The Carer, the Combatant and the Clandestine: Images of women in the First World War in War Illustrated magazine
This essay examines the representation of women in War Illustrated magazine. Images of female civilians in Europe are central to narratives of German atrocities, while depictions of British women engaging in new occupations are key to the propagation of concepts of national unity. Women engaged in front-line nursing occupy a fluctuating status as vulnerable, potential victims and valiant pseudo-combatants. Female endeavours are celebrated in cert…
The deadliest thing that keeps the seas’: The technology, tactics and terror of the submarine in The War Illustrated magazine
This paper explores the representation of the submarine as an embryonic and influential factor in the First World War. In War Illustrated, reporting of German and British submarines assumed a high profile because of spectacular successes (such as U-9’s sinking of HMS Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue), and because of the perceived inactivity of the opposing battle fleets. The evolution of the magazine’s reporting of the submarine (from dismissal of its d…
Naval Narratives of Re-enactment: In Which We Serve and Sea of Fire
This essay examines two narrative examples of the Royal Navy and naval combat on screen, exploring their resemblances in the re-enactment of naval history and their portrayal of the past through consistent representational strategies. In Which We Serve (Noel Coward and David Lean, 1942) and Sea of Fire (Ian Duncan, 2007) use deliberate and self-conscious recreations of the past to authenticate their interpretations of British naval history, and e…
‘Where “Daddy” and Danger Were’: The Portrayal of Children in War Illustrated , 1914–16
This paper examines the representation of children in the popular British First World War publication, War Illustrated. Images of children occur within several contexts, linked to dominant contemporary propaganda discourses. These include concepts of national mobilisation within total war, qualities of sacrifice, endurance and patriotism and the demonisation of German tactics of ‘frightfulness’ (i.e. atrocities inflicted upon civilians). The maga…

Michael Mann is one of the most important American filmmakers of the past forty years. His films exhibit the existential concerns of art cinema, articulated through a conspicuous and recognizable visual style and yet integrated within classical Hollywood narrative and genre frameworks. Since his beginnings as a screenwriter in the 1970s, Mann has become a key figure within contemporary American popular culture as writer, director, and producer fo…

Public Service Ethos: Developing a Generic Measure
This article conceptualizes public service ethos as a multidimensional construct and develops a framework that explains first, why individuals are motivated by this ethos (Public Service Belief); second, how they deliver public services in accordance with this ethos (Public Service Practice); and third, what ends they perceive it to endorse (Public Interest). Despite considerable interest in public service ethos within the public administration l…
Adapting Australian Film: Ray Lawrence from Bliss to Jindabyne
This article offers a reconsideration of the films and career of Ray Lawrence, a critically acclaimed Australian director whose most recent film Jindabyne was a national and international successes in 2006. Although to date his output consists of just three feature films completed since 1985, Lawrence's work can be seen to embody, unite and typify several disparate ideals, debates and tendencies present within Australian film-making over the past…

This st…
