Small Scale Research: How race is constructed in Britsh Social problem films
This document outlines a small-scale research project analyzing how 'race' is constructed in British social problem films from the late 1940s and 1950s. It focuses on four films: Sapphire (1959), Flame in the Streets (1961), A Taste of Honey (1961), and Pool of London (1951). Initial findings suggest the films represented race through dialogue, mise-en-scene, and sound, while also reflecting the social context of immigration and debates around British national identity at the time. The investigation will analyze representations of black and white races, sexuality, imperialism, and stereotypes to understand how race was constructed in these films.

"Her Life's Solace Was Visiting and News": social networks and gossip in nine...The Nation, Genre and Gender Project
Gossip is an integral facet of the social and narrative landscapes of 19th century novels. When two or more characters gather on the page to discuss a third (or additional) character(s), their conversation provides narrative exposition, illustrates the personalities and sentiments of the gossipers themselves (as well as their subjects of discussion), and is frequently a spur to dramatic action. In the humanities and social sciences, gossip has been conceptualised both as a subversive communicative mode and as a socially conservative one; meanwhile, social network analysis research has examined how the act of gossiping affects individuals and groups, and has identified network structures that are characteristic of gossip and its spread through a community. Combining these approaches, this paper utilises the corpus of literary social network analyses that have been prepared by the interdisciplinary Nation, Genre and Gender project, a large-scale survey of 19th century British and Irish novels combining computer science and humanities methodologies. We identify a number of scenes in these novels in which gossip occurs, and utilise these as prototypical social networks in order to investigate how gossip manifests throughout the wider corpus. Our focus is on the identification of theoretical "gossip structures" in the networks, and whether these are associated with particular aspects of the novel, such as its genre, the gender of the author or the attributes of the characters involved.Things fall apart and heart of darkness
This document summarizes and compares the novels Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe and Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. It notes that Things Fall Apart depicts the Igbo culture in Africa and the impact of colonialism from the perspective of a black man, portraying a more realistic image of Africa. In contrast, Heart of Darkness depicts Africa from the perspective of a white man and portrays a darker, more primitive image of Africa influenced by imperialism and racism. In conclusion, the document states that Achebe's portrayal of Africa in Things Fall Apart is more cultured and realistic compared to Conrad's darker, racist portrayal in Heart of Darkness.
Chapter 42
The document discusses various ways in which Americans rebelled against conformity in the 1950s. It describes how some social critics viewed the rapid suburbanization of this time as creating bland, conformist lifestyles. However, the document also outlines several currents of nonconformity, such as Beatniks rejecting conventions, the rise of rock and roll youth culture, and abstract expressionist art rebelling against realistic styles. Overall, while the 1950s are often seen as conformist, the document shows there were also undercurrents of rebellion through subcultures, music, art, and literature.
Black Arts Era
The Black Arts Movement of the 1960s-1970s aimed to develop a body of artistic works that would change perceptions of African American identity and provide empowerment. Key figures included Amiri Baraka, who founded the movement in Harlem and wrote influential works like Dutchman that addressed racial oppression. Audre Lorde and Nikki Giovanni also produced impactful poetry exploring themes of black pride, oppression, and personal survival. Meanwhile, leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X advocated for black freedom and rights through non-violent and more militant approaches respectively.

Effects of Minstrelsy
This document discusses the relationship between critical race theory and minstrelsy. It begins with definitions of critical race theory and a history of minstrelsy, including its roots in the abolitionist movement and its popularization of racist blackface caricatures. It then examines how minstrelsy reinforced white supremacy and negative stereotypes of Black people. The document analyzes how these stereotypes were perpetuated in other media like film and how minstrelsy commodified both Black labor and culture. It concludes by noting that racist blackface depictions still exist today and their portrayal represents a toxic culture of racism.
Pioneer to Black Voices: Pearl Primus and Strange Fruit
Pearl Primus's 1943 dance piece Strange Fruit had a major social impact by humanizing black people and telling authentic black stories through dance. The piece was inspired by the song Strange Fruit which protested lynchings. Primus's choreography depicted the emotional aftermath of a lynching from the perspective of a white woman, challenging racial biases. Strange Fruit helped legitimize black concert dance and paved the way for future black choreographers like Jawole Willa Jo Zollar to continue advancing black representation in dance.
Bill Bojangles Robinson: An Icon of Early Tap

He had a long career in vaudeville and on Broadway, and appeared in 14 films, often playing servants alongside Shirley Temple. While his film roles faced criticism, Robinson helped combat racism through groups like the Negro Actors Guild. He developed new tap styles and influenced future black entertainers, with his legacy commemorated through events like National Tap Dance Day.

The company staged several productions over its existence before disbanding in 1988 due to financial difficulties.
Representation in Social Realism
Social realist films aimed to extend representation to include more groups and individuals from working class backgrounds that were seldom seen in mainstream cinema. Lindsay Anderson felt that cinema had severely underrepresented the working class, and through his films he sought to improve upon previous conceptions of realism. While early social realist films often portrayed women as targets of attacks, later representations showed women taking on more important roles in the workforce and society as a whole. In general, social realist texts focused on representing working class characters in British films.
Birth of a nation within our gates-2021
D.W. Griffith was an influential early American film director who helped develop cinematic techniques like close-ups, parallel editing, and the use of camera movement. His 1915 film Birth of a Nation promoted racist ideas about Reconstruction and the role of the Ku Klux Klan.

As social media empowers self-expression, the next generation may see improved portrayals and opportunities for Black women in these industries.
“Little Englander” – Fawlty Towers A Textual Analysis of Nationalistic Ideolo...
This document provides a summary and analysis of the 1970s British sitcom Fawlty Towers. It analyzes how the show represented notions of British national identity and community through the character of Basil Fawlty. Basil runs a small hotel in Torquay as a "mini-construction of Britain" with a narrow view of who belongs. He holds nationalist, classist views and believes firmly in traditions of the British Empire. His rigid ideology of who belongs causes constant conflict and prevents the hotel from being a harmonious community that accepts differences. The analysis suggests Basil's views represent a nostalgia for a lost imperial Britain and conceptions of national identity that exclude many people.

Dram 1310 chapter 3 lecture
This document discusses theatre and cultural diversity in three sections. It begins by defining culture and enculturation, then describes three basic types of theatre outside the dominant culture: theatre of identity, theatre of protest, and cross-cultural theatre. Examples are given for each type, including Yiddish theatre, African American theatre by August Wilson and Suzan-Lori Parks, and cross-cultural productions blending different cultures. The document emphasizes that theatre can be a way to see through another's eyes and overcome discrimination and ethnocentrism. National funding like the NEA helps support diverse cultural heritage and strengthen arts in communities.

- 1. Israeli Drama and the Palestinian Conflict Nicole Goldstein
- 2. Introduction • Israeli Theatre was non-existent until the country’s establishment in 1948. • Some of these earlier writings were seen as propaganda. • Plays were mostly social dramas, which revolved around the audience being both spectators and participants. • Variety of established theatres, fringe groups and avant-garde material presented today. • Thoughts about Israeli Theatre and perception

Israeli/Palestinian Conflict Plays Various titles including: – An Arab Woman Speaks – An Israeli Love Story – My Name is Rachel Corrie – Seven Jewish Children/Seven Other Children – To Pay the Price – The Trainer – Via Dolorosa – Wall – What Strong Fences Make – DAI (Enough) *Not all of these shows were written by Israelis, but this really tells a lot about individuals and cultures around the world and their reactions and feelings into this gruesome conflict.
- 5. Themes in Concerns with the Conflict • Israeli Identity, particularly in the younger crowd. • Zionist narrative and attitude towards Palestinians • Dehumanization • Ethical Issues • Personal and collective responsibility • Framing the Palestinians as “different” and to be considered a threat
- 6. Israeli Playwrights • Hanoch Levin was one of the most notable Israeli playwrights. He mostly wrote black comedies and satire pieces which reflected ideas of violence of modern day Israel and 20th century Jewish fate. – His tragedy Murder portrays the brutality of man in the midst of the conflict.
- 7. Israeli Playwrights Continued • Women playwrights were not discovered until the 1970’s, including Miriam Kany and Shulamit. – Throughout time, they tended to focus on realities of current events and individual responses to the national phenomena, war and the Intifada (Arab terrorist groups) – Currently on the Israeli Stage: – http://www.israelistage.com/

- 9. The Present Day Influences to Jewish Theatre • Historical and Social forces influence the works of Jewish Theatre
- 10. Questions Asked of Me • How am I supposed to find information about a country who has been mostly nomadic for many years to summarize their culture and theatrical performance standards if they are always on the move? • Could Israeli theatre’s performance be based in their nomadic escapades?
