Politicising stardom: Jane Fonda, IPC Films and Hollywood, 1977-1982
No full textPhDThis thesis is an empirical analysis of Jane Fonda’s films, stardom, and political activism during the most commercially successful period of her career. At the outset, Fonda’s early stardom is situated in relation to contemporaneous moral and political ideologies in the United States and how she functioned as both an agent and symbol of these ideologies. Her anti-war activism in the early-1970s constituted the apex of Fonda’s radicalisation and the nadir of her popular appeal; a central question of this thesis, therefore, is how her stardom was rehabilitated for the American mainstream to the point of becoming Hollywood’s most bankable actress.
As the star and producer of IPC Films, Fonda developed political projects using commercial formats, namely Coming Home (1978), The China Syndrome (1979), Nine to Five (1980), and Rollover (1981). The final IPC film, On Golden Pond (1981), signalled an ideological breach in this political strategy by favouring a familial spectacle, and duly outperformed its predecessors significantly. The first and last chapters of this work provide historical parameters for IPC in Fonda’s career, while the remaining chapters are structured by the conceptual and political aspects of each IPC project. Julia (1977) is discussed as an IPC prototype through its dramatisation of political consciousness. Coming Home, The China Syndrome, Nine to Five, and Rollover all exhibit this motif whereas On Golden Pond employs melodramatic nostalgia. Often discussed reductively as a star symbolising change, this thesis instead uses archival and published sources to analyse Fonda’s individual agency in historical context, as well as the cultural and political impact of her stardom. The IPC enterprise provided cinematic apparatus for Fonda’s political recuperation within the American mainstream, which, more broadly, harboured significance for the nation’s conservative resurgence at the end of the 1970s

Jane Austen and Professional Fanfiction
No full textAfter mapping out an expansive if brief overview of the long history of Austen rewrites, this chapter turns to a formal examination of the four novels that have been published so far in The Austen Project by The Borough Press (a subsidiary of HarperCollins, perhaps the most prolific purveyor of Austenian publications): Joanna Trollope’s Sense & Sensibility (2013), Alexander McCall Smith’s Emma (2014), Val McDermid’s Northanger Abbey (2014) and Curtis Sittenfeld’s Eligible (2016), a modern makeover of Pride and Prejudice. As a curated series, The Austen Project provides a convenient case study for an investigation into the figuration and function of the Austenian author today. Trollope, McCall Smith, McDermid and Sittenfeld were (and remain) established authors in different genres before they were commissioned. In their respective contributions to the series they also present themselves as Austen enthusiasts, thereby bridging the worlds of Jane Austen Fan Fiction (or JAFF, a discrete but large and diverse community) and professional secondary authorship (a broader category of rewriting with a combative literary history). What general observations about modern rewrites can we feasibly extrapolate from such a specific set of circumstances? What, if anything, can such a case study contribute to our critical understanding of rewriting? Rewriting here denotes an ongoing engagement with charismatic literature, with varying levels of textual familiarity, as distinct from ‘the rewrite’, a filmic term that refers to the mending of a failed screenplay by script doctors. Recent fanfiction (fan fiction, fanfic or fic) in this context, I want to suggest, is best understood in terms of enforced or (to use a milder term) belated co-authorship, which invites us to keep the original in parallel view at all times at both the levels of production and consumption: Austen-like works as co-written rather than over-written.<br/
