German Actresses of the 2000S – a Study of Female Representation, Acting and Stardom
German Actresses of the 2000s – A Study of Female Representation, Acting and Stardom Verena von Eicken Doctor of Philosophy University of York Theatre, Film and Television September 2014 Abstract This thesis centres on four German actresses active from the year 2000: Nina Hoss, Sandra Hüller, Sibel Kekilli and Diane Kruger. These performers have embodied a range of multifaceted female characters, as well as offering insightful representations of ‛Germanness’ at home and abroad. Their films are emblematic of the revival of German cinema in the 2000s, which has seen the proliferation of commercially successful historical dramas and the emergence of the critically lauded Berlin School art film movement. This research seeks to contribute to German film studies by considering the role actresses have played in the context of the resurging German cinema of the new millennium. The four actresses are discussed both in terms of the female representations offered by their films, and as performers and stars. The films of Nina Hoss, Sandra Hüller and Sibel Kekilli explore the particular social, political and cultural circumstances of women in contemporary Germany, such as the ramifications of reunification and a changing economic order, the persistent female inequality in the workplace and the family, and the nationally specific conception of the mother role. Contributing to the study of film acting and performance, analyses of the four actresses’ performances are conducted to demonstrate how they enhance the films. Analysing and comparing the work of actresses from the 1920s until the present day, a German screen acting tradition is identified that is characterised by the actresses’ maintenance of a critical distance to the character they portray: female performers working across different decades share a stilted, non-naturalistic acting style, which imbues their characters with a sense of mastery and counteracts their frequent experience of oppression or objectification.

Representations of the Soul in Contemporary Vampire Film and Television
THE MORAL UNDEAD: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE SOUL IN CONTEMPORARY VAMPIRE FILM AND TELEVISION Emma Somogyi M.A.App.Ling (TESOL); G.Dip.Ed (Sp.Nds); B.A; Cert IV Proj.Man. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Media, Entertainment, and Creative Arts: Film & Screen Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology 2017 Keywords Soul, vampire, personhood, undead, horror film, horror television, horror cinema, humanity, morality, Twilight, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries The Moral Undead: Representations of the soul in contemporary vampire film and television i Abstract The vampire was introduced to the cinema in the early 1920s and has become a popular and prevalent character in both cinematic and televised forms. In film studies, it is widely recognised that the vampire has traditionally been represented as a monster embodying the societal anxieties of particular times—as Auerbach notes, ‘every age embraces the vampire it needs’ (1995, 145). However, at various times in film history, and in its literary, televisual and cinematic forms, the vampire has also been represented as a sympathetic and reluctant creature—as Smith explains, this depiction encourages viewers to align with the vampire character (1995, 83). Since the early 2000s, there has been a marked shift in how the vampire is represented; since the 2008 release of The Twilight Saga films (Hardwicke 2008; Weitz 2009; Slade 2010; Condon 2011, 2012) in particular, numerous films and television shows have portrayed the vampire as a character that exhibits increasingly human-like traits. Precursors to the post-millennial vampire include the vampires Angel and Spike, the protagonists (and sometimes antagonists) of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Whedon 1997-2003) and Angel (Whedon and Greenwalt 1999- 2004), who were portrayed as having souls, and many plotlines from both series revolved around this notion.
