On June 6th and 7th, we celebrate Mr. Chaplin who lived and worked here exactly a century ago, creating five films that were shot on loca- tion in our little hamlet. Anyone who has read about Charles Spencer Chaplin knows he came from poverty. His par- ents worked in music halls patch- ing together an existence. His father was an alcoholic, his mother mentally unstable. But when things were okay, they were entertainers on the stage, singing. continued on page 44 Photo by Dino Labiste BY JOHNNA M.

  • Performance in the Life-Writings of Frank Mccourt
    School of English Studies Frank Confessions: Performance in the Life-Writings of Frank McCourt by Margaret Mary Catherine Eaton BA (Hons), MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2015 FRANK CONFESSIONS: PERFORMANCE IN THE LIFE-WRITINGS OF FRANK MCCOURT ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the work of Frank McCourt, a writer who came to prominence in the 1990s for writing best-selling memoirs that touched upon a wider set of issues in the contemporary cultural debate: namely Ireland itself, the status of the memoir genre, and Irish-American identity. In five distinct chapters, the thesis adopts a postcolonial perspective using the theories of political performance that have been created by Victor Merriman and Joe Cleary to analyse the impact that McCourt’s life-writing and other performances have had upon global impressions of Ireland in the era of the ‘Celtic Tiger’. My thesis combines Merriman’s premise that in performance we can see the basic idea of Irish culture being resistant to modernism and, therefore, Ireland never properly decolonised with Cleary’s notion of disassociation of past and present and his concern with the social and cultural implications of Ireland’s uncritical embrace of a form of capitalist modernisation. Cleary and Merriman’s key ideas are reshaped to uncover the ways in which McCourt creates a version of ‘Irishness’ that is replete with recurrent clichés and stereotypical characters. I make the case that the performative model that McCourt adopts exposes his purpose of creating a national and cultural identity of 1930s and 1940s Ireland in which he reworks and revitalises his impoverished, traumatic childhood, revealing that the identity he expresses is a conscious performance.

  • The Libidinal Economy of the Japanese Sex Industry: Sexual Politics and Female Labor
    The Libidinal Economy of the Japanese Sex Industry: Sexual Politics and Female Labor by Gabriele Koch A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Jennifer E. Robertson, Chair Clinical Professor Bridgette Ann Carr Associate Professor Elizabeth F.S. Roberts Associate Professor Gayle S. Rubin Associate Professor Kiyoteru Tsutsui © Gabriele Koch All rights reserved 2014 Dedication Für meine Eltern ii Acknowledgements I am greatly indebted to the many individuals who facilitated my research and allowed me to enter into their confidences. Foremost among these are the women working in the sex industry who shared their stories with me. Their morally complex engagements with work that presents both opportunities and risks lie at the very heart of this project. My debt runs particularly deep to the women I have named Shiori and Sayaka, who are true fountains of wisdom and generosity. The work of the sex worker advocacy group pushing for improved conditions in the sex industry is humbling and inspiring. I am also deeply grateful to the staff, interns, and volunteers at Let’s Fight Slavery Japan (a pseudonym), who graciously welcomed me into their activities and patiently allowed me to think through their visions of a gender-equal society. I am also indebted to the men and “new half” individuals working in the sex industry, sex industry stakeholders, police officers and officials, journalists, human rights and women’s rights activists, bureaucrats, lawyers, and others who generously shared their time and thoughts with me.

  • The Rock Star As Contemporary Cowboy: Film Mythology and Ideology
    THE ROCK STAR AS CONTEMPORARY COWBOY: FILM MYTHOLOGY AND IDEOLOGY by THOMAS J. BARRY B.S., University of Kansas, 1989 M.A., California State University, Fullerton, 1992 M.S.W., University of Kansas, 1996 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Sociology College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2006 ABSTRACT This study examines the mythology of rock and roll stars in film. To accomplish this the narrative structures and ideological components of films about rock stars were identified and analyzed. There were two reasons for choosing this film genre. First, these films are specifically produced for a youth-oriented audience, an age demographic making the transition to adulthood. Because of this, these films provide commentary about social institutions and cultural values about finding a place in a market-based economy that is not as clearly transparent in other genres. Second, these films deal with society across historical time periods, starting with the inception of rock and roll in the 1950s through the present time. Because they cross multiple decades it is possible to analyze how the narrative structure and content of the films change across time and how these changes reflect changes in social conditions. The narrative structure of these films were identified and analyzed following the methodology laid out by Will Wright in Sixguns and Society (1975). The five narrative structures that were identified included, in chronological order, the reconciliation plot, the personal revival plot, the personal revival plot tragedy variation, the self-destruction plot, and the rejection plot.
