Jonasson","doi":"10.24877/jbs.98","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24877/jbs.98","url":null,"abstract":"This article revolves around conceptualising temporality and drama, with the example of how the broken time sequestered by Karl Marx’s notion of historical repetition and the struggles relating to this, in his supplement to Hegel, is displayed in James Bond films. A focus of the inquiry is an hauntological analysis (in the Derridean sense) of how the connection between heroism and tragedy in films evokes haunting presences of older versions of Bond, between actors, between films, and within the specific story arcs. While the heroism of Bond is exemplified by his sportive endeavours, time and temporality are understood as repetition, and foremost in relation to the phenomenon of the reboot—a specialty of our protagonist. In his battles with various villains, Bond becomes embroiled in action sequences that are curiously spiced up with extreme sporting activities. Such sports are often transformed in the cinematic context: sometimes they are emphasised for stylisations of prowess and violence; sometimes they are distorted into parody and comic relief, in an oftentimes ironic fashion. Fulfilling Marx’s adage about how history repeats itself (“first as tragedy, then as farce”), Bond’s personage not only reappears in different incarnations, portrayed by different actors over time; each actor also repeats a similar pattern in their respective Bond biographies enacting a sustained heroism emanating from the extreme athletic displays in the agonal theatre of sports.","PeriodicalId":173794,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of James Bond Studies","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125877636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on the changes made to longstanding characters (M, Moneypenny, Felix Leiter, Bond villains, and even the titular 007) in a failed attempt at modernisation and diversity. Despite the changes made to the supporting cast - such as casting Judi Dench as M, casting Black actors as Moneypenny and Felix Leiter, or dropping lines about Q’s sexuality - these two films promote Bond’s way of life as the correct way, a way of life cemented by his death. Both films are tied together by their narrative similarities as well as their mistreatment of minorities, which, though less explicit than in earlier films, is still present in the franchise’s continued desire for white patriarchal dominance. Despite more recent changes to Bond’s allies and villains, which would appear to be a grab for LGBTQ+ inclusion, BIPOC inclusion, and sex/gender equality, the conclusions of both Skyfall and No Time to Die maintain Bond’s white, heteronormative, and masculine control as an agent and representative of the British Empire.","PeriodicalId":173794,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of James Bond Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127423596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

"I ate one of their famous secret agents for breakfast": Psychopathy in Ian Fleming's James Bond Villains “我把他们的一个著名特工当早餐吃了”:伊恩·弗莱明《007大反派》中的精神病

Cavanna","doi":"10.24877/jbs.99","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24877/jbs.99","url":null,"abstract":"The psychological construct of psychopathy describes individuals without a conscience who, like Bond villains, knowingly harm others via manipulation, intimidation, and violence, but feel no remorse. The Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) assesses the clinical picture of psychopathy along two factors: Emotional Detachment (e.g., superficial charm, manipulativeness, shallow affectivity, absence of guilt or empathy) and Antisocial Behavior (e.g., deviance from an early age, aggression, impulsivity, irresponsibility, proneness to boredom). There is ample evidence of psychopathic traits in the characters of the villains, as portrayed in Ian Fleming’s Bond novels. The villains’ psychopathic traits cut across both PCL-R factors and the Bond-villain (Good-Evil) dichotomy, in all its declinations, could be functional to Fleming’s narrative scheme. According to Umberto Eco’s classic structuralist approach to Fleming’s novels, the oppositional relationship between Bond and the villain is one of the key dimensions that shape the narrative plot. A revised interpretation of Eco’s analysis according to the juxtaposition of psychological and psychopathic traits helps explain Bond’s character more fully. In the light of these considerations, literary portrayals such as Fleming’s vivid depictions of Bond villains could complement clinical evaluations of psychopathy.","PeriodicalId":173794,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of James Bond Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130542192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Licenced to Play: Espionage Role-Playing Games in the Late Cold War Era 授权游戏:间谍角色扮演游戏在冷战后期的时代

Like D&D, James Bond 007 allowed players to indulge in a world of fantasy and adventure. Unlike D&D, however, the game was set in the contemporary world and offered players a chance to find that adventure in the Cold War era. Using sociologist Wendy Griswold’s “Cultural Diamond” as a theoretical tool, this paper analyses how TSR’s Top Secret and James Bond 007 were part of a more extensive culture system of the early 1980s, especially youth culture (Griswold 2013). In this system, cultural meaning was constructed through the intersection of four main components: the Social World, Cultural Objects, Producers, and Receivers. The Social World component is life during the Cold War, especially throughout the early 1980s, emphasising how the primary receivers, young consumers, viewed this world. The Cultural Object is the James Bond 007 game and other espionage role-playing games, especially TSR’s Top Secret. The Producers of the Cultural Object include the writers and publishers, and the Receivers are the young players and the game administrators.
