  • Romance in Dollhouse Lorna Jowett
    ‘I love him... Is that real?’ Interrogating Romance in Dollhouse Lorna Jowett A Dollhouse Confession (not mine!), website Because of Joss Whedon’s commitment to what he regularly calls feminism in interviews and commentaries, the Whedon creations have consistently interrogated the myth of heterosexual romance. Long-running TV shows like Buffy and Angel offered wide scope for examining romance alongside other aspects of gender and sexuality. The mix of conventions in these earlier shows also lend themselves to negotiating romance from different angles, whether this is about characters growing up and changing their own ideas about romantic and sexual relationships, or what you can ‘get away with’ in a fantasy show about vampires. Firefly featured both a happily married couple and a sex-worker, neither common-place in network TV drama, allowing that shorter-lived series to move away from obvious conventions of romance. And then there’s Dollhouse, where almost all of the characters are either prostitutes or pimps. Melissa Milavec and Sharon Kaye suggest that Buffy ‘owes much of its popularity to making erotic love a dominant theme’ (2003: 174): Dollhouse may owe its lack of popularity to the way it treats much the same theme in a more disturbing fashion. ‘Like every good fairy tale, the story grows more intricate, and more divisive, every decade,’ says a reporter of Dollhouse rumours in ‘The Man on the Street’ (Dollhouse 1.6). His words are equally applicable to the myth of heterosexual romance as tackled by the Whedonverses on TV. The Whedon shows offer a sustained interrogation of gender, but are complicated by the demands of mainstream entertainment.

  • “Transmuting Sorrow”: Earth, Epitaph, and Wordsworth's
    2009 Sharon McGrady ALL RIGHTS RESERVED “TRANSMUTING SORROW”: EARTH, EPITAPH, AND WORDSWORTH’S NINETEENTH-CENTURY READERS by SHARON MCGRADY A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program of Literatures in English written under the direction of Professor William H. Galperin and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2009 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “Transmuting Sorrow”: Earth, Epitaph, and Wordsworth’s Nineteenth-Century Readers By SHARON MCGRADY Dissertation Director: William H. Galperin This study examines the ways in which nineteenth-century readers experienced Wordsworth’s poetry as wisdom literature—ways of reading the poetry which have been largely lost in the twenty-first century. Considered as disciples, these men and women of letters had lifelong relationships with the poet and poetry which paralleled Wordsworth’s own ritual of returning to the text and to the consecrated place in nature. By examining the reading practices of these Wordsworthians in the light of interpretive methods dating back to monastic readers, I show how such practices went hand in glove with the poet’s epitaphic aesthetic. Wordsworth’s theory of poetry derives from his “Essays Upon Epitaphs” which privilege the sympathetic relationship of the epitaph writer to the deceased and to the mourning survivors. I trace the evolution of this aesthetic in Wordsworth’s poetry through his autobiographical poem, The Prelude, considered as the poet’s own epitaph, and through his turn to the frugality and rigid lines of the sonnet as the form most conducive to fulfilling his prophetic duty in later years.

  • Patterns of Confinement and Escape in the Novels
    “SOMETHING TO KEEP US SEPARATE”: PATTERNS OF CONFINEMENT AND ESCAPE IN THE NOVELS OF ELIZABETH BOWEN by CONSTANCE ELIZABETH MEANS NUNLEY Under the direction of Simon J. Gatrell ABSTRACT Through a wide range of characters, situations and events, Elizabeth Bowen’s novels reveal the significance of controls or restraints which limit characters’ freedom of choice, movement, feeling—even their ability to love. These restrictions, sometimes internal or involuntary and sometimes external and deliberate, almost always grow in number and variety throughout her novels. Confinements of place extend beyond enclosures to include external influences such as social class, nationality and war—with a progression toward freedom in a place of one’s own. Bowen’s children and adolescents experience confinements of propriety and knowledge imposed on them by adults. As they learn of love and pain, they also learn conventional ways to protect themselves from pain through confinement of emotion. In addition to the sometimes-attractive confinements of safety and shelter, marriage demonstrates the limitations of loneliness and unrequited love; death, the confinement of incomplete fulfillment; suicide, the great escape. Social class presents a prefabricated structure either reassuring or confining to those within it, and attractive to those outside. The primary impetus of confinement inside the class structure is to keep those outside in their place. Authority figures further this process of exclusion when possible and help to protect innocence and the status quo. Only when authority degenerates into the authority of power does the confinement it imposes become destructive, even evil. The inability to communicate is the ultimate confinement in Bowen’s novels.

  • Genre and Gender in Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible's
    THESIS “LOVINGLY TWEAKED”: GENRE AND GENDER IN JOSS WHEDON’S DR. HORRIBLE’S SING-ALONG BLOG Submitted by Jessica I. Cox Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2013 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Hye Seung Chung David Scott Diffrient Sarah Sloane ABSTRACT “LOVINGLY TWEAKED”: GENRE AND GENDER IN JOSS WHEDON’S DR. HORRIBLE’S SING-ALONG BLOG1 This thesis explores genre and gender in Joss Whedon’s web miniseries, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. The plot of the web miniseries follows Billy, whose alter ego is the wannabe villain, Dr. Horrible. He spends the majority of the miniseries attempting to commit villainous crimes that will, he hopes, get him placed into the Evil League of Evil, falling for the woman he has a crush on, Penny, and avoiding his arch nemesis, the hero Captain Hammer. The web miniseries is representative of elements of Joss Whedon’s auteur signature, also holding implications for the director’s self-declared “feminist agenda.” This thesis utilizes genre theory and conversations about the musical genre to analyze how Dr. Horrible revises the musical genre. Furthermore, the differences between the musical and non-musical sequences serve to illustrate the duality of Billy’s character. The analysis also delves into the tensions between civilized, primitive, hysterical and hegemonic masculinities, as Billy/Dr. Horrible ultimately struggles with all of these forms. Although Billy/Dr. Horrible’s struggle with masculinity is central to the narrative of the web miniseries, the depiction of femininity and Penny’s character is also explored.

Chapter one analyzes the depiction of robot rebellion in Karel Capek’s R.U.R. Chapter two surveys posthuman theory and offers close readings of two con- temporary SF television series that exemplify ontologically progressive narratives. The thesis concludes that posthuman subjectivity sublates the Master/Slave dialectic and encourages practical posthuman ethics.

Dollhouse est le nom d’une entreprise clandestine qui, grâce à une technologie futuriste, transforme temporairement (généralement pour une durée contractuelle prédéfinie de cinq années) des individus « volontaires », à qui l’on promet une importante somme d’argent et une félicité retrouvée après la fin du contrat, en « poupées humaines », véritables êtres posthumains. En modifiant leur architecture neuronale et en effaçant leurs personnalités originelles, l’entreprise transforme ainsi les individus en « systèmes d’exploitation » vivants capables de recevoir à l’infini de nouvelles personnalités (au préalable stockées sur des disques durs).

PROTECTING PRIVACY FOR USERS OF VOICE- ACTIVATED DEVICES Anne Pfeifle* Abstract: Alexa, Amazon’s digital voice assistant, and devices like it, are increasingly common. With this trend comes growing problems, as illustrated by a murder investigation in Bentonville, Arkansas. Police wanted Amazon to turn over data associated with the suspect’s Echo device, hoping it had overheard something on the night of the murder. The case sparked wide-spread interest in the privacy implications of in-home devices that record audio of users. But the biggest threat to user privacy is not that Alexa may overhear a crime—it is that law enforcement will use such devices in new ways that users are not prepared for during investigations.
