Landscape and vision. Powell and Pressburger's 'A Canterbury Tale' 1944 - 2014
No full textThe film essay Landscape and Vision - Powell and Pressburger’s ‘A Canterbury Tale’ 1944-2014 (Eddie McMillan, Bryan Hawkins) has been produced by The Powell Research Group at CCCU to mark the 70th Anniversary of the film’s world premiere in Canterbury and celebrate its contemporary relevance. It has been produced with the support of amongst others, Thelma Schoonmaker-Powell and includes the voices of Martin Scorsese, Thelma Schoonmaker-Powell and Lady Sheila Attenborough (Alison Smith in ACT). The film has been made with material drawn from the Powell Archive at Canterbury Christ Church University, BBC Motion, ITN Source and The Criterion Collection. Landscape and Vision conjures a trans-historical, magical landscape alongside, and simultaneous with, the film and the particularities and actualities of Canterbury and England in 1944. The twenty-minute film reflects on the landscape observed and the vision imagined in 1944 and suggests its powerful and significant resonances with the present. As Martin Scorsese has suggested:
“It is a film ultimately about magic...magic in that the land itself re-energises the soul and the spirit”.
Experimentation is at the heart of the film to engage the investigative premises we set ourselves and to explore not only the surface of ‘A Canterbury Tale’ but also the films multiple layers of meaning. By choosing a palimpsestic approach, layers of image and sound can be seen, heard and ‘read’ simultaneously. The palimpsestic layers used here resonated with our aesthetic vision and are significant and disconcertingly prescient in their suggestion that while the past is often physically and metaphorically buried, if we scratch the surface both artistic and ideological intentions fuse to create meanings that suggest the present and the future are always connected to the past. This composite layering works to create a complex discourse that simultaneously links Britain’s historical, cultural and social past with its historical, cultural and social present. The importance of mythology, continuity and landscape in ‘A Canterbury Tale’ suggests that the English pastoral while ‘immanent and transcendent’ resonates beyond the original cinematic text
Addendum to G. B. Bryan\u27s “The Proverbial Sherlock Holmes”: Expanding the Paremiological Catalog in the Holmesian Canon
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to reassess the use of proverbs in the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, taking as a starting point the article previously published by G. B. Bryan on this same topic in Proverbium in 1996. In it, Bryan came to the conclusion that proverbs did not abound in the series. For this reason, the collection of stories and the four novels published have been surveyed for their use of paremias in order to establish their frequency of appearance and how they are used by the author. Once a rather extensive catalog of sentences susceptible to being considered as proverbs had been gathered, they were individually checked against dictionaries to establish whether they could be labeled as such. After a detailed examination of the materials obtained, this paper contradicts the thesis presented by Bryan and demonstrates that Conan Doyle uses proverbs in his detective stories quite often, most frequently through the character of Holmes
