  • Red Dragon, the Cleft-Lip, and the Politics of Recognition
    The Monster Without: Red Dragon, the Cleft-Lip, and the Politics of Recognition Timothy D. Harfield Rarely represented in popular film, the cleft lip and palate is more often than not used as the locus of some kind of monstrosity. Of films featuring characters affected by cleft lip and palate, for example, at least five figure them as agents of violence or death. From the school bully,1 to a hired killer,2 to a serial killer,3 to a zombie,4 it is common to use the cleft lip as a cue for menace, or as a thing to be feared. On the other side of violence, the recent film Psycho Beach Party5 features a young girl with a cleft lip as the first to be killed by a serial killer targeting youth with disabilities. Even the Swedish film Den Enfoldige Mördaren,6 or "The Simple-minded Murderer," acclaimed for the sympathetic portrayal of its protagonist, features a killer with a cleft lip. Following in this tradition, the recent film Red Dragon7 features a serial killer whose cleft lip is the primary factor motivating his murderous behaviour. Although the film initially capitalizes upon the tradition of linking cleft lip and palate with homicidal psychopathy, however, it does so through a keen awareness of the politics of identity formation, and so has the effect of ultimately shifting the locus of monstrosity away from the cleft lip, and toward those social systems of 1 Frank Whaley, Joe the King (USA: Lions Gate, 1999), videorecording. 2 Frank Tuttle, This Gun for Hire (USA: Universal Studios, 1942), videorecording.

HANNIBAL "The Great Red Dragon" TEASER SURFACE OF A DESERT PLANET A craggy, dry, arid landscape. Patterned ridges alternate with troughs as deep as canyons. A sense of aridness and desolation. It feels a thousand years old. CAMERA VERY SLOWLY PULLS OUT, moving upward, revealing this is no landscape... as the ridges resolve into -- THE CREASED SKIN OF A MAN'S KNUCKLE. PULL EVEN FURTHER OUT, and the back of a hand comes into view. The hand rests on a Formica table, beside a magazine. It is a strong, well-formed hand. But not a young one. Every wrinkle and crease is detailed in CRISP FOCUS. To look on this hand is to be aware of its age, its imperfections. Now reveal the man staring down at it -- its owner: FRANCIS DOLARHYDE. Dolarhyde, early 40s, is a large man, strong, muscular. With a hint of vulnerability and diffidence. The look in his eyes as he gazes down at that hand -- as if suddenly really seeing it for the first time -- might be mournful, fearful or both.

  • Glastonbury Companion
    John Cowper Powys’s A Glastonbury Romance: A Reader’s Companion Updated and Expanded Edition W. J. Keith December 2010 . “Reader’s Companions” by Prof. W.J. Keith to other Powys works are available at: http://www.powys-lannion.net/Powys/Keith/Companions.htm Preface The aim of this list is to provide background information that will enrich a reading of Powys’s novel/ romance. It glosses biblical, literary and other allusions, identifies quotations, explains geographical and historical references, and offers any commentary that may throw light on the more complex aspects of the text. Biblical citations are from the Authorized (King James) Version. (When any quotation is involved, the passage is listed under the first word even if it is “a” or “the”.) References are to the first edition of A Glastonbury Romance, but I follow G. Wilson Knight’s admirable example in including the equivalent page-numbers of the 1955 Macdonald edition (which are also those of the 1975 Picador edition), here in square brackets. Cuts were made in the latter edition, mainly in the “Wookey Hole” chapter as a result of the libel action of 1934. References to JCP’s works published in his lifetime are not listed in “Works Cited” but are also to first editions (see the Powys Society’s Checklist) or to reprints reproducing the original pagination, with the following exceptions: Wolf Solent (London: Macdonald, 1961), Weymouth Sands (London: Macdonald, 1963), Maiden Castle (ed. Ian Hughes. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 1990), Psychoanalysis and Morality (London: Village Press, 1975), The Owl, the Duck and – Miss Rowe! Miss Rowe! (London: Village Press, 1975), and A Philosophy of Solitude, in which the first English edition is used.
