    The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CLoK The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan Hughes, University of Central Lancashire The North of England is a place-myth as much as a material reality. Conceptually it exists as the location where the economic, political, sociological, as well as climatological and geomorphological, phenomena particular to the region are reified into a set of socio-cultural qualities that serve to define it as different to conceptualisations of England and ‘Englishness’. Whilst the abstract nature of such a construction means that the geographical boundaries of the North are implicitly ill-defined, for ease of reference, and to maintain objectivity in defining individual texts as Northern films, this paper will adhere to the notion of a ‘seven county North’ (i.e. the pre-1974 counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, Northumberland, County Durham, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire) that is increasingly being used as the geographical template for the North of England within social and cultural history.1 The British film industry in 1941 As 1940 drew to a close in Britain any memories of the phoney war of the spring of that year were likely to seem but distant recollections of a bygone age long dispersed by the brutal realities of the conflict. Outside of the immediate theatres of conflict the domestic industries that had catered for the demands of an increasingly affluent and consuming population were orientated towards the needs of a war economy as plant, machinery, and labour shifted into war production.

    War Cinema– Or How British Films Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Affluent Society

    1 THE PROFESSIONAL OFFICER CLASS IN POST- WAR CINEMA– OR HOW BRITISH FILMS LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andrew Roberts College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences of Brunel University 22nd September2014 2 ABSTRACT My central argument is that mainstream British cinema of the 1951 – 1965 period marked the end of the paternalism, as exemplified by a professional ‘officer class’, as consumerism gradually came to be perceived as the norm as opposed to a post-war enemy. The starting point is 1951, the year of the Conservative victory in the General Election and a time which most films were still locally funded. The closing point is 1965, by which point the vast majority of British films were funded by the USA and often featured a youthful and proudly affluent hero. Thus, this fourteen year describes how British cinema moved away from the People as Hero guided by middle class professionals in the face of consumerism. Over the course of this work, I will analyse the creation of the archetypes of post-war films and detail how the impact of consumerism and increased Hollywood involvement in the UK film industry affected their personae. However, parallel with this apparently linear process were those films that questioned or attacked the wartime consensus model. As memories of the war receded, and the Rank/ABPC studio model collapsed, there was an increasing sense of deracination across a variety of popular British cinematic genres. From the beginning of our period there is a number films that infer that the “Myth of the Blitz”, as developed in a cinematic sense, was just that and our period ends with films that convey a sense of a fragmenting society.
  • The Representation of Transgressive Female Desire in Daughter Of

    The Representation of Transgressive Female Desire in Daughter Of

    43 ‘Unsettling the men’: the representation of transgressive female desire in Daughter of Darkness (Lance Comfort, 1948) Paul Mazey The British film Daughter of Darkness (1948) is remarkable in the way it depicts its female protagonist. Not only is she presented as a psychologically complex character who is both a serial killer and a victim of her own dark desires, but her unbridled sexuality is expressed in a surprisingly forthright manner. In a break with the traditions of 1940s British Gothic melodrama films, she is neither an innocent young girl used by powerful men, in the manner of Caroline (Jean Simmons) in Uncle Silas (1947), nor is she a villainous woman who, in the pursuit of pleasure and comfort, scandalises the conventions of the period, as Barbara (Margaret Lockwood) does in The Wicked Lady (1945). With the added immediacy of a contemporary time-frame, Daughter of Darkness presents an exploration of the repression and desire of its lead character with recourse to the modes of Gothic melodrama and Gothic horror. ‘Melodrama’ and ‘Gothic’ both evade clear definition as cinematic terms owing to their varied evolution through literary and theatrical traditions. As a theatrical form, melodrama is characterised by ‘a structure based on moral polarities, an appeal to excitement and the emotions’ (Barefoot 1994: 95). In cinema, the wider usage of the term has distilled primarily into a description of forms that prioritise feelings and emotion, typically in films aimed at a female audience, with female protagonists and concerns (Gledhill 1987: 33). When considering the problem of defining the Gothic, David Punter notes that, in literature, elements of a Gothic style emerge in a range of literary traditions (1980: 403).

    Alien Identities: Exploring Differences in Film and Fiction

    Alien Identities: Exploring Differences in Film and Fiction By Deborah Cartmell, I.Q. Hunter, Heidi Kaye and Imelda Whelehan (eds.) London: Pluto Press, 1999. ISBN 0-745-31405-8 (hbk); ISBN 0-745-31400-7 (pbk). 212pp, £45.00, (hbk); £12.99, (pbk) A review by Aylish Wood, University of Aberdeen, UK Alien Identities: Exploring Differences in Film and Fiction follows the format of the previously published collections of the Film/Fiction series. As before a diverse, and perhaps unexpected, set of essays are brought together under a linking term, in this collection that term is "alien." In the introductory chapter the editors state: "This volume…ranges widely on the theme of the alien to explore how various cultures and times have determined their own collective and individual sense of identity through external as well as internal contrast." (1) The alien under consideration here varies from the foreigner, to "humanity's own alien identity", and the hybridities of the Alien film series. The essays explore these diverse aliens as unstable, open to re-definition and re-designation at different times and places, especially in periods of instability when the certainty of a self is in question. Given this scope, it is unsurprising that the collection is broad; the topics addressed include national identity, citizenship, mutating bugs, humanness versus non-humanness. "America's Domestic Aliens", "See Europe with ITC", and "Leaving the West and Entering the East" explore the different ways in which national identities are constructed by the establishment of internal and external boundaries. "America's Domestic Aliens" discusses the narratives around Sally Hemings as a metaphor for the hidden sexual and racial histories that accompany "white America's self-narration of its identity." "See Europe with ITC" and "Leaving the West and Entering the East" delineate the ways in which the national boundaries of "Europe" have been used to explore Britishness in different historical periods.
