  • Vintage Costumes of Burlesque Press Release FINAL
    150 STANIFORD STREET, SUITE 7, BOSTON, MA 02114 New Exhibit Celebrates the Glory Days of Boston’s Burlesque Era FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 30, 2012 Boston, MA—On Tuesday, April 10, the West End Museum will present Vintage Costumes of Burlesque in partnership with The Great Burlesque Exposition. The exhibit, which runs through May 12 in the Museum’s Members Gallery, commemorates Boston’s burlesque era and “The Old Howard” through displays of vintage costumes, ephemera and memorabilia. Mina Murray, New England’s leading burlesque performer and headmistress of The Boston Academy of Burlesque Education, curates the show. Concurrent programs include a ladies-only burlesque dancing workshop and a fundraising event featuring live music from the John Licata Sextet and performances by neo-vaudevillian Kristen Minsky. (Program details appear on the following pages; download exhibit images here.) “Burlesque was an important part of the entertainment in the Old West End and Scollay Square dating back to the transition from 1920s vaudeville and playhouses like The Old Howard, so we definitely wanted to capture and incorporate that entertainment component into this show,” said West End Museum Executive Director Duane Lucia. Other highlights of the exhibit include: • Several costumes worn by Ann Corio, the burlesque star most closely associated with The Old Howard. A favorite of Harvard students, legend has it that it was said in Boston, “You can't graduate from Harvard until you've seen Ann Corio.” • A costume from the wardrobe of the international queen of burlesque, Dita Von Teese, who is world renowned for her elaborate costumes and lavish set pieces.

    BURLESQUE: REDEFINING THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN An analysis of burlesque subcultural style and its potential to create alternative social roles for women LAUREN VASSALLO A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF DESIGN (HONOURS) UNSW ART & DESIGN MARCH 2015 1 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Vassallo First name: Lauren Other name/s: Fay Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: MDes (Hons) School: Design Faculty: UNSW Art & Design Title: Burlesque: Redefining the Representation of Women. An Analysis of burlesque subcultural style and its potential to create alternative social roles women. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis explores the expression of women’s social roles in burlesque subculture in Sydney, Australia, between 2010 and 2015. The analysis reflects on the gender roles available to women in burlesque via bricolage, described by media theorist and sociologist Dick Hebdige, and on twenty-first-century subcultural fashion in relation to gender, as discussed by Theresa Winge, Claire Nally and Helen Reddington. Resurgence in the popularity of burlesque in Sydney since 2005 has generated new questions about gender roles available to women. Through my case study of burlesque performers and my experimentation with fashion silhouettes in use in Sydney’s burlesque scene, I contribute to this debate and explore the ways in which bricolage explains previously overlooked aspects of burlesque adaptations of gender stereotypes in a contemporary context. Declaration relating to disposition of project thesis/dissertation I hereby grant to the University of New South Wales or its agents the right to archive and to make available my thesis or dissertation in whole or in part in the University libraries in all forms of media, now or here after known, subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968.

  • Thesis Grace Carrington 2019 Final Copy
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Non-Sovereign States in the Era of Decolonisation: Politics, Nationalism and Assimilation in French and British Caribbean Territories, 1945-1980 Grace Carrington A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, July 2019 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 83332 words. 2 Abstract Non-independent territories today account for more than half the states in the Caribbean but regional and global histories of the twentieth century tend to exclude them from narratives of protest and change. This thesis addresses this gap. Using the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Martinique and Guadeloupe as case studies, it argues that a focus on the processes of decolonisation in these non-sovereign states reveals features common to the global experience of twentieth century decolonisation elsewhere.
