  • Guillermo Del Toro’S Bleak House
    GuillermoAt Home With Monstersdel Toro By James Balestrieri Guillermo del Toro’s Bleak House. Photo ©Josh White/ JWPictures.com. LOS ANGELES, CALIF. — The essence of “Guillermo del Toro: At Home With Monsters,” the strange and wonderful exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) through November 27, is this: Guillermo del Toro, born in 1964, is a major writer and director whose films include Cronos (1993), The Devil’s Backbone (2001), Hellboy (2004), Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), Pacific Rim (2013) and Crimson Peak (2015). He is a master who creates worlds that embrace horror, science fiction, fantasy and fairy tales. He insists that, as fantastic as they are, these worlds are located and grounded beside, beneath and in the real world, our world — a world, he might argue, that we merely imagine as real. The membrane separating these worlds is thin, porous and portal-ridden. The worlds are distorted reflections of one another. This distortion becomes the occasion for his ideas and art. Page from Notebook 2 by Guillermo del Toro. Leather-bound notebook, ink on paper, 8 by 10 by 1½ inches. Collection of Guillermo del Toro. ©Guillermo del Toro. Photo courtesy Insight Editions. Jointly organized by LACMA with the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Art Gallery of Ontario, this first retrospective of the filmmaker’s work arrays sculpture, paintings, prints, photography, costumes, ancient artifacts, books, maquettes and film to create a complex portrait of a creative genius. Roughly 60 of the 500 objects on view are from LACMA’s collection. More belong to the artist.

  • WRITING THROUGH MEDIA the Intertextual Fairy Tale
    ENG 1131: WRITING THROUGH MEDIA The Intertextual Fairy Tale Jaquelin Elliott Spring 2019, Sec. 2463 / Class #13891 [email protected] ARCH 0116 Office: TUR 4367 MWF 7 (1:55– 2:45pm) Office Hours: W 5 & 6 Screenings: R E1 – E3 (7:20 – 10:10pm) COURSE DESCRIPTION Fairy tales are a foundational element of nearly every culture, their universal themes and stock characters granting them a malleability that has allowed creators the world over to craft countless retellings, reinterpretations, and even rowdy parodies. While fairy tales are often dismissed as “kid’s stuff,” our present culture has demonstrated a marked interest in the more mature aspects of fairy tales, reshaping these stories into films, TV shows, novels, musicals, short stories, comics, fan fiction, and much more enjoyed by children, teens, and adults. Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water winning last year’s Academy Award for Best Picture demonstrates that our hunger for “dark” adaptations of fairy tales, myths, and monster stories is as alive as ever – and if those stories can interrogate both our contemporary values and what elements of these centuries- old stories remain relatable to us, then so much the better. In this course, students will engage with cultural studies, media studies, fandom studies, and adaptation/remix theory through close readings of a select group of fairy tales and their adaptations from a number of different genres, mediums, and historical periods. For consistency, our class will look to “animal husband” tales and other folklore focusing on romances as strange, fantastical, and transformative as the radical retellings they have inspired.

  • Reading for Fictional Worlds in Literature and Film
    Reading for Fictional Worlds in Literature and Film Danielle Simard Doctor of Philosophy University of York English and Related Literature March, 2020 2 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to establish a critical methodology which reads for fictional worlds in literature and film. Close readings of literary and cinematic texts are presented in support of the proposition that the fictional world is, and arguably should be, central to the critical process. These readings demonstrate how fictional world-centric readings challenge the conclusions generated by approaches which prioritise the author, the reader and the viewer. I establish a definition of independent fictional worlds, and show how characters rather than narrative are the means by which readers access the fictional world in order to analyse it. This interdisciplinary project engages predominantly with theoretical and critical work on literature and film to consider four distinct groups of contemporary novels and films. These texts demand readings that pose potential problems for my approach, and therefore test the scope and viability of my thesis. I evaluate character and narrative through Fight Club (novel, Chuck Palahniuk [1996] film, David Fincher [1999]); genre, context, and intertextuality in Solaris (novel, Stanisław Lem [1961] film, Andrei Tarkovsky [1974] film, Steven Soderbergh [2002]); mythic thinking and character’s authority with American Gods (novel, Neil Gaiman [2001]) and Anansi Boys (novel, Neil Gaiman [2005]); and temporality and nationality in Cronos (film, Guillermo

  • The Ghost Is Just a Metaphor: Guillermo Del Toro's Crimson Peak
    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MEDIA STUDIES www.necsus-ejms.org The ghost is just a metaphor: Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak, nineteenth-century female gothic, and the slasher Evangelia Kindinger NECSUS 6 (2), Autumn 2017: 55–71 URL: https://necsus-ejms.org/the-ghost-is-just-a-metaphor- guillermo-del-toros-crimson-peak-nineteenth-century-female- gothic-and-the-slasher/ Keywords: final girl, Guillermo del Toro, horror-ghost film, nine- teenth-century gothic A brief overview of American film and television since the 1990s affirms Ma- ría del Pilar Blanco and Esther Peeren’s conclusion: ‘It seems that ghosts are everywhere these days.’[1] With the release of Crimson Peak in 2015, Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro did not only add another horror movie to his oeuvre,[2] but as a horror-ghost film[3] Crimson Peak joins a long list of cine- matic representations of ghosts. It also displays del Toro’s unique style, his vision of movies as ‘durchkonzipierte und bis ins letzte Detail kontrollierte Gesamtkunstwerke [conceptualised and detailed, total works of art]’.[4] Set in Buffalo, New York, around 1900, the film introduces Edith Cushing, the young, white, upper-class daughter of industrial mogul Carter Cushing, who spends her time writing ghost stories and trying to get them pub- lished.[5] When English baronet Thomas Sharpe and his sister Lucille arrive in Buffalo to find investors for Thomas’ clay mining invention, Edith falls in love with him. Her father is very suspicious of the siblings and after black- mailing them to leave Buffalo following the revelation that Thomas is already married, he is killed by an unknown figure in black who is later revealed as Lucille.
