    A Listening Eye: The Films of Mike Dibb Part Three: Conversation Pieces Week Two Available to view 5 - 11 March 2021 For the ninth week of A Listening Eye, as we move further into the final phase of Mike Dibb’s series, we focus on his dynamic films about and with writers, thinkers, activists and public intellectuals, as well as an artist or two. This programme continues to demonstrate the sheer range of engaged lives and ideas that Dibb has documented. Available to view 5 - 11 March: The Further Adventures of Don Quixote, 1995, 50’ The Beginning of the End of the Affair, 1999, 50’ Memories of the Future, John Ruskin and William Morris 1984, 2x52’ A Curious Mind – AS Byatt, 1996, 50’ Somewhere Over the Rainbow, 1982, 50’ Steven Rose – A Profile 2003, 30’ The Spirit of Lorca, 1986, 75’ The Fame and Shame of Salvador Dali, 1997-98, 120’ The Further Adventures of Don Quixote (Bookmark) As early as chapter two in this astonishingly original and prescient novel, Miguel de Cervantes was already aware of his hero’s impending immortality: “Happy shall be the times and happy shall be the age, in which my famous deeds shall come to light; deeds worthy to be engraved in bronZe, carved in marble, and re-created in painting, as a monument to posterity!” Cervantes’ clairvoyance didn’t quite stretch to the arrival of cinema and television; but I’m sure that, if he had known about them, he would have guessed that a film about Don Quixote and Sancho Panza’s astonishing after-life would eventually be made.

FROM BIRTH TO DEATH OF COOL by Brandon Theriault An Honors Thesis Submitted to the Lee Honors College of Western Michigan University April, 2009 INTRODUCTION "Miles Davis was a bad dude. He was one of the baddest men in jazz... baddest jazzman ever." -Alvin Jones. Who is Alvin Jones? Alvin Jones is the man I just met outside of the Bernhard Center on Western Michigan University's campus in Kalamzoo, MI. I have been laboring over my honors thesis for months now; I am approaching its completion and was at a loss for a way to start the piece. As Alvin Jones stumbled up to me panhandling for a cigarette I could not help but notice his physical similarity to Miles. He looked to be approaching 65, white whiskers sparsely covering his face and making appearances throughout his eyebrows. He was slender, taller than average, and had exaggerated facial features; large luminous eyes, long eyelashes and high cheekbones.

    The British War Film, 1939-1980: Culture, History, and Genre by Kevin M. Flanagan B.A., College of William and Mary, 2006 M.A., North Carolina State University, 2009 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2015 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH KENNETH P. DIETRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Kevin M.

Flanagan 2015 iii THE BRITISH WAR FILM, 1939-1980: CULTURE, HISTORY, AND GENRE Kevin M. Flanagan, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2015 This dissertation argues that discussions of war representation that privilege the nationalistic, heroic, and redemptively sacrificial strand of storytelling that dominate popular memory in Britain ignore a whole counter-history of movies that view war as an occasion to critique through devices like humor, irony, and existential alienation. Instead of selling audiences on what Graham Dawson has called “the pleasure culture of war” (a nationally self-serving mode of talking about and profiting from war memory), many texts about war are motivated by other intellectual and ideological factors. Each chapter includes historical context and periodizing arguments about different moments in British cultural history, explores genre trends, and ends with a comparative analysis of representative examples.

  • Stuart Hall and Black British Art 62
    von Rosenberg: Stuart Hall and Black British Art 62 Stuart Hall and Black British Art INGRID VON ROSENBERG Technische Universität Dresden, Germany Introduction: A Sidelined Area of Hall’s Work The following article deals with a somewhat neglected aspect of Stuart Hall’s manifold activities and its relevance for his theoretical work: his interest in and commitment to the promotion of black British art. To start with, a brief definition seems helpful as, in the course of time, the term ‘black’ has been charged with various meanings. Once used in a disparaging racist sense from the colonialists' position, it was later adopted by black people with self-confidence, first in an essentialist sense, later in more differentiating ways. It was Stuart Hall who highlighted the importance of cultural differences between the various groups living in diasporic conditions in Britain, most famously in his seminal article “New Ethnicities” of 1989. Yet when he wrote or spoke about ‘black art’ or ‘black artists’, he used the term black in the same “broad and inclusive way” as the politically active artists in the 1970s and 1980s had done, referring “to all those communities, of whatever ethnic or ‘racial’ origin, who were regarded as ‘other’ – different – and thus racially excluded” (Hall, 2001a: 35). The following study is based on this definition. In the later part of his life Stuart Hall became institutionally involved in black art, dedicating much of his time to this engagement: for 15 years he held the chairs of the boards of both Iniva (Institute of International Visual Art) and Autograph ABP (a non- profit making arts agency promoting photographers from ethnic minorities), two leading institutions focusing on ‘black art’ in the defined sense, i.e.

It examines a period of time in which diverse radical film- and video-makers in Britain contributed towards struggles against capitalism, patriarchy, racism, colonialism and homophobia. New social models of film and video production and exhibition were developed, such as the film collective, and new alliances were built to campaign for changes to social policy and legislature. The study examines this moment in order to clarify the capacity for radical discourse to bring groups together and impact on dominant cultural forms such as television. The thesis explores the interrelation between public debate, institutions and individuals.

The films are diverse -- fictional and documentary, feature-length and shorts, political, cultural, and personal. Sometimes they erase the distinction between the political and the artistic. The Film Society of Lincoln Center has commented that this movement has produced “a number of provocative, insightful works that have often challenged the notion of rigid ideologies or monolithic historical readings. Rather, these films have sought to capture the complexity of Palestinian history, culture and identity, using a wide variety of styles and genres.” Palestinian films, directors, and actors have gained wide international recognition, including numerous awards at film festivals, praise from critics, attention from the press, and sober analysis in academic publications.
