  • Disputed Passage
    Disputed Passage by Lloyd C. Douglas Disputed Passage CHAPTER I IT was two o'clock in the afternoon of the last Thursday in September, opening day of the autumn term. The weather was unseasonably sultry, and the air in Dr Milton (Tubby) Forrester's lecture-arena lay as inert and stale as the cadavers in the grim old anatomical laboratory adjoining. But if the atmosphere of the dingy little theatre was not refreshingly tonic it was emotionally tense. Whatever it lacked in sweetness it made up in stress; for Anatomy, under the brilliant but irascible Forrester, was reputed to be the stiffest course in the entire four-year curriculum. Hopeful of being credited at the outset with the flimsy virtue of punctuality, the exceptionally large class of new medical students—one hundred and thirty-three; all men, this year, but eight—had assembled with the nervous promptness of first-time voyagers boarding a ship. As for the personnel of the class, less than half were newly graduated from the main body of the State University only a mile distant. The rest of them had recently received their degrees—Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science—in colleges of various rating, scattered all the way from the Alleghenies to the Coast. A few of the more gregarious imports had nodded and exchanged casual civilities in the Registrar's quarters, earlier in the day; but everyone felt himself a stranger in this unfamiliar setting; even the men who had been living for a quadrennium within a ten minutes' walk of the Medical College campus.

A host of people at various stages of the research and writing process have helped direct and shape the contents of these pages. My interest in 2 (Slavonic) Enoch began in 1994 during my studies and teaching at Abilene Christian University (Texas). Ian Fair, former Chair of the College of Biblical Studies at ACU, helped me in my adventurous transition to the North American academic environment. My appreciation goes to Ian and his wife June for their love, friendship, and support. Friends and colleagues at Abilene Christian University, Fred Aquino, Craig Churchill, Everett Ferguson, Gary Oliver, André Resner, and James Thompson provided encouragement and advice during my initial interest in the Slavonic apocalypse. My participation in the Society of Biblical Literature Early Jewish and Christian mysticism group played a formative role in the development of my methodological approach. I am grateful to April De Conick, Jim Davila, Crispin Fletcher-Louis, Jarl Fossum, Charles Gieschen, Rebecca Lesses, Andrea Lieber, Chris Morray-Jones, Phil Munoa, Alan Segal, and Michael Stone for many insightful conversations on various aspects of early Jewish mysticism and pseudepigrapha.

On the Cover : Bette Davis and Errol Flynn in “ The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex." r think most cinemagoers favour the idea of the revival of favourite films, for to those who saw the originals there are the memories of the past and also comparisons between the old produc- tions and the new, particularly in respect to those that have been made both as a silent and a talkie. To the newer generation of the cinema public there is interest in comparing the old-time screen stones with the modem ones. “ ” To be technically correct, revival is not the right word, for the old favourites are re-made, but in the majority of cases the original film is not altered to any great extent so far as the story is concerned, though the introduction of spoken dialogue must necessarily be more expensive them that recorded by the printed sub-title of the silent picture. On the whole, the re-making of popular pictures is done so well that it is deserving of the highest praise, but there is one criticism I have to make. I think it is a great mistake to alter the original title. Take a person who saw the original film passing by a cinema which is showing a revival under a new title. There is nothing to indicate that this is a new version of an old favourite, and such a person might well walk on to another cinema, missing what would have been a real treat.

POLAND:--YOUTHFUL IDEALS Gustave Flaubert, pessimist and master of cadenced lyric prose, urged young writers to lead ascetic lives that in their art they might be violent. Chopin's violence was psychic, a travailing and groaning of the spirit; the bright roughness of adventure was missing from his quotidian existence. The tragedy was within. One recalls Maurice Maeterlinck: "Whereas most of our life is passed far from blood, cries and swords, and the tears of men have become silent, invisible and almost spiritual." Chopin went from Poland to France--from Warsaw to Paris--where, finally, he was borne to his grave in Pere la Chaise. He lived, loved and died; and not for him were the perils, prizes and fascinations of a hero's career. He fought his battles within the walls of his soul- -we may note and enjoy them in his music. His outward state was not niggardly of incident though his inner life was richer, nourished as it was in the silence and the profound unrest of a being that irritably resented every intrusion.

  • From Affliction to Empathy: Melodrama and Mental Illness in Recent Films from Australia and New Zealand
    From Affliction to Empathy: Melodrama and Mental Illness in Recent Films from Australia and New Zealand Fincina Elizabeth Hopgood Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2006 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper Abstract The subject matter of mental illness has fascinated artists and writers for centuries. Filmmakers have responded in diverse and innovative ways to the artistic challenge of portraying mental illness. In this thesis, I focus on the representations of mental illness in six recent films from Australia and New Zealand: Sweetie (Jane Campion, 1989), An Angel at My Table (Campion, 1990), Bad Boy Bubby (Rolf de Heer, 1993), Heavenly Creatures (Peter Jackson, 1994), Angel Baby (Michael Rymer, 1995) and Shine (Scott Hicks, 1996). In each film, the protagonist is diagnosed, or treated by others, as mentally ill. Mental illness is portrayed as an affliction which the protagonist struggles to overcome. I argue that these films cultivate a relationship of empathy between the mentally ill character and the spectator. Whereas the related emotion of sympathy involves feeling sorry for someone, empathy involves feeling with that person; in other words, rather than feel for these mentally ill characters, we are invited to feel like they do. In order to elicit empathy from the spectator, these Australian and New Zealand films employ the stylistic devices and narrative themes of the melodramatic mode. In this thesis, I introduce the concept of ‘the melodrama of affliction’, which is defined by four features of melodramatic style and theme: the externalisation of the protagonist’s internal state; the critical engagement with stereotypes; moral legibility; and the family home as a site of conflict and trauma.
