Such a drama could develop only when certain conditions had been fulfilled—when the people, nationalized, homogeneous, feeling and acting pretty much as one, had become capable of taking a deep and active interest in its William Shakespeare past; when it had become awakened to a sense of its own greatness; when there had come into being a dramatic form by which historical material could be presented in such a way as to reveal those aspects of which the public felt most deeply the inspiration Additionally, camera platforms were created around the theatre.

    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

Policing Terrorism: An Executive’s Guide Letter from the Director Immediately after September 11, 2001, I convened a meeting with the heads of the five major executive law enforcement organizations in the United States. Those leaders told me that community policing was now more important than ever. Since then, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (the COPS Office) on numerous occasions has brought together federal agencies, representatives from the private sector, law enforcement leaders from around the country, including campus public safety and tribal police, to explore creative solutions to violent crime and the persistent threat of terror. In each of these discussions we were continually brought back to the central role that community policing principles play in preventing and responding to the threats of terrorism.

THE 1950s. __ . 4 CHAPTER 2. THE 1980s.... _ . _ .24 CHAPTER 3. CONCLUSION .......43 BIBLIOGRAPHY ...... _ .........49 ----- ---------- ----~ - INTRODUCTION The issue of race is something which cannot be ignored in interpreting the tragedy of Othello. This thesis examines the presence or absence of racial issues by investigating the opinions of critics of the 1950s and contrasting them to critics of the 1980s (mostly from the United States) in order to bring about an understanding of how the tragedy was seen before and after the Civil Rights Movement. Aside from criticism of the two decades in question, I have also included references to relevant criticism from other periods whose authors· expertise were germane to the issue of race and racism. Certain Shakespeare critics, A. C. Bradley, for instance; was of great importance to my efforts because even though his criticism was written well before the earlier period I examined, Bradley set the tone for much of the criticism which followed. Including Bradley in this thesis also provides insight on how the play was viewed during an earlier period in Othello criticism. 2 This thesis is divided into three chapters. and each of the first two chapters examines different approaches in assessing the play.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Tlie 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 complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. I f copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner o f 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.

  • Reproducing Shakespeare New Studies in Adaptation and Appropriation
    Reproducing Shakespeare New Studies in Adaptation and Appropriation Series Editors Thomas Cartelli English Department Muhlenberg College Allentown , Pennsylvania, USA Katherine Rowe English Department Smith College Northampton , Massachusetts, USA Reproducing Shakespeare marks the turn in adaptation studies toward recontextualization, reformatting, and media convergence. It builds on two decades of growing interest in the “afterlife” of Shakespeare, show- casing some of the best new work of this kind currently being produced. The series addresses the repurposing of Shakespeare in different techni- cal, cultural, and performance formats, emphasizing the uses and effects of Shakespearean texts in both national and global networks of reference and communication. Studies in this series pursue a deeper understand- ing of how and why cultures recycle their classic works, and of the media involved in negotiating these transactions.

  • Cushman Rejoinder to Matte
    Rejoinder to Matte Rejoinder to Matte Barry Cushman I am writing in response to James Matte’s letter to the editor in regard to my article, “Is Matte’s Inside Track the Answer to False Positives, False Negatives and Countermeasures? There is Reason to Fear that Hope is Gone” (Cushman, 2013), which is published in the current edition of this journal. I will briefly address some of Matte’s assertions. While I tried to limit the former article to an analysis of the data and avoid a personal debate with any of the authors of the MQTZCT studies, Matte has written a response describing his personal thoughts describing how he conceived the technique and why he reasons it is superior to others. Any response of mine, therefore, may be viewed by some as an attack against the person of James Matte rather than what it is: a rejection of some of his faulty ideas, methods and conclusions. Again, I appreciate his zeal and tenacity. He is certainly a friend to the cause of elevating the status of polygraph. However, if we are to be gain credibility alongside our sister forensic sciences, it’s necessary to separate fact from fiction and be responsible enough to clearly report what we can reasonably conclude to know versus that which we have only conceived in our minds. Again, I respect James Matte as a colleague, but I would not want my silence to imply agreement, and therefore I provide a response. First, there is little, if any, new information in Matte’s arguments despite the fact that his letter is significantly longer than my article.
