  • James Bond: an International Cultural History
    Richmond, the American International University in London November 2015 COURSE SPECIFICATION DOCUMENT Academic School / Department: CASS Programme: BA History FHEQ Level: 5 Course Title: James Bond: An International Cultural History Course Code: HST 5500 Course Leader: Martin D. Brown Student Engagement Hours: 120 (standard 3- credit BA course) Lectures: 22.5 Seminar / Tutorials: 22.5 Independent / Guided Learning: 75 Semester: Summer Credits: 12 UK CATS credits 6 ECTS credits 3 US credits Course Description: James Bond (007) is a global brand: for sixty years a hugely popular cultural icon, with around half of the planet having seen a Bond film. Bond is a quintessentially British creation; yet his adventures were set on a global stage and reflect the contemporary political milieu – from fighting communists with his American cousins to today battles with terrorists, media barons and assorted megalomaniacs. This course is therefore also a study of the second half of the twentieth century – particularly the special relationship between the US and the UK. Equally relevant are issues related to branding, class, race, gender, product placement and popular music. Students will visit key historical sites related to the history of Bond, using locations (particularly in London) as well as both the books and films as a means to study international history, as well as cultural and political change. Special note: site visits may change subject to availability and faculty expertise. Prerequisites: ARW 4195 or GEP 4180 or HST 3205 Aims and Objectives: To introduce students to contemporary, post-1945 international history through the character of James Bond. Richmond, the American International University in London November 2015 To place the Bond character within a wider cultural, political and historical framework.

The spies John Updike once postulated that when novelists put another writer as a character in their fiction, they inadvertently reveal a lot about themselves and their own novelistic foibles and mannerisms. who lived It’s a somewhat contentious claim. After all, Updike’s own fictional novelist, Henry Bech, is not exactly a self-portrait. It is relatively straightforward here to think up a few examples where the asseveration rings true, however: Muriel Spark and Fleur Talbot, Somerset Maugham and Ashenden, Doris Lessing How I found James Bond’s and Anna Wulf, Philp Roth and Nathan Zuckerman, Graham Greene and Maurice Bendrix, Sylvia Plath precise address and Esther Greenwood, to name a few. By the same token, I am now coming to believe that the homes WILLIAM BOYD novelists create in their novels for their protagonists may be similarly revealing – as Fleming’s and le Carré’s choices suggest.

  • Stranger Than Fiction: James Bond, Fantasy, And
    CHAPTER III - STRANGER THAN FICTION: JAMES BOND, FANTASY, AND LITERATURE Real-life espionage stories showed the British public had an appetite for accounts of espionage and the more salacious the better. As newspaper coverage of spies became increasingly prurient, spy fiction also increasingly reflected Britons’ desires to consume more turpitude and drama in espionage narratives. In 1953, Ian Fleming attempted to come to terms with the monotony of his life by creating his own fictional world of perpetual sex, luxury, and adventure.76 Fleming introduced his protagonist, James Bond, in a haze of stale cigarette smoke and sweat, walking away from a table of men gambling away millions in a high stakes casino in the novel Casino Royale. As Bond walked away, he said he knew when he was at the point of exhaustion that created mistakes, and James Bond never made mistakes.77 Fleming created a man full of certainty with access to everything from women to money. Though James Bond was a spy, the novels were truly about luxury and sex. The James Bond novels occurred during continued rationing and economic uncertainty; therefore, Bond was the ultimate fantasy. The fantasy of James Bond drew on hyper-sexuality, hyper-masculinity, and extreme nationalism and wealth. James Bond was not the only spy in literature at this moment; however, Desmond Cory and John Le Carré shaped their spy characters in response to the Bond phenomenon, demonstrating that the presence of Bond profoundly impacted the genre of spy fiction. 76 John Pearson, The Life of Ian Fleming (London, UK: Bloomsbury Reader, 2011), Introduction, Kindle ebook.
