Hunter Hayes Dean of the College: Salvatore Attardo Interim Dean of Graduate Studies: Mary Beth Sampson iii Copyright © 2017 Michael G. Baker iv ABSTRACT COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS Michael G. Baker, PhD Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2017 Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez, PhD Superhero comic books provide a unique perspective on marginalized characters not only as objects of literary study, but also as opportunities for rhetorical analysis. There are representations of race, gender, sexuality, and identity in the costuming of superheroes that impact how the audience perceives the characters. Because of the association between iconography and identity, the superhero costume becomes linked with the superhero persona (for example the Superman “S” logo is a stand-in for the character). However, when iconography is affected by issues of tokenism, the rhetorical message associated with the symbol becomes more difficult to decode. Since comic books are sales-oriented and have a plethora of tie-in merchandise, the iconography in these symbols has commodified implications for those who choose to interact with them. When consumers costume themselves with the visual rhetoric associated with comic superheroes, the wearers engage in a rhetorical discussion where they perpetuate whatever message the audience places on that image.

    HOLLYWOOD GOES TO TOKYO: AMERICAN CULTURAL EXPANSION AND IMPERIAL JAPAN, 1918–1941 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yuji Tosaka, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Michael J. Hogan, Adviser Dr. Peter L. Hahn __________________________ Advisor Dr. Mansel G. Blackford Department of History ABSTRACT After World War I, the American film industry achieved international domi- nance and became a principal promoter of American cultural expansion, projecting images of America to the rest of the world. Japan was one of the few countries in which Hollywood lost its market control to the local industry, but its cultural exports were subjected to intense domestic debates over the meaning of Americanization. This dis- sertation examines the interplay of economics, culture, and power in U.S.-Japanese film trade before the Pacific War. Hollywood’s commercial expansion overseas was marked by internal disarray and weak industry-state relationships. Its vision of enlightened cooperation became doomed as American film companies hesitated to share information with one another and the U.S. government, while its trade association and local managers tended to see U.S. officials as potential rivals threatening their positions in foreign fields. The lack of cooperation also was a major trade problem in the Japanese film market. In general, American companies failed to defend or enhance their market position by joining forces with one another and cooperating with U.S. officials until they were forced to withdraw from Japan in December 1941.

Communal activism spread and flourished until the mid-1970s in many parts of the world. To analyse this global phenomenon, this thesis explores the similarities and differences between the commune movements of Denmark, UK and the US. By examining the motivations for the communal revival, links with 1960s radicalism, communes’ praxis and outward-facing activities, and the crisis within the commune movement and responses to it, this thesis places communal activism within the context of wider social movements for social change. Challenging existing interpretations which have understood the communal revival as an alternative living experiment to the nuclear family, or as a smaller part of the counter-culture, this thesis argues that the commune participants created varied and new experiments for a total revolution against the prevailing social order and its dominant values and institutions, including the patriarchal family and capitalism.

Hijinks ensue and discoveries are made as the characters live out their childhood fantasies. Created with found paper dolls cut from a 1920’s newspaper and found in an attic, the film explores the adults attempt to dictate what girls learn, and the children’s talent for discovering forbidden knowledge. The Toxic Pigs of Fukushima – Documentary 35 min. by Otto Bell, NY, NY, US The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 triggered a tsunami, nuclear meltdown and mass evacuations in Fukushima Prefecture. Today, as part of a Government push to encourage resettlement, local hunters have been enlisted to dispose of radiated wild boars that now roam the abandoned streets and buildings. The film follows a lone hunter into an isolated and changed landscape. Along the way, other citizens who still live near the reactor share their perspectives on the aftermath. “The Toxic Pigs of Fukushima” was inspired by the photographs of co-producers Toru Hanai and Yuki Iwanami. The original score was written and performed by renowned ambient artist Midori Takada. 1 De-Eschatology – Experimental 5 min.

    WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART The American Century: Art & Culture 1900-2000 Part 11: 1950-2000 The Cool World: Film & Video in America 1950-2000 Curated by Chrissie Iles, curator of film and video, Whitney Museum of American Art. Film Program for the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s co-curated with Mark Webber; 1970s, 1980s and 1990s programs co-curated with Mark MacElhatten, Brian Frye, and Bradley Eros. The Cool Worldsurveys the development of avant-garde film and video in America, from the Beats of the to the 1950s recent innovations of the 1990s. The exhibition includes experiments in abstraction and the emergence of a new, "personal" cinema in the 1950s, the explosion of underground film and multimedia experiments in the 1960s, the rigorous Structural films of the early 1970s, and the new approaches to filmmaking in the 1980s and 1990s. The program also traces the emergence of video as a new art form in the 1960s, its use as a conceptual and performance tool during the 1970s, and its exploration of landscape, spirituality, and language during the 1980s . The Cool World concludes in the 1990s, with experiments by artists in projection, digital technology, and new media. The series is divided into two parts. Part I (September 26-December 5, 1999) presents work from the 1950s and 1960s . Part II (December 7, 1999-February 13, 2000) surveys the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Each month is devoted to a specific decade. All films are 16mm. Those marked (v) are shown on videotape. Asterisked films are shown in both the repeating weekly programs and the Thursday/weekend theme programs.
