Degree awarded September 2013 ii © 2013 Lauren M. Bratslavsky This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (United States) License. iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Lauren Michelle Bratslavsky Doctor of Philosophy School of Journalism and Communication September 2013 Title: From Ephemeral to Legitimate: An Inquiry into Television’s Material Traces in Archival Spaces, 1950s -1970s The dissertation offers a historical inquiry about how television’s material traces entered archival spaces. Material traces refer to both the moving image products and the assortment of documentation about the processes of television as industrial and creative endeavors. By identifying the development of television-specific archives and collecting areas in the 1950s to the 1970s, the dissertation contributes to television studies, specifically pointing out how television materials were conceived as cultural and historical materials “worthy” of preservation and academic study.

  • Winter 2019 Fresnel
    The Fresnel The newsletter of The Black Swamp Players, Inc. Bowling Green, OH Winter 2019 From the President... Dear Theater Lovers, Welcome to 2019 and the continuation of our 51st season! Clue: The Musical, our collaboration with FUMC and their dinner theater team, was a smashing success. It was such fun to see so many shows so well attended and to see such talented new faces in the cast. Thanks to Melissa Shaffer, Deb Shaffer, and Karen Long who jointly headed our production team. It warmed the heart of this grizzled Black Swamp veteran to see so many faces in our audience all at the same time. I’m guessing you felt the same way. I feel certain that The Music Man will exceed even Clue’s lofty attendance numbers. Speaking for the board, we know that we have a better product than our attendance rates would suggest. The attendance has been a concern for a number of years. We feel the best solution is finding a permanent home for our theater. We continue to look for and pursue ways for that to happen. In the meantime, I thought it worth appealing to you, our membership, and anyone else who happens to read this issue of The Fresnel for help. As I see it, the future of BSP depends on growing our audience. There are lots of ways to do that. Better marketing, more familiar shows, more musicals, larger casts are all approaches we are aware of and are to varying degrees working towards. Another way is for the people who already come to see Black Swamp productions (Yes, that would be you.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas.
