  • How American Idol Constructs Celebrity, Collective Identity, and American Discourses
    AMERICAN IDEAL: HOW AMERICAN IDOL CONSTRUCTS CELEBRITY, COLLECTIVE IDENTITY, AND AMERICAN DISCOURSES A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Amanda Scheiner McClain May, 2010 i © Copyright 2010 by Amanda Scheiner McClain All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a three-pronged study examining American themes, celebrity, and collective identity associated with the television program American Idol. The study includes discourse analyses of the first seven seasons of the program, of the season seven official American Idol message boards, and of the 2002 and 2008 show press coverage. The American themes included a rags-to-riches narrative, archetypes, and celebrity. The discourse-formed archetypes indicate which archetypes people of varied races may inhabit, who may be sexual, and what kinds of sexuality are permitted. On the show emotional exhibitions, archetypal resonance, and talent create a seemingly authentic celebrity while discourse positioning confirms this celebrity. The show also fostered a complication-free national American collective identity through the show discourse, while the online message boards facilitated the formation of two types of collective identities: a large group of American Idol fans and smaller contestant-affiliated fan groups. Finally, the press coverage study found two overtones present in the 2002 coverage, derision and awe, which were absent in the 2008 coverage. The primary reasons for this absence may be reluctance to criticize an immensely popular show and that the American Idol success was no longer surprising by 2008. By 2008, American Idol was so ingrained within American culture that to deride it was to critique America itself.

    HAMLET’S COMPULSIVE REVISIONS IN FILM, TELEVISION, AND SOCIAL MEDIA By KRISTIN N. DENSLOW A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2014 © 2014 Kristin N. Denslow To Amelia, lover-of-the-gardens, who reminds me of now and now and now ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I thank my committee for supporting my work, even when that required a cross-country move and advising via email. I thank my chair, Richard Burt, whose work in Shakespeare, film, and media inspired me as an undergraduate to pursue my own work in these fields; Terry Harpold, whose feedback and close editing were of great help in the final stages of writing; Al Shoaf, whose rigorous scholarship and teaching inspire me; and Eric Kligerman, for taking a chance on a graduate student whom he had never met. I would also like to thank the network of friends, colleagues, and mentors who have gotten me to this stage: Monique Pittman for introducing me to Shakespeare and film and encouraging me to pursue graduate education; Vanessa Corredera for always staying a year ahead of me and showing me the ropes of graduate school and the job market; Gwen Tarbox for mentoring me throughout my MA; Tony Ellis for being above all kind, generous, and supportive of graduate students—may you rest in peace; and beloved colleagues from Andrews University, Western Michigan University, and the University of Florida for their advice, encouragement, and conversation: Adrienne Redding, Renee Lee Gardner, Mick Teti-Beaudin, Rebekah Fitzsimmons, Rex Krueger, Matthew Snyder, and James Newlin.
