The paper analyzes The Duke as a networked narrative that frames the story of the theft of the painting of The Duke of Wellington locally. It explains how the film represents the North and Northern Englishness, deconstructing the stereotype of the Northern through humour and satire. It also looks at how the North is used as a geographical and a cultural space in which the film articulates its artistic, philosophical, ethico-political problematique. That is, how can everyday life escapes the grip of systems? The paper discusses this question by relating it to Michelle De Certeau’s theory of tactics and strategy.
