  • Orphan Black"
    CLONING THE IDEAL? UNPACKING THE CONFLICTING IDEOLOGIES AND CULTURAL ANXIETIES IN "ORPHAN BLACK" Danielle Marie Howell A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2016 Committee: Bill Albertini, Advisor Kimberly Coates © 2016 Dani Howell All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Bill Albertini, Advisor In this project, I undertake a queer Marxist reading of the television series Orphan Black. Specifically, I investigate the portrayal of women and queer characters in order to discover the conflicting dominant and oppositional ideologies circulating in the series. Doing so allows me to reveal cultural anxieties that haunt the series even as it challenges normative power relations. I argue that while Orphan Black’s narrative subverts traditional gender roles, critiques heteronormativity, and offers sexually fluid queer characters, the series still reifies the traditionally ideal Western female body—thin, attractive, legibly gendered, and fertile. I draw on Antonio Gramsci’s theory of ideology and hegemony, Heidi Hartman’s analysis of Marxism and feminism, and Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity to unpack the series’ non-normative depiction of gender and its simultaneous reliance on a stable gender binary. I frame my argument with Todd Gitlin’s understanding of hegemony’s ability to domesticate radical ideas in television. I argue that Orphan Black imagines spaces and scenarios that offer the potential to liberate women from heteronormative expectations and limit patriarchy’s harm. The series privileges a queer female collective and envisions a world where women have freedom from normative conceptions of gender and sexuality.

  • Index to Plum Lines 1980–2020
    INDEX TO PLUM LINES 1980–2020 Guide to the Index: While there are all sorts of rules and guidelines on the subject of indexing, virtually none can be applied to the formidable task of indexing Plum Lines (and its predecessor, Comments in Passing), the quarterly journal of The Wodehouse Society, which was founded in 1980. Too many variables confront the task’s indexer—not to mention a few too many errors in how issues were numbered over the years (see Index to the Index, below). Consequently, a new sort of index has been created in such a way (we hope) as to make it as easy as possible to use. Following are some guidelines. 1. Finding what you want: Whatever you are looking for, it should be possible to find it using our handy-dandy system of cross-referencing: • SUBJECTS are in BOLD CAPS followed by a list of the relevant articles. (See the list of Subject Headings, below.) • Authors and Contributors (note that some articles have both an author and a contributor) are listed in uppercase-lowercase bold, last name first, with a list of articles following the name. • Regular columns are simply listed in bold under their own titles rather than under a subject heading. 2. Locating the listed article: Any article listed in the index is followed by a series of numbers indicating its volume number, issue number, and page number. For example, one can find articles on Across the pale parabola: 14.2.17; 15.4.13 in Volume 14, Number 2, Page 17 and Volume 15, Number 4, Page 13.

  • English Department Course Descriptions Spring 2017 Macomb
    English Department Course Descriptions Spring 2017 Macomb Campus Undergraduate Courses English Literature & Writing ENG 200 Introduction to Poetry Section 1 – Merrill Cole Aim: Marianne Moore’s famous poem, “Poetry,” begins, “I too dislike it.” Certainly many people would agree, not considering that their favorite rap or song lyric is poetry, or perhaps forgetting the healing words spoken at a grandparent’s funeral. We often turn to poetry when something happens in our lives that needs special expression, such as when we fall in love or want to speak at a public event. It is true that poems can be difficult, but they can also ring easy and true. Poems may cause us to think hard, or make us feel something deeply. This course offers a broad introduction to poetry, across time and around the globe. The emphasis falls, though, on contemporary poetry more relevant to our everyday concerns. For most of the semester, the readings are organized around formal topics, such as imagery, irony, and free verse. The course also attends to traditional verse forms, which are not only still in use, but also help us better to understand contemporary poetry. Toward the end of the semester, we shift focus to look at two important books of poetry, Frank O’Hara’s 1964 Lunch Poems and Kim Addonizio’s 2000 Tell Me. Although Marianne Moore recognizes that many people “dislike” poetry, she insists that “one discovers in / it after all, a place for the genuine.” William Carlos Williams concurs: ‘ Look at what passes for the new. You will not find it there but in despised poems.

Becoming Morse in Endeavour: the prequel as locus of reconstruction of the past? 1 Becoming Morse in Endeavour: the prequel as locus of reconstruction of the past? Armelle Parey Introduction 1 The figure of Inspector Morse first appeared in a novel by Colin Dexter, Last Bus to Woodstock, in 1975. By the time the character reached the TV screen in 1987, impersonated by John Thaw (in The Dead of Jericho), Colin Dexter (1930-2017) had already published 7 of the 12 novels he wrote in total around the figure of the grumpy opera- loving inspector. The TV adaptation, Inspector Morse, consisted in 33 films, broadcast in series or as “specials”, aired on ITV between 1987 and 2000, finishing with the adaptation of The Last Remorseful Day (1999) in which the character dies1. Following the death of John Thaw in 2002, Dexter stipulated in a clause in his will that no other actor should reprise the role2.

    'American Odyssey,' 'Last Ship,' 'Orphan Black' and more on Day 2 of Wonder-Con 04.05.2015 Day 2 of WonderCon 2015 has arrived and with it comes oodles of panels for shows about to premiere. The Last Ship (TNT) TNT joined the fray on Saturday, with banners advertising the second season of the show, as well as brand new "R U Immune 2?" t-shirts for those that attended the show's panel. TNT also released a season-two trailer on Friday. The Last Ship premieres June 28 at 9/8 c. The Messengers (CW) In Attendance: creator Eoghan O'Donnell; Executive Producer Trey Callaway; stars Jon Fletcher, Shantel VanSanten, Craig Frank, Diogo Morgado, Anna Diop, Joel Courtney and J.D. Pardo. CW's newest genre show certainly has a high concept: five different characters are given gifts and are tasked with the responsibility to prevent the end of days on Earth. Given the Easter weekend background and the appearance of angels and a Devil-like character in its pilot, it's easy to see the show's religious themes. But, Trey Callaway explains, "it's not a show about religion. It's a show about faith." Shantel VanSanten continues, "it's not about a specific faith or message, it's about coming together." This is a theme Callaway hopes can be explored "over many seasons." While The Messengers is about hope, that's not the show's main priority. "I'm a big sucker for a rollercoaster. Our first job is to entertain in a way a rollercoaster does.

  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2015
    Jan 15 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 161st birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 7 to Jan. 11. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at Annie Moore's, and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morn- ing, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was Alan Bradley, co-author of MS. HOLMES OF BAKER STREET (2004), and author of the award-winning "Flavia de Luce" series; the title of his talk was "Ha! The Stars Are Out and the Wind Has Fallen" (his paper will be published in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal). The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's Restaurant was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton and An- drew Joffe) entertained the audience with an updated version of "The Sher- lock Holmes Cable Network" (2000). The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber), which honors the most whimsical piece in The Ser- pentine Muse last year: the winner (Jenn Eaker) received a certificate and a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17. And Otto Penzler's traditional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportunities to browse and buy.

  • Index to Wooster Sauceand by The
    Index to Wooster Sauce and By The Way 1997–2020 Guide to this Index This index covers all issues of Wooster Sauce and By The Way published since The P G Wodehouse Society (UK) was founded in 1997. It does not include the special supplements that were produced as Christmas bonuses for renewing members of the Society. (These were the Kid Brady Stories (seven instalments), The Swoop (seven instalments), and the original ending of Leave It to Psmith.) It is a very general index, in that it covers authors and subjects of published articles, but not details of article contents. (For example, the author Will Cuppy (a contemporary of PGW’s) is mentioned in several articles but is only included in the index when an article is specifically about him.) The index is divided into three sections: I. Wooster Sauce and By The Way Subject Index Page 1 II. Wooster Sauce and By The Way Author Index Page 34 III. By The Way Issues in Number Order Page 52 In the two indexes, the subject or author (given in bold print) is followed by the title of the article; then, in bold, either the issue and page number, separated by a dash (for Wooster Sauce); or ‘BTW’ and its issue number, again separated by a dash. For example, 1-1 is Wooster Sauce issue 1, page 1; 20-12 is issue 20, page 12; BTW-5 is By The Way issue 5; and so on. See the table on the next page for the dates of each Wooster Sauce issue number, as well as any special supplements.
