    THE WORD MADE CINEMATIC: THE REPRESENTATION OF JESUS IN CINEMA by Gregory Kahlil Kareem Allen B.A. Film Studies, University of Pittsburgh, 1997 M.A. English Literature, University of Pittsburgh, 2002 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2008 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Gregory Kahlil Kareem Allen It was defended on April 24, 2008 and approved by Adam Lowenstein, Associate Professor, Department of English Troy Boone, Associate Professor, Department of English Vernell A. Lillie, Professor Emeritus, Department of Africana Studies Dissertation Chair/Advisor: Marcia Landy, Distinguished Service Professor, Department of English ii Copyright © by Gregory Kahlil Kareem Allen 2008 iii The Word Made Cinematic: The Representation of Jesus in Cinema Gregory Kahlil Kareem Allen, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2008 Marking the invention of cinema as a point of entry and consequent filmic narratives about Jesus as aesthetic documents, this study will demonstrate how movie-going, due to its similarity to the devotional exercise of “worship” and the motion picture’s continual co-option for perceived religious purposes as readily indicated by the recent reception of The Passion of the Christ, complicates what otherwise might be the obvious distinction between the sacred and the profane. Examining the way in which the spectator is prompted by certain traditions of cinematic language and interpretation, this dissertation demonstrates how the representation of the Jesus in cinema must by definition always insinuate the sacrosanct, even if the symbol or image is presented in a context perceived to be secular.

  • LONGACRE THEATER, 220-228 West 48Th Street , Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 8, 1987; Designation List 197 LP-1348 LONGACRE THEATER, 220-228 West 48th Street , Manhattan. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1019, Lot 50. Built 1912-13; architect, Henry B. Herts. On June 14 and 15, 1982 , the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a pub 1 ic hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Longacre Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No.44). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Longacre Theater survives today as one of the historic playhouses that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Constructed in 1912-13, the Longacre was built to house the productions of Broadway producer and baseball magnate Harry H. Frazee . Designed for Frazee by Henry Herts, prominent theater architect, the Longacre is among the earliest surviving Broadway theaters, and has an exceptionally handsome facade. Like most Broadway playhouses built before World War I, the Longacre was designed by a leading theater architect to house the offices and theatrical productions of its owner. Though known as a baseball magnate, and at one time the owner of the Boston Red Sox, Frazee was also an influential Broadway producer who, besides building the Longacre theater, at one time also owned two other Broadway houses (the Harris and the Lyric).

INTRODUCTION The year 1929 remains indelibly imprinted in the minds of millions of Americans as the year of the great stock market crash. To most, American society would never again be the same. 1929 was also an important year in the history of popular culture in that the Academy Awards were presented for the first time; Station WGY in Schenectady, New York, was the first to broadcast a regular television schedule; the infamous but popular Amos N' Andy radio show made its national premiere; and American cinema began production of its first portrayal of a fictional woman attorney. A crash of another sort, the introduction of the motion picture industry's first big-screen "lady lawyers," irreversibly changed the face of the lawyer-courtroom film genre.

A series of eight 14-foot towers held 84 RCA VideoDisc players in the largest demonstration ever of the new medium that provides picture and sound on a disc. Eight demonstration areas for public access to the RCA player were also part of the display. The programming material to be available in RCA's opening catalog was displayed on television screens connected to the VideoDisc players. Two pylons billboarded the VideoDisc which included movies, family entertainment, classics and special interest programs. The RCA "SelectaVision" VideoDisc system will be introduced by 5,000 television dealers in a National Demonstration Week beginning March 22. The optional retail price of RCA's initial player will be $499.95. The national introduction of "the most important new consumer electronic product since color television will mark the beginning of a true personal video communications business," Jack K.

Staiger, Supervisor Mary C. Kearney Thomas Schatz S. Craig Watkins Stacy Wolf Tough Guys, Rock Stars, and Messiahs: Genre and Gender in the Hollywood Musical, 1966-1983 by Kelly Kay Kessler, B.A, M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2004 Dedication To Liz, for getting it Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my parents for their love and support and for pretending that they thought what I was doing was interesting. This dissertation would have never been produced without the repeated family viewings of The Sound of Music and The Wizard of Oz or the countless trips to the St. Louis MUNY to catch Joe Namath in Li’l Abner or Vanessa Redgrave in The King and I. My love and affection for the musical was instilled early and carried me through this project. I would also like to thank my brother Greg for his obsessive-compulsive tendencies which he channeled into various types of research assistance. His inability to leave a stone unturned and his support of my work were at times the push I needed. This project would not have been possible without the support of my faculty.

Examining the way in which the spectator is prompted by certain traditions of cinematic language and interpretation, this dissertation demonstrates how the representation of the Jesus in cinema must by definition always insinuate the sacrosanct, even if the symbol or image is presented in a context perceived to be secular.
