Romantic Love across Borders:Marriage Migration in Popular Romance Fiction
No full textIn “Romantic Love across Borders: Marriage Migration in Popular Romance Fiction,” Amy Burge focuses on two romance novels published in 2019 to explore how they combine migration, intimacy, and romantic love. Helen Hoang’s The Bride Test tells the story of Esme/Mỹ Tran, a Vietnamese American single mother, who is invited by the hero’s mother, Cô Nga, to travel to the USA from Vietnam to seduce him. Although Esme and the hero, Khải, eventually fall in love, at the end of the novel, she is naturalised through her relationship with her newly found father rather than through marriage. Bautista’s You, Me, U.S. features Filipina Liza, who is pursuing a green-card marriage with her American fiancé, Christopher. However, Liza breaks up with Christopher and stays in Manila to pursue a relationship with her best friend Jo. In these novels, migration via marriage is clearly shown as a possible route out of precarity and poverty, but it is not a route that either character chooses. However, the insistence that marriage migration must be directed by romantic love represents a mainstream yet conservative view of marriage migration, which frames a notion of authentic romantic love in accordance with western cultural convention
Sparrows can't sing : East End kith and kinship in the 1960s
Get PDFSparrows Can’t Sing (1963) was the only feature film directed by
the late and much lamented Joan Littlewood. Set and filmed in
the East End, where she worked for many years, the film deserves
more attention than it has hitherto received. Littlewood’s career
spanned documentary (radio recordings made with Ewan MacColl
in the North of England in the 1930s) to directing for the stage
and the running of the Theatre Royal in London’s Stratford East,
often selecting material which aroused memories in local audiences
(Leach 2006: 142). Many of the actors trained in her Theatre
Workshop subsequently became better known for their appearances
on film and television. Littlewood herself directed hardly any material
for the screen: Sparrows Can’t Sing and a 1964 series of television
commercials for the British Egg Marketing Board, starring Theatre
Workshop’s Avis Bunnage, were rare excursions into an area of practice
which she found constraining and unamenable (Gable 1980: 32).
The hybridity and singularity of Littlewood’s feature may answer,
in some degree, for its subsequent neglect. However, Sparrows Can’t
Sing makes a significant contribution to a group of films made in
Britain in the 1960s which comment generally on changes in the
urban and social fabric. It is especially worthy of consideration,
I shall argue, for the use which Littlewood made of a particular
community’s attitudes – sentimental and critical – to such changes and
for its amalgamation of an attachment to documentary techniques
(recording an aural landscape on location) with a preference for nonnaturalistic
delivery in performance
