What would they say? It I would have to be a mixture of vaudeville tunes, revival hymns, socialist politics and hot jazz licks. The hall was built as a vaudeville theatre in 1874 but before the turn of the century became the home of the first Pentecostal Assembly of Australia. Every weekday and Sunday there were prayer meetings, while on Thursdays they held a “tarrying The Eureka Hall, photographed in October, 1985: its official name was the Betty Sutherland Memorial Hall… _______________________________________________________________ *In 1986 the late Harry Stein was a Sydney journalist.

The title itself suggests many of the topics about which women were concerned, or at least were supposed to concern them: the mediation of identity through heterosexual partnership, the pressure to marry and the simultaneous emphasis placed on individual achievement. Concerns about marriage and Lois’ ability to enter into it routinely provide the sole narrative dynamic for stories and Superman engages in different methods of avoiding the matrimonial schemes devised by Lois or her main romantic rival, Lana Lang.

BAKER Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies Texas A&M University-Commerce in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2017 COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS A Dissertation by MICHAEL G. BAKER Submitted to: Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez Committee: Tabetha Adkins Donna Dunbar-Odom Mike Odom Head of Department: M. Hunter Hayes Dean of the College: Salvatore Attardo Interim Dean of Graduate Studies: Mary Beth Sampson iii Copyright © 2017 Michael G. Baker iv ABSTRACT COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS Michael G. Baker, PhD Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2017 Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez, PhD Superhero comic books provide a unique perspective on marginalized characters not only as objects of literary study, but also as opportunities for rhetorical analysis. There are representations of race, gender, sexuality, and identity in the costuming of superheroes that impact how the audience perceives the characters. Because of the association between iconography and identity, the superhero costume becomes linked with the superhero persona (for example the Superman “S” logo is a stand-in for the character). However, when iconography is affected by issues of tokenism, the rhetorical message associated with the symbol becomes more difficult to decode. Since comic books are sales-oriented and have a plethora of tie-in merchandise, the iconography in these symbols has commodified implications for those who choose to interact with them. When consumers costume themselves with the visual rhetoric associated with comic superheroes, the wearers engage in a rhetorical discussion where they perpetuate whatever message the audience places on that image.

  • The Dance-In and the Re/Production of White Corporeality Anthea Kraut, University of California, Riverside
    The Dance-In and the Re/production of White Corporeality Anthea Kraut, University of California, Riverside Abstract This essay examines the figure of the “dance-in,” a stand-in who dances in place of a star prior to filming, focusing on two women who acted as surrogates and dance coaches for the mid-twentieth century white film star Betty Grable: a white woman named Angie Blue and an African American woman named Marie Bryant. Bringing together film studies theories of indexicality, performance studies theories of surrogation, and critical race theories of flesh and body, I argue that the dance-in helps expose how the fiction of white corporeality as a bounded and autonomous mode of being is maintained. Keywords: dance-in, white corporeality, surrogation, indexicality, Betty Grable, Angie Blue, Marie Bryant In 1935, the Los Angeles Times ran a seventy-word article under the headline “Dance Stand-In,” explaining a new phenomenon in Hollywood: “Stand-ins,” persons who take the places of stars while the cameras are being properly focused, have become an accepted fact around the studio sets. Now comes Shirley Temple, youngest star of them all, with a new kind of stand-in – a dance stand-in. Marilyn Harper, one of the Meglin Kiddies, is Shirley’s dance stand-in. Marilyn goes through all the terpsichorean motions for Shirley until she is ready to take her place.1 The need for “dance stand-ins,” sometimes referred to as “dance-ins,” coincided with the rise of the film musical and the increased occurrence of dance in film, ushered in by the advent

    Journal of British Studies 'The show is not about race': Custom, Screen Culture, and The Black and White Minstrel Show --Manuscript Draft-- Manuscript Number: 4811R2 Full Title: 'The show is not about race': Custom, Screen Culture, and The Black and White Minstrel Show Article Type: Original Manuscript Corresponding Author: Christine Grandy, Ph.D. University of Lincoln Lincoln, Lincolnshire UNITED KINGDOM Corresponding Author Secondary Information: Corresponding Author's Institution: University of Lincoln Corresponding Author's Secondary Institution: First Author: Christine Grandy, Ph.D. First Author Secondary Information: Order of Authors: Christine Grandy, Ph.D. Order of Authors Secondary Information: Abstract: In 1967, when the BBC was faced with a petition by the Campaign Against Racial Discrimination (CARD) requesting an end to the televised variety programme, The Black and White Minstrel Show (1958-1978), producers at the BBC, the press, and audience members collectively argued that the historic presence of minstrelsy in Britain rendered the practice of blacking up harmless. This article uses Critical Race Theory as a useful framework for unpacking defences that hinged both on the colour-blindness of white British audiences, and the simultaneous existence of wider customs of blacking up within British television and film. I examine a range of 'screen culture' from the 1920s to the 1970s, including feature films, home movies, newsreels, and television, that provide evidence of the existence of blackface as a type of racialised custom in British entertainment throughout this period. Efforts by organisations such as CARD, black-press publications like Flamingo, and audiences of colour, to name blacking up and minstrelsy as racist in the late 1960s were met by fierce resistance from majority white audiences and producers, who denied their authority to do so.

  • Hollywood Be Thy Name
    UC_Weisenfeld.qxd 11/1/06 2:58 PM Page 19 one .“’Taint What You Was, It’s What You Is Today” Hallelujah and the Politics of Racial Authenticity In 1928 King Vidor, one of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s most successful directors, find- ing himself between projects, decided to spend some time in Europe. Having directed a number of important and successful silent films for the studio—most notably The Big Parade (1925), a tremendously popular World War I epic, and The Crowd (1928), a study of the life of an average man in the large urban environment of New York City—Vidor returned home when the studio asked him to direct his first sound film. Despite his initial predictions that “sound pictures [would] do away entirely with the art of motion pictures,” Vidor soon began to see the possibilities that the new technology presented and was especially excited that sound would make it possible for him to direct a film that he had long wanted to make.1 Synchronous sound, in which the dialogue or singing corresponds with the movements of the actors’ lips, had only begun to make its way into American feature films since the 1927 release of Warner Bros.’ landmark film The Jazz Singer, itself very much about complex processes of racializing religion in America.2 Just as the projection of con- structions of race had been part of the development of the silent motion picture, as D. W. Griffith’s 1915 The Birth of a Nation had ably demonstrated, so the addition of sound had been bound up in conjunctions of religion and race from the outset.

However, this has not always been the case. For example, during World War II, animations were also produced as instruments for political propaganda as well as educational material for adult audiences. In this thesis, the history of the production of animations in the United States of America will be reviewed, especially as the years of World War II are concerned.
