  • Speech - Niagara Falls Sat
    Speech - Niagara Falls Sat. February 22nd-14 Good Afternoon....... Thank you for inviting me today ..... and thank you all for attending. It is good to be back in Niagara Falls - and I say that because in years gone by, I spent a lot of time here when we had a Regional heritage group — I was here when you had a tree designated, and I remember how the Mayor complained about how much it cost ! and when you were attempting to save the Bright’s Wines building where a grocery store was to be built - and we had a heritage house tour here one year and they had me stationed in a B&B which I was later told by the owner, was haunted...... and, of course, I have known Kym Cody for years - she is one of the most talented and gifted people I know-- and she has always had a great commitment to heritage preservation. A little known fact is ....this is Heritage Week in Ontario - although you would never know it — Heritage Day has been completely eradicated from the calendar and replaced with Family Day by the province, without notification or consultation. Of course, I have nothing against families, but why did the government steal the one day a year when we actually celebrated heritage. It just illustrates the importance the province places on their heritage ! Your theme for today is “Preserving the Past for the Future” - and that is a very big subject – so I am mainly going to focus on “what steps we have to take” to ensure this preservation, and there are a lot of them.

  • Kaiki Eiga and the Dawn of Japanese Horror Cinema
    Nightmares from the Past: Kaiki eiga and the Dawn of Japanese Horror Cinema A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Michael E. Crandol IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Christine L. Marran, Adviser August 2015 © Michael E. Crandol, 2015 Acknowledgements The initial seeds of this project were planted over a decade ago, when fellow movie buff Jared Hendrix asked me if I had ever heard of a film called Jigoku and a director named Nakagawa Nobuo (I had not). My thanks must first go to Jared and our little international film club for making me aware of Nakagawa’s kaiki world. Classic Japanese horror cinema might have remained nothing more than a private hobby had not Rachel DiNitto at the College of William and Mary recommended graduate school – specifically the program at the University of Minnesota, where she had a colleague teaching Japanese film, Christine Marran. I am forever indebted to both of them for guiding my steps and cheering me on during every stage of my academic studies. Thanks especially to Christine for fully embracing my decision to become “the horror guy” and never doubting I could do something interesting with my love of B-grade monster movies. The research required to do this project justice was carried out via a generous fellowship from the Japan Foundation. Special thanks to Fujimura Syuji, who was always available to help with matters pertaining to research as well as the day-to-day particulars of living in Japan. Fujiki Hideaki provided invaluable assistance and insight during my time as a research student at Nagoya University, and has continued to be an enthusiastic supporter of my work.

  • Desire, Anxiety, and the Politics of Chinese
    The Others: Desire, Anxiety, and the Politics of Chinese Horror Cinema (1989-2015) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Qin Chen Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Kirk A. Denton, Advisor Mark Bender J Ronald Green Heather Inwood Copyrighted by Qin Chen 2016 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of postsocialist Chinese horror cinema—namely, horror film of the period from 1989 to the present—and centers around the question of how Chinese horror films are responding to the dramatic changes China has experienced over the past three and a half decades. The return of the horror genre, which had been effectively banned in the Mao era, is a consequence of both market reforms and the social malaise and anxieties engendered in the radical social and economic transformations of this period. Through analyzing multiple issues in a large number of horror films in the framework of the Self/Other dichotomy from different perspectives of history, gender, class, and identity, this dissertation seeks to broaden our understanding of both postsocialist China and postsocialist cinema. ii DEDICATION To my beloved parents iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It has been a long road for me to reach this point. The dissertation would not have been possible without the advice, help, and support from many people. First and foremost, I wish to thank my adviser, Prof. Kirk Denton, an inspiring and understanding mentor, for his tenacious dedication and support offered during the course of my graduate studies, research, and dissertation writing.
