  • Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies a Thesis Presented to the Facult
    In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies 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 Nicholas D. Bambach August 2016 © 2016 Nicholas D. Bambach. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies by NICHOLAS D. BAMBACH has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT BAMBACH, NICHOLAS D., M.A., August 2016, Film In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis discusses the increasing visibility of masculine identity in contemporary Hollywood comedies. I examine how shifting developments in economic, societal, cultural, and gender relations impacted the perception of cinematic masculinity. The men, more specifically white and heterosexual, in these films position themselves as victims and, as a result, turn to alternative outlets to ease their frustrations and anxieties. In order to broadly survey the genre of the past two decades, I focus on three consistently popular character tropes in Hollywood comedies: slackers, office workers, and bromantic friendships. All the male characters discussed throughout the thesis are plagued by their innermost anxieties and desires that compromise their gendered identities. However, these films resort to a regressive understanding of masculinity and functions within the dominant heteronormative structures. This thesis demonstrates how Hollywood comedies present a contradictory and multifaceted image of modern masculinity.

  • “Pure Grinding” Och “For a Better Day”
    2015-09-03 13:46 CEST AVICII GÖR SIN REGI-DEBUT MED VIDEOS TILL SINGLARNA “PURE GRINDING” OCH “FOR A BETTER DAY” Med två amerikanska Grammy nomineringar och pris på American Music Awards gör superstjärnan Avicii sin regidebut idag med världspremiären för två videos till “For A Better Day” och “Pure Grinding,” den nya dubbel-singeln från hans kommande album STORIES, som släpps 2 oktober på PRMD/Universal. “For A Better Day” http://Avicii.lnk.to/FABDYoutube / http://Avicii.lnk.to/FABDVevo “Pure Grinding” http://Avicii.lnk.to/PureGrindingYoutube / http://Avicii.lnk.to/PureGrindingVevo “Alla låtar innehåller en story som jag ville berätta,” säger Avicii, och fortsätter sitt berättande med sina två filmiska videos. Båda är regisserade av Levan Tsikurishvili och Tim Bergling och spelades in i Ungern under sommaren. Båda är actionspäckade med underliggande sociala teman. I videon till “For A Better Day” medverkar skådespelaren Krister Henriksson, mest känd för huvudrollen i TV-serien “Wallander”. Videon belyser trafficking som är en internationell tragedi. Avicii, säger att han vill att hans musik ska ha en mening utöver förmågan att underhålla. “Löftet om ett bättre liv någon annanstans gör familjer och barn till fångar hos några av de mest avskyvärda människorna i världen. Jag hoppas kunna bidra till att lyfta frågan och skapa debatt, speciellt nu när ofantliga mängder människor är på flykt från krigshärjade länder.” Besök UNICEF.org för mer information. Till "Pure Grinding," som Billboard magazine kallar “a refreshing slice of swing funk whose guitar licks and sax lines fit seamlessly into the producer's tasteful trap-inspired beats,” kommer en video som är en rolig och actionfylld gangster-saga som påminner om en modern Sergio Leone-western.
