  • Kemo Sabe Tonto As a Developing Construction of the Indian Character Type
    Kemo Sabe Tonto as a developing construction of the Indian character type. Nicholas William Moll Bachelor of Arts – Professional Writing & Editing (Honours) Submitted in total for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Faculty of Education and Arts Federation University Australia PO Box 664 University Drive, Mount Helen Ballarat, Victoria 3353 Australia Submitted in the month of December, 2014 Statement of Authorship ii Summary At the opening of each episode of The Lone Ranger radio series, audiences are invited to “return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear”. From 1933 through to 2013 productions of The Lone Ranger media franchise have continued to extend this invitation. The evocation of the past through The Lone Ranger franchise includes Tonto: the masked man’s Indian1 sidekick. Tonto has remained an element of the franchise since the inception of The Lone Ranger and the development of Tonto presents an intriguing map of changing Indian characterization across the twentieth-century. This study argues that Tonto has developed as the masked man’s foil to incorporate colonial violence and Anglo-American culpability into The Lone Ranger narratives. In doing so, this thesis notes that Tonto’s assimilation within narratives of The Lone Ranger can be read like a parable, presenting a model of appropriate social responses for the interrelation of races through the masked man and Tonto’s partnership. The structure and style of Tonto’s assimilation develops gradually in the franchise over the course of the twentieth-century. Initially Tonto’s assimilation suggested a Romanticized future for the Indian following colonization. However, later productions of The Lone Ranger juxtapose assimilation with extermination.

  • SPECIAL SUMMER ISSUE FEATURING SOUND EFFECTS Welcome to Our First Special Issue of ‘The Old Radio Times’
    THE OLD RADIO TIMES The Official Publication of the Old Time Radio Researchers www.otrr.org 2182 Subscribers [email protected] SPECIAL SUMMER ISSUE FEATURING SOUND EFFECTS Welcome to our first special issue of ‘The Old Radio Times’.
