    Animating Race the Production and Ascription of Asian-Ness in the Animation of Avatar: the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra

    Animating Race The Production and Ascription of Asian-ness in the Animation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra Francis M. Agnoli Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies April 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract How and by what means is race ascribed to an animated body? My thesis addresses this question by reconstructing the production narratives around the Nickelodeon television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-08) and its sequel The Legend of Korra (2012-14). Through original and preexisting interviews, I determine how the ascription of race occurs at every stage of production. To do so, I triangulate theories related to race as a social construct, using a definition composed by sociologists Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer; re-presentations of the body in animation, drawing upon art historian Nicholas Mirzoeff’s concept of the bodyscape; and the cinematic voice as described by film scholars Rick Altman, Mary Ann Doane, Michel Chion, and Gianluca Sergi. Even production processes not directly related to character design, animation, or performance contribute to the ascription of race. Therefore, this thesis also references writings on culture, such as those on cultural appropriation, cultural flow/traffic, and transculturation; fantasy, an impulse to break away from mimesis; and realist animation conventions, which relates to Paul Wells’ concept of hyper-realism.

  • Transnational Legitimization of an Actor: the Life and Career of Soon-Tek Oh1

    Transnational Legitimization of an Actor: the Life and Career of Soon-Tek Oh1

    Transnational Legitimization of an Actor: The Life and Career of Soon-Tek Oh1 ESTHER KIM LEE He is the voice of the father in the Disney animation film Mulan (1998). He is Sensei in the Hollywood hit film Beverly Hills Ninja (1997). He is Lieutenant Hip in the 007 film The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). These examples may trigger memories of Soon-Tek Oh in the minds of many Americans.2 Some would vaguely remember him as the “oriental” actor whose face often gets confused with those of other Asian and Asian American actors, such as Mako and James Hong. Theatre aficionados may remember him for his award-winning role in Stephen Sondheim’s musical Pacific Overtures in the 1970s, but more Americans will know him as the quintessential “oriental” man in Hollywood. This is not the legacy Soon-Tek Oh wanted. He would prefer to be remembered as an artist, an actor who played Hamlet, Romeo, and Osvald Alving; who founded theatre companies; who promoted cultural awareness for Korean Americans; and who taught youths with all of his integ- rity. He wanted to be a “great actor,” who transcended all markings, especially racial ones, and who was recognized for his talent as an artist. He has sought what I describe in this essay as “legitimization” as a respected actor at every crucial point in his life.3 Soon-Tek Oh was the first Korean actor to appear in American mainstream theatre, film, or television.4 He left Korea for Hollywood in 1959 as a young man, seeking to learn the craft of filmmaking.

    Metadrama and the Deconstruction of Stereotypes: David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly and Bondage Haris Abdulwahab Fayez Noureldin

    Metadrama and the Deconstruction of Stereotypes: David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly and Bondage Haris Abdulwahab Fayez Noureldin* Song: I'm an artist, Rene. You were my greatest . acting challenge. (She laughs.) (M. Butterfly 63)1 Song: But no. Men. You're like the rest of them. It's all in the way we dress, and make up our faces and bat our eyelashes. You really have so little imagination! (M. Butterfly 90) Representations of Asians in America have always been influenced by biased stereotypical images. According to James S. Moy, "Anglo-American playwrights have portrayed the Chinese in America as collections of fetishized parts and as exotics" (48). Though there were other attempts seemingly providing positive images of the East as 'wise' in contrast with the West as 'corrupt', these attempts -Eugene O'Neill's Marco Millions is a striking example- could do little more than present the East as 'exotic' and 'heathen'. With the rise of Asian-American studies in the 1960s, there appeared Asian writers, Chinese and Japanese, whose end goal was to dispel such stereotypes and present instead conscious self-representation. Notable among these is the Chinese-American playwright, David Henry Hwang (1957-), whose plays provide insightful explorations of how it feels to be Chinese or Asian in a racist society. Regarded as "the most renowned Asian-American dramatist of the twentieth century" (Trudeau 199), Hwang distinguishes himself as a dramatist by blending Eastern and Western subjects and theatrical styles. The theme of the fluidity of identity is recurrent in almost all his plays. Hwang posits the changeability of a person's identity according to the various contacts s/he experiences.

  • Contemporary Asian American Drama Esther Kim Lee

    2 3 Contemporary Asian American Drama Esther Kim Lee Introduction: The First Wave In 1968, the East West Players in Los Angeles held its fi rst playwriting competi- tion to encourage Asian Americans to write for theater. Founded in 1965, the East West Players originally aimed to promote the careers of Asian American actors, but it became clear that without original plays by and about Asian Americans the company would not last.1 In the 1960s, playwriting was not per- ceived as a possible profession for Asian American writers, and Asian American plays were virtually nonexistent. Plays, by defi nition, need to be produced and staged, and playwrights must work within an infrastructure and industry of theater. The East West Players’ playwriting competition lasted three years during which playwrights such as Momoko Iko and Frank Chin made their debut in theater. In 1973, Frank Chin led the founding of the Asian American Theatre Workshop (later renamed Asian American Theatre Company) in San Francisco with the explicit agenda to create and produce Asian American plays. Although Chin left the company in a few years, his infl uence as a play- wright has been lasting in Asian American theater. His two published plays, Chickencoop Chinaman (1972) and The Year of the Dragon (1974), are considered foundational in Asian American drama, and the Asian American Theatre Company has continued to support new Asian American playwrights. 2 Frank Chin belongs to the fi rst wave Asian American playwrights who pio- neered Asian American drama. Also in the fi rst wave are Jon Shirota, Momoko Iko, Dom Magwili, Wakako Yamauchi, Karen Tei Yamashita, Perry Miyake, Bill Shinkai, Paul Stephen Lim, Jeff ery Paul Chan, Garrett Hongo, and Edward Sakamoto.
