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.

As television must always create its spaces and places on the screen, what, then, is the significance of the varying emphases as well as the commonalities constructed in televisual high school settings in UK, US, and Japanese television shows? This master’s thesis considers how fictional televisual high schools both contest and construct national identity. In order to do this, it posits the existence of the televisual school story, a descendant of the literary school story. It then compares the formal and narrative ways in which Glee (2009-2015), Hex (2004-2005), and Ouran koukou hosutobu (2006) deploy space and place to create identity on the screen. In particular, it examines how heteronormativity and gender roles affect the abilities of characters to move through spaces, across boundaries, and gain secure places of their own. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents iii Acknowledgement v Introduction Orientation 1 Space and Place in Schools 5 Schools on TV 11 Schools on TV from Japan, 12 the U.S., and the U.K.

  • Executive Summary
    A p r i l 2011 2010 FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Role of the Arts in Educating America for Great Leadership and Economic Strength Consensus is building by the business, philanthropic and public policy communities that if the nation is to succeed in the 21st century global economy, an education steeped in the 4 “C’s” (Creativity, Collaboration, Communication and Critical Thinking) is not a luxury but a necessity. Missing from the consensus however, is the connection between the acquisition of these skills and the study and practice of the arts in schools. To address this challenge, 30 leaders gathered at the Sundance Resort and Preserve for the fifth annual Americans for the Arts National Arts Policy Roundtable on September 23 – 25, 2010, to discuss The Role of the Arts in Educating America for Great Leadership and Economic Strength. The convening examined how to more effectively draw the connection so leaders in business and government, as well as the general public, could be motivated to support the arts in education reform as a critical tool to our national success. Agreement on why the arts must be part of our nation’s priorities in education—and how we can make it happen— was forged by a diverse group of leaders from government, business, education and the arts. Among the organizations and agencies represented at the table included The Conference Board, the U.S. Department of Education, the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, American Express Foundation, YoungArts, The NAMM Foundation and the CAA (Creative Arts Agency) Foundation, along with artists Kerry Washington, Bob Balaban, and Ian Brennan (co-creator/writer, Glee).

Current interpretations of the theater’s economic dimensions stress the correlation between acting and vagrant labor. I build on these approaches to argue that the theater’s connection to questions of labor was far more dynamic than is often thought. In particular, I argue that a full understanding of the relationship between the theater and labor requires that we take into account the theater’s guild origins. If theatricality was often associated with features of vagrant labor, especially cony-catching and rogue duplicity, the theater also drew significantly from medieval guild practices that valued labor as a social good and a creative force.

  • Hollywood—The Power of Representation
    HOLLYWOOD—THE POWER OF REPRESENTATION MARICA ORRÙ POPMEC RESEARCH GROUP For whoever is familiar with Ryan Murphy's work since Glee (2009)—which made him famous to the big public—his new work's references to themes like discrimination and minorities' representation in the media won't be anything new. Anyway, Hollywood— landed on Netflix earlier this year with a season composed of seven episodes—is an exquisite piece of work born by the idea of reconstructing a “what if” Hollywood of the 50s. Throughout the story, fiction mixes with real events and personalities of the time, giving them different lives, stories, and even opportunities to have more relevant roles in demolishing social prejudices and stereotypes. Hollywood deals with the vicissitudes of a group of actors, directors, producers, and writers who first desperately try to have a chance of working in the big movie industry and then—after being hired by a fictional production house named Ace Studios—try to realize the first movie in history (titled Meg) with a Black leading actress, a Black homosexual writer and an half-Asian director. Meg is the story of a young actress who fails to become the star she has always wanted to be and decides to commit suicide jumping from the Hollywood sign. The movie is fictional, but based on the true story of the late actress Peg Entwistle (on the topic see Zeruk 2013). As these facts are narrated, a series of topics regarding gender, race, and sexuality related discrimination are disseminated throughout the episodes, starting with a special attention to Asian representation in Hollywood productions and the exclusion of Asian actors and actresses from leading roles, in Episode 2.
