  • EVALUATING PEACE OPERATIONS: the CASE of CAMBODIA Jeni
    EVALUATING PEACE OPERATIONS: THE CASE OF CAMBODIA Jeni Whalan* For Colonel Cathcart, Joseph Heller’s ambitious group commander in the novel Catch-22, policy evaluation is an exercise in binary simplicity: outcomes are either ‘feathers in his cap’ or ‘black eyes’.1 His purpose for evaluation is clear: to ascertain whether a particular endeavor would reflect well or poorly on him in the eyes of his superiors. Heller’s example serves to remind us that evaluation is not a neutral exercise. The purposes – and consequences – of evaluating a peace opera- tion are the cause of much contestation. In organizational terms, who deserves the ‘black eye’ of failure: the UN or its member states; the Secretariat in New York or the field operation; or particular agencies or components within an operation? Or, indeed, is it agents within the con- flict environment: parties to the conflict, political leaders, or spoilers? Who deserves the ‘feather’ of success? And as Colonel Cathcart so tragi- cally discovers, when might a feather by one standard turn out to be a black eye by another? In a practical sense, the outcomes of evaluation can have real policy effects. Success has a legitimizing function for peace operations and fail- ure a delegitimizing one. In the field, an operation’s ability to point to success may help peacekeepers to gain the local support they need to achieve further goals. Internationally, evaluations of success help to justify particular acts of intervention, courses of action and, perhaps most important, the expenditure of resources. While independent academic analysis can more often stand back from the sharp end of such contestation and apply a seemingly neutral evalua- tive framework, here too we must be mindful of our purpose.

  • Catch-22 Star George Clooney Shares the Catalyst for His Long-Awaited Return to Television in Emmy® Magazine
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CATCH-22 STAR GEORGE CLOONEY SHARES THE CATALYST FOR HIS LONG-AWAITED RETURN TO TELEVISION IN EMMY® MAGAZINE (NoHo Arts District, Calif. — May 10, 2019) — More than 58 years after the publication of Joseph Heller’s classic anti-war novel Catch-22, some of the biggest players in Hollywood are bringing the acclaimed story to a new audience. In the May 10 issue of the award-winning emmy magazine, series executive producer, director and star George Clooney, along with co-stars Kyle Chandler and Christopher Abbott, share the challenges of bringing one of the 20th century’s most renowned literary works to life. While many believed that turning the free-form narrative of Catch-22 into a linear, limited series couldn’t be done, Clooney, along with fellow executive producers Grant Heslov, Richard Brown and the late Steve Golin of Anonymous Content, and series writers, Luke Davies and David Michôd, were up for the challenge. They believed the timeliness of the source material would resonate with a 21st century audience. The six-hour limited series premieres on Hulu May 17. In “A Moral Mission,” the producers and writers share that they were struck by the many ways Catch-22 parallels the current political climate. “There’s an incredible dovetailing between the madness of Heller’s world that David and I tried to translate to the TV screen, and the madness of the world we wake up to every morning,” Davies says. Catch-22 marks the return to series television for Clooney, last seen two decades ago on the NBC drama ER.

  • Narrative Time and Mental Space in the Graduate, Catch-22, and Carnal Knowledge
    Montclair State University Montclair State University Digital Commons Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects 8-2020 Architecture of the Mind : Narrative Time and Mental Space in The Graduate, Catch-22, and Carnal Knowledge Monica Cecilia Winston Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.montclair.edu/etd Part of the English Language and Literature Commons ABSTRACT This thesis explores three of director Mike Nichols’s films produced during the New Hollywood period—The Graduate (1967), Catch-22 (1970), and Carnal Knowledge (1971)—in an effort to trace Nichols’s auteur signature as it relates to the depiction of the protagonist’s subjectivity and renders post-war male anxiety and existential dread. In addition to discussing formal film technique used to depict the mental space of the protagonist, how these subjective sequences are implemented in the film bears implications on the narrative form and situates Nichols alongside other New Hollywood directors who were influenced by art cinema. This analysis, like those posited by other critics influenced by film theorist David Bordwell, distinguishes the term “art cinema” as employing a range of techniques outside of continuity editing that are read as stylistic, and because of this it entails specific modes of viewership in order to find meaning in style. Because of the function of style, the thesis posits thematic kinship among The Graduate, Catch-22, and Carnal Knowledge, which enriches the film’s respective meanings when viewed side by side.

  • Catch-22, Joseph Heller Was Working in New York City in Advertising, Serving Three Large Publi- Cations from 1952 to 1961
    W Brett Wiley Cathcart and the Magazine hile writing Catch-22, Joseph Heller was working in New York City in advertising, serving three large publi- cations from 1952 to 1961. In 1952, he began working for TimeW, until 1956 when he became the advertising man- ager for Look. In 1958, he was hired as the promotion manager at McCall’s,a position he held until the release of the novel in 1961. He had an insider’s view of the magazine business and was familiar with the coverage, the adver- tisements, and the layout. The copywriter turned novelist had also published five stories in the Atlantic Monthly, Story, and Esquire by the time he began working in the industry.1 While writing the novel, Heller would spend two hours every night working on the manuscript after working a full day at the office.2 His employment at Time, Look, and McCall’s appeared to be simply the backdrop for the writing of his first book. However, because he formulated the initial plans for the book during his employment at three magazines, the inclusion of a periodical in the novel was significant. Joseph Heller’s incorporation of a magazine was designed to display the ambitiousness of Colonel Cathcart and likewise the aspiration of American society. For Heller, ambition was the defining characteristic of Yossarian’s superior. According to James Nagel in “The Catch-22 Note Cards,” when the author first planned the section on the colonel his notes began with item one, “Cathcart’s background and ambition.” The colonel was obsessed with aspiring and achieving the rank of general, the highest level of command in the military.3 Nagel also explained that a fourth item on the same card of notations, “Tries to have Chaplain say prayer at briefing,” related “log- ically to Cathcart’s ambition.”4 In the book, the novelist connected his idea to have the chaplain say prayers before briefings to coverage of such an event that Cathcart discovered in The Saturday Evening Post.

  • The Theme of Wwii in Joseph Heller's Novel “Catch-22”
    European Journal of Research and Reflection in Educational Sciences Vol. 8 No. 2, 2020 Part II ISSN 2056-5852 THE THEME OF WWII IN JOSEPH HELLER’S NOVEL “CATCH-22” Maftuna Do’sqobilovna Suyunova, Ubaydullayeva Maftunakhon Omonboyev kizi Lecturers of Chair of Foreign languages for the direction of Natural Science. National University of Uzbekistan, Tashkent e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article is devoted to the theme and time –structure of the American writer Joseph Heller’s novel “Catch-22”. In addition, the author uses black humor in his novel in order to highlights that with the help of humor the author demonstrates the absurdity, anxiety and bureaucracy of the war. As well as the time and structure are also arguable thing in this novel. Keywords: WWII, Joseph Heller, Catch-22, anachronies, time, structure, black humor or dark humor. INTRODUCTION World War II began in 1939 and lasted for 6 years until 1945. It is important to say that WWII was the deadliest conflict in all of human history. It involved more countries, cost more money and killed more people than any other war in the human history. It is obvious from history not only the Uzbeks but also the Ukrains, Russians, Kazakhs, Americans, British and other nations fight against the enemies courageously. It is generally estimated that more than fifty million people lost their lives in the Second World War. Gruesome acts, in which both soldiers and civilians were dying because of absurd desire of some individuals to gain control over the whole world, are not rare in the novels and the way such deeds are depicted is almost breath-taking.

  • Michael C. Scoggins Joseph Heller's Combat Experiences in Catch-22
    Michael C. Scoggins Joseph Heller’s Combat Experiences in Catch-22 n the forty-one years since the initial publication of Catch-22, Joseph Heller’s best-selling 1961 novel about World War II, the book has been a favorite subject for analysis and commentary, and an enormous bodyI of literary criticism on the work has been published. There have been numerous essays on the novel’s structure, its debt to other works of literature, its humor and logic, its moral and ethical values, and its religious themes and mythical overtones (Nagel 4). However, Heller’s treat- ment of the war itself has received scant attention by most critics. A few writers have compared Catch-22 to other war novels, especially the novels of Ernest Hemingway (Nolan 77-81; Aubrey 1-5), and David M. Craig has written two essays for War, Literature and the Arts demonstrating how Catch-22 incorporated some of Heller’s own combat experiences (Craig “Revisited,” 33-41; Craig “Avignon,” 27-54). But the majority of Heller’s crit- ics have taken the stance that Catch-22 has very little to do with World War II and is in fact not a war novel at all (Kiley and McDonald v; Merrill Joseph Heller, 11). Heller himself consistently minimized the war’s influence on the novel in many of his statements and interviews. For instance, in a 1970 speech in New York City, he told his audience that “Catch-22 is not really about World War II” (Heller “Translating,” 357), and in a 1975 interview he reiterated those sentiments: “As I’ve said, Catch-22 wasn’t really about World War Two.
