(May 2011) Lindsay Alexandria Anderson, B.S., Texas A&M University; M.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Stjepan Mestrovic When discussing charity, it is important to recognize that charity and other forms of giving are not solely done out of altruism, but can also be done out of greed and self promotion. It is especially important to recognize when those in power or those who have fame participate in this form of giving, because their actions may be emulated by others. This self aggrandizing giving has been done historically throughout multiple cultures as a way to gain or keep prestige, and also as a way to keep the boundaries between the classes strong. This is an important idea because, as I argue, giving as a way to gain public recognition and to keep social boundaries in place is still occurring today. This form of giving is what I label Conspicuous Charity. This is giving in which the main focuses of the participation in charity are the public and social benefits (such as prestige and recognition) to the givers, whereas the assistance to those in need is but a secondary benefit. The conspicuous use of charity also can take a broader approach, which I label Conspicuous Giving. This form of giving is presently being used as a way to keep those with fame, such as media celebrities, in the limelight, those with high iv standing in the global hierarchy at the top, and those at the top of the racial hierarchy separated from those at the bottom. In order to flesh out the concept of Conspicuous Giving, other forms of giving are also discussed such as Christmas gifts, bribes, and feasting. These cultural events are discussed within the context of multiple cultures as ways to show that using giving in a predatory manner is not a phenomenon unique to Western or even American culture. However, I argue that when it comes to this behavior, Americans are at the forefront of this movement into postmodernity. v DEDICATION The following project is dedicated to my maternal grandmother, Jossie Vell McCuiston-Hankins, who believed in me long before I even knew what belief was. vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to give thanks to my committee of Dr. Sarah Gatson, Dr. Alex McIntosh, and Dr. Rogelio Saenz, who have put up with my stressed out emails, my urgent questions and my constant drama. I also want to thank Dr. Jane Sell, who even though not on my committee, always answered my questions and gave me greatly needed advice. However, my deeply neurotic moments were saved specifically for my Chair, Dr. Stjepan Mestrovic, who handled all the insanity I threw his way with graciousness, sarcasm, and message filled silences (depending on what was needed at the time); to him I give the most thanks. On a personal front I want to thank my parents and sister for supporting me in all ways needed; from emotional, physical, many times financial (graduate school is genteel poverty at best), even to caring for my dogs when I needed time to write without squeaky toys going off in the background. I also want to thank all of my closest and oldest friends, Alexis, Ann, Dee, Na, and Marlene, who have supported me throughout my entire academic career even when they thought I was crazy for doing so (can‘t truly disagree). Thanks are also in order for my friends who are in the graduate school trenches with me. There have been too many to name over the years, but they know who they are. Those who deserve special mention are Jen Guillen, Jocelyn Lewis, and Rosemary Neyin as they listened to my sleep-deprived rants on an almost daily basis. Once again, thank you all. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT .............................................................................................................. iii DEDICATION .......................................................................................................... v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ...................................................................................... vi TABLE OF CONTENTS .......................................................................................... vii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION ................................................................................ 1 II CELEBRITY CHARITY ..................................................................... 4 Historical Conspicuousness of Charity .......................................... 24 Noblesse Oblige ............................................................................. 31 Richesse Oblige: Robber Barons, Past and Present ....................... 33 Popularity Oblige: Celebrity Conspicuousness .............................. 47 Natural Catastrophes: The ―Use‖ of Hurricane Katrina ................. 58 Power of Celebrity ......................................................................... 72 III HIERARCHICAL CHARITY ............................................................. 78 Saving the Children?

It is especially important to recognize when those in power or those who have fame participate in this form of giving, because their actions may be emulated by others. This self aggrandizing giving has been done historically throughout multiple cultures as a way to gain or keep prestige, and also as a way to keep the boundaries between the classes strong. This is an important idea because, as I argue, giving as a way to gain public recognition and to keep social boundaries in place is still occurring today. This form of giving is what I label Conspicuous Charity1. This is giving in which the main focuses of the participation in charity are the public and social benefits (such as prestige and recognition) to the givers, whereas the assistance to those in need is but a secondary benefit. The conspicuous use of charity also can take a broader approach, which I label Conspicuous Giving2. This form of giving is presently being used as a way to keep those with fame, such as media celebrities, in the limelight, those with high standing in the global hierarchy at the top, and those at the top of the racial hierarchy separated from those at the bottom. This dissertation follows the style of American Sociological Review. 1 Term coined in Anderson, Lindsay. 2009. ―Conspicuous Charity.‖ pp.273-308 in Co-Opting Culture: Culture and Power in the Sociology and Cultural Studies edited by B. Garrick Harden and Robert Carley.

These cultural events are discussed within the context of multiple cultures as ways to show that using giving in a predatory manner is not a phenomenon unique to Western or even American culture. However, I argue that when it comes to this behavior, Americans are at the forefront of this movement into postmodernity. As the original idea of the study of conspicuousness can be attributed to Thorstein Veblen, other concepts of his are also discussed within this document, all of which along with Conspicuous Charity

  • The Multimodal Kitchen: Cookbooks As Women's Rhetorical Practice
    THE MULTIMODAL KITCHEN: COOKBOOKS AS WOMEN'S RHETORICAL PRACTICE Elizabeth J. Fleitz 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 2009 Committee: Sue Carter Wood, Advisor Allie L. Terry Graduate Faculty Representative Kristine L. Blair Richard C. Gebhardt Lucy L. Long ii ABSTRACT Sue Carter Wood, Advisor This study positions cookbooks and their associated discourse as rhetorical, relevant to the field and worthy of scholarly study. I argue that cookbooks are more than a simple collection of recipes; the ways in which the texts construct and are constructed by society establish their significance as rhetorical texts. As women have been historically silenced and prevented from using dominant communicative methods, they have needed to develop alternative practices. Naming cooking as a women’s discourse created out of these alternative practices, I argue this form of communication constructed for women and by women has a powerful rhetorical impact which establishes women as experts within their own (private) sphere. This discourse not only enables women to value their own existence but it also gives them a space in which to perform rhetoric, in effect constructing a feminist practice. This analysis is based on synthesis between Certeau’s concept of “making do” and multimodal practice, as I argue cookery discourse is inherently multimodal. I develop my argument exploring what I identify as the major modes used in the discourse: social, visual, and performative. As my project works to extend theories of multimodality, making the concept more widely applicable in rhetorical scholarship, it also furthers work begun by Bizzell, Glenn, and others concerning the limited representation of women in the rhetorical canon, and aids in the rewriting of rhetorical history as women’s stories continue to be added.

Ocinomled, Ltd. and Emeril’s Food of Love Productions, LLC _____ Concurrent Use Proceeding No. 94002242 _____ Robert E. Purcell of The Law Office of Robert E.

Opinion by Masiello, Administrative Trademark Judge: In this concurrent use proceeding involving restaurant services, we find that the plaintiff/applicant Southwestern Management, Inc.

Concurrent Use No. 94002242 Applicant applied to register the mark DELMONICO’S, in typed form, for “Restaurant services,” in International Class 43.1 When the application was published for opposition, Ocinomled, Ltd. (“OL”) and Emeril’s Food of Love Productions, LLC (“EFOL”) each filed a notice of opposition against registration of Applicant’s mark based on their respective uses of marks including the term DELMONICO’S or DELMONICO.2 (Each of OL and EFOL are referred to herein as a “Defendant,” and together they are the “Defendants.”) On December 27, 2006, Applicant filed, in the EFOL opposition, a motion to amend its application to seek a concurrent use registration and for the institution of a concurrent use proceeding.

Pajtek was reviewed and approved* by the following: Robert Schrauf Professor of Applied Linguistics Chair of Committee Head of the Linguistics Department Meredith Doran Project Associate, Center for Language Acquisition Dissertation Adviser Celeste Kinginger Professor of Applied Linguistics Matthew Jordan Assistant Professor of Media Studies Steve Thorne Associate Professor of World Languages and Literature Portland State University Special member *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines how language and culture are performed in a corpus of selected television cooking show discourse from Romania and the US. More specifically, this study offers a micro- and macro-level linguistic analysis of two television cooking shows from the US, 30 Minute Meals and The Essence of Emeril, and two from Romania, The Recipe from Home and I Eat Therefore I Am; both the US and the Romanian television corpus include one male and one female host. The US shows are among the most popular cooking programs on contemporary television, while the Romanian shows constitute the first food programs ever produced in Romanian. The present study is the first linguistic anthropological study that investigates how culture and stance-taking, or socio-culturally determined attitudes, are constituted in television cooking show discourse.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles American Food Culture
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles American Food Culture, the Language of Taste, and the Edible Image in Twentieth-Century Literature A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Stacie Cassarino 2014 © Copyright by Stacie Cassarino 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION American Food Culture, the Language of Taste, and the Edible Image in Twentieth-Century Literature by Stacie Cassarino Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Michael North, Chair In a study ranging from Futurist cookbooks to fast-food lyrics, this dissertation opens up new perspectives on modernist writing in relation to key developments in American food culture. It resituates popular culinary texts within a discourse of literary aesthetics and rereads literary texts as they reflect the conditions of alimentary production and consumption. Pairing chefs and poets — Julia Child & Gertrude Stein, Poppy Cannon & Frank O’Hara, Vertamae Smart-Grosvenor & Harryette Mullen — I show how a modernist fixation on the materiality of edible things, expressed through the language of food, became a way for American writers to respond to the culinary, political, and aesthetic tastes of a nation undergoing tremendous shifts: from an austere wartime sensibility of patriotic eating, to the postwar excess of culinary cosmopolitanism, and finally, to racially inflected supermarket pastorals in the second half of the century. My research engages an i interdisciplinary cross-section of literary and visual forms, drawing on culinary history, art theory, cultural anthropology, race and gender studies, eco-criticism, and food studies, while remaining invested in literary analysis, to illuminate the correlating aesthetic economies of foodstuff and language, and to rethink the collision of popular culture and high art.
