Though he started playing without any formal training, Patrick Bartley, an undergraduate at Man- hattan School of Music, attributes elementary-school exposure to a wide range of performing arts with pre- paring him for success in music. Early in his life, he gravitated toward visual arts and developed a passion for drawing, but after he picked up the clarinet, he was subtly pushed toward music as his primary path. Bartley said he “started getting serious” about the clarinet at age 9. “I got serious about the instrument because I liked it, not because I wanted to be a professional mu- sician,” Bartley said. The studious Bartley—who won this year for a solo on alto saxophone—said the notion of him playing as a professional didn’t even enter his mind until late in high school, when he participated in the Grammy jazz band program. In that atmosphere, he realized there were students his age who were also dedicated to jazz and had professional aspirations. “I saw that there were people who were way Patrick Bartley more serious than I was,” he recalled. “I felt like I was new to the game.” Alto saxophonist Zoe Obadia, a 17-year-old se- nior at Glen Ridge High School in New Jersey, is quite accustomed to the jazz game, having picked up the saxophone at age 8. Obadia, who plans to continue her studies at The Juilliard School this fall, said she first fell in love with music as a young girl, BRIAN HATTON picking up the sounds of jazz from her father, a gui- tar teacher.

Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2017 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH THE KENNETH P. DIETRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Gordon Sullivan It was defended on October 20, 2017 and approved by Marcia Landy, Distinguished Professor, Department of English Jennifer Waldron, Associate Professor, Department of English Daniel Morgan, Associate Professor, Department of Cinema and Media Studies, University of Chicago Dissertation Advisor: Adam Lowenstein, Professor, Department of English ii Copyright © by Gordon Sullivan 2017 iii “NO REASON TO BE SEEN”: CINEMA, EXPLOITATION, AND THE POLITICAL Gordon Sullivan, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2017 This dissertation argues that we can best understand exploitation films as a mode of political cinema. Following the work of Peter Brooks on melodrama, the exploitation film is a mode concerned with spectacular violence and its relationship to the political, as defined by French philosopher Jacques Rancière. For Rancière, the political is an “intervention into the visible and sayable,” where members of a community who are otherwise uncounted come to be seen as part of the community through a “redistribution of the sensible.” This aesthetic rupture allows the demands of the formerly-invisible to be seen and considered. We can see this operation at work in the exploitation film, and by investigating a series of exploitation auteurs, we can augment our understanding of what Rancière means by the political.
