'Not All Sisters Under the Same (Bomber's) Moon'? REVIEWS . 301 .................................................................................................................................................. C L A I R E M . T Y L E E &.................................................................................................................................................. `Not All Sisters under the Same (Bomber’s) Moon’?1 Gill Plain, Women’s All four of these works continue the feminist enterprise of reconstructing Fiction of the Second (British) literary and cultural history. Of course, having now reached the World War: Gender, Second World War, just as with the Great War, the tracing of women’s Power and literary traditions entails a revisioning of what is even meant by `war’ or `war Resistance, Edin- literature’. Unlike earlier work by Robert Hewison, Sebastian Knowles or burgh: Edinburgh 2 University Press, Adam Piette, these four books are not studies primarily concerned with 1996, £12.95 pbk. men, men’s alienation or the forbidden zone of male combat but rather with Jenny Hartley, the first total war’s extension of the war zone to include the home front. Nor Millions like Us: do the three that are analyses of fiction begin and end with the conventional British Women’s dates of 1939±45. They look back to the popular fiction of the 1930s and Fiction of the Second Woolf ’s polemic Three Guineas, and forward to Olivia Manning’s trilogies of World War, London: the 1960s. With many of the writers discussed having had careers that also Virago, 1997, embrace the First World War, it is tempting to collapse women’s responses to £9.95 pbk. both wars together. Lassner argues convincingly against such contemporary Margaretta Jolly, revisionism, which conflates turn-of-the-century feminist analysis of imperial Dear Laughing Motorbyke: Letters conquest, militarism and patriarchy with women’s nuanced debates over the from Women particularities of Nazism in the 1930s and 1940s. Welders of the Second Although all four works have in common their intellectual and political World War, London: origins in the women’s studies movement, they remind me of the reproachful Scarlet Press, 1997, poem to white feminists penned by the black feminist Jackie Kay: `We are £9.99 pbk. not all sisters under the same moon.’3 Their theoretical bases and political Phyllis Lassner, commitments are at variance with one another. Jolly concentrates on a group British Women of fifty-two letters by working-class women (selected by Dorothy Sheridan Writers of World from the Mass Observation Archive at Sussex University). Hartley surveys a War II: Battlegrounds huge range of fiction by over a hundred women, writing to ward off fear.

WOMEN: A CULTURAL REVIEW .................................................................................................................................................. isms in her analysis of how these five women tried to subvert `symbolic modes of patriarchal discourse’ (191). She is concerned with the construct- edness of gender, and of the particular double-binds set up for women by war-time propaganda. By contrast, herself an outsider vis-aÁ -vis Britain, Lassner goes straight to the heart of the matter: taking about twenty women writers and connecting their non-fictional publications with their fiction, she focuses not on class war, nationalism or gender politics, but on the racial politics of antisemitism and genocide. These were, after all, at the root of the public debate over the `just war’, and what problematized the questions of pacifism, compromise or resistance for women. Not unnaturally, her personal commitment gives a drive and energy to her analyses absent from the cooler appraisals of the British critics. It also produces a unifying coherence to her arguments at odds with the fashionable diversity adopted by Hartley and Plain. Hartley’s is the most accessible of the studies. It complements her earlier anthology of women’s non-fictional responses to the Second World War, Hearts Undefeated (1994), in which she did include the horrors of the Holocaust but had difficulty finding working-class voices, and it is helpful to set Jolly’s book alongside that anthology. Jolly studies a small, probably unique, set of letters that a number of working-class women who trained as welders in 1942 wrote to their upper-middle-class woman instructor. More intimate than the oral interviews in the Imperial War Museum archives, these letters not only respond to the women’s work experiences, but engage in the `self-fashioning’ that the war made possible for women before they fulfilled their `destiny’ of marriage and motherhood. Through detailed investigation, Jolly enables us to read this artless correspondence as inventive `popular art’, London 1939±45, London: Methuen, and to appreciate in particular the humorous accounts of sexual exploration 1977; S. D. G. as evidence of relations between the classes in wartime. Hartley too makes Knowles, A Purgatorial letter-writing one of the central genres in her study of women’s war-time Flame: Seven British Writers on the Second fiction: `At the heart of women’s wartime writing lies an invisible hoard: the World War, Bristol: millions of letters’ (123) because not only was much women’s war-time Bristol Press, 1990; A.

Plain London: Virago, 1995. also uses studies of war-time films to identify state propaganda (although, REVIEWS . 303 .................................................................................................................................................. interestingly, many of the writers considered by all three critics worked for the Ministry of Information). Yet, whereas Hartley uses the terminology of genre in the service of her vast task of cataloguing and describing women’s war-fiction, for Plain genre is a more incisive tool. It enables her to argue for connections between the war and the literature that does not appear to have engaged with it directly, such as, for instance, Dorothy Sayers’s detective fiction, the historical novels of Naomi Mitchison, and Stevie Smith’s comic fantasies. These are three novelists that hold no interest for Hartley, although they also figure prominently in Lassner’s book. Unsurprisingly, the two novelists of major importance to all three studies are Virginia Woolf and Elizabeth Bowen. (Lassner’s two influential studies of Bowen, published in 1990 and 1991, have already helped establish the significance of Bowen’s war- fiction.) Lassner also foregrounds Storm Jameson and Phyllis Bottome for their relentless witnessing to the fate of European Jews, authors glanced over by Hartley and Plain. Lest this should all sound too bleak, let me assure the anxious reader of the perverse imaginative delights to be found in women’s visionary dystopias of the 1930s. Margaret Atwood was not the first! The dominant myths of the period present Britain as a fortress defending village England (`the Nation as Pastoral’ as Simon Featherstone has termed it).5 One of our strongest visual images of the war is of St Paul’s cathedral, unscathed by the Blitz as London burned around it. Yet even London, standing in for the whole country, was thought of as a series of village communes: `Marylebone is my village,’ said Elizabeth Bowen. Films like Graham Greene’s Went the Day Well? and Jan Struther’s Mrs Miniver sum up that idea of the village community overriding class differences in order to oppose the enemy. That propaganda still seems to mesmerize British academics, and it’s hard not to be impressed by women’s role in the extraordinary stand Britain made in 1941, or to stake a claim for their writing being a contribution to

  • Listening to Movies: Film Music and the American Composer Charles Elliston Long Middle School INTRODUCTION I Entered College
    Listening to Movies: Film Music and the American Composer Charles Elliston Long Middle School INTRODUCTION I entered college a naïve 18-year-old musician. I had played guitar for roughly four years and was determined to be the next great Texas blues guitarist. However, I was now in college and taking the standard freshman music literature class. Up to this point the most I knew about music other than rock or blues was that Beethoven was deaf, Mozart composed as a child, and Chopin wrote a really cool piano sonata in B-flat minor. So, we’re sitting in class learning about Berlioz, and all of the sudden it occurred to me: are there any composers still working today? So I risked looking silly and raised my hand to ask my professor if there were composers that were still working today. His response was, “Of course!” In discussing modern composers, the one medium that continuously came up in my literature class was that of film music. It occurred to me then that I knew a lot of modern orchestral music, even though I didn’t really know it. From the time when I was a little kid, I knew the name of John Williams. Some of my earliest memories involved seeing such movies as E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Empire Strikes Back. My father was a musician, so I always noted the music credit in the opening credits. All of those films had the same composer, John Williams. Of course, I was only eight years old at the time, so in my mind I thought that John Williams wrote all the music for the movies.

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

  • An Examination of Jerry Goldsmith's
    THE FORBIDDEN ZONE, ESCAPING EARTH AND TONALITY: AN EXAMINATION OF JERRY GOLDSMITH’S TWELVE-TONE SCORE FOR PLANET OF THE APES VINCENT GASSI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY 2019 © VINCENT GASSI, 2019 ii ABSTRACT Jerry GoldsMith’s twelve-tone score for Planet of the Apes (1968) stands apart in Hollywood’s long history of tonal scores. His extensive use of tone rows and permutations throughout the entire score helped to create the diegetic world so integral to the success of the filM. GoldsMith’s formative years prior to 1967–his training and day to day experience of writing Music for draMatic situations—were critical factors in preparing hiM to meet this challenge. A review of the research on music and eMotion, together with an analysis of GoldsMith’s methods, shows how, in 1967, he was able to create an expressive twelve-tone score which supported the narrative of the filM. The score for Planet of the Apes Marks a pivotal moment in an industry with a long-standing bias toward modernist music. iii For Mary and Bruno Gassi. The gift of music you passed on was a game-changer. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Heartfelt thanks and much love go to my aMazing wife Alison and our awesome children, Daniela, Vince Jr., and Shira, without whose unending patience and encourageMent I could do nothing. I aM ever grateful to my brother Carmen Gassi, not only for introducing me to the music of Jerry GoldsMith, but also for our ongoing conversations over the years about filM music, composers, and composition in general; I’ve learned so much.

  • The Moral Aporia of Race in International Relations by Drawing Attention to the Imperialism Embedded in Much Liberal Thought

In reviewing several prominent periods of the past 100 years, I argue that (a) a powerful, ongoing moral aporia regarding race has marked the practice of international politics and the study of international relations over the century, despite important challenges and (b) it is critically important for the field as a whole to confront both the aporia and these challenges to understand its own moral precarity and to dent ongoing racialized injustices. Keywords aporia, colonialism, international politics, international relations, morality, race, racism Introduction: the aporia of (hidden) conviction1 My simple task in this contribution is to address and analyze morality in international relations (IR) over the past 100 years. I say ‘simple’, because the review process has poked a number of conceptual bears that each comprise layers and layers of assumptions about theories of international relations and practices of international politics (IP). Thoroughly investigating processes of socialization and resocialization in the field or discipline, and also providing openings to potentially new ontologies cannot be tackled in a single article, especially one that, according to the editors’ instructions, should make ‘big statements about critical themes’.

The problem was the box cover art. The cartoon of Susan Tyrrell is so lurid and 80's it was really off-putting. And the promise of "offensive" humor made it sound like a low-rent John Waters movie.

Women’s roles in the war—volunteer nurses, ambulance driver, munitions workers, and land girls—gave them the opportunity to leave the protection of their homes and enter the masculine dominated public sphere. In this dissertation, I examine different genres of women’s writing from the war and trace three aspects of simultaneity as these writings explore the new freedoms, and new and old constraints, that the war brought to women. The three principles of simultaneity explain the conflicting emotions women feel over what the war means

  • The Performance Culture of Burning Man
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE PERFORMANCE CULTURE OF BURNING MAN Wendy Ann Clupper, PhD, 2007 Directed By: Dr. Franklin J. Hildy, Department of Theatre and Performance Studies Theatre in the United States for the last twenty years has been evolving in scope by way of a cultural phenomenon known as Burning Man. In 2006, this festival attracted over forty thousand participants to the Black Rock Desert in Northwestern Nevada to a flat dusty Playa surrounded by mountain ranges. While the natural environment there is hostile, the creative atmosphere is welcoming and invites a broad scope of performative behaviors and genres to be exhibited there, the entire week the festival takes place. Make-shift stages and theme camps, as well as large- scale interactive art pieces play host to participants who dress up in fanciful costumes to perform in all manner of imagining. This dissertation maps out the cultural terrain of Burning Man in order to explain how performing there is form of identity-making and cultural commodity. As one of a handful of North American festivals which expressly discourage commercialism and commodification, theatricality takes the place of significance for entertainment and communication. Performance forms of all kinds historically are represented at Burning Man and this dissertation will investigate and theorize how a new performance culture has emerged from the festival itself and by its presence as a theatrical event, has exposed and expanded performance and theatre forms. This dissertation offers a critical framework through which to consider performance and performers within the Burning Man community as applied to Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of Carnival and the Schema for Theatrical Eventness proposed by the International Federation for Theatre Research Theatrical Events Working Group.
