  • Romantic Comedy-A Critical and Creative Enactment 15Oct19
    Romantic comedy: a critical and creative enactment by Toni Leigh Jordan B.Sc., Dip. A. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University June, 2019 Table of Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgements iii Dedication iv Exegesis 1 Introduction 2 The Denier 15 Trysts and Turbulence 41 You’ve Got Influences 73 Conclusion 109 Works cited 112 Creative Artefact 123 Addition 124 Fall Girl 177 Our Tiny, Useless Hearts 259 Abstract For this thesis, I have written an exegetic complement to my published novels using innovative methodologies involving parody and fictocriticism to creatively engage with three iconic writers in order to explore issues of genre participation. Despite their different forms and eras, my subjects—the French playwright Molière (1622-1673), the English novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817), and the American screenwriter Nora Ephron (1941-2012)—arguably participate in the romantic comedy genre, and my analysis of their work seeks to reveal both genre mechanics and the nature of sociocultural evaluation. I suggest that Molière did indeed participate in the romantic comedy genre, and it is both gender politics and the high cultural prestige of his work (and the low cultural prestige of romantic comedy) that prevents this classification. I also suggest that popular interpretations of Austen’s work are driven by romanticised analysis (inseparable from popular culture), rather than the values implicit in the work, and that Ephron’s clever and conscious use of postmodern techniques is frequently overlooked. Further, my exegesis shows how parody provides a productive methodology for critically exploring genre, and an appropriate one, given that genre involves repetition—or parody—of conventions and their relationship to form.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT Jewish humor is a well-known, if ill-defined genre. The prevalence and success of Jewish comedians has been a point of pride for American Jews throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. What I undertake in this dissertation is to isolate one particular form of humor—namely satire—and use it as a way to analyze the changing relationship of American Jews to traditional religious forms. I look at the trends over three generations, the third generation (who came of age in the 40s and 50s), the Baby Boom generation (who came of age in the 60s and 70s) and the contemporary generation (who came of age in the 80s and 90s). When the satire produced by each generation is analyzed with the depiction of Judaism and Jewish practices in mind a certain pattern emerges. By then reading that pattern through Bill Brown’s Thing Theory it becomes possible to talk about the motivations for and effects of the change over time in a new way.
