SHIRLEY Directed by: Josephine Decker Written by: Sarah Gubbins Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Odessa Young, Michael Stuhlbarg, Logan Lerman Running Time: 107 Minutes CORNERSTONE FILMS CONTACTS: Publicity: Anna Bohlin/ [email protected] Marketing: Joanne Michael/ [email protected] SYNPOSIS Fred and Rose move to a small Vermont college town in pursuit of a job for Fred as an assistant professor of literature. The young couple receives an offer for free room and board from professor Stanley Hyman, as long as Rose agrees to spend time cleaning up the home and looking after his wife, acclaimed horror author Shirley Jackson. At first Fred and Rose detest the rocky household of the eccentric couple, but they eventually establish deep bonds with their counterparts, which will test the limits of their young love. Director Josephine Decker makes an exciting return with a biographical portrait brought alive with energy and imagination, based on a novel by Susan Merrill and screenplay by Sarah Gubbins. Shirley is a fresh take on the period drama, full of contemporary intrigue and dynamic in style. It features a stellar lead cast—Elisabeth Moss, Michael Stuhlbarg, Odessa Young, and Logan Lerman—who all return to the Festival to give another memorable performance. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT Shirley Jackson was a wildly unorthodox human and storyteller. Encountering her work was like finding a map towards becoming the kind of artist I would like to be. Daring. Intimate. Structured yet dreamlike. Shirley’s work rides on the skin between imagined and real, seducing with its oddness and humble cracks until you can’t tell if you’re looking up the stairwell or into your own mouth.

The Lottery” Patrick J
Contemporary Justice Review Vol. 7, No. 4, December 2004, pp. 411–419 Arbitrary Condemnation and Sanctioned Violence in Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” Patrick J. Shields ThisTaylorGCJR7405.sgm10.1080/1028258042000305884Contemporary1028-2580Original200474000000December and& ArticleFrancis (print)/1477-271XFrancis Justice Ltd 2004 Ltd Reviewarticle (online) will discuss current issues surrounding the administration of capital punish- ment in the U.S. with insights from Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”. The story itself shows the atavistic nature lurking beneath humankind’s civilized surface and leads the reader to examine such notions as scapegoating, ritual cleansing, gender, class structure, arbitrary condemnation, and sanctioned violence. There may be more truth in Jackson’s short story than the reader cares to confront. This opens the possibility that fiction can give us more insight into value issues than other sources can. Although fiction is made up of imaginary elements, it is true to reality and human experience. The legal historical reality of capital punishment and its subsequent implementation as it has existed and still exists in our culture purports to establish and maintain what amounts to a legal fiction of its own. In this story, Jackson presents us with a glimpse into humankind’s past and brings the reader to question the justification and use of capital punishment in our culture. Keywords: Arbitrary Condemnation; Atavism; Capital Punishment; Ritual Cleansing; Sanctioned Violence; Scapegoating The less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it. (Mark Twain) It is a pleasant day in late June. The townsfolk gather in the village square as they do each year for this event.

Stories about anything, anything at all. Just stories. After all, who can vacuum a room and concentrate on it? I tell myself stories…They keep me working, my stories.” —“Memory and Delusion,” Shirley Jackson The home space exists at the center of Shirley Jackson’s writing, presented to readers as a force of consistent fascination for characters. The domestic setting is one where Jackson manages to (or, attempts to) break free from enforced societal structure. Her work deconstructs the Freudian double, offering sardonically humorous takeaways that give way to liminality and horror alongside happiness. Fear in the everyday through a domesticized setting tangles and blurs the rigidly imposed lines of humor/horror, the mother/writer, housewife/public figure, and demon/angel of the house.

Shirley Jackson: a Rather Haunted Life Pdf, Epub, Ebook
SHIRLEY JACKSON: A RATHER HAUNTED LIFE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Ruth Franklin | 624 pages | 25 Oct 2016 | WW Norton & Co | 9780871403131 | English | United States Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life PDF Book Some of our own deepest convictions may be false. Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life reads as if Ruth Franklin wanted to write a biography of Jackson's husband, critic Stanley Hyman, found no takers, so decided to turn it into a biography of Jackson. Some of the stuff with Hyman feels like filler in a book that is almost pages long. The miracle is wrought by Shirley Jackson, God bless her, as ever unparalleled … [a] leader in the field of beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders. At nearly twice the length of the Oppenheimer book, one would have hoped for even more insight into Jackson, her life and her writings. Preview — Shirley Jackson by Ruth Franklin. And b Is it fact, or fiction? After one of Hyman's repeated infidelities, Jackson refrains from sending him an angry letter and then suffers a throat infection. At first things seemed promising: Hyman was hired as a staff writer at the New Yorker and began teaching at Bennington College, but he never published as much in the magazine as he hoped, and his first foray into teaching ended abruptly after he offended his colleagues. Books by Ruth Franklin. Her interest in witchcraft, made it easy to oversimplify her work - the classic back-handed compliment being the description of her writing with a broomstick rather than a pen. As much as she seems searching or at times craving approvals, she's still solidly narcissistic too.

Graz, am __________________________ Unterschrift: __________________________ 10 Kurzzusammenfassung Shirley Jackson wird von vielen als Ikone der Schauerliteratur angesehen. Sie hat ihren ganz eigenen Stil von Schauerliteratur entwickelt und damit ihre Leser geschockt und in Terror versetzt. Neben der eben genannten Schauerliteratur hat sie auch eine fiktive Beschreibung ihres Lebens als junger Mutter im Buch ‚Life Among the Savages‘ verfasst. Diese Darstellung der kleinen Triumphe und großen Probleme des Elterndaseins wurde von Kritikern gefeiert. In dieser Arbeit werden neben dem Hintergrund von Shirley Jackson vor allem die literarischen Elemente ihrer Werke Spuk im Hill House, Wir haben schon immer im Schloss gelebt und Life Among the Savages näher beleuchtet. Das gewählte Leben in Gefangenschaft in ihrem eigenen Zuhause wird erklärt und die Rolle des Heims im Leben der weiblichen Charaktere wird genauer untersucht. Bekannte Schauerliteratur Schriftsteller werden verwendet um Jackson’s unterschiedliche Methoden zu veranschaulichen sowie Parallelen zwischen den dem Leben des Autors und den eingesperrten Charakteren gezogen.

The Insanity of Reality in the Haunting of Hill House: Novel Versus Adaptation
The Insanity of Reality in The Haunting of Hill House: Novel versus Adaptation. Myrthe Neijnens 6400663 BA Thesis English Language and Culture Utrecht University Supervisor: Ruth Clemens Second reader: Roselinde Supheert 23-06-2021 Neijnens 1 Abstract Both Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel The Haunting of Hill House and its 2018 Netflix adaptation of the same name revolve around the theme of absolute reality and the influence it has on the characters, but the two media differ greatly in the way they present it. The main differences relate to the ways the two texts play with the themes of trauma, death, life, and love, and how they represent conventional gothic tropes. The novel conceives of trauma as a lonely and inescapable force inside of us, and death is the pointless death of it all. In the adaptation, trauma is shared and externalised, and love seems to be a way of thinking outside of the absurdity of life and death. This research shows that an adaptation is not merely a copy; in adapting a work into a different medium, the work itself can be utterly transformed on a fundamental level. At the centre of the two texts lie two different conceptualisations of life itself.
