The ArtsSeptember 2008Thorold Dickinson
A world of film
by Philip Horne, Peter Swaab
The films of Thorold Dickinson (1903-1984), now being rediscovered, engage with major issues including national identity, the post-colonial world, and political violence - and they also show a rare mastery of style, a thrilling eroticism, a preoccupation with the psychology of betrayal. But the director of Gaslight, The Next of Kin and The Queen of Spades was also an editor, documentarist, trade unionist, film producer (for the British Army and the UN), pioneering academic and controversialist. His adventurous and truly global involvement in film took him to Paris in the heyday of silent cinema in the 1920s, to Stalin's USSR in 1937, to the Spanish Civil War, to Africa, India, Israel and America. This book gives a lively, multi-angled account of Dickinson's works, life and times, conveying a sense of his own voice and fascinating character. It includes a richly detailed introduction, a film-by-film discussion of Dickinson with Scorsese, vivid personal memoirs of the director, a dossier of Dickinson's original writings and interviews from 1924 to 1973 (some never previously published), critical essays on all the feature films, and a ground-breaking reference section. The book draws on extensive archival research and close consultation with those who knew Dickinson well. Contributors include: Martin Scorsese, Gavin Millar, Lutz Becker, Charles Barr, Laura Marcus, Kevin Jackson, Kevin Gough-Yates, Ian Christie, Gregory Dart, Hillel Tryster, Janet Moat. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2010World stages, local audiences
Essays on performance, place and politics
by Peter Dickinson, Maria M. Delgado, Maggie B. Gale, Peter Lichtenfels
World Stages, local audiences argues that the forms of intimacy and identification that come from being part of the public of a local performance, provide a potential model for rethinking our roles as world citizens. Using his own experience of recent theatrical practice in Vancouver as a starting point, Dickinson maps the spaces of connection and contestation, the flows of sentiment and social responsibility, produced by different communities in response to global sports spectacles. He also analyses how such topics are taken up in the work of playwrights, conceptual, installation, and performance artists like Ai Weiwei, and Rebecca Belmore. In so doing, Dickinson makes an original contribution to the emerging discourse on live art and 'livability' by examining not only the geographical and historical affiliations between different sites of performance, but also the - at times - radical new social bonds created by audiences witness to those performances. ;

July 2018Vertraute Dinge, fremde Dinge
Essays
by Teju Cole, Uda Strätling
Teju Cole betrachtet Kunst, wie er die Welt betrachtet: mit dem Blick eines unsystematischen Historikers, der zunächst beobachtet, beschreibt, das Offensichtliche in den Blick nimmt, um zu dem weniger Sichtbaren vorzudringen, das darunterliegt. Seine Essays handeln von der Erfahrung des Unterwegsseins und von politischer Moral, von Rassismus und davon, warum auch ein Präsident, der die »richtigen« Bücher liest, in seinem Amt Menschen tötet. Und er schreibt über das, was ihn geistig nährt: über Baldwin, Sebald und Tranströmer; über Brasilien, Italien, Palästina; über die Ästhetik westafrikanischer Auftragsfotografie und über Instagram. In bereichernden, betörenden und originellen Essays offenbart Teju Cole den Reichtum seiner Interessen. Immer wieder zieht er erhellende Verbindungen, von der konkreten Gegenwart zur Dichtung, von der Geschichte zur Kunst. Vertraute Dinge, fremde Dinge wird zu einer Schule des Sehens.
