  • The World According to Samuel Beckett
    ...The World According to Samuel Beckett ... Samuel Beckett was a poet, critic, novelist, short fction writer, critic, translator, and dramatist who wrote both in French and English. Classes will focus on his dramatic work via three full length and four short plays. Plays will be considered in reverse chronological order. Beckett’s short plays (Catastrophe, Not I, Footfalls, Play) will be shown in their entirety during classes 1, 2, and 3. Since only excerpts from Happy Days, Endgame, and Waiting for Godot, can be shown (in classes 4, 5, and 6) students are encouraged to read those plays beforehand. The Complete Dramatic Works of Samuel Beckett is available both in paperback and on Kindle and full performances of his long plays are available on YouTube. Also recommended: James Knowlson’s biography of Samuel Beckett, Samuel Beckett: 1906 -1989 Damned to Fame, Bloomsbury, 2014 (available in paperback and on Kindle). Class 1: Introduction to Beckett’s life, works, aesthetics and the nature of his revolutionary drama. Since all of the plays viewed in class were converted from stage to flm the differences between the two genres will be noted and opposing views by flm director Anthony Minghella and reviewer Tom McGurk considered. Class will view Catastrophe, a six minute flm version of Beckett’s play. Directed by David Mamet with Harold Pinter and John Gielgud in leading roles, this brief but complex work is perfect for introducing Beckett’s stage, characters, and dramatic strategy. Catastrophe was written in 1982 in support of Czech dissident Vaclav Havel and political versus universal applications will be considered.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Black President in Film and Television
    “WELL, IT IS BECAUSE HE’S BLACK”: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BLACK PRESIDENT IN FILM AND TELEVISION Phillip Lamarr Cunningham A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Dr. Angela M. Nelson, Advisor Dr. Ashutosh Sohoni Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Butterworth Dr. Susana Peña Dr. Maisha Wester © 2011 Phillip Lamarr Cunningham All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Ph.D., Advisor With the election of the United States’ first black president Barack Obama, scholars have begun to examine the myriad of ways Obama has been represented in popular culture. However, before Obama’s election, a black American president had already appeared in popular culture, especially in comedic and sci-fi/disaster films and television series. Thus far, scholars have tread lightly on fictional black presidents in popular culture; however, those who have tend to suggest that these presidents—and the apparent unimportance of their race in these films—are evidence of the post-racial nature of these texts. However, this dissertation argues the contrary. This study’s contention is that, though the black president appears in films and televisions series in which his presidency is presented as evidence of a post-racial America, he actually fails to transcend race. Instead, these black cinematic presidents reaffirm race’s primacy in American culture through consistent portrayals and continued involvement in comedies and disasters. In order to support these assertions, this study first constructs a critical history of the fears of a black presidency, tracing those fears from this nation’s formative years to the present.

  • President: Franklin D. Roosevelt in Film
    The Evolving American Presidency Series Series Foreword: The American Presidency touches virtually every aspect of American and world politics. And the presidency has become, for better or worse, the vital center of the American and global political systems. The Framers of the American government would be dismayed at such a result. As invented at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention in 1787, the Presidency was to have been a part of a government with shared and overlapping powers, embedded within a separation-of-powers system. If there was a vital center, it was the Congress; the Presidency was to be a part, but by no means, the centerpiece of that system. Over time, the presidency has evolved and grown in power, expectations, responsi- bilities, and authority. Wars, crises, depressions, industrialization, all served to add to the power of the presidency. And as the United States grew into a world power, presidential power also grew. As the United States became the world’s leading super- power, the presidency rose in prominence and power, not only in the U.S., but on the world stage. It is the clash between the presidency as invented and the presidency as it has devel- oped that inspired this series. And it is the importance and power of the modern American presidency that makes understanding the office so vital. Like it or not, the American Presidency stands at the vortex of power both within the United States and across the globe. This Palgrave series recognizes that the Presidency is and has been an evolving institu- tion, going from the original constitutional design as a Chief Clerk, to today where the president is the center of the American political constellation.

  • Eva Le Gallienne Led a Private Life Troubled by Her Personal Struggle with Les- Bianism
    Harbin_Text.qxd 12/3/2004 12:50 PM Page 252 Laurents’s ability to direct is more often lauded than his writing. He regularly unites all elements of the production—music, voice, setting, movement, and picturization—to create vibrant dramatic moments. The understanding of structure and character honed in his writing assists in drawing out fully human characterizations. His ability to ‹nd new or Laurents underutilized talent—Jane Fonda in Invitation to a March, Lansbury in 252 Anyone Can Whistle, George Hearn in La Cage aux Folles—signi‹es an astute eye and ensures his lasting in›uence. A very sexual man—his ‹rst gay experience was at thirteen and he was more interested in quantity of partners than quality for many years— Laurents struggled with his homosexuality in psychotherapy, keeping it out of his play Heartsong (1946) and claiming that he would have excluded it as a subtext from Home of the Brave (Laurents, 65, 53). At the same time, he accepted his homosexuality and is proud of how “truth- fully” it was treated in his ‹rst movie, Rope (131). There are biographical aspects of his work to explore (particularly in The Enclave), as well as the- matic obsessions, such as the ‹gure of the complicated, boyish blond (i.e., the major in Home of the Brave, the disillusioned artist in Time of the Cuckoo, the characters played by Hatcher, and Robert Redford’s Hubbell in The Way We Were). Laurents has identi‹ed his own recurrent themes as discovery, acceptance, prejudice, and betrayal (4)—themes with which any homosexual can empathize.
