Distributors, publicists, and other Canadian premiere at the Toronto International Film industry representatives speak of the initial impact on Festival on 10 September,2 almost simultaneously with them of Annie Proulx’s story in the New Yorker of 13 the news of its winning the Golden Lion at Venice.

Really, it is, and you know it. Imagine how many thousands of hetero love stories gay people sit through in their lives. So you kind of owe us. Now get out there and watch those cowboys make out.”7 Another tactic in the cultural mud-wrestling was the “chick flick” accusation, made with apparently no awareness of how sloppily it conflated homophobia with misogyny.8 This tactic offered an exit strategy to heterosexual men trying to avoid going to the film on dates: they could simply say they never went to “chick flicks.” Focus Features acknowledged that their strategy involved targeting a female audience with, for example, a poster that resembled the one used for Titanic.9 Still, it’s arguable that the label allowed pundits to dismiss the film without charges of homophobia. John Powers, writing in the L.A. Weekly, noticed the tenor of com- mentary, too, writing: “The most fascinating thing about Ang Lee’s wrenching ‘gay cowboy’ picture (as it’s lazily known) may well be the unlikely responses it’s provoked .

  • 1 Forms of Cosmopolitanism Los Angeles Review of Books (2/16/14) Karen V
    1 Forms of Cosmopolitanism Los Angeles Review of Books (2/16/14) http://lareviewofbooks.org/essay/forms-cosmopolitanism Karen Van Dyck THE GREEK POET YANNIS RITSOS, in his Twelve Poems for Cavafy (1963), wrote of the Greek Diaspora poet Constantine P. Cavafy: “Many claimed him, many fought over him …”[1] This has only become truer this past year with the hubbub surrounding Cavafy’s 150th birthday. Cavafy was promenaded around for a vast array of purposes last year as seemingly every institution jockeyed to honor him. Some events were extremely public, such as the extravaganza at Town Hall in New York City on November 18, in which Kathleen Turner and Olympia Dukakis read poems while writers, translators, and critics from Orhan Pamuk and Mark Doty to Edmund Keeley and Daniel Mendelsohn added their commentary with flashy visuals (poems appearing on the screen behind them as they talked). There was a much awaited finale (a sign in the foyer warned the audience of male frontal nudity) by the choreographer of the Athens 2004 Olympics Dimitris Papaioannou in which a naked youth borrowed a third leg from the choreographer himself in an intricate mediation on parts and wholes, Eros and disability. Other such 2 events included panels like those at the Onassis Foundation House of Arts and Letters in Athens on November 4 with the title, “What Happens when Cavafy Enters Mass Media?” or again on December 10, “Cavafy in Our Time.” In the midst of celebrations around the poet and his work, Hala Halim took the canon to task with Alexandrian Cosmopolitanism: An Archive, challenging the particular Anglo- Saxon ownership of Cavafy’s legacy.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Allen Rostron, the Law and Order Theme in Political and Popular Culture

INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.
