  • The Independent Producer: Michael Klinger and New Film History
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Creativity and commerce: Michael Klinger and new film history Andrew Spicer* School of Creative Arts, University of the West of England, Bristol BS3 2JT, UK The crisis in film studies and history concerning their legitimacy and objectives has provoked a reinvigoration of scholarly energy in historical enquiry. „New film history‟ attempts to address the concerns of historians and film scholars by working self-reflexively with an expanded range of sources and a wider conception of „film‟ as a dynamic set of processes rather than a series of texts. The practice of new film history is here exemplified through a detailed case study of the independent British producer Michael Klinger (active 1961-1987) with a specific focus on his unsuccessful attempt to produce a war film, Green Beach, based on a memoir of the Dieppe raid (August 1942). This case study demonstrates the importance of analysing the producer‟s role in understanding the complexities of film-making, the continual struggle to balance the competing demands of creativity and commerce. In addition, its subject matter – an undercover raid and a Jewish hero – disturbed the dominant myths concerning the Second World War, creating what turned out to be intractable ideological as well as financial problems. The paper concludes that the concerns of film historians need to engage with broader cultural and social histories. Keywords: British film industry; film history; film producers; Second World War; Jewishness; Michael Klinger; Green Beach 1 *Email [email protected] The crisis in film studies, historiography, and new film history As a discipline, film studies is currently experiencing a crisis of legitimation.

  • The Treatment of the Rhodesian War in Recent Rhodesian Novels
    The African e-Journals Project has digitized full text of articles of eleven social science and humanities journals. This item is from the digital archive maintained by Michigan State University Library. Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. Zambezia (1977), 5 (ii). ESSAY REVIEW THE TREATMENT OF THE RHODESIAN WAR IN RECENT RHODESIAN NOVELS SINCE DECEMBER 1972, the war in Rhodesia has been steadily escalating. From the remote areas of the north-east where the first sustained guerilla presence was established, the fighting has now spread along the whole of the eastern border and into south-eastern Rhodesia, Sporadic incidents have occurred as far inside the country as the Mangwende and Chikwaka Tribal Trust Lands, while in 1975 another area of conflict was re-opened in northern Matabeleland. Two novels dealing with the war were published in 1976 and a further two in 1977;' and their publication prompts one to look at what is now a fairly substantial body of fiction which has the war or the early phases of nationalist militancy as its principal concern. An article on bad novels—for nearly all those dealt with here are at best indifferent and at worst very bad indeed— requires some explanation. Any work of fiction selects what its author believes to be the centrally defining issue of the situation which he is describing. A novelist who deals explicitly with political events in his society and who accepts unquestioningly the conventional attitudes and prejudices around him is likely to produce a bad novel for what he has selected as significant will be based on attitudes characteristically superficial, ill-informed and therefore inaccurate.

  • Representations of Masculinity in Wilbur Smith's Courtney Saga
    2 1 JUNY 2000 -j •& ?3 32- Representations of Masculinity in Wilbur Smith's Courtney Saga. Contextual Causes and Strategies of Authorial Control i* Mi, M. Isabel Santaulària i Capdevila Courtney bodies 181 Chapter 7: Courtney bodies. Bodily perfection, strength and sexuality. Bodies with a cause 7.1. Bodily perfection: embodying the 'essential man' During the nineteenth century, and due to the development of biology, health reform, and the optimistic belief that it was within the capacity of men to improve themselves, the masculine body was elevated to a position of enormous importance. 'Body-building' came to be associated with ideals of perfection and virtue and muscular bulk in men became a highly prized cultural value. Unsurprisingly, the heroes of nineteenth century imperialist adventure narratives were portrayed as muscular and young,1 their physical perfection, bodily vigour and tanned complexion becoming an expression of their virility. The relevance of physical perfection has remained ingrained in our western society. We live in a world obsessed with images and appearances and where sheer physicality is very likely to determine successful performance in society as is exemplified by the new myth-like quality physically- perfect top models such as Naomi Campbell or Claudia Schiffer have acquired; or by the fame of actors such as Sharon Stone, Brad Pitt, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone, whose bodies more than their acting skills granted them widespread social recognition; or by the idol-like status of sport figures such as Ronaldo, Moya or Agassi who have become modern society's new demi-gods, not only admired for their sports achievements but for their bodies, which have become icons of physical perfection as can be appreciated in a recent advertising campaign for a well-known Swiss watch trade mark.

  • Wilbur Smith
    AUTHOR DATA SHEET Macmillan Guided Readers Wilbur Smith The author and his work were the Americans, Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck. But he also enjoyed the work of the British poet and novelist, Rudyard Kipling, and many nineteenth century travel writers. After he left his boarding school, which was called Michaelhouse, Wilbur studied at Rhodes University. When he finished his studies, the young man wanted to become a journalist. But his father did not think that this was a good idea. So, to please his father, Wilbur became an accountant. Wilbur got a job as a tax accountant with the government Revenue Service. His job was to find out how much money people owed to the government. But he was bored and unhappy in this job. Wilbur began to write fiction. He wanted to escape from his boring life as an accountant. And his own imagination gave him the chance to make that escape. He wrote an adventure story that was set in Africa. It had interesting characters and an exciting plot. The novel, which Pan Macmillan was called When the Lion Feeds, was published ilbur Addison Smith was born on 9th in 1964. It was an immediate success, and soon a WJanuary 1933, in the central African country movie company wanted to make a film of it. which is now called Zambia. At that time, the Wilbur had found the work he wanted to do. And country was called Northern Rhodesia and it was although his father didn’t understand his governed by Britain. All the important jobs in the decision, Wilbur gave up his job as an country were done by white people, from British accountant.

  • Chapter 1:—Introduction to the Study
    CHAPTER 1:—INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY Justification This thesis is a study of the white Rhodesian novel written in English between 1890 and 1994. Special, deliberate attention is paid to the content and character as they interact to give those messages that readers always derive from reading fiction. However, while literature generally is supposed to educate as well as entertain, most of the white Rhodesian novels do educate, but hardly give pleasure to their African reader. For this reason, the thesis will discuss content and character with some bearing on how the black people are portrayed in the novels. This is imperative and it is not wise to read these novels while ignoring this aspect in them. It is also important to focus on this issue in a thesis like this because only then can the reader derive education from this fiction. Hopefully, the thesis will be a good resource book for other researchers, for students and for the general reader. While most people are familiar with Zimbabwean and African history, their familiarity with Zimbabwean literature is often limited to that of the African authors and a few white authors such as Doris Lessing and Wilbur Smith. Few people are conversant with as many works, by white Rhodesians, as are discussed in this thesis. Yet in order to capture a lot of what the white people thought and did during and after the colonial era, it is important to read their literature. It is often through literature that we 2 get to learn and understand human behaviour and motives behind people’s actions.
