Privatized Futures, Climate Control, and Resistance in Recent Scottish Dystopian Fiction by Peter Clandfield

New Orleans as the city of misfit women in Jezebel (William Wyler, 1938) and The Flame of New Orleans (René Clair, 1941) by Taïna TUHKUNEN

“…In several Hollywood movies on the antebellum South, the city of New Orleans pivots upon an unruly woman, ill-adapted to the codes and customs of the country, to serve the cinematographic portrayal of the 19th century Louisiana city, viewed as a topos of cultural and sexual instabilities, as well as a perfect site for spectacles and shows of all kinds. Viewed as a strikingly un-American city where cultural codes mingle and mix without, however, engendering a “melting pot”, New Orleans offers an engaging backdrop for filmic fictions challenging the archetypal romantic image of the “Old South”.This article explores two such fictional female figures who defy the vision of the pastoral South rooted in 19th century plantation novels in William Wyler’s Jezebel (1938) and The Flame of New Orleans (1941), a movie made by the French filmmaker René Clair during his exile in the United States during the Second World War. …”
