Yet unbeknownst to all, the military surgeon concealed a lifelong secret at the heart of his identity: on his death Barry was claimed to be anatomically female and in fact a cross-dresser.Vividly drawn and meticulously researched, The Secret Life of Dr James Barry brings to life one of the most enigmatic figures of the Victorian age, elevating its subject to a latter-day transgender icon – and is a landmark in the art of biography.

Considered by critics to be Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, Barry Lyndon has suffered from scholarly and popular neglect. Maria Pramaggiore argues that one key reason that this film remains unappreciated, even by Kubrick aficionados, is that its transnational and intermedial contexts have not been fully explored. Taking a novel approach, she looks at the film from a transnational perspective -- as a foreign production shot in Ireland and an adaptation of a British novel by an American director about an Irish subject. Pramaggiore argues that, in Barry Lyndon, Kubrick develops his richest philosophical mediation on cinema's capacity to mediate the real and foregrounds film's relationship to other technologies of visuality, including painting, photography, and digital media. By combining extensive research into the film's source novel, production and reception with systematic textual analysis and an engagement with several key issues in contemporary academic debate, this work promises not only to make a huge impact in the field of Kubrick studies, but also in 1970s filmmaking, cultural history and transnational film practice.

Con Barry Sullivan como pretexto para hablar de cine vamos a dar un paseo refrescante por cosas guardadas en el ba l del olvido, la caja de Pandora de los que creen conocerlo todo sobre la pantalla grande. Entremos a la c mara oscura y que salgan y se esparzan los demonios del recuerdo, que nadie es due o de este arte, sino que cada cual lo percibe a su manera, a sus vivencias personales, la primera risa, el primer susto, el primer ardor rom ntico, a la manera de Barry Sullivan precisamente en este momento.

"... Il y a maintenant deux femmes la cour de Louis XV pour appeler en m me temps et presque sur le m me rang l'attention publique. Elle s'y passionne vite et devient curiosit sympathique ou d nigrement, suivant les int r ts, les vues politiques, les habitudes morales de chacun. Avant l'arriv e de Marie-Antoinette, on ne parlait que de Mme du Barry; c'est un soulagement pour beaucoup d'honn tes gens de pouvoir songer, en se tournant du c t de Versailles, une figure sans souillure, une jeune et pure image qui laisse place tous les r ves, tous les espoirs des bons citoyens. On se met voir dans l'enfant venue d'Allemagne, trang re toutes les intrigues et d'une gr ce accueillante et fi re qui gagne les coeurs, la contradiction vivante de la favorite. La politique aidant, la Dauphine prenant Choiseul en amiti et en aversion Mme du Barry, les esprits se groupent naturellement autour des deux noms f minins que la Cour leur offre, et ce choix d' tendard semble bien d'accord avec les moeurs de ce si cle o r gne la femme. C'est ainsi que Marie-Antoinette, ignorante des choses de France et peu soucieuse de politique, devient presque sans le savoir l'idole de la nation ardente et sentimentale qu'elle est appel e gouverner. Un danger sortira pour elle de cet exc s m me: elle aura t jet e trop t t, par les circonstances, dans la lutte des partis, elle aura sem , Dauphine encore, la rancune c t du d vouement, et tous ces germes divers l veront un jour autour de son tr ne..."

The USS Barry toured post WWII Northern Europe on a people-to-people cruise initiated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The ship's crew was to spread good will among the nations that they visited. Their ports of call included: Portsmouth, England; Kiel, Germany; Rotterdam, Netherlands; Helsinki, Finland; Stockholm, Sweden; Copenhagen, Denmark; Cowes, England; Penzance, England; Brest, France; Lisbon, Portugal. It was the first time that a US warship had visited many of these ports since the end of the war. The author, then a 23 year old 3rd class Sonarman, kept a journal of his experiences and the people he met from the beginning to the end of that cruise.
