  • In 193X, Constance Rourke's Book American Humor Was Reviewed In
    OUR LIVELY ARTS: AMERICAN CULTURE AS THEATRICAL CULTURE, 1922-1931 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Schlueter, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait, Adviser Professor Lesley Ferris Adviser Associate Professor Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Schlueter c. 2007 ABSTRACT In the first decades of the twentieth century, critics like H.L. Mencken and Van Wyck Brooks vociferously expounded a deep and profound disenchantment with American art and culture. At a time when American popular entertainments were expanding exponentially, and at a time when European high modernism was in full flower, American culture appeared to these critics to be at best a quagmire of philistinism and at worst an oxymoron. Today there is still general agreement that American arts “came of age” or “arrived” in the 1920s, thanks in part to this flogging criticism, but also because of the powerful influence of European modernism. Yet, this assessment was not, at the time, unanimous, and its conclusions should not, I argue, be taken as foregone. In this dissertation, I present crucial case studies of Constance Rourke (1885-1941) and Gilbert Seldes (1893-1970), two astute but understudied cultural critics who saw the same popular culture denigrated by Brooks or Mencken as vibrant evidence of exactly the modern American culture they were seeking. In their writings of the 1920s and 1930s, Rourke and Seldes argued that our “lively arts” (Seldes’ formulation) of performance—vaudeville, minstrelsy, burlesque, jazz, radio, and film—contained both the roots of our own unique culture as well as the seeds of a burgeoning modernism.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

    Humanities Seminars Program Forgotten Stars of Vaudeville 1900 - 1955 July 2017 Thursdays 9 -11 am Regents Professor David Soren School of Anthropology, Department of Religious Studies and Classics [email protected] Recommended Texts: Trav S.D. No Applause—Just Throw Money. Faber & Faber, 2006. ISBN-10: 0865479585. ISBN-13: 978-0865479586 Soren, David. Vera-Ellen. Midnight Marquee Press, 2009. ISBN-13: 978-1887664813 This course will trace the roots of vaudeville from its presumed origins in France and England through its early years in America, developing from riverboat mini-plays of the type shown in plays and films such as Showboat (1936), minstrel shows such as those created by Big Daddy Rice, Honeyboy Evas and Lou Dockstader. Emphasis will also be placed on precursors such as Dime Shows, Chatauqua and the circus. Outstanding but forgotten performers of the golden age of vaudeville (1880-1925) will be highlighted including such geniuses of the entertainment world as Joe Cook who was known as a one- man show (singing, dancing, comedy, acrobatics, juggling, high-wire walking and ore) and whose clown assistant Dave Chasen became the owner of a famous Hollywood restaurant. You will see never before seen footage of Fred Stone, whose 1900 performance as the scarecrow in the original play of The Wizard of Oz became the model for Ray Bolger in the 1939 movie version of Frank Baum’s story. We will trace the evolution of vaudeville into film through the artistry of such visionaries as Busby Berkeley and the unsung pioneer of the movie musical John Murray Anderson who transformed how we view musicals on film in his 1930 King of Jazz.

  • Why Not Education
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Limerick Institutional Repository The ‘teenage dad’ and ‘slum mums’ are just ‘certain people I know’: Counter hegemonic representations of the working / under class in the works of Morrissey. Martin Power Introduction: The “understandable preoccupation” with Morrissey’s sexuality has seen “other forms of social identity” which inform his body of work, particularly social class, being neglected to a certain extent (Coulter 2010:160). In this chapter I examine Morrissey’s representation of the working / underclass in an era where neo-liberalism and the ideology of personal responsibility have obtained a global hegemonic or dominant position. My particular interest in Morrissey’s creative work lies in wider sociological debates around the continuing relevance and representations of social class. This chapter will document how Morrissey has continuously dealt with the “hidden injuries of class” that characterise contemporary society (Coulter 2005:6). Ultimately, the chapter will demonstrate that Morrissey’s work presents a counter narrative / alternative lens with which to critically examine the hegemonic neo-liberal view of the working / underclass. The fragmentation of class structure, neo-liberalism & the emergence of class disgust: The ‘death of class’ debate (Pakulski & Waters 1996) occurred in conjunction with the emergence of a political rhetoric of inclusion, meritocracy, and social mobility, with terms like social exclusion and underclass replacing discussions centred on the working-class (Skeggs 2005:47 cited in Tyler 2008:20). This change occurred at a time when there was grave concern about the escalating polarization caused as a result of the “crisis of Keynesian economics”, and the ensuing “neoliberal reordering of public policy” (Hayward & Yar 2006:10).

  • Representations of Disability in the Music and Persona of Morrissey
    "IN OUR DIFFERENT WAYS WE ARE THE SAME": REPRESENTATIONS OF DISABILITY IN THE MUSIC AND PERSONA OF MORRISSEY Daniel Manco A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2009 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2009 Daniel Manco All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disability studies, an interdisciplinary field of relatively recent provenance but growing prominence, investigates the social, political, economic, and cultural factors that contribute to definitions of disability as they emerge within specific but ever-shifting historical contexts. Cultural disability studies, a lively subfield, takes particular interest in the role that representations of disability across a variety of media play in shaping both individual and collective (architectural, attitudinal, educational, legal, and occupational) responses to the needs of disabled persons. Despite its centrality to human expression, however, music in general, and popular music specifically, have seldom attracted the attention of cultural disability studies scholars. This thesis seeks to help redress this omission in the cultural disability studies literature by examining representations of disability in the music and persona of Morrissey, singer and lyricist for the seminal 1980s indie rock group The Smiths and, in the two decades since their break-up, a successful solo artist in his own right. Borrowing concepts from music theory and psychoanalysis, I first consider the ways in which the paralinguistic elements of Morrissey’s music, and the discourse that has surrounded it, can be understood as representing disability and articulating a host of attitudes thereto.
