DIEGESIS : THE UNCONVENTIONAL MAGAZINE OF FILM AND TELEVISION CRITICISM

PRINT ISSUE
​

CUT TO [control]

#12
​
​2018

Picture
Welcome to our first flipped issue, a double issue in which we turn our attention to identity and control. The focus could not be more timely given the current industrial focus on gender, sexuality, race, class and power in the wake of #MeToo, #TimesUp, #OscarsSoWhite, calls for better support for working class actors and disability representation. 

“With great power, comes great responsibility”, said the French philosopher Voltaire. And Peter Parker’s uncle to the agile super-arthropod in SPIDER-MAN. For Peter, the key to his survival is to control his power, to harness it and use it for the greater good.

It is a notion explored by many of the film and television case studies considered in our 12th print issue. What does it mean to have control? Who is more likely to be in control? The following articles examine the consequences of being in and out of control, the influence exerted by some and refused by others, questions of wealth and poverty, status and hierarchy, consent, compliance and abuse.
