The Afterlives of Kathleen Collins

The Afterlives of Kathleen Collins

L. H. Stallings

Indiana University Press
2021
sidottu
An absorbing portrait of a groundbreaking Black woman filmmaker. Kathleen Collins (1942–88) was a visionary and influential Black filmmaker. Beginning with her short film The Cruz Brothers and Miss Malloy and her feature film Losing Ground, Collins explored new dimensions of what narrative film could and should do. However, her achievements in filmmaking were part of a greater life project. In this critically imaginative study of Collins, L.H. Stallings narrates how Collins, as a Black woman writer and filmmaker, sought to change the definition of life and living. The Afterlives of Kathleen Collins: A Black Woman Filmmaker's Search for New Life explores the global significance and futurist implications of filmmaker and writer Kathleen Collins. In addition to her two films, Stallings examines the broad and expansive and varying forms of writing produced by Collins during her short life time. The Afterlives of Kathleen Collins showcases how Collins used filmmaking, writing, and teaching to assert herself as a poly-creative dedicated to asking and answering difficult philosophical questions about human being and living. Interrogating the ideological foundation of life-writing and cinematic life-writing as they intersect with race and gender, Stallings intervenes on the delimited concepts of life and Black being that impeded wider access, distribution, and production of Collins's personal, cinematic, literary, and theatrical works. The Afterlives of Kathleen Collins definitively emphasizes the evolution of film and film studies that Collins makes possible for current and future generations of filmmakers.

Star Sonnets for Kathleen Curran 1989

Star Sonnets for Kathleen Curran 1989

Brian David Scates

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2016
nidottu
It was the precise title of the extremely beautiful song 'Superstar' with its emotional sense of absence and love possibly returning sung by Karen Carpenter of 'The Carpenters' that inspired these sonnets written for Kathleen Curran. Like Karen, Kathleen Curran died tragically young. Karen's exquisite voice will itself travel to the stars with Mankind. Karen Carpenter is also by association remembered in these sonnets. In these emotionally formed rather than traditionally formed sonnets Kathleen Curran - in literary metaphor- symbolically explodes as a superstar and then because of its own gravity implodes into a Black Hole of Enigma - meaning here death - in which anything may happen. Knowledge of what happens within black holes is unknown. So within imagination Kathleen and Karen may still exist within an alternative reality. I might add that the first line of each sonnet is based on a line or part of a first line of a sonnet written by William Shakespeare. This is a 2nd edition of "Star Sonnets for Kathleen Curran 1989". There are a limited number of 1st editions still for sale but these do not mention Karen Carpenter like the 2nd edition does.

I have reworked the story and fix 99% of my errors. Spelling and grammar. Here is a sample of it. Aron and his company of three and Durham cows, A full cart of fine wool, were on the Salisbury road to the fair. "Come me, lads, the fair does not wait," Aron said, walking beside the cart. James, a hearty lad of twenty-one, prods the cow to hasten the pace. Bruce, being up to the rear, twenty-eight and broad of weight from too many Bridie's and beer; tarries the speed. "Slow down. Ye be breaking' my legs." Kyle, the youngest at sixteen, leading the cows, runs ahead, eager to see his first fairA crossbows bolt buzzed through their banter to hit the cow's wooden yoke with a resounding thud. A second strike James in the back of his shoulder, and with a mortal cry, he drops to ground. Aron knelt at James's side, pulled the bolt from his shoulder, then a shadow loomed, Aron bolts, wielding his saber, a hand, and mace tumble to his feet. Jolted back, the shadow now has a face, a Viking raider, Aron recoiling his saber finding the neck, the head rolls away, "we're under attack." the words found no time to leave his lips. Aron focused now sees a horde of Viking Berserkers emerging from the tall grass east of the road. He glanced back at James to see he had rolled under the cart safe for now, Aron blocking another attack, deflecting the attacker's arm, causing the ax to be lodged in the cart's wheel. Aron ran him through and then slashing the throat with his knife. The Durham cows seeing, Kyle not moving, lying in the road stops. Aron looking around sees Kyle's head rolling on the ground, Bruce his dismembered body, lifeless beckoning, resembling a half-eaten bridie. A fight for their life outnumbered five to one. James finds his feet and a pike and joins the battle. A charging berserker is impaled by James' pike, but the Vikings ax splits James Skull. Unseen a blow dances Aron's head, and a sharp pain explodes in his side, Aron stumbles around, collapses dying, and is left for dead.

The Diaries of Kathleen Lynn

The Diaries of Kathleen Lynn

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN PRESS
2023
nidottu
The diaries of Dr Kathleen Lynn, 1916-1955, cover her involvement in the 1916 Rising, the War of Independence, the Civil War, and the formative three and a half decades of the Irish Free State. They demonstrate the revolutionary, socialist and feminist fervour of a radical revolutionary woman, what motivated her and the work she did for women, workers, and Ireland. The diaries, held in the archives of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI), reveal the often-difficult road that radical political women forged in the new Irish Free State, which viewed women through the constraining lens of marriage, motherhood, and domesticity. The diaries are also revealing of the supportive networks of political women, who worked together for social and political change. Central to the diaries is Lynn's vital work in St Ultan's Hospital for Sick Infants which she co-founded in 1919. Her diaries demonstrate vividly the number of women who led advances in medical care in the first decades of the State alongside Lynn. The diaries also record her family and personal relationships, especially her lifelong relationship with fellow suffragist, revolutionary and social campaigner, Madeline ffrench-Mullen. Few political women of the revolutionary era and Irish Free State have left behind as substantial an archive as Dr Kathleen Lynn. The publication of these selected extracts from her diaries are a move to readdress issues created by past archival practices which have, in many cases, marginalised or silenced the voices of women. The diaries add not only to our knowledge of the life of Dr Lynn but also to the histories of female activists, female networks, and intimate female lives in the Irish State during its formative decades. Edited by Mary McAuliffe and Harriet Wheelock with a foreword by Emma Donoghue.

A Dress for Kathleen

A Dress for Kathleen

Heather Richardson

Story Machine
2023

'Every family has shadow people, the ones who slipped out of the story too soon, leaving a blank space where they should have been. In my father's family that person was his sister Kathleen.' So begins Heather Richardson's astonishing fragmentary celebration of her aunt, Kathleen Hutchinson, whose life was cut tragically short aged just 14. It is the early days of WW2 and Kathleen has just left school to start her first job at a linen mill. But this dark and cold December night she doesn't make it home. Originally stitched into the fabric of a dress, Kathleen's life is presented here as a book for the first time. In the process, Heather Richardson also tells the stories of Kathleen's parents and their lives together in rural Northern Ireland in the first half of the 20th Century. A Dress For Kathleen is a labour of love from niece to the aunt she never met. Every sentence sparkles. Heather Richardson's masterpiece is a poetic portrait in prose and one of the finest books you will read this year.
