It has been accepted for inclusion in Communication Dissertations by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. NARRATIVE CHANGE IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING: AUDIENCE ADDRESS AND CREATIVE AUTHORITY IN THE ERA OF SMART FANS by CHRISTIAN NORMAN Under the Direction of Nathan Atkinson, PhD ABSTRACT This dissertation project provides a methodological contribution to the field of critical rhetoric by positioning narrative theory as a powerful yet underutilized tool for examining the power dynamic between producer and consumer in a participatory media context. Drawing on theories of author and audience from rhetorical narratology, this study shows how producers of media texts provide rhetorical cues to audiences that allow them to reassert their power in the form of creative authority vis-à-vis consumers. The genre of professional wrestling serves as an ideal text for examining such power dynamics, as WWE has adapted to changing fan participatory behaviors throughout its sixty-year history. Focusing on pivotal moments in which WWE altered its narrative address to its audience in order to reassert its control over the production process, this study demonstrates the utility of narrative theory for understanding how creative authority shows power at work in media texts.

  • A Cultural Analysis of Musical Theatre Recordings and Professional Wrestling
    The Historical Transformation of Media: A Cultural Analysis of Musical Theatre Recordings and Professional Wrestling Leighann C. Neilson* Fiona A.E. McQuarrie** *Contact Author: Leighann Neilson is Assistant Professor, Marketing, Sprott School of Business, Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, Canada K1S 5B6. Email: [email protected]. Dr. Neilson‘s research interests include: social and cultural influences on consumption; the intersection of family history, collective memory and touristic consumption; business history and consumer culture theory. In previous research, Dr. Neilson examined ethical decision making within the professional wrestling marketplace culture. **Fiona McQuarrie is a professor of Human Resources and Organization Studies, Business Administration, University of the Fraser Valley, 33844 King Road, Abbotsford, BC, Canada V2S 7M8. Email: [email protected]. Dr. McQuarrie‘s research interests include the intersection of work and leisure, particularly for workers involved in ―serious leisure‖ outside the workplace, and the business aspects of the professional wrestling industry. Abstract This paper employs Wendy Griswold‘s cultural analysis framework to examine how changes in media forms over time shape cultural products, using case studies of professional wrestling and soundtrack recordings of Broadway musicals. Griswold‘s method is premised on the argument that in order to understand the role or importance of a particular cultural object within a society, and the form which the object takes, we need to take into account not only the attributes of the cultural object, but also the intentions of its producers and its reception by consumers, as well as the social context in which the cultural object is produced and consumed, over time and space.
