Neville Hoad gave me a crash course in critical theory on gender; James Loehlin offered great feedback on the overall structure of the study; and Alan Friedman’s meticulous editing improved my writing immeasurably. I am lucky to have had the opportunity to study with Charles Ramírez Berg, who is as great a teacher and person as he is a scholar. He played a crucial role in shaping the chapters on John Ford and my overall understanding of film narrative, representation, and genre. By the same token, I am fortunate to have worked with Elizabeth Cullingford, who has been a great mentor. Her humility, wit, and generosity, as well as her brilliance and tenacity, have been a continual source of inspiration.

  • History of Barbershop
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP By David Krause and David Wright Definition of barbershop harmony. Read: Definition of Barbershop Harmony, from the Forward of the Contest and Judging Handbook. The Purpose Of This Course. We will attempt to trace the roots and the evolution of barbershop harmony from well before its actual beginnings up to the present. We will try to answer these questions: What were the tides of history which spawned the birth of the barbershop quartet, and what environment allowed this style of music to flourish? What were its musical forerunners? What are its defining characteristics? What other types of music were fostered contemporaneously, and how did they influence the growth of quartet singing? Which styles are similar, and how are they similar? How did the term "barbershop" arise? How long did the historical era of the barbershop quartet last? What other kinds of music sprang forth from it? Why did the style eventually need preservation? How was SPEBSQSA formed, and how did it become a national movement? What other organizations have joined the cause? How have they coped with the task of preservation? Are current day efforts still on course in preserving the style? How has the style changed since the Society was formed? We will spend the next few hours contemplating and attempting to answer these questions. Overtones. As barbershoppers, we are very conscious of the "ringing" effect which complements our singing. We consider it our reward for singing well- defined pitches in tune. The fact that a tone produced by a voice or an instrument is accompanied by a whole series of pitches in addition to the fundamental one which our ear most easily detects has been known for centuries.

MUTUAL AESTHETICS VISUAL STYLE IN THE FILMS OF F.W. MURNAU AND JOHN FORD, 1928-1941 By Joseph D. Sherry An Honors Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for Honors In The Film Studies Program The School of Arts and Sciences Rhode Island College 2016 Sherry 1 Introduction F.W. Murnau wrote, “All great arts have had great artists born to understand them as no other men can, and the motion picture is the single art expression of our age.”1 Murnau made this remark shortly after his masterpiece, Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927), was released by Fox Film Corporation. Sunrise’s production riveted the entire studio lot due to its scope and Murnau’s international reputation; its subsequent critical success solidified Murnau’s place in Fox’s top-tier of directors. But John Ford, also one of Fox’s top-tier directors, once brusquely remarked, “It’s no use talking to me about art .
