  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • Professor John P. Bakke
    Men at War: Early Lessons at "The Town" Professor John P. Bakke Last spring I finally got the courage to teach a seminar in rhetoric and popular war films, especially those made during or shortly after World War II. As the bombing of Pearl Harbor is my earliest memory, I was literally weaned on such movies and made no distinction between what I saw on the screen and the war itself. Like Jeanine Basinger confesses in the introduction to her admirable study of World War II combat films, I expected the enemy in my backyard everyday. Why? In her words, "I went to the movies . .. and God knows, there they were."1 Oh, I remember blackouts, shortages, and rationing. And I remember neighbors going to war and occasional talk of someone not coming home. But those memories are no more real to me than those black and white images I saw in the Town Theatre in Waukon, Iowa. I never had any interest in the history of any war. I don't care if there was or was not a "Tanaka Plan." I don't care what the real turning point was in "The Battle of the Bulge" or even if Der Feuhrer is alive and well and living in Argentina. I care about war "films" because I learned from them values, senses of right and wrong, and notions about patriotism and freedom and courage and manliness. They placed images in my head of strange looking people from such far away places as Brooklyn and Tennessee, England and France, and, oh yes, from Germany and Japan.

AMERICAN FILM English language film with significant creative and/or production elements from the United States. Additionally, only feature-length American films released before January 1, 2005 will be considered. CHEERS Movies that inspire with characters of vision and conviction who face adversity and often make a personal sacrifice for the greater good. Whether these movies end happily or not, they are ultimately triumphant – both filling audiences with hope and empowering them with the spirit of human potential.

And though the ex­ istence of the road has long been acknowledged, a substan­ tial part of that theatre history--made when the theatre’s most important personalities in their original roles were criss-crossing America--still remains to be written. In the professional theatre of the nineteen sixties the road is confined to a relatively small group of larger cities privileged to view Broadway successes and mediocrities Columbus, Ohio is one of these cities. Over the years Columbus has had many legitimate playhouses (Market House, Comstock's Theatre, The Great Southern Theatre), but the Hartman Theatre, since its opening in 1911, has been the busiest and most important theatre in central Ohio. From its opening until the present except for a period of dark­ ness between 1963 and 1964, the Hartman has made profes­ sional theatre available to Ohio audiences.
