  • Electric Dreams: Computers in American Culture

    Electric Dreams: Computers in American Culture

    Electric Dreams: Computers in American Culture By Ted Friedman New York: New York University Press, 2005. ISBN 0-1847-2739-5. 31 illustrations, 286pp. £14.50 (pbk), £41.50 (hbk) A review by Anne Petersen, University of Oregon, USA Electric Dreams takes two issues to task: our collective lack of historical context concerning the computer, and the promotion of the hope for a utopian (computer-influenced) future. By investigating the tension induced by what he terms "the dialectic of technological determinism," Ted Friedman, a Professor of Communication at Georgia State University, claims there is room, even hope, for utopian visions of the future. Because "Americans don"t take computers for granted yet," their uses and meanings are not fixed (2). Friedman calls his readers to think differently about computers, to reexamine their history, their exponential evolution, and their future utility. Instead of commodities with ever-increasing speed, memory, and capabilities, if we consider them as creations with the potential to dissolve gender or race, to eliminate (instead of produce) sweat-shop labour....then the utopian technological sphere envisioned by generations of sci-fi writers and pro-technology pundits may be realised. The only way that this will happen, however, is if we cease thinking about a computer as merely the labour-saving tool that performs a number of processes: that allows me to word process this review, to email it as an attachment, to read Scope on-line. Electric Dreams forwards this thesis by providing the reader with an engaging, extremely readable account of the genealogy of the computer. Friedman introduces each "ancestor" of the laptop, from Charles Babbage and Ana Lovelace's original innovations to the basement- filling mainframes created for the military.

  • Preston Sturges & the Marx Bros

    Preston Sturges & the Marx Bros

    Preston Sturges & The Marx Bros. by Richard von Busack “Somebody said that all I needed for success in American life was a bass voice and a muscular handshake, so I seized producers with a powerful grip, looked piercingly into their eyes and asked them in my deepest tones if they doubted for a second if I could direct. “When they said, ‘no’, and I said, “Then when do I start,’ they said, “As soon as you’ve directed for anybody else.” Such was Preston Sturges’ dilemma in the late 1930s. He was one of the best-paid writers in Hollywood, where, as the saying went, you never saw so many unhappy people earning $100,000 a year. He had worked for Goldwyn, MGM and Universal, had writ- ten dialogue for kings and drum majorettes alike, and he was burning to direct. It was during this time that a script of Sturges’ titled “The Vagrant” was being pre- pared for filming. Sturges offered his services as director for the sum of $1. Paramount producer William LeBaron accepted the deal for $10 to make it more official. The script was retitled “The Great McGinty.” In parting, LeBaron warned the novice direc- tor that he’d be happier as a writer: “Shoemaker, stick to your last!” “You show me a man who sticks to his last, and I’ll show you a shoemaker,” Sturges thought to himself, on the staircase out of the office. So began the directing career of Preston Sturges. In a startlingly short rush of creative fervor, which chronologically paralleled the US’s most desperate years during World War II, Sturges directed seven peerless comedies.
  • Closest Equivalent to Restoration Comedy”

    Closest Equivalent to Restoration Comedy”

    American Movies’ ”Closest Equivalent to Restoration Comedy” By Oliver Tilley Fall 2009 Issue of KINEMA ”IT MAY BE AMERICAN MOVIES’ CLOSEST EQUIVALENT TO RESTORATION COMEDY” (Pauline Kael on Bringing Up Baby) I will attempt to ascertain the accuracy of Pauline Kael’s comment. It is a difficult issue, demanding a telescoping of two distinctive cultures, nations and media as well as an exploration of the concept of genre and intertextuality. In many ways Kael’s assertion - written, as she herself attests ’hurriedly’, being ’frequently dependent on [her] old, spotty memories’(1) - is superficial and breaks down after analysis. Her comparison is flawed in its assumptions that genres can contain such diverse works as they denote, over a fifty-year period on the one hand and a 10 year period on the other; while the idea that these genres can then be parallelled with each other is yet further problematic. Despite this, Kael’s perhaps unthinking observation proves a worthwhile area to explore and reach beyond the surface qualities of tone and style on which she seems to base her assessment. Kael, in her conversation with Ann Geracimos in 1969 concerning the ’Woman Reading’, discusses how much she loves reading, how it is her ’favourite’ pastime and how she could ’live without movies much more easily than [she] could live without books’(2). During her conversation with Geracimos, Kael details a large variety of books, ranging from Nabokov to Synge, which she had read or which she had found compelling, with, significantly, no mention of Restoration Comedy. It is still possible that she had deeply exploredthe genre and simply not thought to mention her interest during this interview, but it offers the provocative suggestion that she has never read, and only cursorily seen, any of the plays.

    ABSTRACT “What's the Matter with Bigamy?” the American Family In

    ABSTRACT “What’s the Matter with Bigamy?” The American Family in the Wartime Comedies of Preston Sturges Felix M. Gonzalez, Jr., M.A. Thesis Chairperson: James M. Kendrick, Ph.D. The 1940s comedies of writer-director Preston Sturges are known for their satirical narratives and eccentric characters. They were made during a period in Hollywood history when filmmakers adhered to the strict Production Code, ensuring that movies projected a wholesome image of American society. The purpose of this study was to explore the reflection of America during World War II as a troubled and disordered society through the unconventional depictions of the American family in five Sturges films: The Great McGinty (1940), The Lady Eve (1941), The Palm Beach Story (1942), The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek (1944), and Hail the Conquering Hero (1944). Content analyses revealed a pessimistic viewpoint that defied the moral principles of the Production Code and the typical representations of American society in popular wartime films. Sturges’ depiction of the family is one of disunity and deception, in contrast to the cheerful surfaces of his narratives. “What’s the Matter with Bigamy?” The American Family in the Wartime Comedies of Preston Sturges by Felix M.

  • Preston Sturges and the End of Laughter Alenka Zupancic

    Preston Sturges and the End of Laughter Alenka Zupancic

    Abstract: Preston Sturges embodies, in his own person, the break C R between the so-called “old” and “new” Hollywood, the decline of the I latter’s “golden age”, which roughly coincides with the decline of the S Preston Sturges and I studio system. The paper analyses this break and the wider social S circumstances related to it through discussion of two of Sturges’ films. Sullivan’s Travels carries the date 1941 and certainly represents one & of the peaks of the old Hollywood, whereas Unfaithfully Yours (1948) The End of Laughter C already belongs to a different era. Both films are comedies, yet they R are profoundly different in form as well as in spirit. The paper focuses I particularly on how Sturges’ cinematic genius responds to the question T I which has been in the air at that time, and which also seems to be very Q relevant today: should artists engage with the pressing issues of their U time, and how? E / Alenka Zupancic Keywords: Comedy, laughter, social relations, collective, ideology Volume 7.2 / Issue 2 There seems to be a unanimous agreement that Preston Sturges embodies the very point when something irreversible happens to the classical Hollywood (and particularly to comedy1); something that irreversibly changes the direction and even the “nature” of Hollywood, ending the so-called golden age of Hollywood (on the systemic level this is of course related to the beginning of the decline of the studio system). Sturges embodies this shift in the most literal sense: his opus is quite literally split in two.
