The years spent studying have been hard but inspiring, as I negotiated the life of a researcher with the daily struggles of having a chronic illness. This work was generated through perseverance and the continual support of the people around me. My first, and undying, gratitude to my supervisors: Associate Professor Jenny de Reuck and Doctor David Moody. Jenny, you supported me through many trials and tribulations, providing me with positivity and a safe space to express myself and try new approaches. Words cannot express my gratitude. David, your numerous edits and illuminating discussions shall remain with me, always. You kept me grounded and reminded me not to take myself too seriously. Thank you both for your patience. Secondly, I would like to thank all of the people who participated in and enriched my creative practice. To the cast and crew of 2084 (both the workshop and final product): you helped make the show what it is. To Dr Melissa Merchant I am deeply indebted for mentoring me through life as an academic and for all the good advice I promptly ignored: perhaps the next generation will be wiser.

  • MEN, MASCULINITIES and MUSICAL THEATRE By
    ‘NOT JUST FOR GAYS ANYMORE’: MEN, MASCULINITIES AND MUSICAL THEATRE by JAMES MICHAEL LOVELOCK A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

ABSTRACT This thesis explores how the changing masculinities of the 21st century have affected how young men connect to musical theatre as a genre that has been stereotypically seen as gay. The investigation is first located in the theoretical framework of masculinities, utilising the concepts of the male sex role, hegemonic masculinities and inclusive masculinity to chart how the performance of the male gender has changed over the past century. The project then adopts an empirical approach to a group of 161 men and 25 women, establishing a methodological framework for correlating sexual orientation with attitudes towards musical theatre. There is a further honing of this methodology through the adoption of Jenifer Toksvig’s The Fairytale Moment exercise, which identifies how each participant connects to narrative through a core emotional drive.

  • The American Film Musical Genre Today: a New Breed Or Just More of the Same? the Development of the American Film Musical 2000-2013
    Bachelor’s Thesis The American Film Musical Genre Today: A New Breed or Just More of the Same? The Development of the American Film Musical 2000-2013 Author: Christer Askerfjord Tutor: Elisabet Björklund Examiner: Ingrid Stigsdotter Semester: VT14 Subject: Film Studies Level: C Course: 2FV30E Abstract Since the introduction of synchronized sound at the end of the 1920s the film musical has had a special place in American film. But even with that special place the interest in the film musical has varied a lot during the 20th century. From the high interest during the “Golden Age” in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, through low interest in the following decades and then renewed interest in musicals with the animated film musicals from Disney in the 1990s. But what has happened after the millennium? Has there been any development in the American film musical genre or is it just more of the same? This thesis tries to answer the question by analyzing three successful film musicals from the period 2001-2013, Moulin Rouge! (Baz Luhrmann, 2001), The Phantom of the Opera (Joel Schumacher, 2004), and Les Misérables (Tom Hooper, 2012) and comparing them to classical traditional musicals. According to this thesis there is a split answer, some areas of the classical American film musical have developed while other areas still remains the same. Keywords American Film Musical, Hollywood Musical, Moulin Rouge!, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables Thanks To my tutor Elisabet Björklund for all help and support, to Maria for reading and commenting everything from the first draft and onwards and to Jay for the final touch.

  • Of Narration in Film of of Narration Narration in Film in Film Steps Across the Border
    HELDT GUIDO HELDT MUSIC AND LEVELS MUSIC AND LEVELS MUSIC AND LEVELS OF NARRATION AND LEVELS OF NARRATION MUSIC OF OF NARRATION NARRATION IN FILM IN FILM STEPS ACROSS THE BORDER This is the first book-length study of the narratology of film music, and an indispensable resource for anyone researching or studying film music or film narratology. It surveys the so far piecemeal discussion of narratological concepts in film music studies, and tries to (cautiously) systematize them, and to expand and refine them with reference to ideas from general narratology and film narratology (including contributions from German-language literature less widely known in Anglophone scholarship). The book goes beyond the current focus of film music studies on the distinction between diegetic and nondiegetic music (music understood to be or not to be part of the storyworld of a film), and takes into account different levels of narration: from the extrafictional to ‘focalizations’ of subjectivity, and music’s many and complex movements between them. IN FILM The conceptual toolkit proposed in the first part of the book is put to the text in a series of case studies: of numbers in film musicals; of music and sound in horror films; and of music and narrative structures in, among others, films by Sergio Leone, The Truman Show, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Far from Heaven.

  • Bookish Women: Examining the Textual and Embodied Construction of Scholarly and Literary Women in American Musicals
    BOOKISH WOMEN: EXAMINING THE TEXTUAL AND EMBODIED CONSTRUCTION OF SCHOLARLY AND LITERARY WOMEN IN AMERICAN MUSICALS Rebecca K. Hammonds A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2019 Committee: Michael Ellison, Advisor Andrew Pelletier Graduate Faculty Representative Angela Ahlgren Cynthia Baron © 2019 Rebecca K. Hammonds All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Michael Ellison, Advisor Scholarly and literary women are some of the most beloved characters on the musical stage, yet the importance of these character’s intelligence and creativity has received virtually no scholarly attention. In this study I seek to understand how intelligent and creative heroines are constructed in American musicals and whether they are empowered feminist role models. Relying on an understanding of women’s intellectual history and the slow and inconsistent growth of women’s broader acceptance as intellectual and creative experts, I strongly suggest that the reading, writing, teaching, and studying activities of bookish female characters in musicals offer us an opportunity to speak back to and re-envision our feminist and intellectual histories and oppressions. Furthermore, I argue that the musical form is uniquely suited to the representation of bookish women who empower themselves and others through their bookish activities. When bookish women are able to reveal their intellectual and creative inner life, we see more clearly how they exhibit attitudes and action whereby they claim power themselves and others. Seven traits common in the construction of bookish women in musicals are also identified and deployed. These traits make legible the empowering use and effect of bookishness in the character’s personality and experience.
