Publicity photo: the housewife diva, 3 July 1965 (Alamy) i Abstract The Australian soprano Marie Collier (1927-1971) is generally remembered for two things: for her performance of the title role in Puccini’s Tosca, especially when she replaced the controversial singer Maria Callas at late notice in 1965; and her tragic death in a fall from a window at the age of forty-four. The focus on Tosca, and the mythology that has grown around the manner of her death, have obscured Collier’s considerable achievements. She sang traditional repertoire with great success in the major opera houses of Europe, North and South America and Australia, and became celebrated for her pioneering performances of twentieth-century works now regularly performed alongside the traditional canon. Collier’s experiences reveal much about post-World War II Australian identity and cultural values, about the ways in which the making of opera changed throughout the world in the 1950s and 1960s, and how women negotiated their changing status and prospects through that period. She exercised her profession in an era when the opera industry became globalised, creating and controlling an image of herself as the ‘housewife-diva’, maintaining her identity as an Australian artist on the international scene, and developing a successful career at the highest level of her artform while creating a fulfilling home life. This study considers the circumstances and mythology of Marie Collier’s death, but more importantly shows her as a woman of the mid-twentieth century navigating the professional and personal spheres to achieve her vision of a life that included art, work and family.

  • Obamacare, the News Media, and the Politics of 21St-Century Presidential Communication
    International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 1275–1299 1932–8036/20150005 Obamacare, the News Media, and the Politics of 21st-Century Presidential Communication JENNIFER HOPPER1 Washington College, USA Studies of presidential framing and the media lead to contrary expectations of whether the president would be able to reframe a pejorative name for a major legislative achievement and alter its news coverage. The case of President Obama and the use of the term “Obamacare” to refer to the Affordable Care Act requires rethinking what we know about presidential communication strategies and contemporary news norms. Obama’s embrace of the Obamacare moniker spread among supporters and led to its appearance with more positive/neutral depictions of the policy in the media. The term also has become more prominent in the news over time, raising questions about loosening standards of news objectivity and the future of this contested term. Keywords: presidency, news media, Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, presidential communication U.S. presidents face formidable challenges in attempting to frame policies and shape political debates, particularly in the 21st-century media environment. Given that presidential attempts to positively frame their positions for the media and the public require substantial time and effort with no guarantee of success, working to co-opt and reframe the established language of the president’s opponents is an even more daunting project. Yet this is precisely the endeavor President Barack Obama and his surrogates embarked on in late March 2012, when they embraced the term “Obamacare” and sought to use it in service of promoting and defending the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.

  • Hollywood Representations of the Suburban Housewife, 1960-1975
    Big Screen, Little Boxes: Hollywood Representations of the Suburban Housewife, 1960-1975 Kara Peruccio Wake Forest University 55 Following the post-World War II flight from the city to the suburbs, Hollywood frequently produced films representing life in the suburbs during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The female roles restricted actresses to play sweet, feminine housewives, often lacking interests outside the home. The publication of Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique in 1963 provided at least one forum for a discussion of the middle-class housewife’s inner secrets: boredom, disappointment, and loneliness. Studios, however, ignored new gender developments in society until 1967 when some movies started to portray housewives rebelling against their suburban surroundings: women having affairs, seeking therapy (whether with a psychiatrist or a bottle of vodka), and experiencing mental breakdowns. Films attempted to articulate women’s frustrations but often failed to provide prescriptions for the housewives’ turmoil. These movies presented new views with women questioning their societal roles as opposed to following traditional models from the 1950s and early 1960s. By the mid-1970s, some movies openly discussed feminist goals and issues, presenting women’s concerns to a wide audience. These changes culminated in 1975 when The Stepford Wives infuriated feminists and signaled the decline of housewife-focused films. These suburban stories faded into the background of Hollywood despite enjoying financial and critical success. From 1960 to 1975, Hollywood belatedly tried to address the issues and concerns of the suburban housewife by breaking away from stereotypes perpetuated in earlier domestic humor roles, but ultimately forcing these women into suburban boxes.
