Trousers and tiaras : growing up with Audrey Hepburn
No full textThis thesis considers the construction and circulation of the image-text 'Audrey
Hepburn', and its reception by young British women across two moments: the
1950s and 1960s, and the 1990s. The project uses a tripartite methodology: close
analysis of film texts, press and publicity relating to Hepburn; archival research
using sources including women's and film fan magazines, and interviews with
women who admire and have admired Audrey Hepburn. The thesis argues that
Hepburn can be understood as a star who offers an address to a feminine
audience, and goes on to explore the taking up of that address through analysis of
the data gathered in the interviews, paying particular attention to questions of
class, generation and socio-historical moment. The research presents a number of
different kinds of material: it considers Hepburn as a star and the reasons for her
enduring popularity; it suggests the flexibility of her image as key in
understanding this longevity and in enabling her to appeal to women across lines
of class and generation. The thesis argues that it is this flexibility, and the ways in
which Hepburn's image manages social contradictions, which have been key to
the way consent has been secured from women around her as a star. It
investigates the nature of the relationship between Hepburn and the women who
admire her, and also, through their detailed talk, offers insight into the social
history of femininity. In attending to both text and audience, the thesis attempts
to think the relationship between them outside psychoanalytically informed
theories of identification which have been hegemonic in film theory, offering
instead the terms resonance and recognition as ways of understanding that
relationship. An interdisciplinary project, the thesis represents a 'cultural studies
of film' which extends existing work on stars such as Dyer (1979,1982,1986,
1991) and Stacey (1994)
Foreword to The Organic Grower
No full textAudrey Windram is a living treasure of Australian organics. She has been ‘fighting the good fight’ to advance the cause of organics for the best part of half a century. When it comes to organics, Audrey leads by example. She has been living the organic life, variously as an organics pioneer, producer, evangelist, educator and author, all the while ‘practising what she preaches’ and preaching in the most gentle of ways. It is a delight to commend Audrey Windram’s latest book The Organic Grower on the fortieth anniversary of the publication of her first organics book. Organic Gardening originally appeared in 1975 as a Rigby Instant Book. It was a mass-market book distributed throughout Australia. The organics enterprise must continue to draw strength from the validity of its foundational premises and continue the fight which Lord Northbourne warned in 1940 may be a fight lasting “for many decades, perhaps for centuries”. In The Organic Grower Audrey Windram brings together four publications, Organic Gardening, the two volumes of Meet the Organic Farmer, together with Ways of Being Organic. Enjoy it
Audrey and Bill a romantic biography of Audrey Hepburn & William Holden
No full text"Here for the first time is the complete, captivating story of an on-set romance that turned into a lifelong love story between silver screen legends Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. In 1954, Hepburn and Holden were America's sweethearts. Both won Oscars that year and together they filmed Sabrina, a now-iconic film that continues to inspire the worlds of film and fashion. Audrey & Bill tells the stories of both stars, from before they met to their electrifying first encounter when they began making Sabrina. The love affair that sparked on-set was relatively short-lived, but was a turning point in the lives of both stars. Audrey & Bill follows both Hepburn and Holden as their lives crisscrossed through to the end, providing an inside look at the Hollywood of the 1950s, '60s, and beyond. Through in-depth research and interviews with former friends, co-stars, and studio workers, Audrey & Bill author Edward Z. Epstein sheds new light on the stars and the fascinating times in which they lived"-

Regulation of proNGF processing and its effects on p75NTR-mediated cell death following seizure
No full textNerve growth factor (NGF) has been known to play critical roles in neuronal survival and differentiation during development. Recent studies have
discovered that its immature form, proNGF, is a ligand for the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR). proNGF binding to p75NTR activates apoptotic signaling, and
this binding occurs with a five-fold higher affinity than that of mature NGF (Lee et al., 2001). This binding preference, along with the increased prevalence of
proNGF after injury (Harrington et al., 2004), creates a cellular environment susceptible to cell death; thus, the balance between levels of pro- and mature NGF may be a key factor in determining whether a neuron lives or dies (Lee et al., 2001; Volosin et al., 2006). Using both in vitro and in vivo methods, this thesis examined the mechanisms that regulate the extracellular processing of proNGF and the consequences of that processing on p75NTR-mediated cell death following injury. The results discussed here demonstrate that 1) proNGF binding leads to cell death via the p75NTR signaling pathway; 2) after injury, proNGF is upregulated and preferentially secreted in a functional manner capable of
activating the p75NTR-mediated apoptotic pathway; 3) the enzymes plasmin and MMP7 extracellularly cleave proNGF, 4) after injury, plasmin activation and
MMP7 activity are reduced, leading to increased proNGF-induced apoptosis, and 5) restoring plasmin or MMP7 activity following brain injury reduces proNGF
levels and consequently, p75NTR-mediated apoptosis. Overall, these data suggest that increased cell death following injury may be mediated in part by a
change in the balance between extracellular proNGF and the activity of its processing enzymes, leading to increased cell death via p75NTR.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Audrey P. L

Femininity, stardom and the everyday : a comparative account of the French female cinema star and the Hollywood female cinema star in French cultural discourses of the 1950s..
No full textPhDThis thesis explores the links between ideology, stardom, nationality
and the everyday. It argues that as France underwent rapid economic
expansion and technical modernisation in the 1950s, everyday life was
subsequently rendered `unfamiliar' whilst simultaneously retaining its banal
quotidian nature or `familiarity' - i.e. it became `uncanny'. It thus became an
object of intense critical inquiry and there was also a resulting object-fetishisation
within mass culture.
The introductory chapter argues that in a climate of urbanisation, a
new `leisure' culture and the explosion of the mass media (women's
magazines, news and picture magazines such as L'Express and Paris-Match,
American cinema, the launch of Cahiers du cinema, the beginnings of
television) the American female star became newly visible in this `uncanny'
everyday existence. Her fetishised body thus became a privileged space for
expressing the processes of Americanisation and modernisation in France.
Each empirical chapter takes an aspect of how modernity effects the body
(cleanliness, spatial positioning, clothing) and then explores in detail the
different ways these attributes were inflected in representations of the female
American star in France and her French equivalent.
My thesis thus engages with the ways in which cinematic
representation effects the experience of and behaviour within everyday life,
and how cultural discourses regulate both the individual and that national
body. It closely examines Edgar Morin's writings on the mass media and also
uses established theorists such as Henri Lefebvre in a new cinematic context.
It also challenges the ways in which star studies generally concentrates on the
star in their own culture in order to address stardom as an international
phenomenon. It concludes that the presence of the female American star in
France enabled the ideological management of the contradictory construction
of femininity at this time
