  • Understanding Bollywood Films (Courtesy of Nadine Dable)
    Understanding Bollywood Films (courtesy of Nadine Dable) Influences: - Sanskrit theatre (the nine traditional rasas, see below) - Popular theatre (in particular Parsi theatre, which frequently combines both Indian and Western dramatic traditions) - The great Sanskrit epics (Ramayana, Mahabharata) - Western cinematic conventions Censorship: - initially, during British occupation, political censorship (with regard to independence movements) - erotic scenes, in particular kissing Typical/recurrent elements: Hybridity: Indian films are supposed to address themselves to, and reflect, all (or as many as possible of) the 9 “rasas”, that is, moods, or emotions: shringara (love, beauty, devotion), hasya (joy, humour, sarcasm), adbhuta (wonder, curiosity, mystery), shanta (peace, calmness, relaxation), raudra (anger, irritation, stress), veera (courage, pride, confidence), karuna (sadness, compassion, pity, sympathy), bhayanaka (fear, anxiety, worry), vibshata (disgust, depression, self-pity). As a result – and also as a legacy of the heterogeneous influences which Bollywood films have absorbed), they are hybrid in terms of their filmic genres as well (romance, thriller, political thriller, action film, western, fantasy, musical, comedy etc. etc.). One of the most important of these elements is the musical – song and dance routines (solos, duets, group performances with “supporting” dancers and singers). Characters: characters are often stereotypical (or “flat” in lit.crit. terms), for instance the strict patriarch, the scheming grandmother, the comedian etc.; the actors often use gestures, facial expressions etc. which seem exaggerated to western spectators. Some of these gestures are not easy to interpret as body language must be understood in the context of a given culture (examples: touching another person’s feet in order to express one’s respect for this person, shaking one’s thumb to express disapproval etc.).

  • The Hollywood Political Thriller During the Cold War, 1945
    The Hollywood Political Thriller During the Cold War, 1945 - 1962 Submitted by Deena Bowman to the University of Exeter as a Thesis for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film Studies, December 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The past four years have presented enumerable challenges, but my family and friends have remained by my side, helping me to move forward. Thanks go to the University of Exeter for providing me an opportunity to pursue my love of film and history. To Dr. Tomas Williams and Dr. Gábor Gergely for stimulating conversations over dinner and football. Sincere thanks go to Professor William Higbee for agreeing to supervise me in the final days of this project. Lastly, I am forever grateful to Professor Susan Hayward, a mentor and friend. 3 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates a corpus of films identifiable as Hollywood political thrillers during the Cold War spanning a period of seventeen years, between 1945 and 1962. It aims to dispel the assertion by critics and scholars that the political thriller originates with the release of The Manchurian Candidate (Frankenheimer, 1962). Moreover, it is my intent to engage an interdisciplinary approach given that the relationship between contemporary American cinema, ideology and propaganda has often been overlooked (see Shaw, 2007).

  • Nun-Turned-Archaeologist Pens Two Lively Historical Novel Series Set in Ancient Egypt, Taking Us Behind the Scenes of a Kingdom with Parallels to Today’S America
    Nun-Turned-Archaeologist Pens Two Lively Historical Novel Series Set In Ancient Egypt, Taking Us Behind The Scenes of a Kingdom With Parallels To Today’s America What kind of books would a nun-turned-archaeologist write? Answer: Two intriguing series, both powerful historical fiction set in the fascinating period of Egyptian rule some 3,300 years ago. The Lord Hani Mysteries and The Empire at Twilight series rely on author N.L. Holmes’ extensive knowledge of this period in ancient Egypt and her vivid imagination to dig up the past and present a relevant, page-turning set of mysteries. They capture the attention of those who are curious about what happened behind-the-scenes of one of the greatest dynasties. Her books explore the explosive dynamics of family and power behind the kingdom, sharing adventurous stories through provocative protagonists. “These books explore a time and people that reveal some similarities to today’s time of political unrest and cultural change,” says Holmes. Indeed, she insightfully understands human nature and how that drives motives and actions to create extraordinary stories. Holmes will share the following in an interview: Why she left the convent after two decades to be an archaeologist and professor for 25 years. How historical fictions helps us gain an appreciation of history and a greater perspective of today. Why the kingdom of the man who was King Tut’s father is so interesting. What happens when there is great cultural, religious and political change in a short period of time. What we learn from studying the dynamics between a totalitarian regime and its servants.
