Changing Shape: The Evolution of Fat Female Characters in Contemporary American Film A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Laura E. Pohlman April 2016 © 2016 Laura E. Pohlman. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Changing Shape: The Evolution of Fat Female Characters in Contemporary American Film by LAURA E. POHLMAN has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Studies Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract LAURA E. POHLMAN, M.A., April 2016, Film Changing Shape: The Evolution of Fat Female Characters in Contemporary American Film Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz The purpose of this thesis is to elucidate the fluid conception of fat women within contemporary American culture from the early 1970s to the present. Due to their non- normative embodiment, fat women typically face denigration and marginalization. Most mainstream film narratives reify the negative social positioning of fat women, often through assimilationist characters that resign themselves to fatphobia or otherwise compensate for their fatness. On the flipside, carnival and camp narratives foster liberatory fat characterization, as exemplified by the figure of “the unruly woman.” In his portrayal of both assimilationist and liberationist women, Divine functions as a barometer for subsequent fat characterization. Overall, this thesis critiques fat assimilation, argues for the importance of fat liberation, and projects a future where fat acceptance becomes the norm. 4 Table of Contents Page Abstract .............................................................................................................................. -

Herzlich willkommen zu unserem ersten Newsletter im Jahre 2008. Nach einer kurzen Pause melden wir uns wieder zurück und prä- sentieren Ihnen das Neueste aus Deutschland und den USA. Die große Menge an Neu- veröffentlichungen in diesen beiden Regionen hat dazu geführt, dass wir in der vorliegenden Ausgabe auf die Japan-Releases verzichtet haben. Das holen wir aber selbstverständlich im nächsten Newsletter nach. Für uns Filmsammler fing das neue Jahr bereits mit einer grandiosen Neuigkeit an: die Welt wird blau! Der schon viel zu lange anhaltende Konkurrenzkampf zwischen den beiden High Definition Lagern ”Blu-ray Disc” und ”HD DVD” scheint beige- legt zu sein. Anstoß dazu gab Warner Home Video mit der Ankündigung, ab Mitte 2008 High Definition Versionen nur noch im ”Blu- ray”-Format anzubieten und auf ”HD DVD” zu verzichten. Das löste eine gewaltige Lawine in der DVD-Branche aus und führte zu strahlen- den Gesichtern bei den Fans. Denn damit dürfte die ”HD DVD” auf lange Sicht gesehen vom Markt verschwinden. Logisch dass Toshiba als ”HD DVD”-Verfechter nun alles erdenkliche tut, um sein System am Leben zu erhalten. Immerhin hat man zumindest mit Paramount derzeit noch einen der Großen mit im Boot. -

Delinquent Youth: The Ofuna New Wave As in other booming post-war economies, such as the United States and Italy, the late- 1950s began a sea change in Japanese media consumerism. A new youth market had emerged full of excitable adolescents with money to burn and a hunger for entertainment. The popular success of the taiyozoku films, which targeted these young consumers by focusing on rebellious disenfranchised adolescents, inspired one of Japan’s largest studios, Shochiku Co. Ltd., to break with its tradition of classical Japanese drama (best exemplified by the studio’s two biggest directors, Yasujiro Ozu and Mikio Naruse) and attempt to capture some of this new capital. Thus, in 1960, studio head Shiro Kido promoted four promising young assistant directors to the rank of full director and, joining Nagisa Oshima who had been promoted the year before, these five became known as the Ofuna New Wave (“Ofuna” for the location of Shochiku studio headquarters). -
