A3299-B4-2-4-002-Jpeg.Pdf RADIO FORTH "BETWEEN TEE COVERS" : BOOK REVIEW TITLE: DEATH IS PART OF THE PROCESS AUTHOR: HILDA BERNSTEIN PUBLISHER: SINCLAIR BROWNE PRICE: 2,7.95 TRANSMISSION DATE: 20.10.83 "Death, is Part of the Process" is a book about South Africa and its racial agony. It tells the story of a group of people, black and white, working together for a change, and finding themselves torn to pieces in the process. Ralph and Dick are white University teachers. Indres is Indian. Thebo is African. Their first aim is to move peacefully and democratically. But an exhibition they set up in the University is ripped to pieces. Special Branch men come and take their names. A protest march brings tanks out into the streets, people are injured, made homeless and imprisoned. Fear produces over-reaction and white South Africans are afraid. And so the group gives up on the law. "Tell them," says Ralph, the white lecturer, "Tell them we ’ve picked it clean, the democratic machinery. Tell them it's a dead-end - like people walking unarmed into gun-fire." And so, in despair, they turn to violence. They train amateurishly in sabotage. And, one by one, they're picked up by the police. Dick, the other lecturer/ RADIO FORTH " Q O i e t o f * - 2 - Dick, the other lecturer of the group, collaborates with his gaolers. Vila, the white girl from an expensive suburb, is pulled out by her father's string-pulling and packed off to Europe. Indres is beaten up, sentenced and then escapes. And Thebo is tortured to death. This is a book of complex threads. Each member of the group is followed by the story line and the plot is woven round the great question mark - How do you humanise a system that won 't be humanised? How much do you risk? How much do you back away from confrontation to save your family and loved ones? This is not a comfortable story. I found it painful to read, but it made me face the question of what it means to be human. I found myself wondering how many of us in this country would find tht courage to try and carry through change in a society to brutal to those who protest. Hilda Bernstein writes with great force and vividness, and her book won the Sinclair prize for fiction in 1982. I recommend it as an eye-opener to what life is like in a country where justice is exclusively for the pale-skinned. That's "Death is Part of the Process" by Hilda Bernstein, published by Sinclair Browne at seven pounds ninety five. _ S r d c u > .

While keeping up a fast pace. Hilda Bernstein skillfully develops her characters, whether they are Afrikaaner policemen, white Johannesburg liberals or Indian and African activists. Her evocations of South African life — a white family spending a Sunday by the swimming-pool, or an African on the run in a shanty-town like Soweto — are mar­ vellously convincing. In the early chapters some of the poli­ tical conversations are a little ingenuous, painting out the political colours by num­ bers and sending up smoke signals to the uninitiated reader. But Hilda Bernstein's grip on her theme, with courage stalked by betrayal, ensures that Death is Part of the Process is absorbing, moving and a testament to those still struggling against that tyrannv.

  • Monstrous Aunties: the Rabelaisian Older Asian Woman in British Cinema and Television Comedy
    Monstrous Aunties: The Rabelaisian older Asian woman in British cinema and television comedy Estella Tincknell, University of the West of England Introduction Representations of older women of South Asian heritage in British cinema and television are limited in number and frequently confined to non-prestigious genres such as soap opera. Too often, such depictions do little more than reiterate familiar stereotypes of the subordinate ‘Asian wife’ or stage the discursive tensions around female submission and male tyranny supposedly characteristic of subcontinent identities. Such marginalisation is compounded in the relative neglect of screen representations of Asian identities generally, and of female and older Asian experiences specifically, within the fields of Film and Media analysis. These representations have only recently begun to be explored in more nuanced ways that acknowledge the complexity of colonial and post-colonial discoursesi. The decoupling of the relationship between Asian and Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage, together with the foregrounding of religious rather than national-colonial identities, has further rendered the topic more complex. Yet there is an exception to this tendency. In the 1990s, British comedy films and TV shows began to carve out a space in which transgressive representations of aging Asian women appeared. From the subversively mischievous Pushpa (Zohra Segal) in Gurinder Chadha’s debut feature, Bhaji on the Beach (1993), to the bickering ‘competitive mothers’ of the ground-breaking sketch show, Goodness, Gracious Me (BBC 1998 – 2001, 2015), together 1 with the sexually-fixated grandmother, Ummi (Meera Syal), in The Kumars at Number 42 (BBC, 2001-6; Sky, 2014), a range of comic older female figures have overturned conventional discourses.

  • Anglo-Indian Visions of Empire, the Raj Revival, and the Literary Crafting of National Character
    Shadows of the Raj: Anglo-Indian Visions of Empire, the Raj Revival, and the Literary Crafting of National Character by GENEVIEVE GAGNE-HAWES B.A. Whitman College, 2003 M.A. New York University, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2012 © Genevieve Gagne-Hawes, 2012 i ABSTRACT In my dissertation, I argue for a relationship of influence between the authors of what I define as the Raj novel genre, or works by British writers who lived in India between 1858 and 1947 and produced novels set in that country, and authors of the so-called “Raj Revival” in 1970s and 1980s Great Britain. The latter encompasses bestselling, award-winning novels (M.M. Kaye’s The Far Pavilions, Paul Scott’s Raj Quartet; J.G. Farrell’s The Siege of Krishnapur, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Heat and Dust) and films (David Lean’s A Passage to India) that nostalgically revisit the Raj experience. Both movements claim ideal British character is manifested by Anglo- Indians, British persons living and working in India, who develop a series of exemplary character traits through the rigors of daily service in the subcontinent. In the Raj novel genre, this model of Anglo-Indian character—and the concurrent denigration of Indian character—is used as a strategy by which to elevate the nascent Anglo-Indian community. In the Raj Revival, the Raj novel genre’s ideals are deployed in support of the conservative shift that occurred during Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s tenure (1979-1990).

  • Projecting the Nation: Constructions of Scotland in Film Since 1979
    Projecting the Nation: Constructions of Scotland in Film Since 1979 Emily Torricelli PhD University of York Theatre, Film and Television January 2016 Abstract This thesis examines questions of the continued significance of national cinemas and identities, focussing on the case of Scottish cinema. As a small, devolved nation with relative autonomy from the United Kingdom, Scotland presents an interesting case for how films are labelled with a national identity, as Scottish films can also often be understood in a British, European, and even global context. Rather than attempting to construct a working model of Scottish cinema based on representation or production context, I ask how films have been constructed as Scottish. I approach the concepts of Scotland and Scottish film as sets of meanings that are subject to change over time and in different contexts. This facilitates a perspective which asks in what ways Scotland and Scottishness is constructed in film. I examine how multiple identities are balanced in the filmic construction of Scotland first by considering how Scottish films—both those made in and which are about Scotland—from the early 1980s to the present construct Scottish identities. I will consider the way these films explored ‘traditional’ Scottish identities in the 1980s, Scottish masculinity in the 1990s, and Scottish identities based on ethnicity and gender in the 2000s and 2010s. Second, I look at how these films are received as Scottish by examining reviews and other press materials to determine how the Scottishness

  • The Man Who Invented Christmas Pk
    THE MAN WHO INVENTED CHRISTMAS Directed by Bharat Nalluri Starring Dan Stevens, Christopher Plummer and Jonathan Pryce UK release date | 1st December 2017 Running time | 104 minutes Certificate | PG Press information | Saffeya Shebli | [email protected] | 020 7377 1407 1 OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS The Man Who Invented Christmas tells of the magical journey that led to the creation of Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. Directed by Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day), the film shows how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) mixed real life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure up unforgettable characters and a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today. LONG SYNOPSIS The bestselling writer in Victorian London sets out to revive his flagging career and reimagines Yuletide celebrations in The Man Who Invented Christmas, an entertaining and enchanting glimpse into the life and mind of master storyteller Charles Dickens as he creates the quintessential holiday tale, A Christmas Carol. After a string of successful novels, world-renowned writer Dickens (Dan Stevens) has had three flops in a row. With the needs of his burgeoning family and his own extravagance rapidly emptying his pockets, Dickens grows desperate for another bestseller. Tormented by writer’s block and at odds with his publishers, he grasps at an idea for a surefire hit, a Christmas story he hopes will capture the imagination of his fans and solve his financial problems. But with only six weeks to write and publish the book before the holiday, and without the support of his publishers – who question why anyone would ever read a book about Christmas – he will have to work feverishly to meet his deadline.

    REMINDER LIST FOR DISTINGUISHED ACHIEVEMENTS DURING 2012 REMINDER LIST OF PRODUCTIONS ELIGIBLE FOR AWARDS All films that have qualified for consideration for 2012 Academy Awards in the non-specialized categories are listed alphabetically by title. Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films. An exception to the above exists in the four Acting categories, where simply listing titles would not provide enough voting information. Actors Branch members filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for. For that reason, the Reminder List provides a listing of up to fifty cast members for each film. Pictures eligible in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film categories are also eligible in the Best Picture category, provided they meet the qualifications for the category. Foreign Language films are eligible for awards in other categories provided they meet the requirements of Awards Rules Two and Three.
