I had not worked with Dr. Hagemann before this process; she took a chance on me by becoming my advisor. I thought that I would be unable to pursue an honors thesis. By being my advisor, she made this experience possible. Her interest and dedication to my work exceeded my expectations. My thesis greatly benefited from her input. Thank you, Dr. Hagemann, for your generosity with your time and genuine interest in this thesis and its success. Thank you to Dr. Fitz Brundage for his helpful comments and willingness to be my second reader. I would also like to thank Dr. Michelle King for her valuable suggestions and support throughout this process. I am very grateful for Dr. Hagemann and Dr. King. Thank you both for keeping me motivated and believing in my work. Thank you to my roommates, Julia Wunder, Waverly Leonard, and Jamie Antinori, for being so supportive. They understood when I could not be social and continued to be there for me. They saw more of the actual writing of this thesis than anyone else. Thank you for being great listeners and wonderful friends. Thank you also to my parents, Joe and Krista Brady, for their unwavering encouragement and trust in my judgment. I would also like to thank my sister, Mahlon Brady, for being willing to hear about subjects that are out of her sphere of interest.

  • 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. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • World War Ii and Us Cinema
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: WORLD WAR II AND U.S. CINEMA: RACE, NATION, AND REMEMBRANCE IN POSTWAR FILM, 1945-1978 Robert Keith Chester, Ph.D., 2011 Co-Directed By: Dr. Gary Gerstle, Professor of History, Vanderbilt University Dr. Nancy Struna, Professor of American Studies, University of Maryland, College Park This dissertation interrogates the meanings retrospectively imposed upon World War II in U.S. motion pictures released between 1945 and the mid-1970s. Focusing on combat films and images of veterans in postwar settings, I trace representations of World War II between war‘s end and the War in Vietnam, charting two distinct yet overlapping trajectories pivotal to the construction of U.S. identity in postwar cinema. The first is the connotations attached to U.S. ethnoracial relations – the presence and absence of a multiethnic, sometimes multiracial soldiery set against the hegemony of U.S. whiteness – in depictions of the war and its aftermath. The second is Hollywood‘s representation (and erasure) of the contributions of the wartime Allies and the ways in which such images engaged with and negotiated postwar international relations. Contrary to notions of a ―good war‖ untainted by ambiguity or dissent, I argue that World War II gave rise to a conflicted cluster of postwar meanings. At times, notably in the early postwar period, the war served as a progressive summons to racial reform. At other times, the war was inscribed as a historical moment in which U.S. racism was either nonexistent or was laid permanently to rest. In regard to the Allies, I locate a Hollywood dialectic between internationalist and unilateralist remembrances.

Western Michigan University, 1999 Committee Chair: Brock Clarke, Ph.D. The Big Baby Crime Spree and Other Delusions: Short Stories Darrin Doyle Dissertation Abstract My creative work focuses on the notion of belief – not religious belief, necessarily, but belief (mistaken or not) in our ability to control the circumstances that shape us: as Wallace Stevens wrote, “It is the belief and not the god that counts.” Thematically, my works feature the following characteristics: elements of the fantastic; dark humor; and working-class protagonists who seek to palliate some unnamable dissatisfaction in their lives and who seek this correction through obsessive behavior that might be either wonderfully healing or terribly misguided – the results are in the eye of the beholder. The tensions between the fantastic and the realistic, between blue-collar and academic concerns, between knowing and not-knowing, between what we internally perceive and the external truth – unresolved oppositions like these are what create the lasting effects of literature, and they are what I strive to cultivate in my writing.

The more highly charged the event, the more evocative it is, the greater the incentive to become invested in different versions of it.”1 This is true of any historic event, but quite possibly the best event to fit this description is the Holocaust of the Jews in Europe. Those of us who did not endure the concentration camps have no way to know exactly how it felt to be in that situation. Elie Wiesel said this while criticizing the acclaimed mini-series Holocaust.2 We only know what we have seen in the representation of the event, so we have seen different versions of the Shoah3.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 48106-1346 ii EPIGRAPH When Arjuna observed the vast armies assembled on the battlefield of Kuruksetra, full of great and valiant fighters, he was full of fear. And when he saw that arrayed before him were his fathers, brothers, sons, cousins, grandfathers and uncles, whom he must fight to achieve victory, his apprehension grew vastly. Seeing them all filled him with compassion and he declared to Lord Krsna “I do not see how any good can come from killing my own kinsmen in this battle, nor can I, my dear Krsna, desire any subsequent victory, kingdom, or happiness.” Arjuna, having thus spoken on the battlefield, cast aside his bow and arrows and sat down on the chariot, his mind overwhelmed with grief. But Lord Krsna told him to perform his prescribed duty, take up his weapons and to go forth into the battle of life for “action is better than inaction…the doubts which have arisen in your heart out of ignorance should be slashed by the weapon of knowledge.” --adapted from The Bhagavad Gita iii DEDICATION I wish to express my keenest appreciation for and gratitude to Frank Capra (Caltech, 1918), whose life and work inspired me, while a student at Caltech, to become first a cineaste and then a cinema studies scholar.
