  • Kicking black images: Absent violence, unsynchronized sound and the problem of colonial labour in Trader Horn

    Barbara OwenARTICLEScreen2013

    Trader Horn (W. S. Van Dyke, 1931) has a significant place in film history because it was the first talkie filmed in Africa, and because its excess location footage provided the basis for the Tarzan franchise. This essay argues that Trader Horn has significance for film theory as well, providing a particularly revealing example of how a film's colonial ‘labour problem’ – the fact that it was made possible by black colonial labour, but needs to co…

  • Feminist Ethnographies of Women in Prison

    Beth E Richie, Barbara Owens et al.ARTICLEFeminist Studies2004Cited by: 4

    I CANNOT IMAGINE A PLACE where one might stand and have a clearer view of concentrated disadvantage based on racial, class, and gender in equality in the country then from inside the walls of a women's prison.

This discussi…

  • The Other Mr. Selby

    Barbara OwenARTICLEAmerican Music1990

    The name of William Selby (1739-98) is a familiar one in the annals of eighteenth-century American musical history. 0. G. Sonneck, for his Early Concert Life in America (Leipzig, 1907), unearthed considerable information about Selby's organization of and performance in Boston concerts. This source has been heavily mined by other authors during the ensuing eight decades. Unfortunately, in the process, writer after writer has managed to rationalize…
