God’s Monsters
The Big Short 's Incoherence, Documentary Aesthetics, and Use of Direct Address
world the importance of a credit default swap on a double-A tranche of a subprime-backed collateralized debt obligation" (Lewis 222-3)? This question, asked by author Michael Lewis through the eyes of one of his subjects -Ben Hockettappears to have an answer: with great difficulty. Lewis's book, The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine, lays out the internal workings of the investment side of the mortgage crisis of 2007-8 which was instrumental…
The Bible onscreen in the new millennium
The extreme profitability of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ in 2004 came as a great surprise to the Hollywood establishment, particularly considering its failure to find production funding through a major studio. Since this time, the Biblical epic, primarily film and television features adapting stories from both the Old and New Testaments, long thought dead in terms of widespread marketability, has become a viable product, both inside an…

‘Keep it to yourself’
This article considers four films released in American independent cinema since 2000 that contain examples of female masturbation as linked with shame within the character constructs: Mulholland Dr. (2001; dir. Lynch), Secretary (2002; dir. Shainberg), Margot at the Wedding (2007; dir. Baumbach), and Black Swan (2010; dir. Aronofsky). Utilising formalist analysis of the relevant masturbation sequences in the films, along with psychoanalytic theor…
The 'digital glimpse' as imagining home
This paper proposes the concept of the ‘digital glimpse’, which develops the existing framing of imaginative travel. Here it articulates the experiences of mobile workers digitally connecting into family life and everyday rituals when physically absent with work. The recent embedding of digital communication technologies into personal relationships and family life is reconfiguring how absence is experienced and practiced by workers on the move, a…

An ideal journey
This paper explores the ways in which people use their travel-time on local buses, and explains how this knowledge can assist with efforts in many ‘auto-centric’ societies to make bus travel more attractive and encourage a shift away from excessive private car use. Framing the discussion around the concept of an ‘ideal bus journey’, this paper examines whether travel-time activities on-board the bus give subjective value to the journey experience…
Business travellers' connections to home
This paper examines the role of information communication technology in enabling connections to home for work‐related travellers. Although digital connectivity for work‐related tasks are well researched, the use of digital technology for home communication is under‐researched. The study draws on a qualitative study of UK ‐based organisations and business travellers to explore how these travellers use ICT s for personal use while ‘on the move’. Th…
Style and Form in the Hollywood Slasher Film
The box office intake for the Friday the 13th films up to 1984, including the original film and three sequels in the course of five years, proved to be quite large. Despite the fact that Jason Voorhees, the central character and main antagonist of the sequels, had been verifiably killed at the end of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984; dir. Zito), the producers decided almost immediately to continue this wave of profitability by continuing …
