  • ARTICLE American Movie Audiences of the 1930S1
    ARTICLE American Movie Audiences of the 1930s1 Richard Butsch Rider University Abstract The Depression and movies with sound changed movie audiences of the 1930s from those of the 1920s and earlier. Sound silenced audiences, discouraging the sociabili- ty that had marked working-class audiences before. The Depression led movie com- panies to change marketing strategies and construction plans. They stopped selling luxury and building movie palaces. Instead, they expanded their operation of neigh- borhood theaters, displacing independents that had been more worker friendly, and instituted centrally controlled show bills and policies. Audiences also appear to have become more heterogeneous. All this, too, discouraged the voluble behavior of working-class people. Ironically, in this era of labor activism, workers and their fam- ilies seem to have become quieter in movie theaters, satisfied with the convenience of chain-operated movie houses. The 1930s were an exciting decade for labor activism in the United States and a high point for the growth of unions. Workers in steel, automobile, and other heavy industries organized industrial unions. The Committee on Industrial Or- ganization (later Congress of Industrial Organizations or CIO) was formed with a membership of more than a million workers. Factory workers initiated new tactics in struggles with employers, such as sit-down strikes. In politics, they ad- vanced legislation and programs in the New Deal to help employed and unem- ployed workers. Ironically, at the same time that workers’ collective action and class con- sciousness were at a high point, movie audiences became quiet. They did not act collectively to control their experience in the theater.

Signature:……………………………………… 3 Summary Due to their characteristic themes (such as „perverse‟ desire and monstrosity) and form (incoherence and excess), exploitation films are often celebrated as inherently subversive or transgressive. I critically assess such claims through a close reading of the films of the Spanish „sex and horror‟ specialist Jess Franco. My textual and contextual analysis shows that Franco‟s films are shaped by inter-relationships between authorship, international genre codes and the economic and ideological conditions of exploitation cinema. Within these conditions, Franco‟s treatment of „aberrant‟ and gothic desiring subjectivities appears contradictory. Contestation and critique can, for example, be found in Franco‟s portrayal of emasculated male characters, and his female vampires may offer opportunities for resistant appropriation.

MacTerminal provides for file transfer to and using the Xmodem protocol, and from other computers in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) text (files can be pasted in text to other computers, but only a clipboard -full at a time.

Tekalike (Mesa Graphics) isthe earliest graphics terminal emulator we used on the Macintosh. It emulates the Tektronix 4010, 4012, 4014 and 4016 graphics terminals (a later version we have not yet tested adds VT -100 and VT -640). It also provides the ability to pan and zoom on areas selected by the mouse and to save plots for MacPaint on MacDraw for full 300 dots -per -inch LaserWriter resolution. It was this program that first enabled us to consider the Macintosh as a replacement for graphics terminals. The Macintosh could not only view plots at its 512X342 resolution, but thanks to the pan and zoom, could view parts of plots at full 4014 (4096X3072) resolution, a feature then available only on much more expensive graphics terminals (some other personal computers now have programs for Tektronix 4010/4014 emulation, but the best known to me Start of waveform, magnified at this time zooms in 4X and only provides 1024X768 resolution at zoom; 4010, not 4014 resolution).

  • Day Two,San Diego Comic-Con 2013 – Day One
    Scene and Heard Mary Loss of Soul There is no accurate description of the whirling dervish I met recently on the set of her soon-to-be- released film, Mary Loss of Soul. It was the last day of shooting, and the energy level and passion of this female director was boundless – and infectious! The woman I speak of is Jennifer B. White. She is a writer, director and producer – but she’ll tell you she is first and foremost a storyteller. “I was ten years old. I’d never heard the term “folktale” – a narrated story to entertain a group of listeners. But, that’s exactly how I began my creative dream – as a storyteller in the woods. Back in the day of knock-on-door neighborhoods in the suburbs of Massachusetts, I’d gather with a group of wide-eyed kids along with my side-kick little sister. I told stories – often about ghosts, witches and anything spooky – making them up as I went along. I started writing novels at the age of 12 on my mom’s old IBM Selectric. As the family keeper of all things old and nostalgic, I held on to those precious works of fiction like they were a buccaneer’s booty.” After college, Jennifer signed with her first literary agent, and went on to become a public relations professional heading up PR in Boston hotels and top agencies where she was published in hundreds of publications throughout the U.S. She continued writing novels throughout her career, and, through a series of fortunate encounters, began writing for Hollywood.

In this essay we would like to relate the emergence of a parasite-cinema, one that expresses itself through predatory forms of capture and communica- tion, where images pullulate out of control (but do not destroy the body of the host), to Artaud’s understanding of plague as a proliferation of communication. Résumé Dans Le Théâtre et son double Artaud analyse la manière dont la peste communique au-delà du seul contact physique, apportant la mort à ceux qu’elle touche, mais apportant aussi la peur, des images et l’imagination qui transforme les rapports sociaux, désorganisant la société et produisant des comportements absurdes anti-so- ciaux. Dans cet essai nous nous proposons de mettre en rapport la conception artaudienne de la peste comme forme proliférante de communication avec l’émergence d’une nouvelle forme de cinéma, le cinéma parasite, qui s’exprime à travers des formes prédatrices de capture et de communication, des images qui pullulent en dehors de tout contrôle (mais sans détruire le corps de celui qui les accueille).

  • Cultural Materialism in the Production and Distribution of Exploitative Lesbian Film: a Historical Case Study of Children of Loneliness (1935)
    Cultural Materialism in the Production and Distribution of Exploitative Lesbian Film: A Historical Case Study of Children of Loneliness (1935) Anna Fåhraeus, Halmstad University Abstract Raymond Williams developed a vocabulary and framework for analyzing the ideological forces at work in literature and art, as objects, but also in terms of their production and distribution. This article looks back at his elaboration of cultural materialism and its relationship to film in Preface to Film (1954), written with Michael Orrin, as a way of understanding the media traces of the lost film Children of Loneliness (dir. Richard C. Kahn). The film was an early sex education about homosexuality and this article explores its connections to early exploitation films as a cinematic form, and the dominant and emergent discourses that were used to promote it, as a well as at structures of feeling that these discourses reflect. Keywords: structure of feeling; history of film; Children of Loneliness; homosexuality ‘To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing.’ Raymond Williams1 Introduction Raymond Williams laid much of the groundwork for cultural studies and media studies with his work Culture and Society (1958), Communications (1962) and Television (1974). It is less well-known that from his university days in the 1930s he also worked with film and produced several important texts for Film Studies, including ‘Film as a Tutorial Subject’ (1953) and the volume, Preface to Film (1954), co- authored with his friend, the documentary filmmaker Michael Orrin. The book was a manifesto for the political potential of the form. Williams’s contribution was an essay entitled, ‘Film and the Dramatic Tradition.’ The main thrust is that in order to study the moving image as a cultural form, it needs to be understood in relation to the history of drama (Dolan 1 Resources of Hope, published posthumously (1989: 118).
