INT OD TION PA GEA NTRY has become so familiar to the people of the U nited States within the last few years that no detailed ex planation of its scope and aims is necessary. It may be well, however, to review some of its principal aspects for the sake of those who have had no intimate personal con - tact with the organization and administration of a pageant. The organization and efi ective administration of a pageant that is to be worth while bear the same relation to the man m a“ge en t of a”n ordinary dramatic production that modern big business bears to the limited business organizations to be found in the third quarter of the last century . Such an organization cannot be perfected overnight . It must be the result of careful planning and the wise selection of personnel . The matter of the number of people in the cast points very clearly to the complicated organization necessary to ensure a reasonably correct performance that shall move few forward with or no interruptions . Aside from the matter of the selection of these persons and their assign defin it ment to e parts , and this is a problem of considerable in magnitude a pageant using hundreds of characters , the mere mechanical arrangements necessary in order that the entrances and exits may be carried out as planned call for an elaborate organization of directors and assistants almost appalling in its intricacy . Add to this the successful opera tion of all the other details that go with the pre sentation ” 2 THE TECHNIQUE OF PAGEANTRY of a successful pageant performance and something of the magnitude of the undertaking may be understood . Taking care of hundreds of characters W hen they are not on the stage is enough to tax the ingenuity of even an experienced director . With a community thoughtfully and completely organized these many details are , however , taken care of more or less automatically and the burden W hich falls upon any individual is relatively slight . The chapters which fol low attempt to give the essential points in the organi z ation of a community in such a manner that a smoothly running machine results , a machine that makes practically certain a successful production W hich shows no sign of the machin e ry existing behind the production . A pageant is much wider in its scope than is an ordi nary dramatic performance . It may present in a broad sketchy manner events W idely separated in time so long as they are closely related in character or in the ideals ex ’ fitn ess ff pressed . One s sense of the of things is not o ended although the W hole range of the history of the world is included in the action of a pageant so long as all of the episodes contribute to the idea which the pageant seeks to express . The pageant is not bound by the traditional unities of the drama yet it must have some continuity of action or emotion to hold the various parts together . A mere collection of historical episodes cannot correctly be called a pageant unless they all express the same idea or all con U tribute to the building up of a central idea . nity of idea is the only unity the preservation of which is essential in pageantry . Freedom from the restraints of time and place allows nearly unlimited scope in the selection of material for pageant episodes . In fact the more widely separated in point of time and place the episodes are the more effective they are apt to be from the standpoint of the spectacular. The acting of a pageant is more formal , impression istic c , and lacking in detailed delineation of haracter than is is c . the a ting of the drama The staging of a pageant , how ever, much less formal than the staging of a play . Much THE INTRODUCTION 3 of the action of a pageant may and probably will take place on the stage but on the other hand a considerable portion of it may take place in the aisles and other open spaces within ff the view of the audience . In the most e ective form of pageantry the entire audience is made to feel itself a part of the pageant and hence the stage in reality includes all of r the space within the building o , if the pageant be given out of doors , all the space near the formal stage .

    THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: LADINO AND INDIGENOUS PAGEANTRY IN NEOCOLONIAL GUATEMALA by Jillian L. Kite A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2014 Copyright by Jillian L. Kite 2014 ii iii ABSTRACT Author: Jillian L. Kite Title: The Eye of the Beholder: Ladino and Indigenous Pageantry in Neocolonial Guatemala Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Co-Advisors: Dr. Josephine Beoku-Betts and Dr. Mark Harvey Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2014 In this thesis I utilize a feminist case study method to explore gender, race, authenticity, and nationalism in the context of globalization. Each year, Guatemala conducts two ethno-racially distinct pageants – one indigenous, the other ladina. The indigenous pageant prides itself on the authentic display of indigenous culture and physiognomies. On the contrary, during the westernized ladina pageant, contestants strive to adhere to western beauty ideals beauty and cultural norms engendered by discourses of whiteness. However, when the winner advances to the Miss World Pageant, they misappropriate elements of Mayan culture to express an authentic national identity in a way that is digestible to an international audience. In the study that follows, I examine the ways in which national and international pageants are reflective of their iv respective levels of social and political conflict and how they serve as mechanisms of manipulation by the elite at the national and global levels. v THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: LADINO AND INDIGENOUS PAGEANTRY IN NEOCOLONIAL GUATEMALA I.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

After all, the 26-year-old Isinger-songwriter grew up in the world of high hair and tiaras, deep in the heart of rural Texas where the Sweet Potato Festival was the biggest source of excitement each year in her hometown of Golden. It’s not hard to believe she could easily have been that girl we all wanted to be in high school: pretty as a prom queen, long chestnut locks cascading in perfect waves over her sequined at- tire, a pair of signature cowboy boots offsetting snug-fitting cutoffs, the lethal combination of old country twang, progressive Gen Y ideals, and sharp-witted lyrics a fitting complement to her moxie. But all of those physical attributes, true as they might be, are not what Musgraves wants you to be thinking about when queuing up the title track on her new record out June 23. “It was one of the last songs that we wrote for this album, but after sitting on it for a while, I “I like the message of the song.

  • KACEY MUSGRAVES Two Decades Ago — Long Before Same Trailer
    KACEY MUSGRAVES Two decades ago — long before Same Trailer Different Park turned her into a Grammy-winning country star with sold-out tours and Top 10 hits — Kacey Musgraves participated in her first (and only) beauty pageant. "My hometown is pretty famous for its sweet potatoes," she says, "and every year, they hold the Golden Sweet Potato Festival. They crown a Sweet Potato Queen and a Little Miss Tater Tot for little girls. I only competed for Little Miss Tater Tot once, when I was about three, and lost mis- erably to a girl in a sparklier dress." The pageant world, with its fake smiles and sky-high hairdos, wasn't the best match for Mus- graves. She was more interested in songwriting, finishing her very first tune at 9 years old and learning her first instrument, the mandolin, as a pre-teen. Years later, though, the peculiarities of daily life in a small town — along with the places she's visited (and people she's met) since mov- ing away— are back on her mind. It's been years since Musgraves lived in Golden, Texas, her childhood home of roughly 600 peo- ple, but the whirlwind that followed Same Trailer Different Park — a debut album that topped the country charts, took home two Grammy Awards (including Country Album of the Year) and sent Musgraves halfway across the world on tour — made her think hard about where she came from. Pageant Material, her second album, pays tribute to those Bible Belt roots, shining a light on a hometown girl who's grown up, expanded her worldview and done a lot of livin' since skip- ping town.
