  • Appalling! Terrifying! Wonderful! Blaxploitation and the Cinematic Image of the South
    Antoni Górny Appalling! Terrifying! Wonderful! Blaxploitation and the Cinematic Image of the South Abstract: The so-called blaxploitation genre – a brand of 1970s film-making designed to engage young Black urban viewers – has become synonymous with channeling the political energy of Black Power into larger-than-life Black characters beating “the [White] Man” in real-life urban settings. In spite of their urban focus, however, blaxploitation films repeatedly referenced an idea of the South whose origins lie in antebellum abolitionist propaganda. Developed across the history of American film, this idea became entangled in the post-war era with the Civil Rights struggle by way of the “race problem” film, which identified the South as “racist country,” the privileged site of “racial” injustice as social pathology.1 Recently revived in the widely acclaimed works of Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained) and Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave), the two modes of depicting the South put forth in blaxploitation and the “race problem” film continue to hold sway to this day. Yet, while the latter remains indelibly linked, even in this revised perspective, to the abolitionist vision of emancipation as the result of a struggle between idealized, plaintive Blacks and pathological, racist Whites, blaxploitation’s troping of the South as the fulfillment of grotesque White “racial” fantasies offers a more powerful and transformative means of addressing America’s “race problem.” Keywords: blaxploitation, American film, race and racism, slavery, abolitionism The year 2013 was a momentous one for “racial” imagery in Hollywood films. Around the turn of the year, Quentin Tarantino released Django Unchained, a sardonic action- film fantasy about an African slave winning back freedom – and his wife – from the hands of White slave-owners in the antebellum Deep South.

  • BFI Poll Reveals UK's Favourite Black Star Performance
    BFI POLL REVEALS UK’S FAVOURITE BLACK STAR PERFORMANCE: SIDNEY POITIER AS “MISTER TIBBS” In the Heat of the Night Angela Bassett’s courageous portrayal of Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do with It voted as top performance by over 100 industry experts London: (embargoed until 16:30 BST) Thursday 20 October, 2016 – To mark this week’s official launch of its BLACK STAR season, the BFI announced today that Sidney Poitier’s critically-acclaimed and seminal performance as Detective Virgil Tibbs in In the Heat of the Night (dir. Norman Jewison, 1967) has been voted the public’s Favourite Black Star Performance in a poll which included 100 performances spanning over 80 years in film and TV. Running alongside the public poll, a separate poll of over 100 industry experts voted for Angela Bassett’s Oscar®- nominated performance as Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do with It (dir. Brian Gibson, 1993). UK Public Poll Pam Grier followed in second place with her terrific turn as the titular character in Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown – an homage to the 1970’s era of Blaxploitation films in America; Michael K. Williams was number three with his unforgettable portrayal of the legendary Omar Little, the openly gay, notorious stick-up man with a strict moral code feared by drug dealers across the city of Baltimore, in the socially and politically charged hit television series The Wire. British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor followed in fourth with his visceral portrayal of Solomon Northup, his break-out performance in Steve McQueen’s ground-breaking, Oscar®-winning true story, 12 Years A Slave; and Morgan Freeman rounded out the top five with his acclaimed, quiet and layered performance in Frank Darabont’s Oscar®-nominated cult classic, The Shawshank Redemption.

  • Year 11 History Extended Reading Recommendation Available from Wyvern Library Fiction Is More Than Just Story: by Reading the Fo
    Year 11 History Extended Reading Recommendation Available from Wyvern Library Fiction is more than just story: by reading the following novels you will have a greater understanding of the history you are studying at GCSE. WW2 Holocaust Adult fiction – challenging reads. Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky Nemirovsky was a Jewish Russian Émigré living in Paris. In 1941, when the Nazis began their occupation of France, she wrote Suite Francaise to portray the truth of what she was living through. It is written in two parts; the first is a candid portrayal of Parisians as they flee before the Nazi invasion, the second part follows the inhabitants of a small community as they try and live their lives under occupation. She died in Auschwitz in 1942. Schindler’s List by Thomas Keneally This is the true story of a German Businessman who saved the lives of many Jewish people by employing them in his factories. It is a harrowing read where we learn about life for Jews under Nazi rule. The Reader by Bernhard Schlink This book is about Germany’s past and present; it’s national guilt and how to come to terms with it. It involves a concentration camp guard who is standing trial for war crimes. In the public gallery is a student lawyer who had an affair with the defendant before she was a guard. The Siege by Helen Dunmore The Siege is the Siege of Leningrad which started in September 1941 and lasted for 900 days. It is a brilliantly imagined novel of war, but also of survival.

  • Not Black, Not Black Enough and Both Satirical Investigations of Race in Percival Everett’S Novels
    Not Black, Not Black Enough and Both Satirical Investigations of Race in Percival Everett’s Novels Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie am Fachbereich Philosophie und Geisteswissenschaften vorgelegt von Johannes Kohrs Berlin, 2020 Erstgutachterin: Prof. Dr. Ulla Haselstein Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Florian Sedlmeier Tag der Disputation: 19. Dezember 2018 Acknowledgements I dedicate this work to my wife Laura for her loving support throughout the tumultuous experience of writing this book. I would like to thank my family, my mom for introducing me to the world of music and art and my dad for putting a Baldwin in my hands when I was seventeen or so. This work would not have been possible without the critical feedback and generous encouragement of Ulla Haselstein. My sincere gratitude goes to her, Florian Sedlmeier and Anthony Stewart. Among those, who have profoundly contributed to this work with their critical comments and suggestions, I would like to thank Christa Buschendorf, Marie Moeller, Joe Weixlmann and Ramon Saldivar. Special thanks are due to Nic Lindenberg and Katharina Metz. Finally: a shout-out to the “radical cohort.” Six years ago, a friend of mine told me about a hysterical satire titled erasure that I really should read. I would like to thank Marlon Lieber, with whom this whole thing started, and Percival Everett, whose friendship is much more than a footnote in this critical endeavor.
