    Samoan Submission Machines: Grappling with Representations of Samoan Identity in Professional Wrestling Theo Plothe1 Savannah State University [email protected] Amongst the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. The discussion of Samoan identity in the context of sport has examined Maori identity and masculinity in New Zealand, among other topics, but there has yet to be work which considers Samoans within professional wrestling. This research investigates Samoan identity through a content analysis of televised wrestling matches. This research identifies six primary stereotypes under which Samoan identity is portrayed. These portrayals of Samoan characters, I argue, flatten the representation of this ethnic group within wrestling and culture at large. Keywords: Samoans, identity, representation, gimmicks Introduction Among the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. This research investigates the identity of Samoans within professional wrestling, and the different ways they are constructed and presented to audiences. “Gimmicks,” characters portrayed by a wrestler “resulting in the sum of fictional elements, attire and wrestling ability” (Oliva and Calleja 3) utilized by Samoans have run the gamut from the wild uncivilized savage, to the sumo (both in villainous Japanese and comically absurd iterations), to the ultra-cool mogul who wears silk shirts and fancy shoes. Their ability to cut promos, an important facet of the modern gimmick allowing wrestlers to address their opponents and storylines, varies widely as well, but all lie within their Samoan identity.

  • Evil Returns to Howl-O-Scream at Seaworld San Antonio with Five Haunted Houses & Six Terror-Tories™, Howl-O-Scream® Offers the Most Scares in Texas for One Price
    News Media Contact: Lindsey Campbell 210-523-3638 [email protected] Download photo assets here Evil Returns to Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld San Antonio With five haunted houses & six terror-tories™, Howl-O-Scream® offers the most scares in Texas for one price SAN ANTONIO (August 16, 2016) — This fall, for 15 select nights, no soul is safe from SeaWorld® San Antonio’s Howl-O-Scream. San Antonio’s premier Halloween event features more than 30 acres of tormenting surprises and unexpected terrors around every corner, with three new terror-tories™ and a brand new haunted house featuring a bone-chilling backstory and a disturbing cast of demon dolls. This year’s theme, Evil Encore, is inspired by childhood toys gone horribly wrong as a troupe of demon dolls take on a life of their own. Once the charming creations of “Mr. Karver,” the dolls of Karver’s Kradle have developed an insatiable hunger for souls. Now these dolls are on the prowl. Citizens are urged to be on the lookout for Alfred, one of Mr. Karver’s most sinister dolls, who we fear will soon be out and about in San Antonio wreaking Halloween havoc. San Antonians are encouraged to be alert and help track Alfred’s whereabouts at #HowlOScreamTX and on Facebook, HowlOScreamSATX. Helping to find Alfred and getting him back to Karver’s Kradle will have its rewards. Howl-O-Scream’s Kreeptails Howl-O-Scream returns Friday, Sept. 30 for select nights through Sunday, Oct. 30. While SeaWorld opens at 10 a.m. for Halloween fun for the little ones, the frightmosphere of Howl-O-Scream kicks off at 7 p.m.

  • The Ethics of Eating Animals in Tudor and Stuart Theaters
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: THE ETHICS OF EATING ANIMALS IN TUDOR AND STUART THEATERS Rob Wakeman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professors Theresa Coletti and Theodore B. Leinwand Department of English, University of Maryland A pressing challenge for the study of animal ethics in early modern literature is the very breadth of the category “animal,” which occludes the distinct ecological and economic roles of different species. Understanding the significance of deer to a hunter as distinct from the meaning of swine for a London pork vendor requires a historical investigation into humans’ ecological and cultural relationships with individual animals. For the constituents of England’s agricultural networks – shepherds, butchers, fishwives, eaters at tables high and low – animals matter differently. While recent scholarship on food and animal ethics often emphasizes ecological reciprocation, I insist that this mutualism is always out of balance, both across and within species lines. Focusing on drama by William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and the anonymous authors of late medieval biblical plays, my research investigates how sixteenth-century theaters use food animals to mediate and negotiate the complexities of a changing meat economy. On the English stage, playwrights use food animals to impress the ethico-political implications of land enclosure, forest emparkment, the search for new fisheries, and air and water pollution from urban slaughterhouses and markets. Concurrent developments in animal husbandry and theatrical production in the period thus led to new ideas about emplacement, embodiment, and the ethics of interspecies interdependence. THE ETHICS OF EATING ANIMALS IN TUDOR AND STUART THEATERS by Rob Wakeman Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Advisory Committee: Professor Theresa Coletti, Co-Chair Professor Theodore B.
