The Terminator by John Wills
The Terminator By John Wills “The Terminator” is a cult time-travel story pitting hu- mans against machines. Authored and directed by James Cameron, the movie features Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn in leading roles. It launched Cameron as a major film di- rector, and, along with “Conan the Barbarian” (1982), established Schwarzenegger as a box office star. James Cameron directed his first movie “Xenogenesis” in 1978. A 12-minute long, $20,000 picture, “Xenogenesis” depicted a young man and woman trapped in a spaceship dominated by power- ful and hostile robots. It introduced what would be- come enduring Cameron themes: space exploration, machine sentience and epic scale. In the early 1980s, Cameron worked with Roger Corman on a number of film projects, assisting with special effects and the design of sets, before directing “Piranha II” (1981) as his debut feature.

As I Hear My Voice Calling: Issues and Matters in Autobiography1
As I Hear My Voice Calling: Issues and Matters in Autobiography1 João de Mancelos (Universidade da Beira Interior) Palavras-chave: Autobiografia, narrativa ficcional, estratégias narrativas, Maya Angelou, Bob Dylan, Michael J. Fox Keywords: Autobiography, fictional narrative, narrative strategies, Maya Angelou, Bob Dylan, Michael J. Fox 1. True lies In the novel The Naked Civil Servant (1968), Quentin Crisp defines autobiography as “an obituary in serial form with the last installment missing” (Crisp, 1997: 212). Any more serious attempt to precise the concept of autobiography is probably doomed to fail, due to the complexity inherent to this genre. As James Olney argues, “everyone knows what biography is, but no two observers, no matter how assured they may be, are in agreement” (Olney, 1980: 3). The definitions a researcher finds in a dictionary do not survive a rigorous scrutiny and rise more questions than they offer reassuring answers. For instances, the Collins English Dictionary presents autobiography as “An amount of a person’s life written or otherwise recorded by that person” (Collins, 1991: 102). In my perspective, this definition is far from deserving to be inscribed on a marble slab, for three reasons: a) Numerous autobiographies are not written by the self, but by ghost writers who organize the recollections of an unarticulated football player or of a politician more inclined to an ideological speech. In those cases, there is an authorial coincidence between the biographer that remembers but does not write, and the biographer who writes but does not remember. b) It is arguable that biographical narratives are precise, since what an author presents is the fragmented memory of a restricted number of events. -
