"More or Less American: Sergio Leone's Vision of America in 'Once Upon a Time in the West' (1968)"
2012
This article focuses on the representation of the American West in Sergio Leone's fourth Western, which is the first to include several scenes that have been shot on location in the U.S. The author argues that Once Upon a Time in the West offers a critique not only of the classical Hollywood Westerns Leone adored, but also of his own brand of Italian Western, which may, in part, explain why members of the counter-culture were so enthused by the film at its release. The first section examines the way the use of American locations foregrounds the artificiality of Leone's spatial construction. The second explores the political implications of the inclusion of various minority groups, thereby r…

Thanks to two successive rhetorical stratagems (move to the Thirty episode and comparison with Marathon), the battle of Aigos-Potamoi is concealed as a defeat and changed into victory. Besides, this defeat is both anticipated and extended through the oration. Upstream, it makes clear a special feature in the discourse’s organisation (the reason why Aristides chooses a comparative point of view, which suddenly breaks …

Art and Commitment in the British Music Hall in its Golden Age
2013
International audience; My own speciality is the British music-hall, especially its later period, after 1900. I like to see this form of popular entertainment as fitting into a series of stories: at least three storiesFirstly, as an industry, and as a repertoire of songs, it fits into the history of popular music, in the period before the domination of recorded or broadcast music, when live performance and sheet music were practically the only modes of distribution. It is a period when many aspects of today’s popular music were not present – there were no live recordings of songs to contrast with their studio versions, no post-production, and where singing along in a group, rather than othe…
