  • Kord Myths 19Thc
    From the American Myth to the American Dream: Alternative Worlds in Recent Hollywood Westerns Susanne Kord, UCL ‘This is the West... When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.’ (Newspaper publisher Dutton Peabody in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, 1962) Abstract: This chapter analyzes two recent popular Westerns, Andrew Dominik’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) and Tommy Lee Jones’s The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005). In these films, the Western myth is replaced by a new myth, the ‘American Dream’, in which the lone legend is re-cast as family man and breadwinner. The old American frontier, as well, assumes a new dimension, moving from a utopian ‘frontier’ understood as the symbol of discovery, exploration, and Manifest Destiny, to a dystopian and defensive vision of a national border that must be protected against ‘illegals’. The chapter argues that Westerns, in offering themselves as alternative worlds to 2 American modernity, show that myths are difficult to let go of, particularly if the myth that replaces them is as inexpressibly dreary as the American Dream. Classic Westerns are America’s most enduring mythical genre. Like all good myths, they show us an alternative world, ‘a heroically decent America,’1 a world whose cowboys and gunslingers, sheriffs and bandits, prospectors and ranchers inhabit ‘a masculine world where men were men and women—on the rare occasions they appeared—seemed to like it that way.’2 Common consensus has declared this world to be either one of the past--a time of lawlessness, chaos, racism and the genocide of native Americans3—or mythical fiction—the time of Manifest Destiny, rugged individualism, romantic rides into stunning sunsets, and apolitical fireside chats.4 Neither its association with the past nor its reputation for peddling sentimental myths have particularly endeared the Western to scholars and critics.

  • Jack Wright and His Electric Stage
    Jack Wright And His Electric Stage By Luis Senarens Jack Wright AndHis Electric Stage CHAPTER I. THE BANDIT KING. As the 11:30 A. M. express train from New York was speeding toward the fisher village of Wrightstown, one of the passengers went out on the rear platform of the last car and intently gazed back along the rails. He was a compactly built man, with rather rough clothing on, and the soft felt hat on his head shaded a bearded face, which denoted a daring, reckless disposition. A half smothered oath escaped his lips as he caught view of a locomotive chasing the train he was on, for he distinctly saw a man in the cab whom he recognized as one of his worst enemies. "Sheriff Timberlake!" he growled between his clenched teeth, as a dark scowl mantled his brow. "Curse him! he is hot after us now, and if he overhauls this train he may give us no end of trouble." "The skunk has followed us all the way from Missouri, and after we saw the sights of New York, and gave him the slip, he must have discovered that we started for home in this train. Now he has evidently hired that locomotive to chase and capture us. I'll go in and tell the boys. We must keep out of his reach." His anxiety was caused by observing that the pursuing locomotive was slowly but surely gaining on the train. Opening the door, he passed into the car. It was occupied by four men, who were part of a gang of outlaws whom he commanded, for the bearded man was the notorious bandit king, Jesse James.

Examining their mutual celebration of popular culture, celebrity and social media, the aesthetics of surveillance emerge as defining features of their respective oeuvres. Beginning with a literature review of the changing modes and understandings of surveillance over recent decades, this paper goes on to explore how surveillance manifests in the personal lives and creative practices of both Andy Warhol and Ai Weiwei, albeit during different eras and through different cultural lenses. Warhol’s Factory studio where the eccentric and famous paraded before cameras constituted a kind of reality TV set decades before the concept would become mainstream, while Ai’s prolific social media existence that collapses together political activism with selfies-with-the-stars sees his entire life documented online. Both artists also attracted state surveillance. Warhol for his subversions of social conservatism through popular imagery, and Ai Weiwei for his antagonisms of the Chinese communist state. For both artists, surveillance develops to become a par- amount and existential concern. In tandem with this survey of the two artists is a broader discussion exploring how public perceptions of surveillance have evolved overtime.

We think of them waiting for the call to arms, Fighting to save their families and farms; We picture the furrow where the dropped plough lies, The women watching them go with quiet eyes. Is it because they died so many springs Ago that we forget the other things They did from day to day? They must have wept, Laughed, talked of the future. I think they kept Their dreams tended as gently as their corn, And planned great things for children yet unborn. And as I watch the spring unfold each year, I think that they held beauty almost as dear As freedom. The battle won, they heeded her command, And planted dogwood in their promised land.
