  • 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.

  • 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.

  • American Odyssey,' 'Last Ship,' 'Orphan Black' and More on Day 2 of Wonder-Con
    '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.

  • KILLING BONO a Nick Hamm Film
    KILLING BONO A Nick Hamm Film Production Notes Due for Release in UK: 1st April 2011 Running Time: 114 mins Killing Bono | Production Notes Press Quotes: Short Synopsis: KILLING BONO is a rock n’ roll comedy about two Irish brothers struggling to forge their path through the 1980’s music scene… whilst the meteoric rise to fame of their old school pals U2 only serves to cast them deeper into the shadows. Long Synopsis: Neil McCormick (Ben Barnes) always knew he’d be famous. A young Irish songwriter and budding genius, nothing less than a life of rock n’ roll stardom will do. But there’s only room for one singer in school band The Hype and his friend Paul’s already bagged the job. So Neil forms his own band with his brother Ivan (Robert Sheehan), determined to leave The Hype in his wake. There’s only one problem: The Hype have changed their name. To ‘U2’. And Paul (Martin McCann) has turned into ‘Bono’. Naturally there’s only one option for Neil: become bigger than U2. The brothers head to London in their quest for fame, but they are blighted by the injustices of the music industry, and their every action is dwarfed by the soaring success of their old school rivals. Then, just as they land some success of their own, Ivan discovers the shocking truth behind Neil’s rivalry with U2, and it threatens to destroy everything. As his rock n’ roll dream crashes and burns, Neil feels like his failure is directly linked to Bono’s success.

  • Short-Term Fate of Rehabilitated Orphan Black Bears Released in New Hampshire

Box 37, Lyme, NH 03768, USA Abstract: We evaluated the release of rehabilitated, orphan black bears (Ursus americanus) in northern New Hampshire. Eleven bears (9 males, 2 females; 40–45 kg) were outfi tted with GPS radio-collars and released during May and June of 2011 and 2012. Bears released in 2011 had higher apparent survival and were not observed or reported in any nuisance behavior, whereas no bears released in 2012 survived, and all were involved in minor nuisance behavior. Analysis of GPS locations indicated that bears in 2011 had access to and used abundant natural forages or habitat. Conversely, abundance of soft and hard mast was lower in 2012, suggesting that nuisance behavior, and consequently survival, was inversely related to availability of natural forage. Dispersal from the release site ranged from 3.4–73 km across both years, and no bear returned to the rehabilitation facility (117 km distance). Rehabilitation appears to be a valid method for addressing certain orphan bear issues in New Hampshire.

    WCU ENGLISH DEPARTMENT SUMMER READING & VIEWING LIST: Faculty Picks 2015 This annual list presents suggestions for summer reading/viewing from individual faculty of the West Chester University English Department. You can also find this list & its predecessors at http://www.wcupa.edu/_academics/sch_cas.eng/facultyPicks.aspx. Book, podcast, film, site: Recommender: 20 Feet From Stardom Maureen McVeigh Trainor Morgan Neville, Director They sing your favorite songs, but you’ve probably never heard of them. This film highlights the backup singers of some of the most iconic American bands and the stark contrast of their lives to those of the famous musicians. Exploring ideas of gender, race, and economics, this film is engaging, thought-provoking, and entertaining, just like the music it includes. I saw this movie on a whim and have been recommending it ever since. It won an Oscar for Best Documentary and is available on Netflix. And, fellow faculty, because of this film, I learned we all have something in common with the woman who inspired the song Brown Sugar as she is now an adjunct professor of languages. 99% Invisible Rodney Mader http://99percentinvisible.org The title comes from a quotation by Buckminster Fuller about the unseen centrality of design to human lives: "Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable.” A favorite of Ira Glass and the Radiolab team, the production values are excellent, and the stories are cocktail party gold. Recent shows cover the popularity of the Portland airport’s carpet design; the introduction of palm trees to Los Angeles; an electric bulb that has been continuously operating for 113 years; and how you can always tell what used to be a Pizza Hut.

As the camera skitters madly through a series of fractured images – bloodstained bandages on the countertop, bloodstained gloves holding rubbing alcohol, bloodstained boots and bloodstained skin – the scene echoes with the soundtrack’s mechanical screeches and a woman’s labored gasps of pain. The woman in question is invisible to the audience, at least as a whole body; she is fractured – inhuman – monstrous. The scene blurs and shifts, irrationally, and at last the camera focuses on the woman’s mouth. All she says: “I’m not Beth.” So that is the entirety of her identity: what it is that she is not. Female monsters are defined by their unpredictability, their inability to suit a clear definition.
