    Election and Little Children

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals... Abject Humanism in Tom Perrotta Adaptations: Election and Little Children WYATT MOSS-WELINGTON One of the key figures in the development of a suburban ensemble cinema over the past two decades has been author Tom Perrotta, whose novels typically feature multi-focalised structures, blended affect, and suburban scrutiny. Two of his books were translated to cinema, Election (1999) and Little Children (2006), directed by Alexander Payne and Todd Field respectively, and more recently The Leftovers has been adapted as an HBO serial. Election and Little Children are both high-profile examples of the suburban ensemble dramedy, a millennial American filmmaking mode similarly featuring multiple protagonists, usually half sentimental and half satirical, set in different iterations of the American suburbs; other popular titles include American Beauty (Sam Mendes, 1999), Little Miss Sunshine (Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, 2006) and The Kids Are All Right (Lisa Cholodenko, 2010). These films have often been called ‘human dramas’ and are an example of what I call narrative humanism. In this paper I wish to extend the scope of literary and narrative humanisms, using the Perrotta adaptations to articulate the role abjection might play in suburban ensemble cinema. The paper also demonstrates how a humanist hermeneutic method that accounts for the abject can produce a new, complex ethical inquiry that is focussed on honouring the challenges we face in living up to the prosociality humanism espouses. Narrative humanism refers to attempts to understand and record versions of human social complexity in narrative, the remit of the human drama.

    EDITORIAL 2019 – Jahr der Frauen Wer sich in einigen Jahren zurückerinnern wird, wann das Zeitalter der Frauen wirklich begann, kommt um die Erkenntnis nicht herum: 2019 warʼs so weit. Christine Lagarde wurde als Präsidentin der Europäischen Zentralbank eine der mächtigsten Wirtschaftsführerinnen. Ihren Job beim Internatio- nalen Währungsfonds übernahm die Bulgarin Kris- talina Georgiewa. Zugleich wurde die EU-Kommissi- on von der Deutschen Ursula von der Leyen erobert. Und in den USA startete die Demokratin Nancy Pelo- si als Sprecherin des Repräsentantenhauses und da- mit wichtigste Gegenspielerin jenes Präsidenten, wegen dem man dieses wunderbare Land nur noch bemitleiden kann. Apropos Trump: Die Machtverschiebung hatte nicht nur mit den klugen Frauen zu tun, die 2019 Schlüsselposi- tionen errangen. Es lag auch an den Männern selbst, die noch mal richtig zeigen wollten, wie dumpf sie sein konnten, von Trump und Boris Johnson bis Erdogan oder Kim Jong Un. Und jetzt? Schafft es eine 16-jährige Schwedin, die Weltgemein- schaft aufzurütteln in der wichtigsten Frage: Wie lässt sich der Klimawandel noch stoppen? Zugege- ben: Greta Thunberg polarisiert. Aber selbst das zeigt, welche Fortschritte wir machen. Gelebte Gleichberechtigung heißt nun auch: Die Frauen können genauso klug oder dumm, erfolgreich oder glücklos sein wie die Männer. Von Andrea Nahles über Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer bis Theresa May – auch ihr Scheitern gehört zur neuen Normalität.
