  • Chapter II: “The Friendly Abyss”
    Chapter II: “The Friendly Abyss” “To understand the cause of Humbert’s obsessive behaviour towards Lolita, we must consider his character […] as a cultural exile […] whose ignoble fate it is to wander aimlessly with Lolita along the margins and byways of American society, sans roots […] sans anything save his glorious memories of an older European world.” John Haegert, “Artist in Exile: The Americanization of Humbert Humbert”, 1985 “If I wanted to destroy a nation I would give it too much, and have it on its knees, miserable, greedy and weak.” John Steinbeck, in a letter to a friend, 1959. 1. Brief Cultural and Historical Contextualisation of Lolita – from 1945 to 1959. Lolita’s cultural backdrop is inseparable from the post-World War II. The novel’s core action begins in the spring of 1947, when Humbert meets Lolita in Ramsdale, and ends in 1952, whith Humbert’s death in jail, followed by Lolita’s some months later on Christmas day. The Second World War had come to an end only seven years before, on August 15, 1945. The Japanese surrender had been arduous and lengthy, culminating in President Truman’s controversial launch of two atomic bombs on Japanese territory. While America enjoyed a victory coupled with few causalities and a rising economy, Europeans dealt with the destruction caused by the Nazi invasions. Most of the losses suffered were not on American soil, but on European and Japanese (Vide Annexes 1 and 2). The lack of bombed buildings and invaded cities did not mean America was deprived of the effects of WWII.

  • Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release June 1990 Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965 July 1 - September 11, 1990 This summer, The Museum of Modern Art pays tribute to Twentieth Century Fox with a retrospective of over ninety films made between 1935 and 1965. Opening on July 1, 1990, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX: 1935-1965 traces three key decades in the history of the studio, celebrating the talents of the artists on both sides of the cameras who shaped this period. The exhibition continues through September 11. Formed in 1915, the Fox Film Corporation merged in 1935 with the much younger Twentieth Century to launch a major new studio. Under the supervision of Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century Fox developed a new house style, emphasizing epic biographies such as John Ford's The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) and Allan Dwan's Suez (1938) and snappy urban pictures such as Sidney Lanfield's Hake Up and Live (1937) and Roy Del Ruth's Thanks a Million (1935). The studio also featured such fresh screen personalities as Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Shirley Temple. From this time on, the studio masterfully anticipated and shaped the tastes of the movie-going public. During World War II, Twentieth Century Fox made its mark with a series of exuberant Technicolor musicals featuring such actresses as Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda. After the war, the studio shifted focus and began to highlight other genres including films noirs such as Edmund Goulding's Nightmare Alley (1947) and Otto Preminger's Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950), wry satirical films such as Joseph L.
