  • Cinema, Rhetoric, and Subjectivity
    Seeing Voices: Cinema, Rhetoric, and Subjectivity James Martin, Goldsmiths, University of London Abstract What can film teach us about political rhetoric? Although many different types of speech and argument are to be found in cinematic productions, films rarely present a single or clear-cut argumentative case like a formal oration. Instead, dialogue conforms to a wider narrative process, anchoring speech in cinema’s visual form of storytelling. But if, as Richard Rushton claims, films can present narrative arguments that depict the tentative formation of subjectivity, we still need to account for the way audiences are lured into identifying with those nar- ratives. In this paper I draw upon Lacanian film theory – specifically the notion of “the gaze” – to explain how film enacts a form of rhetorical “exigence” that disrupts the visual field to stimulate spectators’ desire and invite resolution. Two recent films about Churchill are used to illustrate this point. Political rhetoric, I conclude, might therefore usefully be conceived as a visually oriented practice. Keywords: Winston Churchill, rhetoric, cinema, psychoanalysis 1. Introduction What can cinema tell us about political rhetoric? There are, without a doubt, many great moments of oratory to be found in cinema films, as well as strik- ing turns of phrase, sharp verbal exchanges or revealing deliberations. Cinema enables spectators to experience a deep, affective involvement with individuals, their actions, and their utterances that would make any speech writer envious. But spoken rhetoric in film rarely does the work that an entire speech does in public or political life, even when the story is about political figures.

    Fraser Nelson Editor, The Spectator Media Masters – September 12, 2019 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I’m joined by Fraser Nelson, editor of The Spectator, the world’s oldest weekly magazine. Under his 10-year editorship it has reached a print circulation of over 70,000, the highest in its 190-year history. Previously political editor and associate editor, his roles elsewhere have included political columnist for the News of the World, political editor at the Scotsman, and business reporter with the Times. He is a board director with the Centre for Policy Studies, and the recipient of a number of awards, including the British Society of Magazine Editors’ ‘Editors’ Editor of the Year’. Fraser, thank you for joining me. Great pleasure to be here. Allie, who writes these introductions for me, clearly hates me. Editors’ Editor of the Year from the Editors’ Society. What’s that? Yes, it is, because it used to be ‘Editor of the Year’ back in the old days, and then you got this massive inflation, so now every award they give is now Editor of the Year (something or another). I see. Now that leads to a problem, so what do you call the overall award? Yes, the top one. The grand enchilada. Yes. So it’s actually a great honour. They ask other editors to vote every year. Wow. So this isn’t a panel of judges who decides the number one title, it’s other editors, and they vote for who’s going to be the ‘Editors’ Editor of the Year’, and you walk off with this lovely big trophy.

Would Churchill Have Voted for Brexit? https://www.e-ir.info/2017/12/11/would-churchill-have-voted-for-brexit/ ALASTAIR STEWART, DEC 11 2017 Sir Winston Churchill is almost exclusively remembered for having saved Britain and Europe from Nazi Germany. This fact alone is claimed by both British nationalists and British Europhiles as evidence to support their own positions, but usually after a selective reading of the facts. The blame for this rests squarely at Churchill’s feet. Sir Winston lived for 90 years and was a young man who took part in the British Empire’s last cavalry charge and died when The Beatles topped the charts. Over a long life, his opinions on Europe ebbed and flowed. Churchill was a visionary, a realist and a romantic who was both anchored to circumstance while always fighting to forge a better future. So what did he really think, about Europe and how would he measure the European Union today? The Many Churchills, the Many Europes Before the war, Churchill had favoured an isolationist attitude towards continental Europe. In 1938, he wrote an article for The Saturday Evening Post and The News of the World under the heading ‘Why Not ‘The United States of Europe’?’ where he considered it possible for unity on the continent but without Britain’s involvement: We see nothing but good and hope in a richer, freer, more contented European commonality.

    Robert H. Tener THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING HUTTON ANYONE WHO DEVOTES considerable time to the study of a minor literary figure prob­ ably feels the need to justify his work. I would certainly not except myself, for I have often observed a response of blank unrecognition when I inform scholars that I am engaged in research on Richard Holt Hutton. And since this response is fre­ quently enough exhibited by specialists in Victorian literature, I feel that I owe them some information, if not an explanation. More positively, I am convinced that Hutton has been undeservedly neglected, and that an indication of his importance is therefore overdue. One method of suggesting the significance of a critic is to show how he has been regarded by those whose opinions we can respect. It is this method that I employ here. I consider two main bodies of opinion on Hutton's dual functions of editor and critic: the views of his contemporaries, and then the attitudes of more recent writers. For thirty-six years from 1861 to 1897 Hutton was co-proprietor and literary editor of the weekly Spectator. When his colleague, Meredith Townsend, purchased the paper early in 1861 he acquired a depressed property. But though the Spectator's championship of the North during the American Civil War further jeopardized circulation, by the end of the war the paper had recovered its ground, and thereafter moved from strength to strength.1 The stages of its growing readership and influ­ ence can be traced in contemporary opinion. William Cory, for instance, in a letter to a friend on February 1, 1863, wrote: ..
