Afterword to the Special Issue on Tim Hetherington
Refugees and Migrants in Contemporary Film, Art and Media
Migration in the 21st century is one of the pre-eminent issues of our present historical moment, a phenomenon that has acquired new urgency with accelerating climate change, civil wars, and growing economic scarcities. Refugees and Migrants in Contemporary Film, Art and Media consists of eleven essays that explore how artists have imaginatively engaged with this monumental human drama, examining a range of alternative modes of representation that…

Color in the Epic Film
A key feature of the epic genre since the appearance of the tinted and stenciled Italian epics of the 1910's, color technology and design constitutes a direct line of formal innovation that extends from the earliest iterations of the epic film to the exalted color symphonies of the present. The significance of color in the epic, however, has largely been ignored. In this essay, I argue that color design complicates the traditional understanding o…
Haunting in the historical biopic
Lincoln features several key moments in which the conventional, realist coordinates of the historical biopic open to a deeper sense of time and place, evoked in the film's references to clairvoyance, haunting, and ‘bad dreams’ – aspects of Lincoln's interior life that are well known but seldom expressed in film. The theme of haunting in Lincoln is rendered directly, but it is also suggested in the film's multiple references to the medium of photo…

Embodiment in the war film
In this article I compare two recent films that foreground the body at risk in the new wars of the twenty-first century. Paradise Now (Abu-Assad, 2005) and The Hurt Locker (Bigelow, 2008) convey the subject of the body in war from what would seem to be opposing perspectives, the first representing the experience of a resistance fighter, a suicide bomber in present-day Palestine, and the latter rendering the perceptions of a US soldier, the leader…
The balcony of history
Although the history film has played an exceptionally powerful role in shaping our culture's understanding of the past, it continues to be one of the most neglected areas of both history and film studies scholarship. This essay explores some of the reasons why critical study of the history film seems to have remained in a perpetually embryonic state. Robert Rosenstone's History on Film/Film on History (Pearson, 2006) serves as a springboard for c…
The relationship between lipodystrophy-associated body changes and measures of quality of life and mental health for HIV-positive adults
Social support and quality of life over time among adults living with HIV in the Haart era
Ethnic Nationalism and Globalization
In this paper, I explore the intriguing connections the film Before the Rain makes between the deadly resurgence of a kind of ethnic primordialism and what would appear to be its opposite, globalization, seen most clearly in the emergence of an international youth culture, visible in the common cultural vocabulary shared among the youth of different nations portrayed in the film. I argue that these two powerful vectors of contemporary life - the …

"Temporality as Historical Argument in Bertolucci's "1900
In Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900 the relations of tense-defined by narratologist Gerard Genette as order, duration, and frequency-convey a complex historical argument, serving as analogues to such traditional historiographic techniques as cause and effect analysis and linking of the particular and the general. Moreover, in delineating the mechanisms of the historical process chiefly through codes of temporality embodied in narrative form, the film e…
The Last Emperor
diate impression of the film, however, is decisively at odds with the stated intentions of the filmmaker, and with the highly structured argument concerning the historical process which analysis of the film brings to light. In this article I will show that the aesthetic use of in the sequences set in the Ching court can be correlated with the critical use of in the interrogation sequences through their mutual focus on the production of a image in…

Narrative and Sexual Excess
The principle protagonist of In a Year of Thirteen Moons is a transsexual, someone who has crossed an absolute border, transgressed the fundamental divide of gender upon which, according to psychoanalytic theory, all society the systems which compose it, including language itselfis based. Such a thoroughgoing anomaly would seem to demand an extraordinary restructuring of the narrative form which tells it. Instead, Thirteen Moons exhibits a balanc…
