Acknowledgements I would like to give special thanks to my advisor, Professor Berg, for his intellectual guidance and warm support throughout my graduate years. I am also grateful to my thesis committee, Professor Schatz, for providing professional insights as a scholar to advance my work. v Abstract A Study of Hypernarrative in Fiction Film: Alternative Narrative in American Film (1989-2012) Taehyun Cho, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2014 Supervisor: Charles R. Berg Although many scholars attempted to define and categorize alternative narratives, a new trend in narrative that has proliferated at the turn of the 21st century, there is no consensus. To understand recent alternative narrative films more comprehensively, another approach using a new perspective may be required. This study used hypertextuality as a new criterion to examine the strategies of alternative narratives, as well as the hypernarrative structure and characteristics in alternative narratives. Using the six types of linkage patterns (linear, hierarchy, hypercube, directed acyclic graph, clumped, and arbitrary links), this study analyzed six recent American fiction films (between 1989 and 2012) that best represent each linkage pattern.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • Screening Series for 'Walkers: Hollywood
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SCREENING SERIES FOR ‘WALKERS: HOLLYWOOD AFTERLIVES IN ART AND ARTIFACT’ TO FEATURE CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD FILMS Exhibition artists Pierre Bismuth, Tom Sachs, and Guy Maddin to appear in person with select screenings and artist talks November 8–December 27, 2015 at Museum of the Moving Image Astoria, New York, October 22, 2015—Museum of the Moving Image is pleased to announce “The Hollywood Classics behind Walkers,” a screening series presented in conjunction with the exhibition Walkers: Hollywood Afterlives in Art and Artifact, the Museum’s first major contemporary art survey. Through the work of 45 artists in painting, photography, sculpture, print, and video, Walkers examines the lasting impact of 20th-century film on culture, and the ability of its imagery to be recycled and reinvented by artists. Exhibition curator Robert M. Rubin has paired these artworks with a selection of rare movie ephemera including scripts, set photos, and costume design sketches, that when viewed through a 21st-century lens, serve as works of art in their own right. As an extension of the exhibition, “The Hollywood Classics behind Walkers” series provides audiences the opportunity to see legendary Hollywood films on the big screen alongside the artworks they have inspired, as well as independent films that bridge the gap between Hollywood film and our greater understanding of “Hollywood.” Museum of the Moving Image Chief Curator David Schwartz and Rubin have selected a program of films significant to the exhibition, with selected screenings featuring conversations with artists Tom Sachs (with The Godfather) and Pierre Bismuth (with Be Kind Rewind); and filmmaker and artist Guy Maddin in person with The Forbidden Room.

The story examines a break-up, and explores concepts of love, loss, grief, and obsession. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Colleen Wagner for her insight, guidance, encouragement, and endless notes.

I am grateful to have had her as my thesis advisor. Many thanks to John Greyson for his patience and unwavering support, both during my time as a graduate student at York, and on this project.

  • The Space of Editing: Playing with Difference in Art, Film and Writing
    The space of editing: playing with difference in art, film and writing Grant Stevens Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) (QUT) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2007 Visual Arts Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology ii Abstract This research project explores the creative and critical functions of editing in art, film and writing. The written component analyses the histories and discourses of ‘cutting and splicing’ to examine their various roles in processes of signification. The artistic practice uses more speculative and open-ended methods to explore the social ‘languages’ that inform our inter-subjective experiences. This project argues that editing is a creative methodology for making meaning, because it allows existing symbolic systems to be appropriated, revised and rewritten. By emphasising the operations of spacing, questioning and play, it also identifies editing as an essential tool for critically engaging with the potentials of art and theory. iii Keywords art; collage; creative practice; cutting; deconstruction; Derrida; difference; editing; Eisenstein; film; graft; grammatology, language; montage; play; postproduction; post-structuralism; signification; spacing; splicing; structuralism; text; trace; video; writing iv Table of contents Abstract....................................................................................................................... iii Keywords ....................................................................................................................iv

  • Cory Arcangel Vs. Pierre Bismuth
    Cory Arcangel vs. Pierre Bismuth November 3rd – December 23rd 2011 Team Gallery - 83 Grand Street Team is pleased to present a two-person exhibition by New York-based artist Cory Arcangel and Brussels-based, French artist Pierre Bismuth. Entitled Cory Arcangel vs. Pierre Bismuth, the exhibition will run from November 3rd through December 23rd, 2011. Team Gallery is located at 83 Grand Street, between Wooster and Greene, on the ground floor. Concurrently, our 47 Wooster Street space will house a one-person exhibition of new work by Miami-based sculptor Cristina Lei Rodriguez. Conceptualists Cory Arcangel and Pierre Bismuth disorient viewers by remixing and reversing emanations from contemporary mass media and pop culture. In this collaborative exhibition, each artist maintains his identifiable signature in the presentation of seven works: three Bismuth pieces chosen by Arcangel, three Arcangel projects selected by Bismuth, and one work created in tandem. The collaborative piece included here is a presentation of Guy Debord’s 1973 film Société du Spectacle (Society of the Spectacle) with the instructional signal of a projector — “CHANGE BULB” — permanently blinking over the image track. While the original film contains intertitles listing philosophies excerpted from the filmmaker’s critical text of the same title, Arcangel and Bismuth insert an overriding, permanent text that operates as a reminder of the inevitable breakdown of technological devices and systems of viewing. Infused with the artists’ distinct brand of subtle wit and intellectual reversal, the action is a particularly Debordian gesture of viewer interuption — a détournement — exactly the kind of disruptive act the original film was considered to perform through its edits, excerpts, and appropriations.
