CHAPTER 1 THE 1930s ’ PLAYS (1936 – 1940) Williams in the Thirties Much of Williams ’ s early playwriting was shaped by the social, economic, and artistic environment of the 1930s. His most important theatrical relationship at the time was with director Willard Holland and Th e Mummers of St Louis, a group dedicated to the drama of social action that was vital to American theatrical culture in the 1930s. Candles to the Sun (1937), based on a coal mining strike, and Fugitive Kind (1937), about the denizens of a seedy urban hotel, were both produced by Th e Mummers, and Not About Nightingales (1938), about brutal abuses in the American prison system, was intended for them, although they disbanded before the play was produced. Th e other major infl uence on Williams ’ s early development as a playwright was the playwriting program at the University of Iowa, which he attended in 1937 – 38. Its director, E. C. Mabie, had worked for the Federal Th eatre Project (FTP), the only federally subsidized theatre in American history, which existed briefl y from 1935 until 1939, when its funding was cut by a Congress that objected to its leftist leanings.

  • Orpheus As Pie-Maker: a Classical Conundrum in American Pop Culture
    Orpheus as Pie-Maker: A Classical Conundrum in American Pop Culture The brightly macabre TV series Pushing Daisies provides a fascinating case study of the influence of classicism on popular contemporary media. Centered on the Pie-maker Ned—a character who can bring the dead back to life, but under specific restrictions—the show’s narrative premise has overt thematic as well as more latent structural similarities to the story of Orpheus. However, one wonders whether the points of contact between the tale of Orpheus and the tale of the Pie-maker are deliberate or whether they are happy coincidences. Interviews, commentaries and statements by the show’s creator and head writer Bryan Fuller yield little to no evidence in support of an intentional Orphic subtext; however, when the hive of intertextuality that is Pushing Daisies is examined in detail, honeycombs of potentially intentional allusions emerge. Using the semiotic systems of C. S. Peirce and Roman Jakobson, I will show how intertextuality works on three primary levels: the trope or analogue, the deliberate homage, and the intentional subtext. Each level builds on the next. To determine whether or not Pushing Daisies purposely uses the Orpheus myth as a subtext, one would need to prove that all three levels of intertextuality are explicitly at play. When considered in isolation, the Orphic elements are so masterfully masked and so seamlessly interwoven into the main action of each installment in the series that any unequivocal imputation of Orphism in Pushing Daisies is problematic: at least two levels of intertextuality—the trope and the intentional subtext—are clearly at play: the superficial commonality displayed in the limited power of resurrection is underpinned by subtle references to the Orpheus myth in other ancient and contemporary texts, such as Cocteau’s Orphée, Lumet’s The Fugitive Kind (the film adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ Orpheus Descending), and Vergil’s Georgics.

CONCLUSION . .0 . .......-. 68 BIBLIOGRAPHY. - - . - - - - . - - 75 iii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION There are numerous ways to approach the works of a playwright critically; one is to examine the individual writer's "point of view" in order to define what the man is trying to "say" from his chosen vantage point. This tactic seems as appropriate as any in approaching the works of Tennessee Williams. The plays of Tennessee Williams are written from an in- dividual's point of view; i. e., none of the plays are con- cerned with a social or universal outlook as such; rather each play "takes the shape of a vision proceeding from the consciousness of the protagonist."1 In other words, each one of Williams' plays "belongs" to one central "camera eye" character. Everything that happens is directly related to this character and his perception of and his subsequent adjustment to his environment. Furthermore, the majority of these central characters fall into certain categories which recur in the Williams canon. Some of these categories have been critically labeled and defined, but none of the studies Esther Merl6 Jackson, The Broken World of Tennessee Williams (Milwaukee, 1965), p.

  • 12 Homens Em Fúria - 1957
    12 homens em fúria - 1957 Título original: 12 angry men Realizador: Sidney Lumet Argumento: Reginald Rose Actores principais: Martin Balsam; John Fiedler; Lee J. Cobb; E.G. Marshall; Jack Klugman; Edward Binns; Jack Warden; Henry Fonda; Joseph Sweeney; Ed Begley; George Voskovec; Robert Webber Música: Kenyon Hopkins Produtores: Henry Fonda; Reginald Rose; George Justin. Resumo Realizado em 1957, ou seja há 57 anos, 12 homens em fúria é um clássico dos filmes de tribunal. Toda a acção decorre no tribunal mais precisamente dentro da sala de jurados de um Tribunal de N.Y. A grande maioria dos críticos considera o filme uma brilhante dissertação sobre o conceito de “culpa para além de qualquer dúvida razoável” do direito criminal americano e um tratado sobre a arte de obter consensos. Onze jurados começam por votar a favor da condenação do jovem suposto portoriquenho mas o jurado n.° 8 (a quiet, thoughtful, gentle man. A man who sees all sides of every question ….a man of strength tempered with compassion) não está convencido e vai expondo as suas dúvidas de forma sistemática até que os outros jurados admitem rever o voto anterior. 12 homens em fúria é o primeiro filme de Sidney Lumet (antes trabalhara para séries televisivas) e baseia-se numa peça para televisão de Reginald Rose que decidiu teatralizar a sua anterior experiência precisamente como membro de um júri. O filme tem a particularidade de ser produzido por Reginald Rose e pelo actor Henry Fonda (jurado n° 8) – que então declarou nunca mais vir a produzir qualquer filme. A crítica The principle of reasonable doubt, the belief that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty, is one of the most enlightened elements of our Constitution, although many Americans have had difficulty in accepting it.

  • Appendix 1: Selected Films
    Appendix 1: Selected Films The very random selection of films in this appendix may appear to be arbitrary, but it is an attempt to suggest, from a varied collection of titles not otherwise fully covered in this volume, that approaches to the treatment of sex in the cinema can represent a broad church indeed. Not all the films listed below are accomplished – and some are frankly maladroit – but they all have areas of interest in the ways in which they utilise some form of erotic expression. Barbarella (1968, directed by Roger Vadim) This French/Italian adaptation of the witty and transgressive science fiction comic strip embraces its own trash ethos with gusto, and creates an eccentric, utterly arti- ficial world for its foolhardy female astronaut, who Jane Fonda plays as basically a female Candide in space. The film is full of off- kilter sexuality, such as the evil Black Queen played by Anita Pallenberg as a predatory lesbian, while the opening scene features a space- suited figure stripping in zero gravity under the credits to reveal a naked Jane Fonda. Her peekaboo outfits in the film are cleverly designed, but belong firmly to the actress’s pre- feminist persona – although it might be argued that Barbarella herself, rather than being the sexual plaything for men one might imagine, in fact uses men to grant herself sexual gratification. The Blood Rose/La Rose Écorchée (aka Ravaged, 1970, directed by Claude Mulot) The delirious The Blood Rose was trumpeted as ‘The First Sex Horror Film Ever Made’. In its uncut European version, Claude Mulot’s film begins very much like an arthouse movie of the kind made by such directors as Alain Resnais: unortho- dox editing and tricks with time and the film’s chronology are used to destabilise the viewer.

  • O Veredicto – 1982
    O Veredicto – 1982 Título original: The Verdict Realizador: Sidney Lumet Argumento: David Mamet, adapatado do livro The Verdict de Barry Reed; Actores principais: Paul Newman, Charlotte Rampling, Jack Warden, James Mason, Milo O'Shea; Produtores: David Brown e Richard D. Zanuck Resumo Frank Galvin, advogado alcoólico e em fase de depressão, aceita defender a vitima de um caso de negligência/erro médico ocorrido num conceituado hospital católico de Boston basicamente com o intuito de recuperar a auto-estima e a dignidade profissional. Apesar da generosa oferta de uma indmnização para resolver extrajudicialmente o caso, Frank, após visitar a doente no hospital, apercebe-se da gravidade da situação clinica da doente, recusa a indemnização e decide levar o caso a tribunal. Naturalmente, o Hospital e a Igreja Católica contratam a mais reputada firma de advogados da cidade que lança uma campanha sem escrúpulos destinada a desacreditar a accão e o avogado que a patrocina. A crítica (……..) But Galvin makes the mistake of going to see the young victim in a hospital, where she is alive but in a coma. And something snaps inside of him. He determines to try this case, by god, and to prove that the doctors who took her mind away from her were guilty of incompetence and dishonesty. In Galvin's mind, bringing this case to court is one and the same thing with regaining his self-respect - with emerging from his own alcoholic coma. Galvin's redemption takes place within the framework of a courtroom thriller. The screenplay by David Mamet is a wonder of good dialogue, strongly seen characters and a structure that pays off in the big courtroom scene - as the genre requires.
