The second of Jane Austen’s novels, first published in 1813, is the most often adapted, inspiring various different takes on it. The ones pictures above are detailed below:

Pride and Prejudice (1940 Film)

This black and white film departs from the original novel in some (or should I say many?) points

Written by Aldous Huxley and Jane Murfin, adapted from the stage adaptation by Helen Jerome; directed by Robert Z. Leonard

Starring Greer Garson as Elizabeth Bennet, Laurence Olivier as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Edward Ashley Cooper as George Wickham, Maureen O'Sullivan as Jane Bennet, Bruce Lester as Mr. Charles Bingley, Ann Rutherford as Lydia Bennet, Melville Cooper as Mr. William Collins, among others.

Lizzie’s videos amount to 100 episodes + 10 Q&A, but shorter series enrich the story by offering other characters’ perspectives, most notably Lydia’s (and also Georgiana’s). A playlist at Pemberley Digital’s Youtube channel features them all in order.

The series has also been adapted into a book, The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet (2014), and spawned a sequel novel, The Epic Adventures of Lydia Bennet (2015).

The story takes inspiration from all 6 of Austen’s major novels (plus Lady Susan), but mostly from Pride and Prejudice. Others stars include Chandelly Braz as Mariana Benedito (Marianne Dashwood) and Anajú Dorigon as Cecília Benedito (Catherine Morland).

Features 100 episodes in the International cut. The telenovela has been broadcast in other countries and languages (such as Spanish) but as far as I know, not in English.

Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta (2019 TV Film)

Loose adaption set in modern Atlanta, USA. All-black cast. Written by Tracy McMillan, directed by Rhonda Baraka

Starring Tiffany Hines as Elizabeth Bennet, Juan Antonio as Will Darcy, Raney Branch as Jane Bennet, Brad James as Charles Bingley, Reginae Carter as Lydia Bennet, Carl Anthony Payne as Rev. Collins, among others.

*****

Personal favorites: 2005, then 1995. But also: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Orgulho e Paixão

I also enjoyed Atlanta and, while it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bride and Prejudice, it’s got Indian musical numbers so c’mon, one gotta watch it.

Back to the closer adaptions, despite its age, 1980 is also good! 1940 is...very different, but fun in its own way.

In fact, while I find some of these versions weaker, I could find enjoyment in all of them - but maybe that’s cause I’m a sucker for P&P.

What once was captured by the term hysteria during the time of Janet was broken down, with the publication of the DSM-III […], into numerous, seemingly arbitrary categories which were declared to be distinctly different illnesses with different causes, treatments, and prognoses. Essentially, responses to trauma, adversity, and problematic family dynamics became reclassified as diseases of the brain, genetic flaws of the mind or disordered personalities that were isolated from context and ostensibly disconnected by distinct diagnostic boundaries. […] This largely occurred along ideological lines and appears to be impacted greatly by biases based on gender, race, and socioeconomic status. The most common of these broken-down categories are: schizophrenia, DID, BPD, and PTSD. […] The result of this dissociation of madness is that comorbidity is the norm, with trauma survivors typically garnering upward of eight to ten diagnoses during their career as a mental health patient. […] Instead of understanding that people are complex and their reactions to difficult life experiences are also complex, the mental health field, instead, tells such individuals that they have a large number of diseases, each ostensibly requiring a different specific treatment, and, worse, that they have an essentially disordered personality. As stated by Read, Goodman, Morrison, Ross, and Aderhold (2004), “If we were not constrained by the need for a diagnostic nomenclature we might not need to separate abuse sequelae into seemingly discrete categories, such as PTSD, dissociative disorders, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, etc.” (p. 24). They suggest that instead these complex and adaptive responses to adversity can be understood as processes that have evolved over time into problematic disturbances in multiple domains. As it stands now, these discrete categories and areas of interest are entrenched in society and in services, with associated stereotypes that serve no one.

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries: 10 years later

So, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries premiered 10 years ago today.

Although I had read about it, I didn’t get into the show until pretty late in its run. I don’t remember exactly how far along it was, but I think it was somewhere between episodes 65 and 70.

Well, I flew through those episodes, and then had to wait for the next one like everyone else.

This show brought Pride and Prejudice into the modern day in a way that I believe Jane Austen would be proud of.

Ashley Clements leads the show in a way that makes you want to come back for more, even 10 years later. Mary Kate Wiles does for Lydia Bennet what Florence Pugh would later do for Amy March. She takes the sister who typically gets the most hate, and makes you love her.

Julia Cho, Laura Spencer, Maxwell Glick, Daniel Vincent Gordh, Christopher Sean, Jessica Jade Andres, Allison Paige, Craig Frank, and Brianna Cuoko are all joys to watch and perfectly embody their characters. 

Major props to Wes Aderhold for fearlessly playing a character that the audience was destined to hate, and that P&P fans would hate before he showed up.

Following The Lizzie Bennet diaries, there were attempts to make modern web shows of other classic literature, but I don’t think any of them worked quite as well as this one did.

LBD was special, and I am looking forward to doing a rewatch with Lizzie herself, as Ashley Clements does The Look Back Diaries.

The Use of Audio-Visual Archives in Histoires d’une nation, at the Service of a Counter-Narrative

         Histoires d’une nation, broadcasted on France 2 in September and October 2018 in four parts, is a documentary on the history of immigration in France since 1870, directed by Yann Coquart. This saga of almost four hours is composed of audio-visual archives, photographs, printed documents, filmed testimonies by immigrants or immigrants’ children, and a voiceover. Audio-visual archives come from diverse collections: Ciné-Archives of the French communist party, Gaumont-Pathé Archives, and INA.

          Audio-visual archives are mostly illustrations of an omnipresent voiceover, which leads the narrative. Most of them are colorised, have sound, and are reframed, so that their archival status is concealed. However, some of the archives are more than illustrative, being studied as a media representation of immigration in a specific period. For example, a film extract, starring Jean Gabin in the 1930s, embodies the idealisation of the working class after 1936 and the Front Populaire. Similarly, the celebration of football players, all of immigrant descent, on a sports channel, shows a period where origins did not seem to have an impact on the media coverage of players.

           The authors, Françoise Davisse et Carl Aderhold, also had to face the ethical issues met by all users of colonial images, and images made out of racist ideologies. They decided not to show British images they had found, picturing stereotyped Jews, because “there is no such thing as an “image of Jews””[1]. However, they chose to show images of the human zoos of the Colonial Exhibition of 1931, because they wanted to oppose these images to the first demonstrations for independence. Indeed, images are necessary to understand what colonial domination was. Still, the representation of colonised bodies raises the question of the right to a person’s image and dignity. Pascal Blanchard’s book Sexe, race et colonies, showing 1 200 photographs of sexualised, submitted bodies, without enough context, was highly criticised by some researchers and afro-feminist associations for these reasons.

           The use of archives in Histoires d’une nation is different from most documentaries concerning immigration. Indeed, these documentaries traditionally focus on individual micro-histories and/or family histories. The aim of Histoires d’une nation is, on the contrary, to include audio-visual archives within an editing in which the voiceover takes precedence over the image. They illustrate a national narrative, of which immigration forms an integral part. Thus, this documentary embodies a new interpretation of the past, with the ambition of having an impact on national memory. Indeed, this documentary was commissioned by France 2, broadcasted in prime time, and was followed by a debate hosted by Julian Bugier, a leading journalist of the channel. It was clearly addressing a broad audience. This demonstrates the will of France 2 to participate, in 2018, in the debate over a conflicting collective memory, especially concerning “national identity” and immigration. Though this documentary is not openly and radically involved politically, it is clearly a reaction against other discourses, themselves broadly publicised, picturing a “national narrative” from which immigration is excluded, or depreciated. Histoires d’une nation is only one example among many of the use of the past, and of audio-visual archives, to highlight conflicting memories, especially since the development of the new digital media.
