and Church fathers, while also invoking the figure of the queer child to examine a history of harm and to look forward to reparations that may be possible in an imagined future. In a different register, Chroma collates different impressions of colour from artists and philosophers in order to create a queer history of colour as a means to expand the limits of what is communicable through language. In the earlier text Derek Jarman's Caravaggio and the short film Ostia , he plays with identity, taking on aspects of the identities of queer
representation.’ Here it is worth recounting del Toro’s own assertion that he is interested in a spiritual retelling of the event, not a realistic documenting of the event. Labanyi suggests that ‘In a country that has emerged from forty years of cultural repression, the task of making reparation to the ghosts of the past – that is, to those relegated to the status of the living dead, denied voice and memory – is considerable.’ (2008: 80) Arguably, these reparations will not only be paid through history books or political legislation: cinema can also play an important part in
’ (Art. 3.2) and recognises the right to obtain a ‘Declaration of reparation and personal recognition’ (Art. 4.1), the Law also explicitly states that although this Declaration will be compatible with the reparations already contemplated, it ‘does not represent grounds for the recognition of the capital liability of the State nor of any Public Administration, nor will it produce any redress or
’s emergence from – and ongoing entanglement with – imperialism means that it not only performs the dreamwork of empire but also produces rich imaginative possibilities for empire’s antithesis’.57 While the Ood episodes testify to how the reincarnation of Doctor Who performs the dreamwork of multiracial white supremacist neo-liberal empire, I hold out hope that a popular science fiction television programme might some day reshape how we remember British imperialism and perhaps even remind us why there can be no racial reconciliation without reparations for the sins of
theme, Stone and Kuznick argued that the USA was transformed by its financing of France and England during the Second World War from a debtor nation to a creditor: one that, C or po ration s in the aftermath of the war, had been changed radically. On Stone’s own evidence the picture is a complicated one. McKinley’s 1900 re-election had demonstrated a popular appetite for an expansionist agenda, but there can be little doubt that the channelling of German war reparations back to US finance houses after the First World War played its part in the financial and
Steven’s children: Bob is still only a boy but he is fascinated by the body hair on Martin’s adolescent body, while Kim is awakening sexually and is attracted to Martin. In this context, Martin’s demand that Steven should make reparations for the death of his father by means of sacrifice can be understood as the jealous promptings of Steven’s own unconscious in relation to the threat of loss that he faces from his maturing
the world. Before the revolution, Haiti, then named SainteDomingue, was France’s richest colony. After the revolution, supported by an American trade embargo, France imposed such a level of reparations on its ex-colony that Haiti was in debt to the ‘mother’ country until 1947. It was far too important an example to be allowed to prosper (Hallward, 2004). Laferrière’s engagement with this history is typically subversive. Cantet cannot bring it into his adaptation. He does however take up another historical reference from the book, this time when, in his voice
