  • JM Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston
    1 'Presences of the Infinite': J. M. Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston PhD Royal Holloway University of London 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Peter Johnston, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Dated: 3 Abstract This thesis articulates the resonances between J. M. Coetzee's lifelong engagement with mathematics and his practice as a novelist, critic, and poet. Though the critical discourse surrounding Coetzee's literary work continues to flourish, and though the basic details of his background in mathematics are now widely acknowledged, his inheritance from that background has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive and mathematically- literate account. In providing such an account, I propose that these two strands of his intellectual trajectory not only developed in parallel, but together engendered several of the characteristic qualities of his finest work. The structure of the thesis is essentially thematic, but is also broadly chronological. Chapter 1 focuses on Coetzee's poetry, charting the increasing involvement of mathematical concepts and methods in his practice and poetics between 1958 and 1979. Chapter 2 situates his master's thesis alongside archival materials from the early stages of his academic career, and thus traces the development of his philosophical interest in the migration of quantificatory metaphors into other conceptual domains. Concentrating on his doctoral thesis and a series of contemporaneous reviews, essays, and lecture notes, Chapter 3 details the calculated ambivalence with which he therein articulates, adopts, and challenges various statistical methods designed to disclose objective truth.

  • The Best According To
    Books | The best according to... http://books.guardian.co.uk/print/0,,329724792­99819,00.html The best according to... Interviews by Stephen Moss Friday February 23, 2007 Guardian Andrew Motion Poet laureate Choosing the greatest living writer is a harmless parlour game, but it might prove more than that if it provokes people into reading whoever gets the call. What makes a great writer? Philosophical depth, quality of writing, range, ability to move between registers, and the power to influence other writers and the age in which we live. Amis is a wonderful writer and incredibly influential. Whatever people feel about his work, they must surely be impressed by its ambition and concentration. But in terms of calling him a "great" writer, let's look again in 20 years. It would be invidious for me to choose one name, but Harold Pinter, VS Naipaul, Doris Lessing, Michael Longley, John Berger and Tom Stoppard would all be in the frame. AS Byatt Novelist Greatness lies in either (or both) saying something that nobody has said before, or saying it in a way that no one has said it. You need to be able to do something with the English language that no one else does. A great writer tells you something that appears to you to be new, but then you realise that you always knew it. Great writing should make you rethink the world, not reflect current reality. Amis writes wonderful sentences, but he writes too many wonderful sentences one after another. I met a taxi driver the other day who thought that.

    ‘PEN International has traditionally been a place where great artists of stage and screen -Thornton Wilder, Maurice Maeterlinck, Arthur Miller, Ronald Harwood, Octavio Paz and Harold Pinter- have fought for freedom of expression the world over. Today, as even a mobile phone can be a movie camera, we are able to bear witness to human rights violations as never before. In these times, more than ever, PEN defends playwrights, screenwriters and filmmakers who are censored, silenced and jailed’ – JENNIFER CLEMENT, PEN INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT ‘I consider freedom of expression the most important cause that PEN supports. Without freedom of expression we are lost’ – RONALD HARWOOD, PEN INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT EMERITUS ‘My respect for this organisation has no borders…PEN has been so fierce, so consistent and ferocious in its efforts that it is hard to ignore their worldwide impact.’ The PEN – TONI MORRISON, PEN INTERNATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT International For more information contact [email protected] Stage & Screen Cover image: PEN International President Emeritus Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe arrive in London for the premier of film The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who contributed to completing my thesis.

Without her I would never have discovered the passion I have for Coetzee’s work. Also, I would like to thank Dr. A.J. Hoenselaars for taking interest in my work and for agreeing to be the second reader on such short notice. My special gratitude goes to Dr. Paul Franssen who has provided me with valuable suggestions and has shown a great deal of patience and understanding. His support and kind help were indispensable to the process of my writing; without him, my thesis could never have been completed.

  • The Dramatic World Harol I Pinter
    THE DRAMATIC WORLD HAROL I PINTER RITUAL Katherine H. Bnrkman $8.00 THE DRAMATIC WORLD OF HAROLD PINTER By Katherine H. Burkman The drama of Harold Pinter evolves in an atmosphere of mystery in which the surfaces of life are realistically detailed but the pat­ terns that underlie them remain obscure. De­ spite the vivid naturalism of his dialogue, his characters often behave more like figures in a dream than like persons with whom one can easily identify. Pinter has on one occasion admitted that, if pressed, he would define his art as realistic but would not describe what he does as realism. Here he points to what his audience has often sensed is distinctive in his style: its mixture of the real and sur­ real, its exact portrayal of life on the surface, and its powerful evocation of that life that lies beneath the surface. Mrs. Burkman rejects the contention of some Pinter critics that the playwright seeks to mystify and puzzle his audience. To the contrary, she argues, he is exploring experi­ ence at levels that are mysterious, and is a poetic rather than a problem-solving play­ wright. The poetic images of the play, more­ over, Mrs. Burkman contends, are based in ritual; and just as the ancient Greeks at­ tempted to understand the mysteries of life by drawing upon the most primitive of reli­ gious rites, so Pinter employs ritual in his drama for his own tragicomic purposes. Mrs. Burkman explores two distinct kinds of ritual that Pinter develops in counter­ point. His plays abound in those daily habit­ ual activities that have become formalized as ritual and have tended to become empty of meaning, but these automatic activities are set in contrast with sacrificial rites that are loaded with meaning, and force the charac­ ters to a painful awareness of life from which their daily routines have served to protect them.

  • PINTER on SCREEN: POWER, SEX & POLITICS (1 July – 31 August) – Curated by Harold Pinter Biographer and Theatre Critic for the Guardian Michael Billington
    Tuesday 19 June 2018, London. To mark the 10th anniversary of the death of one of the most important and influential British playwrights of the last century, HAROLD PINTER, BFI Southbank will host a special two month season – PINTER ON SCREEN: POWER, SEX & POLITICS (1 July – 31 August) – curated by Harold Pinter biographer and theatre critic for The Guardian Michael Billington. Best-known for his work as a playwright, PINTER ON SCREEN will celebrate his contribution to film and television, which was extremely significant, not only writing pioneering plays for television, but also for working on scripts for a varied range of landmark films like Joseph Losey’s The Servant (1963), The French Lieutenant’s Woman (Karel Reisz, 1981) starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons, The Comfort of Strangers (Paul Schrader, 1990) and the 1990 adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s still all-too-relevant The Handmaid’s Tale (Volker Schlöndorff). “‘Truth in drama, is forever elusive. You never quite find it, but the search for it is compulsive.’ – Harold Pinter on receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005. On this statement, and on Pinter, season curator Michael Billington says: “That applies as much to his work for the screen as it does to the stage with which it shares many qualities: a fascination with the private roots of power, an abiding preoccupation with memory and the deceptiveness of language, a belief in the agency of women. Pinter, from his teenage years when he explored the work of Luis Buñuel, Marcel Carné and Jean Vigo, was always passionately in love with cinema and was proud that the majority of his screenplays were filmed.
