From Novel to Film: Claude Chabrol's adaptations of Ruth Rendell's A Judgement in Stone (La Ceremonie) And The Bridesmaid (La Demoiselle d'Honneur)
Get PDFThis study aims to define technicalities of filmic adaptations through two specific examples. Ruth Rendell’s A Judgement in Stone and The Bridesmaid were both adapted by French director Claude Chabrol. Based on film theory by Keith Reader and Phil Powrie, Anne Goliot-Leté and Francis
Vanoye, and Laurent Jullier, and on more specific adaptation theory by Robert Stam, this study focuses on the main issues that arise when a director decides to work with a literary text as a basis for a film-script.
From a literary angle of study, the questions of focalisation and organisation of the diegesis will be dealt with by using Genette’s criteria. Narrative tools will be compared to filmic ones and the study will evidence
differences in the range of devices each artist might use, and their different effects. The study of these two cases will lead to wider conclusions on the narrative side of the adaptation process.
The second focus of this dissertation will be the concept of film genres, as theorised by Rick Altman. The films in our corpus will be analysed through the lenses of the three film genres they belong to. This part of the study will further evidence that Chabrol based his works on Rendell’s novels but he also added elements to them, which resulted in a dense generic textile that goes even further than Rendell’s original literary genrification.
Lastly, the dissertation will try to define the two authors’ styles and lead a comparative analysis of their values and works. As that they did not produce their works at the same time and have never been working together,
questions arise on the relevance of one’s themes to the other. Works by Susan Rowland about Rendell and Guy Austin and Joel Magny about Chabrol will help define and compare the two artists’ values, and show their numerous
similarities
Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

The 'auto cannibal'
Get PDFThe relentless triumph of technology is increasingly dismissive of the human desire for interaction; we are deprived of experiences with the ordinary and become less aware of the potential such objects contain. The author primarily considers art as a means of understanding the world and his practice is based on personal observations and autonomous processes. This can often lead to an over-analysis of the mundane, which is directly confronted in each of my projects through an enthusiasm for the objects we not only take for granted, but do so to the extent that we barely notice their existence. Drawing inspiration from literature, philosophy and ideas which surround permanence in a society which is frequently considered throwaway, the author is influenced by personal insecurities and have developed a creative style that not only explores construction - in the obsessive means by which a work is made; but also one that celebrates the process of destruction - in that the materials the author uses have the potential to instigate their own demise in a process I generally refer to as autocannibalism
