Message from the dean he alumni and friends of the School of Communication are well aware of the dramatic Tchanges in our faculty and programs that have emerged over the past decade. Most of these developments have been very well received, and the faculty and I are so appreciative of the many encouraging messages from our community as new initiatives have become realities. One of the most exciting changes has been the rebuilding of the Department of Radio/ Television/Film. Under the superb leadership of its three most recent chairs — Professors Mimi White, Lynn Spigel, and David Tolchinsky — this department has become one of Northwestern’s crown jewels. White and Spigel reconceived the department’s doctoral program as an exciting new interdisciplinary program focused on screen cultures. Tolchinsky has strengthened the undergraduate program in creative writing for the media and has built a groundbreaking new MFA program in writing for the screen and stage. The department has attracted a large cadre of outstanding new faculty — diverse, international, and interdisciplinary — who are rethinking the curriculum and how we can best nurture outstanding media artists and expert historians and analysts of the media. You will see many of them featured in this issue of Dialogue, where one of our two feature stories provides an update on the many exciting changes in radio/television/film. Through all these changes, however, the department has continued to value and build on its com- petitive advantage: its success in educating students who are broadly informed, agile in adapting to new technologies, able to collaborate effectively, and above all, potential leaders in their work. I think you will be proud to see how the department is honoring its traditions while developing state-of-the-art programs for the 21st century. Across the school, our faculty have also been inspired by our new president’s call to make North- western not simply a great university but also a great neighbor. A new initiative in the Roxelyn and Richard Pepper Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders perfectly exemplifies the role that a great university can play in improving the lives of the community it serves. The department’s faculty, students, and clinicians have organized a special outreach program to area day care centers to provide speech and language therapy in areas that have great unmet needs. This issue’s second feature article covers this important new initiative. Our faculty are working on many other exciting new ventures — more than we can possibly cover in our two issues of Dialogue each year. So I hope you will take the time to visit our website, www.communication.northwestern.edu. It provides ongoing updates on new programs and initiatives as well as media-rich features on the work of our faculty and students. Your support and feedback can and do make a difference as we seek to advance the school, so I hope you will continue to stay engaged and share your ideas and perspectives. Barbara J.

  • The American Film Musical and the Place(Less)Ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’S “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis
    humanities Article The American Film Musical and the Place(less)ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’s “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis Florian Zitzelsberger English and American Literary Studies, Universität Passau, 94032 Passau, Germany; fl[email protected] Received: 20 March 2019; Accepted: 14 May 2019; Published: 19 May 2019 Abstract: This article looks at cosmopolitanism in the American film musical through the lens of the genre’s self-reflexivity. By incorporating musical numbers into its narrative, the musical mirrors the entertainment industry mise en abyme, and establishes an intrinsic link to America through the act of (cultural) performance. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the chronotope and its recent application to the genre of the musical, I read the implicitly spatial backstage/stage duality overlaying narrative and number—the musical’s dual registers—as a means of challenging representations of Americanness, nationhood, and belonging. The incongruities arising from the segmentation into dual registers, realms complying with their own rules, destabilize the narrative structure of the musical and, as such, put the semantic differences between narrative and number into critical focus. A close reading of the 1972 film Cabaret, whose narrative is set in 1931 Berlin, shows that the cosmopolitanism of the American film musical lies in this juxtaposition of non-American and American (at least connotatively) spaces and the self-reflexive interweaving of their associated registers and narrative levels. If metalepsis designates the transgression of (onto)logically separate syntactic units of film, then it also symbolically constitutes a transgression and rejection of national boundaries. In the case of Cabaret, such incongruities and transgressions eventually undermine the notion of a stable American identity, exposing the American Dream as an illusion produced by the inherent heteronormativity of the entertainment industry.

    CHAPTER 11.19 ART Garth Evans But, Hands Have Eyes: Six decades of sculpture Until 26.01.20 ‘But, Hands Have Eyes’ is a solo exhibition featuring six decades of sculpture. Alongside works produced in the UK in the 1960s and 70s, Evans also presents a body of work for their UK premiere, that he has produced in the United States since his move there in 1981. The work of Garth Evans is integral to the history of British sculpture. Experimenting with the potential of scale, weight, medium and form, Evans’ work comprises both a formal and conceptual approach. He is always interested in interrogating established boundaries and, as a result, his sculptures are made from a diverse range of materials including ceramics, steel, leather and fibreglass. Evans states that many of his works, even when most abstract, are “triggers for, and containers of, particular identifiable memories”. Ultimately, Garth Evans’ works are ambiguous, multi-faceted and completely original. Talks at 4 16.11.19 FREE Are you interested in finding out a little bit more about our latest exhibition? Then why not join us for a free and informal guided tour! Our ‘Talks at 4’ are led by our wonderful gallery assistants and are a great way to delve a little deeper into our current exhibition by Garth Evans and his approach to his work. No two talks are the same so come along and be a part of the conversation. Art in the Bar Jon Pountney Waiting For The Light Until 14.02.20 ‘Waiting for the Light’ is a body of photographic works that capture a particular type of light; a harsh, acutely angled low sunlight that gives the scenes in Jon Pountney’s images a somewhat surreal and melancholy feel.

  • The Origin of Love Tour Songs and Stories of Hedwig with Special Guest Amber Martin Featuring the Songs of Hedwig by Stephen Trask Produced by Arktype
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAP UCLA presents John Cameron Mitchell The Origin Of Love Tour Songs and Stories of Hedwig With special guest Amber Martin Featuring the songs of Hedwig by Stephen Trask Produced by ArKtype April 11 at The Theatre at Ace Hotel, DTLA “The Origin of Love [is] a punk-rock live behind the music episode of sorts and a gift to Hedwig heads everywhere.” — DC Theatre Scene UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA) presents John Cameron Mitchell’s The Origin Of Love Tour on Saturday, April 11, at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Downtown LA. Tickets starting at $28 are available now at cap.ucla.edu, 310-825-2101 and the Royce Hall box office. The Origin of Love Tour investigates Hedwig and The Angry Inch’s origins following 25- years of worldwide influence as one of alt-culture’s most beloved and enduring creations, and John Cameron Mitchell’s ideas and relationships to show business. In addition to songs from the gender-bending rock musical that opened off-Broadway in 1998, released as an acclaimed film in 2001, won the Tony Award for best musical revival in 2014, and has spawned legions of adoring “Hed-Head’s” worldwide, the audience will learn about Mitchell’s rebellion against Broadway tropes, meeting songwriter Trask and his beloved bandmember Jack who became his boyfriend, growing up queer in a military family, Platonic and Gnostic Christian philosophy and its connection to non- binary gender expression, and the influence of Lou Reed and David Bowie. Mitchell also performs songs from his podcast series Anthem: Homunculus and his last film, the punk-era How to Talk to Girls at Parties, as well as his recent acclaimed EP of Lou Reed covers with Eyelids and Peter Buck entitled “Turning Time Around.” New York Vocalist, Cabaret Star and Comedic Monologist Amber Martin joins Mitchell along with very special guests in this rousing performance.

  • Representations of Retail Work in Popula
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School BEHIND THE COUNTER AND ON SCREEN: REPRESENTATIONS OF RETAIL WORK IN POPULAR MEDIA A Dissertation in American Studies by Brittany R. Clark © 2021 Brittany R. Clark Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2021 The dissertation of Brittany Clark was received and approved by the following: Charles J.D. Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies, School of Humanities Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee John R. Haddad Professor of American Studies, School of Humanities Mary Zaborskis Assistant Professor of American Studies, School of Humanities Ozge Aybat Associate Professor Marketing, School of Business Administration Anne Verplanck Associate Professor of American Studies, School of Humanities Program Chair ii ABSTRACT The retail trade has undergone tremendous changes over the course of the 20th century in the United States. In the early part of the century the job was somewhat skilled, and seen as a legitimate career for adults to hold. Today the job has been deskilled and mechanized, and retail workers struggle with low pay and lack of concrete benefits. Media narratives have followed these changes. This dissertation seeks to examine these changes and explore the ways in which retail workers have been presented in popular media. It will largely rely on close-readings of a variety of texts including films, television shows, advertisements, and internet memes. These texts were chosen because of their prominence in society during the time periods being examined. Additionally, it uses frameworks which incorporate class and gender in the examination of these texts. In the early 20th century, the department store was the setting of many major films, spanning from the silent era to about the early 1940s.
