How Hollywood Films Portray Illness Robert A. Clark, M.D. Part I: Oncology Art imitates life, we are often told. Occasionally we also observe that life imitates art. Hollywood movies may fulfill the definition of art in both these adages. Movies evoke our fantasies, fears, loves, and hates and therefore reflect our lives. The art of film, however, diverges from real life because of the necessities of good story- telling: dramatization, plot lines, character development, and romanticism. There- fore, films are often imperfect reflections of our lives. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “There are no second acts in life.” Movies have been blamed for creating disturbing or profane cultural images, leading to societal ills such as violence, sexual deviancy, and isolation. Whether art imitates life or the reverse, it may be instructive to study how movies depict medi- cal themes, especially oncology, in order to understand how cancer and medicine are perceived in popular culture.

  • Under Capricorn Symposium Were Each Given a 30 Minute Slot to Deliver Their Paper and Respond to Questions
    Papers based on the Symposium held at Kings College, University of London, 5th & 6th September, 2019 1 Introductory Note Speakers at the Under Capricorn Symposium were each given a 30 minute slot to deliver their paper and respond to questions. In preparing for this collection, all the papers have been revised and several have been considerably developed to provide additional context, argument and analysis. Apart from changes in format introduced to create a unified document (and in one or two cases to integrate images), the papers appear as the writers submitted them. The papers are arranged in the order of the symposium programme, with one exception. Bertrand Tavernier was unfortunately unable to attend and his paper is the first the reader will encounter. Papers that do not appear in this collection are marked by an asterisk in the programme. 2 Under Capricorn at 70 King’s College, University of London th th 5 and 6 September 2019 Day 1 5 September 9:00 - 9:30 Registration 9:30 - 10:00 Welcome & Introductions 10:00 - 10:30 An Overview of Under Capricorn Stéphane Duckett 10:30 - 11:00 Hitchcock and Ireland Charles Barr * 11:00 - 11:30 Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.

  • Filming Jane Austen PENNY GAY
    Pictures of Perfection? Filming Jane Austen PENNY GAY At first glance, the glut of films and television adaptations of Jane Austen’s novels in the 1990s looks like nothing more than a massive indulgence in the chocolate-box of the Heritage Industry as we hurtle mercilessly towards the millennium and the uncertainties of the cyber-world. But there is more to it than that: each of the recent successful films is markedly different in what it takes from and what it adds to Jane Austen; each adapts the novel in order to fulfil a specific artistic agenda which meets the cultural needs of the community it envisages as audience. Why adapt an Austen novel? The simplest answer has to be that she provides many of the ingredients that have traditionally engaged audiences: a narrative that centres on the coming to maturity of a young person; a love story; moral and ethical dilemmas satisfyingly resolved. All of this takes place among people who are recognisably like ourselves in their psychological make-up, supported by a cast of lesser characters who fill a range from the gently comic to the grotesque. Austen’s world, despite the manifest differences in social structure, is that of the literate middle-class which her readers still inhabit. Further, however, there is the peculiar delight offered to readers by Austen’s narratorial voice: a wit which both tells and structures the story in such a way as to draw us into intellectual complicity, a recognition of shared cleverness, emotional insight, and wisdom. The challenge for any adaptor is to find a way of representing this voice, in order that some at least of Jane Austen’s charm might magically rub off onto this new product.
