  • Transgender Representation on American Narrative Television from 2004-2014
    TRANSJACKING TELEVISION: TRANSGENDER REPRESENTATION ON AMERICAN NARRATIVE TELEVISION FROM 2004-2014 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Kelly K. Ryan May 2021 Examining Committee Members: Jan Fernback, Advisory Chair, Media and Communication Nancy Morris, Media and Communication Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Media and Communication Ron Becker, External Member, Miami University ABSTRACT This study considers the case of representation of transgender people and issues on American fictional television from 2004 to 2014, a period which represents a steady surge in transgender television characters relative to what came before, and prefigures a more recent burgeoning of transgender characters since 2014. The study thus positions the period of analysis as an historical period in the changing representation of transgender characters. A discourse analysis is employed that not only assesses the way that transgender characters have been represented, but contextualizes American fictional television depictions of transgender people within the broader sociopolitical landscape in which those depictions have emerged and which they likely inform. Television representations and the social milieu in which they are situated are considered as parallel, mutually informing discourses, including the ways in which those representations have been engaged discursively through reviews, news coverage and, in some cases, blogs. ii To Desmond, Oonagh and Eamonn For everything. And to my mother, Elaine Keisling, Who would have read the whole thing. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout the research and writing of this dissertation, I have received a great deal of support and assistance, and therefore offer many thanks. To my Dissertation Chair, Jan Fernback, whose feedback on my writing and continued support and encouragement were invaluable to the completion of this project.

  • DOGFIGHT (Ein Hässliches Spiel)
    DOGFIGHT (Ein hässliches Spiel) Genre: Musical Autoren: Musik und Songtexte von Benj Pasek und Justin Paul Buch von Peter Duchan Nach dem Warner Bros. Film und Drehbuch von Bob Comfort Deutsche Fassung von Daniel Große Boymann Inhalt: Es ist der 21. November 1963. Am Vorabend ihrer Entsendung in einen noch wenig bedeutenden militärischen Konflikt in Südostasien, feiern drei junge Rekruten eine wilde Nacht. Sie schließen eine ebenso übermütige wie grausame Wette ab, den "Dogfight". Aufgabe bei dieser Wette: Wer schleppt das hässlichste Mädchen ab? Auf der Suche nach einer Hässlichen trifft Eddie auf Rose, eine unbeholfene, aber idealistische Kellnerin. Aber Rose schreibt die Spielregeln dieser Wette um und zeigt Eddie, was echte Liebe bewirken kann. DOGFIGHT wurde anlässlich der Off-Broadway-Aufführungsserie im Sommer 2012 mit zwei renommierten Musicalpreisen - dem Richard Rodgers Award und dem Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical - ausgezeichnet. Das Stück zeigt die hässliche Seite männlichen Benehmens ebenso wie ihr Gegenteil, denn trotz aller Rauheit fehlt nicht die berührende Liebesgeschichte. Die Deutschsprachige Erstaufführung dieses berührenden Musical der beiden Oscar Preisträger Pasek & Paul fand am Theater für Niedersachsen in Hildesheim statt. Das Popmusical, das neben mitreisenden Uptempo-Nummern durch sehr gefühlvolle Balladen besticht, lief dort erfolgreich zwei Spielzeiten. Vom Team Pasek & Paul ist auch das Musical EDGES bei Musik und Bühne verfügbar.
