Source Gift from Seth Harris and purchase from Len Prince, 2015; additions purchased from Len Prince, 2016; additions gift from Prakash Sethuraman, 2018. Custodial History Art collector Seth Harris donated a boxed set of 100 unique 8x10 Polaroid prints signed on the back, reflected as an oversized bound volume (OBV) in the collection, to the Rose Library in 2015. The Rose Library purchased the rest of the collection from the creator, Len Prince, in 2015 and 2016. The purchase in 2015 consisted of eight prints of Jessie Mann, while the purchase in 2016 consisted of the bulk of the collection. Prior to transfer to the Rose Library, Prince organized the 2016 additions, sorting them and rehousing them into archival-quality containers. Curator of Modern, Historical and Political Collections, Randy Gue, and Accessioning and Collections Manager, Meaghan O'Riordan, packed the additions at Prince's residence in upstate New York and prepared them for shipment to the Rose Library. In 2018, Prakash Sethuraman shipped a portfolio of Prince's "Self Possessed: Jessie Mann Photographs," which he had purchased previously from Prince. Citation [after identification of item(s)], Len Prince papers, Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library, Emory University. Appraisal Note Curator of Modern, Historical and Political Collections, Randy Gue, acquired the collection as part of the Rose Library's holdings in contemporary photography and LGBT history. During processing in 2018, Rose Library staff removed and shredded a half a linear foot of duplicate materials and returned one foot of out of scope materials, to the creator. Appraisal decisions were made by Accessioning and Collections Manager, Meaghan O'Riordan, in consultation with Randy Gue. Processing The original accession was arranged and described at the item level by Sarah Quigley, 2015. These materials are housed in Box 111, folders 1-9; Box 136; and OBV1. Significant additions were arranged and described at the file level by Meaghan O'Riordan, 2016-2018. During processing, archivists retained Prince's original file titles when available. Titles devised by Rose staff are indicated by square brackets. Rose staff also retained Prince's original filing system codes. 2 Len Prince photographs, 1990-2016 Manuscript Collection No. 1339 Born digital materials arranged and described by Brenna Edwards, 2019-2020. Born digital materials consist of photographs taken from 1 3.5" floppy disk, 3 optical discs, and 1 hard drive. Files range from 2000 to 2016. Forensic disk images were created from the 3.5” floppy disk using Kryoflux, with the optical discs and hard drive images being created with GuyMager. Individual files were extracted using FTK Imager and scanned for viruses using McAfee’s anti-virus software; none were found. Duplicate files have been removed, and files were scanned for personally identifiable information; none were found. Len Prince developed a personalized filing system for his photographs that involved assigning alphanumeric codes that reflected the subject of the photos and the sequence in which they were taken. Archivists at the Rose Library retained this filing system. A sample indicator may look like: A001 where the A represents the subject dance (each letter of the alphabet was assigned to a particular subject, such as dance or theatre) and the numbers following the letter represent the number of the binder box in sequence that contained the negatives. This filing system was primarily used as a subject filing system. Some letters of the alphabet are missing, as are some numbers within letters. It is assumed that these were either never assigned or refiled elsewhere in the sequence. This finding aid may include language that is offensive or harmful. Please refer to the Rose Library's harmful language statement for more information about why such language may appear and ongoing efforts to remediate racist, ableist, sexist, homophobic, euphemistic and other oppressive language. If you are concerned about language used in this finding aid, please contact us at [email protected]. Collection Description Biographical Note American photographer Len Prince (1953-) was born in Detroit, Michigan, and acquired his first camera at the age of nine from an S & H Green Stamps redemption center. In the early 1970s, Prince studied with Jerry Uelsmann at the School of Visual Arts (New York, New York). Prince's work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Essence, Metrosource, PAPER, and Us Weekly, among many other publications. His work includes celebrity portraiture, fashion and advertising, nudes, still life, and cityscapes. Prince currently resides in upstate New York. Scope and Content Note The collection consists primarily of contact sheets and negatives with some Polaroid and silver gelatin prints of photographs by Len Prince from 1969-2016. Prince took a large number of celebrity images as part of his book project, About Glamour (1997), meant to be "a collection of quadratone photographs of today's stars" to "evoke the elegant style of Hollywood's Golden Age of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s." There are also images of male and female nudes depicting gay and lesbian sexuality; male and female nudes wearing African masks; and cityscapes of the New York City skyline. Additionally, materials include Prince's commercial work for companies, such as Estee Lauder and Cartier, and travel magazines. There are prints from Prince's "Self Possessed" series, later published as a book by the same title, featuring Jessie Mann. Jessie Mann is the daughter of photographer Sally Mann. The "Self 3 Len Prince photographs, 1990-2016 Manuscript Collection No. 1339 Possessed" series is part response to the controversy surrounding Sally Mann photographing her nude children and part homage to art and artists of the past; many of the photographs feature Jessie Mann dressed in clothing or positioned to recreate works of iconic artists, such as Cindy Sherman. Prince exhibited the one man show, the Tampa Museum project. This was an art installation of models painted to appear as nude statues in the Tampa Museum of Art (Florida) in 1994. Prince was in New York City on the day of the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001 with only a Polaroid camera and documented the event from his hotel room. He was also able to visit the site for further documentary photography work. These materials are also included in the collection. Finally, there is professional correspondence and printed material featuring Prince's work. Born digital materials include personal and professional photographs. Professional photographs include various editorial photoshoots, theater photoshoots, and various celebrity portraits. There are also general portfolio photographs, as well as some website material. Arrangement Note Arranged by record type. Contact sheets and negatives are arranged in the order they were received from the donor. The remaining material is arranged by title. Born digital material kept in original order. Original file and folder names were kept. 4 Len Prince photographs, 1990-2016 Manuscript Collection No. 1339 Container List Contact

  • Narrativa Transmedia En El Discurso Del Videojuego De Ciencia Ficción
    NARRATIVA TRANSMEDIA EN EL DISCURSO DEL VIDEOJUEGO DE CIENCIA FICCIÓN: MASS EFFECT (2007-2013) COMO NARRACIÓN LÚDICA Y TRANSMEDIA * RODRÍGUEZ HERRADA , Diego [email protected] Fecha de recepción: 15 de abril de 2014 Fecha de aceptación: 3 de mayo de 2014 Resumen: Este trabajo consiste en un acercamiento a las narraciones transmedia a través de la contextualización y análisis de la estructura transmedia y potencialidad narrativa que soporta Mass Effect , franquicia de culto asentada en un universo de Ciencia Ficción. El presente estudio consta de tres partes: en la primera, observaremos la especial versatilidad de los videojuegos para convertirse en narraciones transmediales, más aún si éstos se desarrollan en un contexto de Ciencia Ficción. En la segunda parte nos centraremos en el caso concreto de Mass Effect, una producción transmedia de Ciencia Ficción cuyo centro es una trilogía de videojuegos, que tomaremos como paradigma de la emergencia de esta nueva «cultura de convergencia» por la cual fluyen las narraciones transmedia, analizando cómo se conforman su historia, personajes, etc. y explorando su profundidad temática (clave para su expansión narrativa) utilizando temas clásicos de la Ciencia Ficción. Además, analizaremos su estructura, partes de las que consta, cómo se relacionan éstas y qué funciones narrativas desempeñan, así como el entramado industrial que soporta a todas ellas. Para finalizar, en la tercera parte expondremos las conclusiones a las que hemos llegado con este estudio, poniendo de manifiesto la idoneidad de las narraciones transmediales para el futuro de las industrias dedicadas al entretenimiento. Palabras clave: Narrativa transmedia – crossmedia – videojuego – Ciencia Ficción – Mass Effect * Este trabajo forma parte del Trabajo Fin de Máster del Máster en Comunicación Social de la Universidad de Almería, que permite el acceso a los estudios de doctorado en Artes y Humanidades en la línea de investigación de Teoría de la Narrativa.

  • Indie TV: Innovation in Series Development Aymar Jean Christian Northwestern Univeristy I Spent Five Years Interviewing Creators
    Indie TV: Innovation in series development DRAFT Aymar Jean Christian Northwestern Univeristy I spent five years interviewing creators of American web series, or independent television online,1 speaking with 134 producers and executives making and releasing scripted series independent of traditional network investment. No two series or creators were ever alike. Some were sci-fi comedies created by Trekkers, others urban dramas by black women. Nevertheless nearly every creator differentiated their work and products from traditional television in some way. Strikingly, whenever I ask if any particular creator inspired them to develop their own show independently, I heard one response more than any other: Felicia Day. Indie TV creators revere Day for her innovation in production and distribution: she developed a hit franchise, The Guild, outside network development processes. The Guild, a sitcom about a diverse group of gamers who sit at computers all day to play an MMORPG in the style of World of Warcraft, ran for six seasons, from 2007 to 2013, and spawned a music video, DVDs, comic books, a companion book, as well as marshaled the passions of hundreds of thousands of fans. By the end of its run, The Guild had amassed over 330,000 subscribers on YouTube, though it could also be seen on other portals. In my work I have seen The Guild emerge as central to the online indie TV industry’s case for itself as antidote to what ails Hollywood. Day initially pitched to Christian, A.J. (forthcoming).

Half-Man, self-portrait by Daniel McKernan, 2003. 3 ABSTRACT This thesis research paper, in order to fully contextualize the project which will come to fruition by May, 2005, must first review in brief the social construction of gender, focusing mostly on the writings of Judith Butler. After a familiarity is established with gender as performance, a historical background on fame is given along with the comparative differences between the notions of fame and celebrity, particularly the theories of Donald Kuspit on the concept of the art-star as coined by Andy Warhol. Transgenic, Biological, and Carnal Art are also discussed, touching on Eduardo Kac, Chrissy Conant and Orlan. This brings the reader up to speed to delve into the notion of transsexualism as the new punk aesthetic of our time and as a performative and bodily art form as conceptualized by luminary celebrity transsexual, Amanda Lepore, who is to be the star of the actual thesis project. Furthermore, a look into my personal background, particularly my artistic biography and previous statements, is addressed.

  • 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: 'Life Lessons'
    Notes 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: ‘Life Lessons’ 1. This trajectory finds its seminal outlining in Caughie (1981a), being variously replicated in, for example, Lapsley and Westlake (1988: 105–28), Stoddart (1995), Crofts (1998), Gerstner (2003), Staiger (2003) and Wexman (2003). 2. Compare the oft-quoted words of Sarris: ‘The art of the cinema … is not so much what as how …. Auteur criticism is a reaction against sociological criticism that enthroned the what against the how …. The whole point of a meaningful style is that it unifies the what and the how into a personal state- ment’ (1968: 36). 3. For a fuller discussion of the conception of film authorship here described, see Grist (2000: 1–9). 4. While for this book New Hollywood Cinema properly refers only to this phase of filmmaking, the term has been used by some to designate ‘either something diametrically opposed to’ such filmmaking, ‘or some- thing inclusive of but much larger than it’ (Smith, M. 1998: 11). For the most influential alternative position regarding what he calls ‘the New Hollywood’, see Schatz (1993). For further discussion of the debates sur- rounding New Hollywood Cinema, see Kramer (1998), King (2002), Neale (2006) and King (2007). 5. ‘Star image’ is a concept coined by Richard Dyer in relation to film stars, but it can be extended to other filmmaking personnel. To wit: ‘A star image is made out of media texts that can be grouped together as promotion, publicity, films and commentaries/criticism’ (1979: 68). 6. See, for example, Grant (2000), or the conception of ‘post-auteurism’ out- lined and critically demonstrated in Verhoeven (2009).

  • 'Just Like Us'?
    ‘Just like us’? Investigating how LGBTQ Australians read celebrity media Lucy Watson A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2019 Statement of originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. A version of Chapter Nine appears in the book Gender and Australian Celebrity Culture (forthcoming), edited by Anthea Taylor and Joanna McIntyre. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Lucy Watson 25th September 2019 i Abstract In the 21st century, celebrity culture is increasingly pervasive. Existing research on how people (particularly women) read celebrity indicates that celebrity media is consumed for pleasure, as a way to engage in ‘safe’ gossip amongst imagined, as well as real, communities about standards of morality, and as a way to understand and debate social and cultural behavioural standards. The celebrities we read about engage us in a process of cultural identity formation, as we identify and disidentify with those whom we consume. Celebrities are, as the adage goes, ‘just like us’ – only richer, more talented, or perhaps better looking. But what about when celebrities are not ‘just like us’? Despite relatively recent changes in the representation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) life in the media, the world of celebrity is an overwhelmingly heterosexual one.
