Cawley Entertainment Company and Retro Film StudiosAnnounce Internet Series For Buck Rogers In The 25th Century:Cawley Entertainment Company and Retro Film Studios, LLC announced today that they have secured the rights from the Dille Family Trust to create and distribute a whole new web series based on the “Generation One” Buck Rogers franchise.Buck Rogers has seen various incarnations of the character on television, movies, radio and in books. This will be the first live action series of Buck Rogers in nearly 30 years and the first web based series of the characters.Executive Producer James Cawley will be bringing Buck back to his beginnings telling the story from the perspective of a 22 year old Buck Rogers who leaves World War One and is propelled into the 25th Century. “We will be using the technology we have today, to present The Original version of The First Sci-Fi Hero ever! Previous filmed incarnations never really captured the original Buck from the comic strips, which is what we aim to do” Franchise owner Flint Dille will be an Executive Producer and Consultant, and will be instrumental in keeping true to the Buck Rogers mythos. Charles Root who has been instrumental in the success of “New Voyages” will also be serving as Co-Executive Producer for Retro Film studios.Cawley says he plans to bring “every attention to detail and historical accuracy of the comics to the series”.
Cawley best known for his Hugo nominated and massively popular web series New Voyages – Phase 2 based on Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry has already begun casting for roles in the new series. “We’ve got our Buck and some other key characters and are in talks with actors who have serious science fiction credentials to join the show”So a while ago we talked on the podcast about how much we loved the teaser trailer for a new Buck Rogers Webseries. Ok granted the teaser didn’t show much but if it’s job was to try and take the foul taste left in my mouth by the awful Flash Gordon TV show then it’s made a good start.

Just the retro 30’s look of the spaceship speaks volumes that this is going to be a proper pulp style show.Anyway for those who have not seen it here’s the teaser.youtube=sweet looking right 30’s Sci-fi Pulp adventure fans? Anyway the makers have now released a clip from the series.
The clip features a young Buck arguing with parents for permission to enlist in the First World War. His parents are played by Erin Grey and Gil Gerald and who played Colonel Wilma Deering and Buck Rogers in the 70’s Tv show.
To me it shows that the creators are really trying to pull the stops out to do a good adaptation of Buck Rogers. I reckon if he were still breathing they would have tried to rope Larry Buster Crabbe, the original Buck Rogers, into this somewhere.youtube=more I see of this series the more I can’t wait to see the finished version.GS Reporter: NugeSource.
21st Century
What I want to talk around in this post are the intersections between History from Below and the History of Emotion. What might a history of emotion ‘from below’ look like, how do we get at it and how might it re-frame our understanding of the period I am particularly interested in – the mid-twentieth century? I’m approaching the 1940s and 1950s as decades when the meaning and status of feeling seems to be particularly contested. Tensions between a need for self-discipline and desire for self-expression, anxieties about the impact of war and secularisation on moral standards, and concern about the future of the family, coalesced into a post-war discourse of emotional instability. Within this context the correct management of emotion was a political as well as a personal matter and became a marker of effective citizenship in a rapidly changing world. And yet, I want to argue, emotion itself could drive social and political change, acting as a vehicle for the operation of agency within everyday life. It was also increasingly seen as a legitimate basis upon which to assert knowledge claims about the world and carve out a place within civil society.The historical study of emotion is, of course, founded upon the assumption that feeling is framed by time and place. ‘Emotions themselves are extremely plastic’ observes the medievalist Barbara Rosenwein, ‘it is very hard to maintain, except at an abstract level that emotions are everywhere the same.’ The so-called ‘emotional turn’ has generated diverse approaches rooted in the various schools of historical practice within which scholars operate.
Some approach emotion itself as – to borrow from Joan W. Stephen Brooke, Sexual Politics. Sexuality, Family Planning and the British Left, from the 1880s to the Present Day (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2011); Marcus Collins, Modern Love.
