUSTER OF THE WEST, of which Robert SIODMAK is the director — a Super Technirama film in which Robert SHAW, Mary Ure, Robert Ryan and Ty Hardin star opposite Jeffrey.

  • Hamletmachine the Objective Real and the Subjective Fantasy
    Tom Wendt Copywrite ©2011 Hamletmachine: The Objective Real and the Subjective Fantasy Heiner Mueller’s play Hamletmachine focuses on Shakespeare’s Hamlet, especially on Hamlet’s relationship to the women in his life and his eventual mental break. It is a vivid interpretation of Hamlet’s desire to strip himself of his subjectivity and assert his being as an object, which alludes to questions of desire, objectivity, and the machine raised in Gilles Deleuze’s and Felix Guattari’s Anti-Oedipus. ‘The actor playing Hamlet,’ as he is referred to in the text, states his desire to symbolically shift from the status of body without organs to that of a machine, thus moving from a state of pure subjectivity to a state of pure objectivity. Toward the end of a long soliloquy, ‘the actor playing Hamlet’ professes his desire: “I want to be a machine” (Mueller, 146). This simple statement grounds the perspective of the entire play, as it incorporates the desire of ‘the actor playing Hamlet’ into one parsimonious utterance; but one must not mistake parsimony for simplicity, and interpret this statement as a straightforward wish to function as a machine. His statement has larger implications than a distraught individual lamenting his own loss by wishing for the cessation of pain. It speaks to an overarching existential question on the part of ‘the actor playing Hamlet:” Why must I be? To begin the analysis of this statement, it is necessary to examine the nature of the machine and how one becomes a machine. A machine is described as “a system of interruptions or breaks (coupures).
