Two events at Peninsular Arts – Post War Lesbians and Pulp Fiction and Weekend the Movie

Posted on June 24, 2012 by Pride in Plymouth Posted in Gay Events, Lifestyle, News

Lesbians and Postwar Pulp Fiction

Wednesday 27th June, 7pm

FREE admission

Theatre 2, Rowland Levinsky Building, Plymouth University

A Talk by Dr Meredith Miller, (University College Falmouth)

What is it like to live in a society where the life you live is virtually invisible?

This talk looks at paperback pulp fiction of the postwar era, and the ways in which lesbians used it to create a sense of community identity.
What is the relationship between subcultural identity and mainstream media?
The talk will raise some of these questions through a look at the covers of these paperbacks, at the history of their publication, and firsthand accounts from lesbians of what reading about other lesbians meant to them in the 1950s and 60s.

Dr Meredith Miller has published widely on sexuality and popular fiction. Her Historical Dictionary of Lesbian Literature was published by Rowman and Littlefield in 2006.

Tickets FREE admission
Enquiries The Box Office 01752 58 50 5

WEEKEND – The Movie (certificate 18) Tickets £3

Wednesday 4th July, 7pm, Jill Craigie Cinema, Roland Levinsky Building

On a Friday night after a drunken house party with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a gay club, alone and on the pull. Just before closing time he picks up Glen but what’s expected to be just a one-night stand becomes something else, something special. That weekend, in bars and in bedrooms, getting drunk and taking drugs, telling stories and having sex, the two men get to know each other.

It is a brief encounter that will resonate throughout their lives. Weekend is both an honest and unapologetic love story between two guys and a film about the universal struggle for an authentic life in all its forms. It is about the search for identity and the importance of making a passionate commitment to your life.
