Cultural Representations of the Moors Murderers and Yorkshire Ripper Cases
CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE MOORS MURDERERS AND YORKSHIRE RIPPER CASES by HENRIETTA PHILLIPA ANNE MALION PHILLIPS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages School of Languages, Cultures, Art History, and Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham October 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This thesis examines written, audio-visual and musical representations of real-life British serial killers Myra Hindley and Ian Brady (the ‘Moors Murderers’) and Peter Sutcliffe (the ‘Yorkshire Ripper’), from the time of their crimes to the present day, and their proliferation beyond the cases’ immediate historical-legal context. Through the theoretical construct ‘Northientalism’ I interrogate such representations’ replication and engagement of stereotypes and anxieties accruing to the figure of the white working- class ‘Northern’ subject in these cases, within a broader context of pre-existing historical trajectories and generic conventions of Northern and true crime representation. Interrogating changing perceptions of the cultural functions and meanings of murderers in late-capitalist socio-cultural history, I argue that the underlying structure of true crime is the counterbalance between the exceptional and the everyday, in service of which its second crucial structuring technique – the depiction of physical detail – operates. -

From Couper to Farmers' Cooperative
From couper to farmers’ cooperative: livestock fairs and markets in north-east Scotland from 1800 to 1900* livestock fairs and markets in north-east scotland by Richard Perren Abstract In 1800 local livestock fairs and markets in north-east Scotland were traditional open markets held at fixed times of the year. Their number increased in the first half of the nineteenth century as the region’s meat industry developed to supply the growing demand of the Scottish and English markets. After 1850 and the appearance of the railways the number of livestock markets grew further and localities competed with each other, sometimes fiercely, to capture the benefits of a new livestock market. These markets, where deals were made privately between individuals, were dominated by local butchers and livestock dealers. This changed from 1870 as open markets gave way to regular livestock auction markets (or marts) conducted by professional auctioneers. Farmers believed that auctions served their interests better than open markets as sales were conducted quickly and in greater comfort, and they could also judge whether buyers were competing fairly. Farmers from the north east became so enthusiastic about this form of sale that they took advantage of the nineteenth-century Company Acts to float their own joint stock limited auction companies, and also take over some of the existing family-run livestock auction markets. In spite of some opposition from butchers and cattle dealers, the auction markets were all very successful and by 1900 had largely replaced the traditional fairs and markets. Scotland in 1500 was a poor country with a small population and a backward, underdeveloped economy. -

The Judas Kiss Directed by Michael Michetti
Contact: Niki Blumberg, Tim Choy 323-954-7510 [email protected], [email protected] Boston Court Pasadena presents David Hare’s The Judas Kiss Directed by Michael Michetti February 15 – March 24 Press Opening: February 23 2019 Theatre Season Sponsored by the S. Mark Taper Foundation PASADENA, CA (January 17, 2019) — Boston Court Pasadena commences the 2019 theatre season with a rare production of David Hare’s The Judas Kiss (February 15 – March 24), which tells the story of Oscar Wilde’s love for Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas – and tracking his downfall as he endures a brutal trial and life in exile. Helmed by Artistic Director Michael Michetti, the play examines a literary icon who continues to hold onto his passionate ideals of love and beauty as his life crumbles around him. Sir David Hare, the British playwright behind Plenty, Skylight, and Stuff Happens creates “an emotionally rich drama illuminated by Hare’s customary insight and humanity.” (The Globe and MaiI). The Judas Kiss features Rob Nagle (Oscar Wilde), Colin Bates (Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas), Darius De La Cruz (Robert Ross), Will Dixon (Sandy Moffatt), Matthew Campbell Dowling (Arthur Wellesley), Mara Klein (Phoebe Cane) and Kurt Kanazawa (Galileo Masconi). In spring of 1895, Oscar Wilde was larger than life. His masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest, was a hit in the West End and he was the toast of London. Yet by summer he was serving two years in prison for gross indecency. Punished for “the love that dare not speak its name,” Wilde remained devoted to his beloved, Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas. -
Worricker: Turks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield
Johnny on the Run Worricker: Turks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield Starring Bill Nighy On MASTERPIECE November 9 & 16, 2014 at 9pm ET on PBS Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean) reprises his Golden Globe–nominated role as master spy Johnny Worricker in two new thrillers, written and directed by Sir David Hare (Oscar®- nominated adapter of The Reader and The Hours). Wrapping up an intricate plot that began with Page Eight in 2011, involving secret crimes and unplumbed depths of political corruption, MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY presents Turks & Caicos on Sunday, November 9, followed a week later by Salting the Battlefieldon Sunday, November 16—both airing at 9pm ET on PBS (check local listings). The all-star cast includes Oscar winner Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter), and Oscar® nominees Winona Ryder (Little Women, The Age of Innocence), Helena Bonham Carter (The King’s Speech, The Wings of the Dove), Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Schindler’s List), and Judy Davis (Husbands and Wives, A Passage to India). Also starring are Rupert Graves (Sherlock), Saskia Reeves (Wallander), and Ewen Bremner (Black Hawk Down). The New York Times praised Page Eight as “a moody modern-day espionage tale with flawless performances.”TV Guide raved, “This has the feel of top-shelf John le Carré-style literature written with droll cynicism by David Hare and exquisitely acted…. Page Eight bristles with jazzy intelligence.” And the critic for The Los Angeles Times implored, “There are reports that this film will be the first of a trilogy. I want that to be true.” Wish granted! Page Eight, Turks & Caicos, and Salting the Battlefield form The Worricker Trilogy—three gripping films that follow the exploits of the intensely private and scrupulousWorricker— from MI5 headquarters in London to exile on a Caribbean island to life on the run with his former lover and fellow agent Margot Tyrrell (Bonham Carter). -
Regenerating Aberdeen: a Vision for a Thriving and Vibrant City Centre
Regenerating Aberdeen: a vision for a thriving and vibrant city centre 1 2 FOREWORD For centuries major cities have been enhanced by their universities. These institutions have attracted skilled people, scholarship, arts and culture, as well as enterprise and innovation. In this way the partnership between cities and universities has in countless places helped to create prosperity and employment, and secured a better quality of life. Aberdeen has for a long time been associated with its institutions of learning. Robert Gordon University, though relatively young, has made a major impact on the city, and in turn has benefited from the association with its location. But this relationship also involves responsibilities, and it is my view that in RGU we must do all we can to ensure that Aberdeen’s future is as bright as its past. Although Aberdeen has significant advantages, many of them derived from the successful industries that it hosts, it also faces serious challenges. There is a perception that its infrastructure and amenities need some attention, and that it needs to look at how it can secure a new sense of purpose that is visible in its buildings, streets and spaces. To help in this process, I decided to establish an expert group drawn from the resources of the university, so that we could offer some well judged analysis and make some suggestions for the future. This group, convened by Dr David McClean, has now produced this report, offering well argued insight and vision. I am most grateful to the entire group for their work. My desire to have this work undertaken was in part prompted by the process surrounding the City Garden project, which I strongly supported and which was assisted by some key RGU staff. -
The Worricker Trilogy: Turks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield
Interview with Sir David Hare, Writer/Director of The Worricker Trilogy: Turks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield Sundays, November 9 & 16, 2014 on MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY One of England’s foremost playwrights, screenwriters, and film directors, Sir David Hare completes his Worricker Trilogy on MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY with two more gripping dramas charting the exploits of spy-on-the-run Johnny Worricker, played by Bill Nighy. Turks & Caicos and Salting the Battlefield marvelously thicken the plot started by Page Eight, which first aired on MASTERPIECE in 2011. The two films bring Johnny together with fellow spook Margot Tyrrell (Helena Bonham Carter) and lead them to a heart-stopping denouement. It’s all in a day’s work for Hare, Academy Award® screenwriting nominee for The Hours and The Reader. Actually, the writing and directing were “completely exhausting,” he says in this interview with MASTERPIECE, in which he discusses his inspiration for the trilogy, the amazing cast, the spy genre, and much else. What is the genesis of the Worricker trilogy? When I wrote the first one Page[ Eight], the producer at the BBC said, “We can either make a feature film, in which case it will take three years to put the money and cast together. Or we can be filming in six months if you agree that it’s television.” And I said, “Okay, let’s do it on television.” Then the BBC immediately said, “Can we please have six?”—because quantity is something television understands. And I said, “No! It takes me a year to write one of these.” In the end, we all enjoyed ourselves so much on the first one that I agreed to do two more. -
