Forrest Gump: comic representations of the recent American past
No full textMestrado em Línguas, Literaturas e Culturas - Estudos InglesesO presente trabalho propõe-se pesquisar a abordagem histórica das décadas de 50, 60 e 70 nas comédias americanas contemporâneas. Deste modo espero destacar os acontecimentos da história americana no passado recente que se prestaram a uma abordagem cinematográfica e foram retratados em comédias. As reacções a esses filmes permitem ainda reflectir sobre os valores culturais transmitidos nos filmes de comédia. Esta dissertação também aborda as características e funções da comédia enquanto género cinematográfico. Na fundamentação teórica também são abordadas algumas questões ligadas à adaptação cinematográfica. A vertente prática da dissertação centra-se no filme Forrest Gump, explorando a sua relevância histórica, e a adaptação ao cinema.
ABSTRACT: This dissertation is intended to research historical approaches to the fifties, sixties and seventies in contemporary comedy films. Doing so, I expect to cast some light on recent American events that have proved to be cinematic and likely to be explored in a comic perspective. Viewers´ response to these films is also to be analysed so as to reflect on the cultural values rendered in comedy forms. Moreover, this dissertation includes some thought on the narrative and generic features of comedy as a film genre. The theoretical section also covers some issues raised by film adaptation. The practical research section focuses on the film Forrest Gump, exploring both its historical significance, and the precise nature of this adaptation
Sheila Forrest
No full textI received a MA in Scottish Medieval History from Glasgow University, then worked in the Mitchell Library in Glasgow (then the largest public reference library in Europe) as a graduate trainee before going to the University of Strathclyde to study for a Post Graduate Diploma in Librarianship.
After gaining that qualification, I worked in the Glasgow Room of the Mitchell Library until 1979 when I became Reference Librarian at Inverness Regional Library.
In 1980 I came to Darwin, then travelled in Australia. In 1981, I was appointed as a Reference Librarian in the State Reference Library. I worked for Dr Thea Schmitz until her retirement. I was then the Manager of the State Library and the Northern Territory Library until I resigned from the Northern Territory Public Service in 1997.
Since then my husband Peter and I have worked as freelance historians, writers and heritage consultants. We are based in Darwin but the focus of our work is on the people and places of northern and inland Australia. We specialise in the communication of history and heritage in ways that are designed to reach the general community. This outreach has been achieved through books, articles, film productions, display centres, leaflets and signage. Source: Sheila Forrest, 4 January 2011.LibrarianHistorianResearcherScottis
