  • Gendered Viewing Strategies: a Critique of Holocaust-Related Films That Eroticize, Monsterize and Fetishize the Female Body
    Title: Gendered Viewing Strategies: A Critique of Holocaust-related Films that Eroticize, Monsterize and Fetishize the Female Body. First Author: Dr Stacy Banwell Co-author: Dr Michael Fiddler Introduction In her chapter ‘Patriarchy, Objectification, and Violence against Women in Schindler's List and Angry Harvest’, Shapiro considers Schweickart’s essay on ‘Reading Ourselves: Toward a Feminist Theory of Reading.’1 In this essay Schweickart talks about androcentric reading strategies. This approach identifies texts that reproduce gender hierarchies, ascribing agency to men while objectifying and immascualting women. Drawing upon this work, Shapiro apples this to two Holocaust-related films: Spielberg’s (1993) Schindler’s List and Holland’s (1985) Angry Harvest. In her analysis of these films, Shapiro comes to the conclusion that in Schindler’s List the feminization of the objectified female ‘Other’ is taken for granted and therefore rendered invisible.2 This is in contrast to Angry Harvest – where the audience is asked to consider how violence is caused by gender inequalities and the objectification of women. This process of objectification and immasculation is illustrated in a sequence in Schindler’s List, where the Commandant of the Plaszow Forced Labor Camp, Amon Goeth (as played by Ralph Fiennes), bare-chested, aims his rifle at his naked Jewish mistress whilst she lies on his bed. Horowitz suggests that this scene equates masculinity with killing. The rifle here represents the penis. Further, as Goeth does not discharge his rifle and shoot her, but rather he moves past and urinates, this “…sequence equalizes the acts of shooting, fornication, and urination.” It “asserts an equivalence among Jews, his mistress, and the toilet, all repositories of Nazi effluvia.” Here we witness “[a]trocity…enacted with semen, urine, or gunshot.” 3 It is possible to view this equation as a critique of Nazism, patriarchy and male sexuality.

  • 264 Julian Strube Until Quite Recently “Nazi Occultism”
    264 book reviews Julian Strube Vril: Eine okkulte Urkraft in Theosophie und esoterischen Neonazismus, München: Wilhelm Fink 2013. 222 pp. isbn: 978-3-7705-5515-4. Until quite recently “Nazi occultism” has mainly been a topic confined to spec- tacular crypto-or pseudo-history and popular fiction, while serious scholarly research has been, to say the least, scarce. Almost 30 years after Goodrick- Clarke’s seminal The Occult Roots of Nazism it seems that academia is slowly beginning to acknowledge this as a field worthy of exploration. This is not because of its historical qualities—as the concept per se is highly question- able—but with regard to the substantial impact it has had on post-war popular culture and right-wing political movements, thereby also on collective memo- ries of the Nazi era. In fact, many—if not most—popular narratives of “Nazi occultism” are founded on dubious revisionist concepts of history, not only by falsifying and/or distorting well-documented historical facts. Although not revisionist in the sense of Holocaust deniers, several of them are certainly triv- ializing the Nazi crimes and racist ideology in an ethically highly questionable way by “explaining” this as basically being the evil deeds of black magicians. Consequently, the victims are reduced to commodities, mere objects used in human sacrifice, thus once again dehumanized and bereft of their dignity. The lack of serious scholarly attention has certainly contributed to the success of this Nazi exploitation genre, as one of its main arguments is precisely that academia is neglecting the occult aspects of Nazi Germany.

Welcome to Dead by Dawn! It’s sound advice to be more afraid of the living than the dead. Sure, the dead can kill you, but at least they’re easy to spot. In this year’s programme too many of the monsters will smile when they meet you, and will still be smiling when they lock you in a meat freezer. Or encourage you onto a ledge. Or offer to share their martini. You could try politely declining their kind offer, see how that works out... Dead by Dawn is a discovery festival which exists to showcase potential and vibrant emerging talent, but also aims to screen the widest possible range of what can be described as horror both in feature and short form.

  • Un Secolo Di Cinema Firmato Bava – 2003
    UN SECOLO DI CINEMA FIRMATO BAVA di Renato Venturelli La leggenda dei Bava, al cinema, dura ormai da quasi un secolo. Di padre in figlio, di figlio in nipote, è già arrivata alla quarta generazione: prima Eugenio (Francesco) Bava, eccentrica figura di inventore e mago degli effetti speciali fin dagli anni della Belle Epoque poi Mario, geniale direttore della fotografia e regista, oggetto di culto in tutto il mondo; quindi Lamberto, che cominciò lavorando al fianco del padre negli anni Sessanta diventando poi autore cinematografico e televisivo. E adesso Roy, che ha iniziato da qualche anno la sua carriera. Tutto era cominciato all’inizio del Novecento, quando nonno Eugenio (1886-1966) ricevette il primo incarico da parte del cinema: la costruzione di un caminetto per un film Pathé. All’epoca, aveva appena compiuto vent’anni, essendo nato a Sanremo nel 1886, e secondo il figlio Mario era il prototipo dell’artista bohémien. «Cravatta e fiocco rivoluzionario, basco alla Raffaello) era un artista - disse in un famoso intervento del 1976- era pittore, scultore,fotografo, chimico, elettricista, medium, inventore; perse anni a studiare il moto perpetuo. Verso il 1908 per una succosa storia, purtroppo troppo lunga da raccontare, conobbe il cinema. Si “incimiciò”, dette un calcio al passato, e si gettò a capofitto nella Nuova Arte, diventando operatore: all’epoca non si diceva direttore della fotografia.. «E non si chiamava nemmeno Eugenio — aggiunge Lamberto— ma Francesco: è il nome scritto anche sulla sua tomba». Negli anni Dieci, il capostipite dei Bava lavorò nella sua città, fondando anche la “San Remo Film”, poi passò all’Ambrosio di Torino, quindi si stabilì a Roma, responsabile del Reparto Animazione e Trucchi dell’istituto Luce, escogitando trucchi ed effetti speciali fin quasi alla morte, avvenuta nel 1966,quando aveva ottant’anni.

  • 1. Introduction from the French Fantastique, To
    1 1. Introduction From the French Fantastique, to weird fiction and Giallo cinema, directors and authors like Dario Argento and H.P. Lovecraft have managed to shock and terrify their audiences for generations with their unique styles, codes and conventions utilized in their works, and their examination of the subgenres they work in. This essay takes a look at how I pay homage to these great forerunners of horror, from the writing style I chose to adopt, as well as the structure of the novel and the perspective from which one reads it. It shall also investigate various mythologies I draw inspiration from, and the subgenres in which I work in and the how I invert certain conventions and aspects found again and again in literature and cinema of this kind to suit the context of my novel. Our Immaculate deals with an extra-terrestrial threat lurking under an old all-girls school in the Magaliesburg. 2. About The novel takes place over a period of twenty-four hours. Electra Almacy, a Matric pupil who used to be head girl at the school, is the protagonist of the story. She is restless, hates the teaching staff (in particular the ruthless principal Doctor Hamilton) and yearns to start living her life outside of the school and dreams of exploring the world. One night, after going to detention, she and a friend are attacked by another Matric pupil and they are forced to hide in a tunnel underneath the school. While in the tunnel, Electra passes out and wakes up in a room with nine other girls.
