La littérature sur Ian Fleming et son personnage fétiche est tellement abondante qu'elle mérite une partie distincte. Sauf rares exceptions portant spécifiquement et uniquement sur le genre, cette compilation ne recense pas les thèses et mémoires, ni les monographies de cinéastes comme Hitchcock et cie qui ont tourné toutes sortes de films.

  • James Bond a 50 The
    JAMES BOND: SIGNIFYING CHANGING IDENTITY THROUGH THE COLD WAR AND BEYOND By Christina A. Clopton Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations and European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Masters of Arts Supervisor: Professor Alexander Astrov CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2014 Word Count: 12,928 Abstract The Constructivist paradigm of International Relations (IR) theory has provided for an ‘aesthetic turn’ in IR. This turn can be applied to popular culture in order to theorize about the international system. Using the case study of the James Bond film series, this paper investigates the continuing relevancy of the espionage series through the Cold War and beyond in order to reveal new information about the nature of the international political system. Using the concept of the ‘empty signifier,’ this work establishes the shifting identity of James Bond in relation to four thematic icons in the films: the villains, locations, women and technology and their relation to the international political setting over the last 50 years of the films. Bond’s changing identity throughout the series reveals an increasingly globalized society that gives prominence to David Chandler’s theory about ‘empire in denial,’ in which Western states are ever more reluctant to take responsibility for their intervention abroad. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgements I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Professor Alexander Astrov for taking a chance with me on this project and guiding me through this difficult process. I would also like to acknowledge the constant support and encouragement from my IRES colleagues through the last year.

  • Representations of Masculinity in Selected 21 Century Children's Texts
    AT THE CROSSING-PLACES: REPRESENTATIONS OF MASCULINITY IN SELECTED 21st CENTURY CHILDREN’S TEXTS by Janice Robertson submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE & PHILOSOPHY in Theory of Literature PhD (Lan Lin & Lit) at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: Prof. R.A. Northover June 2019 1 For my boys Brandon, Michael and Gareth 10 years later 2 I am a growing teen who reads, I wonder about love, I hear my bones stretching, I see a young man brewing, I want to thrive in life, I am a growing teen who reads.

Brandon, age 12 3 ABSTRACT AT THE CROSSING-PLACES: REPRESENTATIONS OF MASCULINITY IN SELECTED 21ST CENTURY CHILDREN’S TEXTS by Janice Robertson Supervisor : Prof. R.A. Northover Department : Theory of Literature This study explores the representations of masculinity in selected contemporary children’s adventure literature. According to John Stephens (2002:x), a problem for boys, both in narrative fictions and in the world, is that hegemonic masculinity ‘appears simultaneously to propose a schema for behaviour and to insist on their subordination as children, to conflate agency with hegemonic masculinity, and to disclose that, for them, such agency is illusory’.

  • 'His Name's Bond ... James Bond'
    1 Read and listen to the article. ‘His name’s Bond ... James Bond’ Who created the character of James Bond? The British writer Ian Fleming created James Bond in his 1953 novel Casino Royale. He wrote a series of books about the secret agent between 1953 and 1966. The books have sold more than 18 million copies around the world in many different languages. Who does James Bond work for? Bond works for MI6, the British Secret Services. His colleagues at MI6 don’t have names – they have letters. M is Bond’s boss and Q develops high-tech devices. What is James Bond’s code number? His code number is 007. In the first novel, Casino Royale, Bond kills two spies. The prefix 00 represents these two assassinations. Since then Bond has killed more than 150 villains! © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE How does he defeat his enemies? His enemies are super-villains who want to control the world. Bond uses his intelligence, athleticism and high-tech weapons and devices. In the early stories these were guns or explosives that looked like everyday objects (a watch or a pen, for example). In later stories, the devices became more sophisticated and included x-ray glasses and a jetpack that he wore on his back to fly. In Die Another Day his favourite Aston Martin car became invisible! How many James Bond films have there been? There have been 22 official James Bond films. The first film was Dr No in 1962. It starred Sean Connery as Bond. The Bond films are the second most successful series of films in the history of cinema.

  • Imperial Nostalgia: Victorian Values, History and Teenage Fiction in Britain
    RONALD PAUL Imperial Nostalgia: Victorian Values, History and Teenage Fiction in Britain In his pamphlet, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, on the seizure of French government power in 1851 by Napoleon’s grandson, Louis, Karl Marx makes the following famous comment about the way in which political leaders often dress up their own ideological motives and actions in the guise of the past in order to give them greater historical legitimacy: The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living. And just when they seem engaged in revolutionizing themselves and things, in creating something that has never yet existed, precisely in such periods of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service and borrow from them names, bat- tle-cries, and costumes in order to present the new scene of world history in this time-honoured disguise and this borrowed language.1 One historically contentious term that has been recycled in recent years in the public debate in Britain is that of “Victorian values”. For most of the 20th century, the word “Victorian” was associated with negative connotations of hypercritical morality, brutal industrial exploitation and colonial oppression. However, it was Mrs Thatcher who first gave the word a more positive political spin in the 1980s with her unabashed celebration of Victorian laissez-faire capitalism and patriotic fervour. This piece of historical obfuscation was aimed at disguising the grim reality of her neoliberal policies of economic privatisation, anti-trade union legislation, cut backs in the so-called “Nanny” Welfare State and the gunboat diplomacy of the Falklands War.
