    SHIRLEY Directed by: Josephine Decker Written by: Sarah Gubbins Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Odessa Young, Michael Stuhlbarg, Logan Lerman Running Time: 107 Minutes CORNERSTONE FILMS CONTACTS: Publicity: Anna Bohlin/ [email protected] Marketing: Joanne Michael/ [email protected] SYNPOSIS Fred and Rose move to a small Vermont college town in pursuit of a job for Fred as an assistant professor of literature. The young couple receives an offer for free room and board from professor Stanley Hyman, as long as Rose agrees to spend time cleaning up the home and looking after his wife, acclaimed horror author Shirley Jackson. At first Fred and Rose detest the rocky household of the eccentric couple, but they eventually establish deep bonds with their counterparts, which will test the limits of their young love. Director Josephine Decker makes an exciting return with a biographical portrait brought alive with energy and imagination, based on a novel by Susan Merrill and screenplay by Sarah Gubbins. Shirley is a fresh take on the period drama, full of contemporary intrigue and dynamic in style. It features a stellar lead cast—Elisabeth Moss, Michael Stuhlbarg, Odessa Young, and Logan Lerman—who all return to the Festival to give another memorable performance. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT Shirley Jackson was a wildly unorthodox human and storyteller. Encountering her work was like finding a map towards becoming the kind of artist I would like to be. Daring. Intimate. Structured yet dreamlike. Shirley’s work rides on the skin between imagined and real, seducing with its oddness and humble cracks until you can’t tell if you’re looking up the stairwell or into your own mouth.

  • Shirley Jackson's “The Lottery” and Holocaust Literature
    humanities Article Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” and Holocaust Literature Michael Robinson Writing and Rhetoric Department, Harrington School of Communication and Media, College of Arts and Sciences, University of Rhode Island, Kingstown, RI 02881, USA; [email protected] Received: 12 January 2019; Accepted: 19 February 2019; Published: 25 February 2019 Abstract: Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” has been notorious since its first publication in 1948, but rarely, if ever, has it been read in light of its immediate historical context. This essay draws on literature, philosophy, and anthropology from the period to argue that Jackson’s story, which scholars have traditionally read through the lens of gender studies, invokes the themes of Holocaust literature. To support this argument, the essay explores imaginative Holocaust literature from the period by David Rousset, whose Holocaust memoir The Other Kingdom appeared in English translation in 1946, anthropological discourse from the period on scapegoating and European anti-Semitism, and critical discourse on the Holocaust and anti-Semitism from the period by Hannah Arendt and Theodor Adorno. The analysis finds that, in representing the phenomena of scapegoating and death selection in a small town in the US, Jackson’s story belongs to an abstract discourse on Holocaust-related themes and topics that was actively produced at midcentury, as evidenced partly by Rousset’s influential memoir. A master of the horror genre, Jackson could have drawn on her own experience of anti-Semitism, along with her known interest in the study of folklore, to contribute this chilling representation of the personal experience of death selection to a discourse on Holocaust-related themes.

    Contemporary Justice Review Vol. 7, No. 4, December 2004, pp. 411–419 Arbitrary Condemnation and Sanctioned Violence in Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” Patrick J. Shields ThisTaylorGCJR7405.sgm10.1080/1028258042000305884Contemporary1028-2580Original200474000000December and& ArticleFrancis (print)/1477-271XFrancis Justice Ltd 2004 Ltd Reviewarticle (online) will discuss current issues surrounding the administration of capital punish- ment in the U.S. with insights from Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”. The story itself shows the atavistic nature lurking beneath humankind’s civilized surface and leads the reader to examine such notions as scapegoating, ritual cleansing, gender, class structure, arbitrary condemnation, and sanctioned violence. There may be more truth in Jackson’s short story than the reader cares to confront. This opens the possibility that fiction can give us more insight into value issues than other sources can. Although fiction is made up of imaginary elements, it is true to reality and human experience. The legal historical reality of capital punishment and its subsequent implementation as it has existed and still exists in our culture purports to establish and maintain what amounts to a legal fiction of its own. In this story, Jackson presents us with a glimpse into humankind’s past and brings the reader to question the justification and use of capital punishment in our culture. Keywords: Arbitrary Condemnation; Atavism; Capital Punishment; Ritual Cleansing; Sanctioned Violence; Scapegoating The less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it. (Mark Twain) It is a pleasant day in late June. The townsfolk gather in the village square as they do each year for this event.

Beaumont felt chilled suddenly, in spite of the fire… Most likely it was the thing’s mouth, red-lipped and fiendishly grinning, or maybe its face, which was white, expressionless, the face of a clown in full greasepaint.’ Dennis Beaumont drove an ambulance in World War One. He returns home to London, hoping to pick up his studies at Oxford and rediscover the love he once felt for his fiancée Lucy. But nothing is as it once was. Mentally scarred by his experiences in the trenches, Beaumont finds himself wandering further into darkness. What really happened to the injured soldier he tried to save? Who is the figure that lurks in the shadows? How much do they know of Beaumont, and the secrets he keeps?

Stories about anything, anything at all. Just stories. After all, who can vacuum a room and concentrate on it? I tell myself stories…They keep me working, my stories.” —“Memory and Delusion,” Shirley Jackson The home space exists at the center of Shirley Jackson’s writing, presented to readers as a force of consistent fascination for characters. The domestic setting is one where Jackson manages to (or, attempts to) break free from enforced societal structure. Her work deconstructs the Freudian double, offering sardonically humorous takeaways that give way to liminality and horror alongside happiness. Fear in the everyday through a domesticized setting tangles and blurs the rigidly imposed lines of humor/horror, the mother/writer, housewife/public figure, and demon/angel of the house.
