I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

  • An Empirical Evaluation of Semantic Relatedness Measures
    ABSTRACT AN EMPIRICAL EVALUATION OF SEMANTIC SIMILARITY MEASURES USING THE WORDNET AND UMLS ONTOLOGIES by Youbo Wang Ontologies have been promoted as a sound basis for communications of Semantic Web, the next generation of the Web. The proliferation of multiple ontologies for heterogeneous information systems developed independently, however, requires tools to enable semantic interoperability established by discovering semantically appropriate mappings between different and independent ontologies. Finding this mapping requires some notion of a measure of semantic relatedness between concepts. Numerous such measures have been proposed for use within an ontology. The evaluation of these measures has been done predominately through experiments using these measures on word pairs from the WordNet ontology. The results are then compared to human judgments on these same pairs. In this work, an experimental software testbed that implements the semantic relatedness measures and automates their performance testing is developed to evaluate the validity, performance and applicability of these measures on two very different ontologies, WordNet and Unified Medical Language System (UMLS).

Kurt Hummel’s Language Features in Glee Television Series Season 1: A Sociolinguistic Analysis. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Sanata Dharma University. The use of language by individuals is influenced by many factors. Gender is one factor that influences the use of language. In this research, gender is seen to be different from sex. It is seen as a social construction rather than as a fixed category. As a result, women and men do not stick to one language style but change it based on their social context. Therefore, the researcher was interested in analyzing the women’s language used by a feminine man named Kurt Hummel in Glee Television Series Season 1. In conducting the research, a research question was formulated: What women’s language features does Kurt Hummel use in his speech in Glee Television Series Season 1? The research was qualitative research in which discourse analysis was employed to analyze the data.

  • Glee and the “Ghosting” of the Musical Theatre Canon
    89 Barrie Gelles Graduate Center, City University of New York, US Glee and the “Ghosting” of the Musical Theatre Canon The most recent, successful intersection of media culture and the Broadway musical is the run-away hit Glee. Although Glee features other music genres as often as it does songs from the musical theatre canon, the use of the latter genre offers a particularly interesting opportunity for analysis as it blends two forms of popular culture: the Broadway musical and a hit television show. Applying the concept of “ghosting,” as defined in Marvin Carlson’s The Haunted Stage, I propose that the use of the musical theatre canon in Glee can sometimes offer a more complex reading of a given plot point and/or of character development. This inquiry will consider where the ghosting of the original Broadway musical enhances plot and character within Glee, and where it fails to do so. What is there to gain from doubled layers of implications when these songs are performed? What is risked by ignoring the “ghosts” of musicals past? Finally, and tangentially related, how is Glee reframing the consumption of musical theatre? Barrie Gelles is a fellowship student in the PhD Program in Theatre at The Graduate Center at CUNY. She completed her Masters, in Theatre, at Hunter College and has a BA from Sarah Lawrence College. In addition to Barrie’s scholarly pursuits, she directs theatre throughout New York City. Alright guys, we’re doing a new number for sectionals. I know that pop songs have sort of been our signature pieces, but I did a little research on past winners and it turns out that judges like songs that are more accessible, stuff they know, standards, Broadway.
