First of all, writers Guy Debord and William Burroughs reinvented appropriation art practice as a means of critiquing retrograde mass media entertainments and reportage.

  • Media Moralities, Comedic Inversions, and the First Amendment Anna Lisa
    "Pigs Ate My Roses": Media moralities, comedic inversions, and the First Amendment Anna Lisa Candido Department of Art History and Communication Studies McGill University Montreal, Quebec March 2018 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Studies. © Anna Candido, 2018 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the politics of morality that structured the moral development of mass and niche media forms in America between the 1930s and late 1970s. In order to understand how media became entangled in moral struggles, this work begins by tracing the rise of moral regulation in film and broadcasting in the 1930s and 40s, and the ways that live performance, narrowcast recording, and listener-sponsored radio enabled forms of expression around gender, sexuality, race, crime, and vice that had been unconstitutionally prohibited in mass media. To do this, this dissertation examines a number of critical moments at which community and religious groups charged performers or media players with the loosely-defined concepts of “obscenity” or “indecency” as a way of establishing moral boundaries in mediated culture. By charging Mae West, Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, and listener-sponsored radio stations with obscenity or indecency, groups like the Legion of Decency and Morality in Media (in concert with other state and industry players) exerted significant control over forms of expression that may have otherwise circulated freely under the protection of the First Amendment. Although these groups succeeded in producing discursive and representational limits in film and broadcasting between the 1930s and 1970s, the semi-hiddenness of live performance spaces, niche recordings, and listener-sponsored radio partially or temporarily sheltered controversial performers and allowed like-minded people to convene over unorthodox expressions that more adequately reflected the depth and complexity of their affective states, experiences, or social positions.

He was a queer self- styled poète maudit in the fifties; a protégé of political-historical poet Charles Olson who wrote audaciously personal verse; a lyric poet who eschewed the egoism of the confessional mode in order to pursue the Olsonian project of Projective (outward-looking) poetics; a Boston poet who was institutionalized at state hospitals.

He became addicted to the film medium during his four years at Yale University, where he was a member of the Scholar of the House Program. After graduation in 1963, he spent much of his time scurrying from one movie theatre to another, and did not emerge from the darkness until 1966, when he married, wrote this book, and settled near San Francisco.

We met while we were screening films for THE INDEPENDENT FILM, the exhibition which introduced me as the new di- rector of The Museum of Modern Art's Department of Film, and it was then that I first saw the avidity, energy, and dedication he brought to looking at films.
