  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • Summertime (David Attwell)
    Trauma, Memory and Narrative in the Contemporary South African Novel Abstracts “ To speak of this you would need the tongue of a god” : On Representing the Trauma of Township Violence (Derek Attridge) It is winter, 1986, on the Cape Flats, and the elderly white lady finds that she cannot produce words equal to the horror of the scene she is witnessing in the shanty­town, where the shacks of the inhabitants are being burned by vigilantes. In J. M. Coetzee’s 1990 novel Age of Iron, the author himself does, of course, describe the scene, reflecting in his choice of language Mrs Curren’s familiarity with classical literature and its accounts of traumatic events. It is an outsider’s description, evincing bafflement as well as shock. For what we are invited to read as an insider’s description of a similar scene occurring ten years earlier, we can turn to The Long Journey of Poppie Nongena, Elsa Joubert’s transcription/rewriting of a black woman’s experiences as narrated to her over a two­year period and first published in Afrikaans in 1978. This paper will compare the narrative strategies of the two authors in attempting to represent the trauma of township violence – marked not just by savage actions but by confusion as to who is friend and who is enemy – and consider the theoretical implications of their choices. Trauma Refracted: J.M. Coetzee’s Summertime (David Attwell) J.M. Coetzee’s Summertime completes a cycle of autobiographical fictions which begins with Boyhood and continues with Youth. In the third and most recent of these works, the protagonist begins publishing his early fiction.

  • A Postmodernist Reading of Nadine Gordimer’S None to Accompany Me and Gillian Slovo’S Red Dust
    International Journal of Humanities, Art and Social Studies (IJHAS), Vol. 2, No.2/3 MULTICULTURALISM AND NATIONHOOD: A POSTMODERNIST READING OF NADINE GORDIMER’S NONE TO ACCOMPANY ME AND GILLIAN SLOVO’S RED DUST. Eric Nsuh Zuhmboshi The University of Yaounde I (Cameroon) Department of African Literature and Civilisations ABSTRACT In order to forestall the trauma of the past, post-apartheid South African leadership has been legislating laws to reconcile cultural differences among its citizens in the hope of invigorating the spirit of nationhood. Thus for socio-political harmony to exist in this society, cultural pluralism and dialogue must be encouraged so that the different races and ethnic groups will see each other as part of the same nation. Using Nadine Gordimer’s None to Accompany Me and Gillian Slovo’s Red Dust, this paper verifies the place of multiculturalism in post-apartheid literary narratives and its influence in inculcating the spirit of national consciousness in South Africa. From the paradigm of postmodernist criticism, this paper sustains the premise that for social justice and harmony to reign in multicultural and multiracial societies, there should be the political will of state leadership to shun cultural exclusionism and articulate policies that will reconcile and accommodate cultural/racial differences thereby leading to what could be termed cultural ecumenicism. In other words, governmental policies in such societies should be directed towards bridging racial and ethnic cleavages in order to build a cosmopolitan society. KEYWORDS: nationhood, multiculturalism, postmodernist criticism, cultural ecumenicism, cosmopolitan society. INTRODUCTION In every human society, there is the tendency and temptation for one group to think that it is superior and more important than the others.

  • Production Notes
    A Film by John Madden Production Notes Synopsis Even the best secret agents carry a debt from a past mission. Rachel Singer must now face up to hers… Filmed on location in Tel Aviv, the U.K., and Budapest, the espionage thriller The Debt is directed by Academy Award nominee John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). The screenplay, by Matthew Vaughn & Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan, is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film Ha-Hov [The Debt]. At the 2011 Beaune International Thriller Film Festival, The Debt was honoured with the Special Police [Jury] Prize. The story begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stephan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds of the upcoming Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). All three have been venerated for decades by Israel because of the secret mission that they embarked on for their country back in 1965-1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain [The Tree of Life, The Help], Marton Csokas [The Lord of the Rings, Dream House], and Sam Worthington [Avatar, Clash of the Titans]) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), the feared Surgeon of Birkenau, in East Berlin. While Rachel found herself grappling with romantic feelings during the mission, the net around Vogel was tightened by using her as bait. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished – or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations that compel Rachel to take matters into her own hands.

  • Ruth First: Lessons for a New Generation of African Scholars
    Ruth First: lessons for a new generation of African scholars by Tebello Letsekha∗ Abstract: The 17th of August 2012 marked the 30th anniversary of the untimely passing of South African sociologist Ruth First. Ruth First the investigative journalist and anti-apartheid activist is well-recognised as a celebrated and honoured figure in South Africa. This paper narrates the often untold story of First, the scholar, and the valuable scholastic contributions that she made. The paper also documents some of the lessons that can be drawn from her scholarship by a new generation of African scholars. As an academic, teacher and scholar First regarded her work as promoting a more just world; her scholarly work was informed and sharpened by her political activism. In allying herself with political movements such as the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa, the Anti-Apartheid Movement in London and the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo), First developed a kind of rationale for her intellectual labour. Engaging with her work as an intellectual and inserting her intellectual contributions – which like those of many African scholars have given way to debates from the global North – into curricula would perhaps be the real refutation of the assassin’s bomb. This engagement is also crucial because it extends much further than the prominent accolades which take the form of buildings and lectures established in her memory. Introduction Ruth Heloise First passed away on the 17th of August 1987, at her office in Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo, Mozambique. The then 59 year old mother of three was killed by a letter bomb believed to have been sent to her office by the South African government.

    Benjamin Neumanni Benjamin Neumann Review of „Red Dust“ South Africa in Films University of Duisburg-Essen, Dr. Claudia Drawe pubished in cooperation with Düsseldorf 2007 Review of „Red Dust“ 1 Benjamin Neumanni Table of contents 1. Drum: Film review: More than telling Henry`s story 3 2. Film facts 12 3. references 13 Review of „Red Dust“ 2 Benjamin Neumanni Introduction: Red Dust (2004) South Africa some years after the end of apartheid. Three people are returning to the small dusty town of Smitsrivier. From New York comes South African- born lawyer Sarah Barcant (Hilary Swank), from a Cape Town prison former deputy-policeman Dirk Hendricks (Jamie Bartlett) and from the parliament politician Alex Mpondo (Chiwetel Ejiofor). And they all will face their own past... Red Dust first debuted on the cinema screens at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2004. The main theme of this festival was 'South Africa: Ten Years Later' . At the festival the new arising South African cinema was celebrated and also the tenth anniversary of the new South Africa after the end of apartheid. Ten South African made movies were shown to the audience. Three of these movies got a special screening. Thereby were Red Dust, the movie Yesterday (2004) and Hotel Rwanda (2004). Red Dust was receiving a stunning response by the audience at this festival. Was this response justified or not? Background: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission In 1995, one year after the end of the era of apartheid in South Africa, the Government of National Unity under president Nelson Mandela set up the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).

  • Jewish Experience on Film an American Overview
    Jewish Experience on Film An American Overview by JOEL ROSENBERG ± OR ONE FAMILIAR WITH THE long history of Jewish sacred texts, it is fair to characterize film as the quintessential profane text. Being tied as it is to the life of industrial science and production, it is the first truly posttraditional art medium — a creature of gears and bolts, of lenses and transparencies, of drives and brakes and projected light, a creature whose life substance is spreadshot onto a vast ocean of screen to display another kind of life entirely: the images of human beings; stories; purported history; myth; philosophy; social conflict; politics; love; war; belief. Movies seem to take place in a domain between matter and spirit, but are, in a sense, dependent on both. Like the Golem — the artificial anthropoid of Jewish folklore, a creature always yearning to rise or reach out beyond its own materiality — film is a machine truly made in the human image: a late-born child of human culture that manifests an inherently stubborn and rebellious nature. It is a being that has suffered, as it were, all the neuroses of its mostly 20th-century rise and flourishing and has shared in all the century's treach- eries. It is in this context above all that we must consider the problematic subject of Jewish experience on film. In academic research, the field of film studies has now blossomed into a richly elaborate body of criticism and theory, although its reigning schools of thought — at present, heavily influenced by Marxism, Lacanian psycho- analysis, and various flavors of deconstruction — have often preferred the fashionable habit of reasoning by decree in place of genuine observation and analysis.

    Lives are Led: Autobiographical Film and the New Documentary A thesis/film by John Henry Hookham B.A. (Hons), Dip ATFM (LIFS), MA (Witwatersrand) Creative Industries Research & Application Centre Queensland University of Technology Submitted for PhD 2004 2 Keywords: autobiographical film, documentary, South Africa, exile, immigration, autobiography, memoir, apartheid ‘An autobiography is, by definition, a man’s (sic) own story of his life. It has one advantage over other forms of literature and certainly over my own art form, the cinema. That is this: there’s nobody who can contradict the author. This is my book about my life. There is no producer or film cutter or studio boss who can make me change it. For once in my creative life I am about to have the last word.’ (LeRoy, 1974: 3) 3 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project has taken five years to complete. Many people gave willingly of their time and made huge contributions to the film. Friends, family, neighbours, students, colleagues and complete strangers participated in the making of the film as actors, interview subjects or technicians. I would like to most sincerely thank all of them. In particular, I would like to thank my editor, Tanya Schneider for all her intelligent and astute suggestions, hard work and dedication to the project. A great big thank you to Evan Olman who came to South Africa with me and made me realise how good it would be to have a son. My thanks also go to my supervisor Brad Haseman for his kind and generous support, his enthusiasm and frank comments.
