  • Sonia Rykiel 1930-2016 for More, See Pages 4,5And 6
    DAILY EDITION 26 AUGUST 2016 1 Fashion. Beauty. Business. One of Paris’ most influential designers of the 20th century, Sonia Rykiel died Thursday at the age of 86. With her signature shock of frizzy red hair and magnetic personality, Rykiel thrived on her own terms. Reflecting on her career a few years ago, she told WWD: “Since I didn’t know anything, I did everything I wanted. I didn’t listen to anyone. I was so violent, so authoritarian, only listening to what I wanted and myself. People loved me or hated me. Those who loved me, loved me a lot. The others, I didn’t bother with them very much.” Here, the designer Sonia Rykiel photographed by WWD in Paris in 1978. 1930-2016 For more, see pages 4, 5 and 6.

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

  • Public Persona As Character in Film, Television, and Fandom Melanie Brooke Piper BA (Hons), University of Queensland
    Docucharacters: Public Persona as Character in Film, Television, and Fandom Melanie Brooke Piper BA (Hons), University of Queensland A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 School of Communication and Arts Abstract Screen characters function to personalise narrative actions for viewers, help us form judgements and understanding of moral points of view, and give us a way to make affective connections to media texts. This is true of both purely fictional characters in film and television narratives, and the real- life characters of the public figures that populate the news cycle. But how does character function when these two realms of fact and fiction merge, when the text of an actual public image is further fleshed out with speculation and fictionalisation in media ranging from Hollywood biopic to erotic fan fiction? Despite the centrality of characters in understanding media texts, there is a small body of scholarly work on fictional characters in screen media, and even less on real people as fictionalised characters. The latter has been touched on in studies of the biopic, historical literary fiction, and historical film, but we also see real people turned into characters in other media forms, such as sketch comedy, fan fiction, and celebrities playing fictional versions of themselves on screen. This thesis proposes the ontological category of “docucharacter” as a means of considering how public and private selves come together through the interpretive work of media producers and audiences across this variety of film, television, and fannish media forms. To define the docucharacter, I draw on celebrity studies approaches to the intertextuality of the public image, Erving Goffman's theories of self-presentation, and Murray Smith’s typology of character engagement.
