Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: the Operatic Anxieties of the Fly
Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: The Operatic Anxieties of The Fly Yves Saint-Cyr 451 University of Toronto Introduction In 1996, Linda and Michael Hutcheon released their groundbreaking book, Opera: Desire, Disease, Death, a work that analyses operatic representations of tuberculosis, syphilis, cholera, and AIDS. They followed this up in 2000 with Bodily Charm, a discussion of the corporeal in opera; and, in 2004, they published Opera: The Art of Dying, in which they argue that opera has historically provided a metaphorical space for the ritualistic contemplation of mortality, whether the effect is cathartic, medita- tive, spiritual, or therapeutic. This paper is based on a Hutcheonite reading of the Fly saga, which to date is made up of seven distinct incarnations: George Langelaan published the original short story in 1957; Neumann and Clavell’s 1958 film adaptation was followed by two sequels in 1959 and 1965; David Cronenberg re-made the Neumann film in 1986, which gener- ated yet another sequel in 1989; and, most recently in 2008, Howard Shore and David Henry Hwang adapted Cronenberg’s film into an opera. If the Hutcheons are correct that opera engenders a ritualistic contemplation of mortality by sexualising disease, how does this practice influence composers and librettists’ choice of source material? Historically, opera has drawn on the anxieties of its time and, congruently, The Fly: Canadian Review of Comparative Literature / Revue Canadienne de Littérature Comparée CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC 0319–051x/11/38.4/451 © Canadian Comparative Literature Association CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC The Opera draws on distinctly 21st-century fears.

Mutating Masculinity: Re-Visions of Gender and Violence in the Cinema of David Cronenberg
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2011 Mutating masculinity: re-visions of gender and violence in the cinema of David Cronenberg. Loren, Scott Abstract: Though the films of David Cronenberg might not always be concerned with gender froma social constructivist or performative perspective, I think one readily agrees with Linda Ruth Williams’ claim that “for Cronenberg, anatomy is anything but destiny”3. For decades, his characteristic mutations of gendered bodies have repeatedly accompanied the destabilization of fixed notions about gender. It seems that the most fixed notion of gender to be found in his work is that gender is mutable. Likethe physical boarders to bodies in his films, gender is repeatedly undone, constantly shifting, threatening to become something else. For Cronenberg, a perpetual undoing and rearticulation of gender raises the question of when a man becomes a man in a rather unconventional manner. His films initially encourage us to ask other questions, like: “When does a man become a walking, speaking anus?” (Naked Lunch); “when does a man become an insect?” (The Fly); “when does a man become a machine?” (Videodrome, The Fly, Crash, eXistenZ). Of course one would also have to ask: “When does a man become a woman?” (Crimes of the Future, M. Butterfly) “When is a man completely unable to enter manhood?” (Spider) “When is a man a monster?” and “Is a man ever ‘simply’ a man?” (most of his films). It seems that with the release of each new film, one must rearticulate inquiries into the staging of gender in Cronenberg’s work, which is precisely what I wish to do here.

Chapter 24 the Cinema of David Cronenberg
Chapter 24 The Cinema of David Cronenberg Objectives: The objective of this chapter is to introduce the learners to the films and works of David Cronenberg, one of the leading Canadian filmmakers. Key words: body horror, graphic sequences, auteurism David Cronenberg (1943- ) Cronenberg’s became a significant presence in world cinema since the commercial success in the United States of his 1981 film Scanners. He is an author as well as an auteur, writing or adapting the screenplays for most of his movies.Yet, the English-speaking Canada has never been really comfortable with Cronenberg. A filmmaker of remarkable originality, Cronenberg has rarely received an appropriate consideration from scholarly opinion in English Canada. A voracious reader, his readings range from the modernists to science fiction, and he cites Vladimir Nabokov and William Burroughs, rather than any filmmakers, as his artistic influences. David Cronenberg’s movies are often described as ‘immoral.’ They are consequently criticized for being ‘sick, perverse, and sometimes downright depraved’. Often called Dave ‘Depraved’ Cronenberg and ‘The Baron of Blood’, he is one of the principal originators of what is commonly known as the body horror genre, a style of filmmaking which explores people’s fears of bodily transformation and infection. The idea of cursed intelligence occurs frequently in his films. His Videodrome (1983) is a commentary on how films and television have changed the notions of reality and fantasy. In Dead Zone (1983), based on a Stephen King novel, Christopher Walken plays a man who is able to see the end of life in anyone he touches.

SYMPHONIES of HORROR Musical Experimentation in Howard Shore's
SYMPHONIES OF HORROR Musical Experimentation in Howard Shore’s Work with David Cronenberg A thesis submitted to the Oberlin College & Conservatory Musical Studies Department in fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors by Vikram Shankar Spring 2017 Shankar, Symphonies of Horror 2 Table of Contents: Introduction 3 Methodology 6 Theoretical Frameworks 9 Early Experimentation: The Brood 20 Synthesized Surrealism: Videodrome 30 Breaking Through to the Mainstream: The Fly 40 Scoring the Unfilmable: Naked Lunch 60 Conclusion 77 Works Cited 81 Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror: original score 84 Acknowledgments 86 Shankar, Symphonies of Horror 3 INTRODUCTION With a career spanning almost forty years, Canadian composer Howard Shore has become one of the most respected and sought after film composers working in the industry today. Much of his work, in particular his scores for the Lord of the Rings films, have received much academic attention; his longstanding working relationship with Canadian horror filmmaker David Cronenberg, however, has not yet benefited from such academic inquiry. Using the films The Brood, Videodrome, The Fly, and Naked Lunch as case studies, this thesis examines the way that Shore uses the arena of Cronenberg’s films as a laboratory for personal musical experimentation. Examples include Shore’s use of electronic synthesizer sounds alongside a string orchestra for Videodrome, implementations of canonic techniques and against-the-grain writing for The Fly, and the incorporation of free-jazz aesthetics in Naked Lunch. Using as sources Howard Shore’s words and what academic inquiry exists in this field, but more often utilizing my own analysis and observations of the music and films, I argue that Shore’s scores incorporate such musical experimentation to work in tandem with Cronenberg’s own experimental art.

Modern American Song Cycles for Baritone And
LOST DAYS: MODERN AMERICAN SONG CYCLES FOR BARITONE AND PIANO by CHRISTOPHER JAMES WITHROW PAUL H. HOUGHTALING, COMMITTEE CHAIR ANTHONY BUHR DONALD FADER THOMAS ROBINSON DIANE BOYD SCHULTZ SUSAN WILLIAMS A DOCUMENT Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the School of Music in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2019 Copyright Christopher James Withrow 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This project consists of two parts. The first part of this project is a professional-level recording of three song cycles, each by American composers, performed by pianist Scott Santoro and me. The song cycles selected for this project are by composers Richard Burke (1947-2014), Libby Larsen (b. 1951), and Debra Kaye (b. 1956). The second part of this project describes each work, presents biographical information about each composer and poet, and discusses each work’s historical context and compositional inspirations. Two of the song cycles are written by composers whose works have not been widely recorded. The third is by a well-known composer with an established discography. The Lost Hours by Richard Burke and Slants of Light by Debra Kaye are both written for baritone and piano, and neither has been commercially recorded. Libby Larsen, on the other hand, is one of America’s most performed living composers and is widely celebrated in vocal music for her contributions to American art song and operatic literature. The Peculiar Case of Dr. H. H. Holmes for baritone and prepared piano was commissioned in 2009 by Dickson College for the Florestan Recital Project, and received its premiere on March 5, 2010.
