  • Looking Back at the British New Wave
    Looking Back at the British New Wave Ya e l Z a rh y-L e v o The evolution of what has come to be called the British New Wave offers an intriguing case of the critics’ mediating and constitutive role in the forming of a movement, school or trend (Zarhy-Levo 2001). This particular instance, however, illustrates a case of ‘second-order mediation’, namely that of the film critics voicing their perception that a new phase had begun in the cinematic domain by relying on and exploiting the ‘ready-made’ critical discourse already constructed around the literary and theatrical developments that had taken place a few years earlier, most notably the designation of the Angry Young Man (AYM) phenomenon and the prevailing judgements surrounding the Royal Court Theatre’s productions, particularly that of John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger (Zarhy-Levo 2008). To this extent, I suggest, the discourse constructed by literary and theatre critics not only provided the film critics with a ready-made means to promote a new wave, but also seemed to have inspired them to advocate their perception of progress in the cinematic domain. Moreover, the film critics’ reliance on this discourse can also account for the somewhat puzzling elements in their definition of the British New Wave, namely the date of its beginning and the films which it encompasses. The British New Wave is commonly perceived as comprising nine particular films released between 1959 and 1963: Room at the Top (1959), Look Back in Anger (1959), The Entertainer (1960), Saturday Night and Sunday Morning

  • Wymondham Words 2016 Programme, PDF, 4.3 MB
    13 Oct – 2 Nov 2016 South Norfolk’s festival of literature, poetry, drama and conversation Visit our website: www.wymwords.co.uk Wymondham Words is a Wymondham Arts Forum project. Reg. Charity No. 1153188 Welcome to Wymondham Words 2016 Incredibly, 2016 is the seventh year of Wymondham Words. This October promises to be a wonderful festival with a great mix of Norfolk-based writers, and others from further afield. We begin with a visit from one of the UK’s finest non-fiction writers, Philip Hoare, winner of the prestigious Samuel Johnson Prize for his magnificent book on whales, Leviathan. With the news of multiple sperm whales stranded on the north Norfolk coast at the start of the year, and the rather happier recent sightings of a returning humpback whale – affectionately christened ‘Scroby Dick’ – which has spent recent winters feeding off the northeast coast of the county, Philip’s incredible first- hand knowledge of the planet’s largest creatures makes this an event not to miss. The Festival holds its first ever event in the town’s fascinating Bridewell Heritage Museum, an eighteenth-century prison. The event is suitably fitting for the venue, as we are visited by Dr John A. Davies, Chief Curator for Norfolk Museums, and his colleague Dr Tim Pestell to talk about their book A History of Norfolk in 100 Objects. Dr Graham Platts also visits us to deliver a free lecture on the early development of the English language in the striking new extension of Wymondham Abbey. More-recent history follows, as we are joined by Keiron Don Bartlett and Adriana Hunter at last year’s Not Lost in Translation event.

Finally, I propose a personal explanation why such topics as education, politics, relationships, national identity and language, form a crucial part of the ongoing national narratives and social debates.
