Liminal soundscapes in Powell & Pressburger’s wartime films Anita Jorge Université de Lorraine This article explores Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger’s wartime films through the prism of the soundscape, focusing on the liminal function of sound. Dwelling on such films as 49th Parallel (1941) and One of Our Aircraft is Missing (1942), it argues that sound acts as a diegetic tool translating the action into a spatiotemporal elsewhere, as well as a liberation tool, enabling the people threatened by Nazi assimilation to reach for a more permissive world where restrictions no longer operate. Lastly, the soundscape serves as a ‘translanguage’, bridging the gap between soldiers and civilians, or between different nations fighting against a common enemy, thus giving birth to a transnational community.

  • Shoot the Messenger
    Shoot the Messenger Dir: Ngozi Onwurah, UK, 2006 A review by Stephen Harper, University of Portsmouth, UK The BBC drama Shoot the Messenger (BBC2, 30 August, 2006) is a provocative exploration of racial politics within London's African Caribbean community. Originally entitled Fuck Black People!, the film provoked strong criticism, not least from the pressure group Ligali. The drama was written by Sharon Foster, best known as the writer of Babyfather, who won the Dennis Potter Screenwriting Award for her screenplay. David Oyelowo plays Joe Pascale, a well-meaning middle class schoolteacher whose efforts to 'make a difference' in the education of failing black pupils in an inner-city school result in unemployment, schizophrenia and homelessness. The tribulations of the idealistic teacher are hardly new in British television drama: Jimmy McGovern's 1995 series Hearts and Minds is one noteworthy example. But Shoot the Messenger's central concern with race orients it specifically towards contemporary debates around multiculturalism and social exclusion such as that prompted by the Parekh Report (2000). The concern with black educational failure is key within these debates. A DfES report 'Getting it. Getting it right' (2007) noted that Black Caribbean students in Britain are excluded from school far more often than white pupils. Although BBC television drama has addressed these issues in recent years in productions such as Lennie James' Storm Damage (BBC2, 2000), Shoot the Messenger nonetheless carries a heavy representational burden. For several years the lack of racial diversity in BBC programmes has been criticised (Creeber, 2004) and concerns about the BBC's treatment of its visible minority staff abound (see, for example, "BBC still showing its 'hideously white' face," 2002).
