    MASTERGRADSOPPGAVE I TEATERVITENSKAP Den abnormale kroppen Kropp og funksjonshemming: freaks i teater og film Institutt for lingvistiske, litterære og estetiske studier Universitetet i Bergen VÅR 2011 Karoline Bergsagel Skuseth 1 Abstract In this thesis I aim to explore the ethic-esthetical issues that concern the staging of abnormal bodies. The disabled body is still seen as provocative when it is casted in roles typically reserved for the 'normal', and suffers under these paradigms in relation to both film and theatre. I will approach these issues by an initial attempt to define the terms that characterize the field – including concepts as 'abnormality', 'disability' and the 'freak'-phenomenon – and discuss these in light of their specific contemporary societies. My scientific method is historiographical, as a thorough understanding of the examples I have chosen to focus on involves the reception of them, based on their contemporary ethical conditions. To be able to discuss the subject matter metaphorically, I will imply theory concerning theatricality, and the relation between performer and audience. My historical backdrop begins with the development of the american sideshow, from the development of the dime museums of the 19 th century to the main tendencies in modern sideshows at Coney Island, New York 'Freak' as term went through a significant shift in the 1960s, when subcultures connected to musical genres as psychedelia, prog rock and garage rock adopted the concept as a positive definition. Despite this fact, there still exists prejudist attitudes in contemporary performing arts. This is very apparent in one of my main examples, the staging of an adaptation of Tod Brownings film Freaks (1932).

  • SFSFF 2018 Program Book
    elcome to the San Francisco Silent Film Festival for five days and nights of live cinema! This is SFSFFʼs twenty-third year of sharing revered silent-era Wmasterpieces and newly revived discoveries as they were meant to be experienced—with live musical accompaniment. We’ve even added a day, so there’s more to enjoy of the silent-era’s treasures, including features from nine countries and inventive experiments from cinema’s early days and the height of the avant-garde. A nonprofit organization, SFSFF is committed to educating the public about silent-era cinema as a valuable historical and cultural record as well as an art form with enduring relevance. In a remarkably short time after the birth of moving pictures, filmmakers developed all the techniques that make cinema the powerful medium it is today— everything except for the ability to marry sound to the film print. Yet these films can be breathtakingly modern. They have influenced every subsequent generation of filmmakers and they continue to astonish and delight audiences a century after they were made. SFSFF also carries on silent cinemaʼs live music tradition, screening these films with accompaniment by the worldʼs foremost practitioners of putting live sound to the picture. Showcasing silent-era titles, often in restored or preserved prints, SFSFF has long supported film preservation through the Silent Film Festival Preservation Fund. In addition, over time, we have expanded our participation in major film restoration projects, premiering four features and some newly discovered documentary footage at this event alone. This year coincides with a milestone birthday of film scholar extraordinaire Kevin Brownlow, whom we celebrate with an onstage appearance on June 2.

  • Freaks and Masculinity: Sideshow Performers in German and American Cinema
    FREAKS AND MASCULINITY: SIDESHOW PERFORMERS IN GERMAN AND AMERICAN CINEMA Alexandra McCollum A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS DECEMBER 2013 Committee: Dr. Geoffrey Howes, Co-advisor Dr. Edgar Landgraf, Co-advisor ii ABSTRACT Dr. Geoffrey Howes, Co-advisor Dr. Edgar Landgraf, Co-advisor This project examines the portrayals of male sideshow performers in German and American cinema and literature. Specifically it investigates the manner in which the social expectations of the masculine social role are altered by the perceived physical and mental otherness in the figure of the freak. The main freak performers discussed here are the somnambulist Cesare from Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari, Hans the dwarf from Freaks, Stan Carlisle from Nightmare Alley, who eventually becomes a geek with a travelling carnival, and Oskar Matzerath, the hunchbacked dwarf who is the protagonist of Die Blechtrommel. The examination of the male freak characters focuses upon three major areas which these works have in common: the portrayal of the freak as an unreliable narrator or signifying the presence of unreliable narration; the problematic interactions between the male freak and female characters, including romantic interests, and various manifestations of the male freak’s denial of responsibility. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisors, Dr. Geoffrey Howes and Dr. Edgar Landgraf, as well as the members of Dr. Landgraf’s Fall 2012 thesis workshop course, for their contributions to and assistance with this work. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................. 1 The History of the Freak ...........................................................................................

  • A Textual Analysis of Browning's Freaks (1932)
    Word and Text Vol. VIII 95 – 110 A Journal of Literary Studies and Linguistics 2018 Reclamation of the Disabled Body: A Textual Analysis of Browning’s Freaks (1932) vs Modern Media’s Sideshow Generation Sasha Dilan Krugman Independent Scholar E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article introduces Tod Browning’s 1932 film Freaks, in conversation with nineteenth century carnival and fair practices and further explains the creation and development of the freakshow. In tandem with theoretical work by authors such as Judith Butler, Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Adrianna Cavarero and Lennard Davis, the article positions the freakshow within disability and trauma through the notions of ‘staring’, ‘normal’ and ‘horrorism’. Using two contemporary texts such as American Horror Story: Freakshow and the reality television series Freakshow, this article firstly introduces these texts thematically before analysing all three in conversation with one another as a means of further contextualizing the role of the freakshow in contemporary cultural products, then connecting these texts to the notion of violence and the use of disability as a tool for horror. The article concludes that although the freakshow has been dismantled in the literal sense, the obvious bodily difference that predicates it still remains present in today’s cultural sphere. Keywords: trauma, disability, carnival, circus, freakshow, abjection, American Gothic, film, media, television Freaks and the Marginalized Body Tod Browning’s 1932 film Freaks, its reception, and later revival can be considered as one of the most fascinating case studies for freakshow culture, trauma and disability studies in cinema. Not only does the film draw attention to one of the most controversial sides of 19th century carnival culture in North America, but it has also become a reference point from which disability, trauma, film and media studies can further explore the phenomenon of the freakshow and its manifestations in media today.
