All rights reserved iii ABSTRACT Flipping the Script: Gabriela Silang’s Legacy through Stagecraft is a chronicle of the scriptwriting and staging process for Bannuar, a historical adaptation about the life of Gabriela Silang (1731-1763) produced by Dominican University of California’s (DUC) Filipino student club (Kapamilya) for their annual Pilipino Cultural Night (PCN). The 9th annual show was scheduled for April 5, 2020. Due to the limitations of stagecraft, implications of COVID-19, and shelter-in-place orders, the scriptwriters made executive decisions on what to omit or adapt to create a well-rounded script.

  • Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Feminist Politics of Offence
    KATRIN HORN “PERIOD SEX”: CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND AND FEMINIST POLITICS OF OFFENCE When cartoon versions of the supporting cast call the main character of The CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015–) exactly that – a crazy ex-girlfriend – in the opening credits of season one, the offended Rebecca Bunch (played by co-creator Rachel Bloom) vehemently protests: “the situation is a lot more nuanced than that!” TV critics mostly agree, calling the show “witty, well-acted, brazenly inventive, and a pleasure to watch” (Bastién 2017) or simply “The Best Show on TV [...] that demonstrates the near-total creative freedom of TV’s latest evolutionary period better than any other” (Zoller Seitz 2016). A Slate-review that proclaims it “one of the most critically acclaimed programs on broadcast television,” however, also notes that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (CXG) is not “among the lowest [rated], but consistently in the absolute last spot, almost as if it’s trying to make a point” (Wilson 2018). Headlines like “4 reasons why ‘Crazy Ex- Girlfriend’ is the best show you’re not watching (Fitzpatrick 2015) are therefore a staple of the show’s critical reception. The explanation usually given – “Hate the title? Us too […]” (Pandell 2016) – is that show’s title, “a sexist term,” as the credit sequence acknowledges, is so offensive it repels most potential viewers. The embrace of offensiveness in the “Subversive Show with the Terrible Name” (Lenker 2016), however, does not stop there. It instead extents to narrative as well as aesthetic levels. As such, the title is not so much ‘terrible’ as it is telling: it proclaims the show’s reliance on offence, which is used – this article argues – as a tool of feminist critique of contemporary modes of representation of women, romance, and mental illness.

    APENAS UMA GAROTA APAIXONADA Crazy ex-girlfriend, musical, paródia e comédia romântica RESUMO CAROLINA AMARAL Aliando um assunto típico da comédia romântica – a ex-namorada que DOUTORA E MESTRE PELO PPGCOM-UFF tenta reconquistar uma paixão antiga de adolescência – a números musicais de canções originais, Crazy ex-girlfriend (2015-2019) consegue, a partir de clichês e pastiche, criar novos caminhos para esses dois PALAVRAS-CHAVE gênero no cinema. O artigo investiga como as convenções de comédia CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND romântica e de musical são usados pela série para narrar temas pouco MUSICAL abordados nos gêneros, como a doença mental. COMÉDIA ROMÂNTICA . JORNADA INTERDISCIPLINAR DE SOM E MÚSICA NO AUDIOVISUAL, RIO DE JANEIRO, 2018. 3ª EDIÇÃO, P.184-201, III JORNADA INTERDISCIPLINAR DE SOM E MÚSICA NO AUDIOVISUAL INTRODUÇÃO O musical é um dos gêneros cinematográficos menos polêmicos em ter- mos de definição: em meio à narrativa de ficção observamos os números musicais – que como o próprio nome já diz, são seriais – em sequência e costumam dissipar quaisquer dúvidas quanto ao gênero. Porém, mais que apresentar momentos de espetáculo, ao longo da história, os mu- sicais dão uma importância à música (melodia, arranjo, interpretação e letra) completamente especial. Os números oferecem uma organização outra dos corpos e espaços na imagem e no som, e se integrados à nar- rativa, costumam estar associados às personagens, à história, tendo sua localização quase sempre em momentos-chave para o acompanhamento da trama. Longe de simplesmente providenciar uma alternativa ao silêncio – música como pano de fundo como em outros filmes de Hollywood – a música (assim como a dança) entra no processo de significação ao mesmo tempo em que mostra alegria pessoal e coletiva; expressando o triunfo romântico sobre as limitações da natureza, do tempo, da sociedade, e da economia, a música se torna o signi- ficantepar excellence do valor do casal e da corte.

    O masculino complexo em Crazy Ex-Girlfriend : uma análise do personagem Greg Serrano 78 Nayara Helou Chubaci Güércio 79 Victor Lemes Cruzeiro 80 Universidade de Brasília Resumo: A série televisiva estadunidense Crazy Ex-Girlfriend traz em seu elenco a protagonista Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom) e o personagem Greg Solano (Santino Fontana) que deveria representar o boy(friend) trope , mas mostra-se, na verdade, como um personagem complexo. Nos utilizamos do manual de análise crítica de filmes de John Lewis (2012) como método de trabalho. Foram conjugadas duas categorias de análise: (1) auto-afirmação; (2) vulnerabilidade em diferentes fragmentos da série. Conclui-se que o personagem Greg apresenta desde atitudes auto-destrutivas à grandes demonstrações de sensibilidade e afeto. Palavras-chave: Masculinidades. Série de televisão. Tropes . Introdução A série estadunidense de “dramédia” 81 musical Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015), apesar de seu título aparentemente estereotipado e anti-feminista, é um desmantelamento dos conhecidos arquétipos das narrativas propostas por comédias românticas, musicais e produtos de cultura pop. A série traz em seu elenco a protagonista Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom) 82 e o personagem Greg Serrano (Santino Fontana) que, supostamente — segundo o modelo narrativo de comédias românticas — seria o boy(friend) trope 83 , ou seja, o par romântico “bom moço” da protagonista, que começaria como o melhor amigo rejeitado e terminaria como seu verdadeiro amor 84 . 78 Trabalho apresentado ao II SEJA – Gênero e Sexualidade no Audiovisual realizado de 22 a 24 de novembro de 2017, na UEG Goiânia Câmpus Laranjeiras. 79 Mestra em Comunicação, linha “imagem, som e escrita”, pela Universidade de Brasília (UnB).
