  • Dvd Press Release
    DVD & Blu-ray press release BFI Flipside presents Voice Over A film by Christopher Monger Starring Ian McNeice Unseen for decades, Christopher Monger’s controversial feature Voice Over is released by BFI Flipside in a new HD transfer, mastered from the only surviving print elements. Released in a Dual Format Edition (DVD & Blu- ray discs together), it also contains Monger’s rare experimental feature-length thriller, Repeater. 'Fats' Bannerman is enjoying success as the writer and presenter of Thus Engaged, a romantic radio serial about the lives and loves of a Regency heroine. But when grim reality violently intrudes into Fats' life, his frail fantasies become unbalanced and his ability to separate fact from fiction breaks down, with devastating consequences. Featuring a compelling central performance from the great British screen actor Ian McNeice (A Life Less Ordinary; Oliver Twist; Doctor Who), this controversial early film from the award-winning Hollywood filmmaker Christopher Monger (The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain and writer of the multi-award winning HBO production Temple Grandin, starring Claire Danes) caused a sensation upon its original release, when its subject matter was attacked by feminist groups. Voice Over, the 21st BFI Flipside title, is released alongside Little Malcolm (Stuart Cooper, 1974). Special features x Both films presented in High Definition and Standard Definition x Newly mastered, under the supervision of director of photography Roland Denning, from the best available archive materials x Repeater (Christopher Monger, 1979, 76 mins): deconstructed crime thriller, inspired by the French New Wave, in which a woman’s confession of murder is not as simple as it seems x 34-page illustrated booklet with newly commissioned essays, biographies, original promotional materials, and recollections by Christopher Monger and Ian McNeice Release date: 24 October 2011 RRP: £19.99 / cat.

  • The Zen Master's Comics: Self-Awareness And
    19 NEW MODES OF SELF-FASHIONING THE ZEN MASTER’S COMICS: SELF-AWARENESS AND POPULAR CULTURE IN GLEN DAVID GOLD’S I WILL BE COMPLETE ALEXANDRU BUDAC West University, Timişoara Abstract: Raised in a chic California mansion at the peak of the counterculture movement, novelist Glen David Gold recounts the tormenting relationship with his estranged parents, and especially with his bohemian and deeply troubled mother. When the latter leaves him alone in San Francisco, at the age of twelve, he has to find ways to survive and attend school. I assess how comic books, movies, music, Gold’s passion for the Japanese culture, and his perception of time make for the labyrinthine structure of his memoir. Keywords: Glen David Gold, American memoir, San Francisco, comic books, Jun’ichirō Tanizaki 1. Introduction: mother and son Is the need to confess considerably stronger nowadays than it used to be? Probably not, but we have found the means to make this need a public – and global – asset. Or at least many people belive it to be so. Technically, in the age of the Internet and social media, everyone’s private life might come under everyone’s scrutiny and it is increasingly difficult to tell the mere online confession from dishonest self-advertising, or truth-telling from malicious fabrications. Assessing the impact of generalized “confessionalism”, as he calls it ironically, on memoir writing – a venerable genre besieged by fraud and commercial success during the last decades – William Giraldi (2018: 99) notices that “social media has turned untold citizens into hourly memoirists in miniature. We live now in a culture of incessant confession and self-discovery: a non-stop spelunking into empty caves.” It comes as no surprise then that professional writers stand up for the memoir as an artistic form and genuine self-examination, rather than self-interest.

She is spending her summer working as an acrobat with the cirque while her husband, Theo, is translating a biography of the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Late one night, Kay fears someone is following her home. Surprised to see that the lights of the toy shop are on and the door is open, she takes shelter inside. The next morning Theo wakes up to discover his wife is missing. Under police suspicion and frantic at her disappearance, he obsessively searches the streets of the Old City. Meanwhile, Kay has been transformed into a puppet, and is now a prisoner of the back room of the Quatre Mains, trapped with an odd assemblage of puppets from all over the world who can only come alive between the hours of midnight and dawn. The only way she can return to the human world is if Theo can find her and recognize her in her new form. So begins a dual odyssey: of a husband determined to findhis wife, and of a woman trapped in a magical world where her life is not her own.

  • It Reveals Who I Really Am”: New Metaphors, Symbols, and Motifs in Representations of Autism Spectrum Disorders in Popular Culture
    “IT REVEALS WHO I REALLY AM”: NEW METAPHORS, SYMBOLS, AND MOTIFS IN REPRESENTATIONS OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN POPULAR CULTURE By Summer Joy O’Neal A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Angela Hague, Chair Dr. David Lavery Dr. Robert Petersen Copyright © 2013 Summer Joy O’Neal ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There simply is not enough thanks to thank my family, my faithful parents, T. Brian and Pamela O’Neal, and my understanding sisters, Auburn and Taffeta, for their lifelong support; without their love, belief in my strengths, patience with my struggles, and encouragement, I would not be in this position today. I am forever grateful to my wonderful director, Dr. Angela Hague, whose commitment to this project went above and beyond what I deserved to expect. To the rest of my committee, Dr. David Lavery and Dr. Robert Petersen, for their seasoned advice and willingness to participate, I am also indebted. Beyond these, I would like to recognize some “unofficial” members of my committee, including Dr. Elyce Helford, Dr. Alicia Broderick, Ari Ne’eman, Chris Foss, and Melanie Yergau, who graciously offered me necessary guidance and insightful advice for this project, particularly in the field of Disability Studies. Yet most of all, Ephesians 3.20-21. iii ABSTRACT Autism has been sensationalized by the media because of the disorder’s purported prevalence: Diagnoses of this condition that was traditionally considered to be quite rare have radically increased in recent years, and an analogous fascination with autism has emerged in the field of popular culture.

  • Filme Über Autismus Und Dessen Geschichte
    FILME ÜBER AUTISMUS UND DESSEN GESCHICHTE Der kalte Himmel Deutschland 2011 179 Min. R: Johannes Fabrick B: Andrea Stoll D: Christine Neubauer, Tim Bergmann, Marcus Mittermeier, Alexander Held Der deutsche Fernsehzweiteiler spielt 1967 in einer ländlichen bayrischen Gemeinde. Der Sohn von Christine Neubauers Rolle ist sechs Jahre alt und steht kurz vor der Einschulung. Er war zwar schon als „Sonderling“ aufgefallen, aber war zuvor immer nur im Familienverbund. Mit seiner Einschulung wird Junge jedoch schon nach dem ersten Schultag zum Gesprächsthema. Die Mutter versucht, Hilfe und eine Erklärung für das Verhalten ihres Sohnes zu finden und trifft schließlich auf einen Berliner Arzt, der ihn als Autist diagnostiziert. Die Eltern haben große Probleme damit und die streng religiöse Großmutter des Jungen hält ihn sogar für besessen und will ihn einem Exorzismus unterziehen lassen. L´Enfant sauvage Der Wolfsjunge Frankreich 1970 81 Min. R: François Truffaut B: François Truffaut, Jean Gruault D: Jean-Pierre Cargol, François Truffaut Der Film erzählt wie der „wilde Junge von Aveyron“ von Dorfbewohnern gefangen und zur Schau gestellt wird. Später kommt er in die Obhut des Arztes Jean Marc Gaspard Itard, der versucht, den verwilderten und sich wie ein Tier verhaltenen Jungen zu therapieren. Er gehört zu den Wenigen, die Hoffnung haben, dass der Junge, den Itard Victor nennt, halbwegs das typische Verhalten eines Menschen erlernen könne. Weil das historische Vorbild vor bald 200 Jahren bereits verstorben ist und der Begriff Autismus damals noch lange nicht bekannt war, kann nur vermutet werden, dass er Autist war. Truffaut und Gruault schienen, dieser Theorie zu glauben. Gruault informierte sich vor dem Schreiben der ersten Drehbuchfassung sehr ausführlich über Autismus und studierte entsprechende Fachartikel.
