Perhaps its most mystifying element is its final zoom, which gradually falls on a picture of Jack Torrance beaming in front of a crowd with the caption “July 4 th Ball, Overlook Hotel, 1921.” While Bill Blakemore and others examine the film as a critique of violence in American history, no scholar has thoroughly established the connection between July 4 th, 1921, Jack Torrance, and the rest of the film.

  • The Shining Mazes Roberto Milazzi
    The Shining Mazes Roberto Milazzi Originally published in Caerdroia 41 (2012), p.49-51 “The Shining” was the third novel published by the American author Stephen King in January 1977, and three years later a film based on the novel, produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Jack Nicholson was released. The subject of this note is a key element featuring in the film, but not in the novel, a hedge maze.1 It plays a key role in the development of the plot, narrating the story of a family of three (Jack Torrance, his wife Wendy and their son Denny), set in and around the remote Overlook Hotel among the snowy mountains of Colorado. The position of caretaker is vacant and Jack secures the job, but is required to stay all winter long, when the extreme weather conditions prevent guests reaching the hotel. When the Torrance family arrives at the hotel we see them passing in front of the maze, right in front of the hotel, acknowledged by a plan of the maze on a notice board standing near its entrance. Later, while Wendy and Denny go outside to explore, we see Jack approaching a model of the maze set in the hotel’s lounge. Even if we may be not completely aware of it, its plan matches the one we saw earlier on the sign. Above: the Overlook Maze sign board Left: plan of the maze model and as shown on the sign Below: Jack studying the model in the hotel As the view shifts from an impersonal point of view to the one we assume to be Jack's own, we find ourselves drawn into what is seemingly an aerial view of the real maze, with Wendy and Denny crossing the central ‘chamber’ of the maze.

The search for meaning in crisis Vincent Jaunas “People can misinterpret almost anything so that it coincides with views they already hold”1, Stanley Kubrick told Michel Ciment regarding The Shining. At the time, Kubrick could not have imagined that for almost 40 years, The Shining would arouse such a myriad of interpretations, many of which bordering on pure speculation. And yet the director proves how aware he was as to the challenge his film represented for whoever wished to give it an excessively coherent interpretation. Today, one only needs to explore online forums for a few minutes to observe how spectators are capable to go beyond the limits of hermeneutics to detect supposed hidden meanings in the film. The Shiningis widely regarded as un film à clef, the hidden secrets of which only a handful of sufficiently smart and tenacious spectators could discover.

  • Exposing Traumas in Stephen King's the Shining and Doctor Sleep
    Volume 2 Issue 3 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND December 2015 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Exposing traumas in Stephen King’s The Shining and Doctor Sleep Jessica Folio University of Reunion Island, France Abstract This article aims at casting an innovative light on Stephen King’s The Shining (1977) and its sequel, Doctor Sleep (2013) by showing how theories of trauma are applicable to the mainstream American writer’s work. On the stage set up for his readers, King unveils a journey of traumas but he also lifts up the curtain on the ways to cope with the consequences of these traumas. Both narratives follow the flawed hero, Danny Torrance, reveal the shattering experiences lived by the latter as a five-year-old child in The Shining and the ensuing post traumatic disorders in Doctor Sleep. The texts not only offer a coalescence of traumas, representing a journey of repression and haunting but they equally open the way on the possibility of healing. Keywords: trauma, repression, regression, disorders, repetition compulsion, healing. http://ijhcschiefeditor.wix.com/ijhcs Page 328 Volume 2 Issue 3 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND December 2015 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 “The tears that heal are also the tears that scald and scourge”.1 This quotation from King’s The Shining (1977) encompasses the themes of the monstration of physical and psychological suffering, the repression but equally the resurgence of traumatic events or the quest for redemption. On the stage set up by the mainstream American writer in The Shining and its sequel, Doctor Sleep (2013), King unveils a journey of traumas but also lifts up the veil on the consequences of these traumas and on the ways to roam the path of healing.

  • Minnesota Opera Presents the World Premiere of the Shining
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Eric Broker, Communications Specialist, 612-342-1612, [email protected] Carol Schuler, 612-281-7030, [email protected] Minnesota Opera Presents the World Premiere of The Shining Stephen King’s best-selling novel comes to life in a gripping new opera by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Paul Moravec and librettist Mark Campbell MINNEAPOLIS (April 13, 2016) – Minnesota Opera concludes its 2015-2016 season with the highly anticipated world premiere of The Shining, a new opera by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Paul Moravec and librettist Mark Campbell, premiering at the Music Theater at the Ordway in St. Paul, Minnesota on May 7, 2016. Based on the 1977 best-selling novel, The Shining is the iconic, supernatural horror story that firmly established Stephen King as the genre’s definitive voice. The novel, like the opera, is a gripping thriller about the struggles of Jack Torrance, his wife Wendy and their son Danny, to survive the isolation of the Overlook Hotel in Colorado where Jack has been engaged as winter caretaker. The family endeavors to remain together in spite of their growing isolation from the world, the hotel’s paranormal activity and Jack’s abusive nature, alcoholism and growing madness. “It’s tremendously exciting that Stephen King granted us permission to adapt The Shining into an opera,” said Minnesota Opera’s Artistic Director Dale Johnson. “Opera has the unique ability to amplify a story’s emotions. By putting one of the most powerfully imagined stories of our time into the hands of Paul Moravec and Mark Campbell, we’ve created an intensely thrilling horror opera.
