    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Misery is the True Script for Comedy: A Study of Italian Film Comedy in the 1950s A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Christopher Burton White 2014 © Copyright by Christopher Burton White 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Misery is the True Script for Comedy: A Study of Italian Film Comedy in the 1950s by Christopher Burton White Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Thomas J. Harrison, Chair This dissertation fills a lacuna in the history of Italian cinema, formally analyzes a selection of significant film comedies from the 1950s, and challenges many of the assumptions that have been made about postWar Italian cinema. The conservative atmosphere of the fifties, the detrimental effects of censorship on Italian cinema, and the return of popular genres after the end of the widely-acclaimed neorealist period have led to assumptions about a limited engagement With contemporary Italian society in the motion pictures produced in Italy during the 1950s. While most critics and film historians vieW these years in Italian cinema as the disappointing aftermath of neorealism, a decade in Which conservative elements in Italian society pushed national cinema in the direction of facile optimism and escapism, this dissertation demonstrates that many comedies in fact engaged with Italian society, ii offering incisive critiques of contemporary Italy that pinpoint and satirize hypocrisy, inequality, and a host of other ills of the Italian republic in the 1950s. This study considers existing scholarship on Italian cinema and reevaluates films starring the popular Neapolitan actor Antonio De Curtis (Totò), Renato Castellani’s Due soldi di speranza (Two Cents Worth of Hope, 1952) and other examples of neorealismo rosa (rosy or pink neorealism), and the movies directed by Federico Fellini featuring Alberto Sordi, both in terms of aesthetics as well as subject matter.

    Death on the Mississippi, an Archetypal Analysis Of

    DEATH ON THE MISSISSIPPI, AN ARCHETYPAL ANALYSIS OF HARK TWAIN'S HUCKLEBERRY FINN A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of English Kansas State Teachers College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Robert Greg-ory 1-atterson July 197J PREFACE Actual and metaphorical deaths recur frequently in Twain's Huckleberry Finn. However, the patterns of these death incidents are not so easily deciphered as one might expect, for while there are indeed many deaths in Huckle­ berry Finn, to study everyone in detail would not necessarily prove that death itself is an important motif in the work. When one examines the circumstances sur­ rounding these deaths, however, a number of distinct and rather curious, even bizarre, patterns appear. It seems that a surprising number of deaths in Huckleberry Finn are accompanied by superstitious ritual, grotesque social pro­ tocol, and/or graphic demonstrations of the awesome power of natural forces. These deaths assume many forms; some are human demises, some are non-human expirations, and many are purely fie-urative "deaths." The theory posited here is not entirely new, nor is it without critical precedent and support. Richard P. Adams, 1n his "Introduction to Hark Twain" in American Literary Masters, sees the pattern of death and rebirth as the largest struc­ tural element in Huckleberry Finn. Bernard DeVoto, in ~ T\vain at \~ork, recognizes the death imagery in Huckleberry Finn as evidence of Twain's death-oriented thinking and observes that additional critical research must be conducted "to determine why death, the images and humors and disgusts 11 of death, the fear of death, and the threat of death colored his phantasy from childhood on." Selected death-incidents in Twain's life which might have influenced his art will be mentioned in this study, but the major focus \iill be upon an examination of and evaluation of recurrent death patterns in Hucl<leberry Finn, based on a Juneian archetypal critical approach.

We need efficient methods of protection in large homogenous environments. How do you get smart people with divergent ideas moving in the same direction on information security? Do the following: strategic alignment, risk management on all issues, provide value - reduce support costs, enhance competitive stance, assure success of strategy deployment resource management - people, technology, process assurance process integration - get connected and involved with other security groups in your enterprise. Performance measures - Did we do what we set out to do, does the data indicate we should be doing something else? Multiuse of metrics.

Pizza after talk in Darwin 28 FEB. 18 John Davis, Microsoft Research, Mountain View BEE3: Silly Putty for Computer Scientists! Parallel computing for the masses has arrived. Unfortunately, software, tools, research, and pedagogy are lagging behind with only niche successful parallel applications existing, print statements still being used for debugging, research limited to using existing platforms, and few colleges and universities offering parallel programming and computer architecture classes for undergraduates. Let me present BEE3, the Berkeley Emulation Engine, version 3. BEE3 is a reconfigurable computing platform that we are using to target three main research areas: Computer Architecture, Systems, and Application Acceleration. Using these examples, I will demonstrate how we are using reconfigurable computing systems to help build parallel software and tools, conduct fundamental research, and provide a pedagogical platform.

    1 No Laughter Among Thieves

    1 No Laughter Among Thieves: Authenticity and Norm Enforcement in Stand-Up Comedy Patrick Reilly UC Irvine, Paul Merage School of Business SB2 321 4293 Pereira Drive Irvine, CA 92697 [email protected] Acknowledgements: I would like to thank Gabriel Rossman, Lynne Zucker, Noah Askin, Clayton Childress, Frederic Godart, David Halle, Minjae Kim, Sharon Koppman, Kyle Nelson, Gerardo Okhuysen, Michael Siciliano, Edward Walker, and Ezra Zuckerman Sivan for their constructive comments, thoughtful advice, and kind support on this research and manuscript. An earlier version of this manuscript was presented at the 2015 Academy of Management Conference. Funding: I did not receive any grants or funding for this research. Keywords: social norms, authenticity, informal institutions, ethnography, cultural industries WORKING PAPER UNDER REVIEW: PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE WITHOUT PREMISSION 2 Abstract: Why may observers label an individual’s questionable act as a discreditable norm transgression, while they may ignore or excuse similar behaviors by others? To explain such inconsistency, I explore the case of joke theft through participant-observation data on stand-up comics in Los Angeles. Informal, community-based systems govern property rights covering jokes. Most cases that could constitute joke theft are ambiguous, because of the possibility of parallel thought. I find that insiders’ accusations are loosely coupled to similarity. Instead, enforcement more reflects how much insiders regard an individual as authentic to the community. Observers account of a possible transgressor’s backstage behaviors and technical expertise to discern if a transgression occurred. Comics with a track record of anti-social behavior, external reward orientation, and lackluster on-stage craft are vulnerable to accusations for even borderline acts, because these qualities conform with shared pattern of a transgressor.
