  • Call Me Queer
    Call Me Queer: Queer theory and the Soundtrack of Call Me by Your Name ​ Zora van Harten 4246551 dr. Floris Schuiling bachelor thesis MU3V14004 Musicology University of Utrecht Word count: 5559 Introduction In a culture that classifies the world through binary categories, entities that fall in between those 1 categories are often subjected to fear and anxiety. It is therefore no surprise that two subjects as fluid, undefinable and abstract as music and queer identities both have been occupying 2 controversial positions within Western history. Remarkably, both these subjects are central to the critically acclaimed film Call Me by Your Name. The film, directed by Italian director Luca ​ ​ Guadagnino, is part of his so-called “desire” film trilogy, together with earlier films Il Sono ​ L’Amore (2009) and A Bigger Splash (2015). It tells the story of a summer romance between a ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ seventeen year old boy called Elio, and Oliver, a twenty-eight year old scholar who is invited to work on his doctoral thesis while staying in Elio’s parents’ summer house in Italy. Its narrative features a nuanced and fluid, and therefore queer conception of desire and sexuality; the characters stay out of defined categories through the ambiguous meaning of the film’s dialogue and their sexual identities. In this film, music takes on a remarkable position. Elio uses music to express the multiple outlets regarding his desire for Oliver. Moreover, the songs, and piano works of the soundtrack are often combined with the relatively loud presence of sounds such as the movement of water, crickets or the wind rushing through the trees which could point towards a more affective experience of sound for the audience.

  • A Musicological and Theological Analysis of Sufjan Stevens's Song, "Christmas Unicorn"
    ABSTRACT I'm a Christmas Unicorn: A musicological and theological analysis of Sufjan Stevens's song, "Christmas Unicorn" Janna Martindale Director: Jean Boyd, Ph.D. The purpose of this thesis is to introduce the reader to Sufjan Stevens’s 2012 fifty- eight track album Silver & Gold, and specifically the final song, “Christmas Unicorn,” a twelve and half minute anti-epic pop song that starts off in a folk style and builds to an electronic, symphonic climax. The album presents many styles of Christmas songs, including Bach chorales, hymns, original songs, “Jingle Bells,” and a Prince cover. I argue that this album is a post-modern presentation demonstrating all the different expressions of Christmas are valid, no matter how commercial or humble. “Christmas Unicorn” synthesizes all these styles through the metaphor of the unicorn, which is a medieval symbol of Christ in the Nativity and the Crucifixion. Stevens uses the symbol of the unicorn to represent Christ as well as all humans and all the different attributes of Christmas.
