    Saints, Seers, and Sorceresses: Femininity and the Spiritual Supernatural in Contemporary U.S. Film and Television by Megan E. Biddinger A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Susan J. Douglas, Chair Professor Gerald P. Scannell Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Megan E. Biddinger 2012 To My Family, With Love and Gratitude ii Acknowledgments Of all of the many things I have to be grateful for right now, the opportunity to take this space to thank the many, many people who have helped me through this process is at the top of the list. For years, I have kept a running list of people who have made me a better scholar and a better human being. At times when this process has been difficult, that list and the act of adding to it have served as powerful reminders of my good fortune. Looking at that list now I see an embarrassment of human riches. I am so grateful for the vast amounts and many kinds of support, encouragement, intellectual stimulation, camaraderie, and love I have received. I want to first thank my advisor and my committee without whom this project would have been impossible. First, I was incredibly fortunate to have Susan Douglas as an advisor and chair. She has been patient but persistent with me from the very beginning and my work is so much the better for learning from her. Her work inspired me to pursue my own investigations into gender, media, and culture and it has been an honor to be her student.

    AND DIGITALPLAYBILL PRESENT A HUNDRED WORDS FOR BYSNOW TATTY HENNESSY STREAMING • APRIL 13 – MAY 2, 2021 SPONSORED BY KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING ONLINE WITH THE HASHTAG # toSNOW AND NOTE FROM MATT & GRETCHEN FRIENDS, Welcome to the second digital show of our Spring season! This production is the Atlanta premiere of the work of Tatty Hennessy - an exceptional British playwright who also develops scripts for film and television and is a hugely talented director and dramaturg. Tatty has a wonderfully original voice that combines humor with deep questions about the world, and a cinematic sense of language that ignites the imagination and brings audiences on extraordinary journeys. First produced at the Arcola Theatre in London as part of their Vault Festival, A Hundred Words for Snow was a smash hit that was immediately booked for a national tour of the UK and ended up with a hugely successful run at Trafalgar Studios in the West End. The play tells the story of Rory, a fifteen-year-old girl who is reeling with grief from the sudden death of her dad - a geography teacher who was obsessed with great tales of Arctic explorers who battled the elements in pursuit of new discoveries. To cope with her grief, Rory takes her dad’s ashes, and the audience, on an amazing adventure to the North Pole. Over the course of the play, she learns a lot about herself and her relationship with her family, about human beings and our place in nature, about the history and geography that formed this impossible landscape, and ultimately about grief and healing.
