    “The Dead Man Touch’d Me From the Past”: Reading as Mourning, Mourning as Reading in A. S. Byatt’s ‘The Conjugial Angel’ Andrew Williamson (The University of Queensland, Australia) Abstract: At the centre of nearly every A. S. Byatt novel is another text, often Victorian in origin, the presence of which stresses her demand for an engagement with, and a reconsideration of, past works within contemporary literature. In conversing with the dead in this way, Byatt, in her own, consciously experimental, work, illustrates what she has elsewhere called “the curiously symbiotic relationship between old realism and new experiment.” This symbiotic relationship demands further exploration within Possession (1990) and Angels and Insects (1992), as these works resurrect the Victorian period. This paper examines the recurring motif of the séance in each novel, a motif that, I argue, metaphorically correlates spiritualism and the acts of reading and writing. Byatt’s literary resurrection creates a space in which received ideas about Victorian literature can be reconsidered and rethought to give them a new critical life. In a wider sense, Byatt is examining precisely what it means for a writer and their work to exist in the shadow of the ‘afterlife’ of prior texts. Keywords: A. S. Byatt, ‘The Conjugial Angel’, mourning, neo-Victorian novel, Possession , reading, séance, spiritualism, symbiosis. ***** Nature herself occasionally quarters an inconvenient parasite on an animal towards whom she has otherwise no ill-will. What then? We admire her care for the parasite. (George Eliot 1979: 77) Towards the end of A. S. Byatt’s Possession (1990), a group of academics is gathered around an unread letter recently exhumed from the grave of a pre-eminent Victorian poet, the fictional Randolph Henry Ash.

Buchanan Osgoode Hall Law School,York University Abstract The failures of Western law in its encounter with indigenous legal orders have been well documented, but alternative modes of negotiating the encounter remain under-explored in legal scholarship. The present article addresses this lacuna. It proceeds from the premise that the journey towards a different conceptualization of law might be fruitfully re-routed through the affect-laden realm of embodied experience – the experience of watching the subversive anti- western film Dead Man. Section II explains and develops a Deleuzian approach to law and film which involves thinking about film as ‘‘event.’’ Section III considers Dead Man’s relation to the western genre and its implications for how we think about law’s founding on the frontier.

  • American Independent Film Dead Man Production Timeline
    English 345: American Independent Film Dead Man Production Timeline Jim Jarmusch on independent film in the mid-1990s: “The whole idea of independent is very perplexing to me. I don't know what it means anymore. It used to be that small films could be made without a lot of money and therefore without as much interference from people who were interested solely in making money off the movie. There's a place for business in cinema. It is, to a large degree, business. Smaller films—which used to be called independent—used to be a place for people to express their ideas, and a lot of the strongest or newest ideas came from them. But, recently, I don't quite understand what it means anymore, because a lot of „independent‟ producers are interested in making a name for themselves—to get money to launch their careers. So, I see people making films for $500,000 with producers and people telling them to change the script, whom to cast and how to cut it and I don't understand what independent is any more. People who are called independent make films for large studios. Miramax—owned by Disney—which is going to release this film in North America is called an independent distribution company or production company. Consequently, I don't know what that word means any more.” “A Neo-Western on Life and Death.” Film International 3:4 (Autumn 1995). Reprinted in The Jim Jarmusch Resource Page. Production Timeline 1990: Jarmusch begins collaborating with novelist and screenwriter Rudy Wurlitzer on Western titled Ghost Dog.

    FILMING A MAKAH VILLAGE FOR JIM JARMUSCH' S DEAD MAN by TODD J. TUBUTIS BA.

Tubutis, 1998 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of Anthropology & Sociology The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date 6 August 1998 DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This thesis looks at ethnographic film using Jim Jarmusch's 1996 Dead Man as a "site." Dead Man's penultimate scene portrays a Northwest Coast village using Makah actors and Makah- made set pieces. The production of this scene provides a setting where mainstream American culture, represented by a Hollywood film crew, comes into contact with Makah culture in a collaborative filmmaking effort, making Dead Man a site of cultural negotiation and mediation. By contextualizing Dead Man with earlier films from the Northwest Coast by Edward S. Curtis and Franz Boas, by examining the film's production through the words of the participants, and by incorporating theoretical notions of contact zones, authenticity, and experience, the author gleans an understanding of the contemporary Makah experience of Dead Man.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
