  • Peter Bergson:” Historical Memory and a Forgotten Holocaust Hero
    Making “Peter Bergson:” Historical Memory and a Forgotten Holocaust Hero By Emily J. Horne B.A. May 2000, The George Washington University A Thesis submitted to The Faculty of Columbian College of Arts and Sciences of The George Washington University in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts January 31, 2009 Thesis directed by Dina R. Khoury Associate Professor of History and International Affairs For my parents, Pamela and Stephen, and for my sister, Jennifer… who remind me every day to seek out “story potential.” ii Acknowledgements I am endlessly indebted to my brilliant committee members. Dina Khoury first introduced me to memory studies at the beginning of my graduate career and I would not have finished this process without her guidance, enthusiasm and advice. Many thanks to Walter Reich for all his anecdotes and legends that never appeared in the history books, and for calming me down when the work seemed overwhelming. Every young woman graduate student should be lucky enough to have a role model like Hope Harrison, who first introduced me to the twin joys of contemporary Holocaust memory and spargel season in Berlin. I have been deeply privileged to have these three scholars as readers and advisers for this thesis. Also from the GWU History Department I would like to thank Leo Ribuffo, who taught the first history class of my undergraduate career and inspired me to stay for another eight years. Director Geri Rypkema of the Office of Graduate Assistantships and Fellowships has been a wonderful supervisor and friend through much of my graduate career.

  • President: Franklin D. Roosevelt in Film
    The Evolving American Presidency Series Series Foreword: The American Presidency touches virtually every aspect of American and world politics. And the presidency has become, for better or worse, the vital center of the American and global political systems. The Framers of the American government would be dismayed at such a result. As invented at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention in 1787, the Presidency was to have been a part of a government with shared and overlapping powers, embedded within a separation-of-powers system. If there was a vital center, it was the Congress; the Presidency was to be a part, but by no means, the centerpiece of that system. Over time, the presidency has evolved and grown in power, expectations, responsi- bilities, and authority. Wars, crises, depressions, industrialization, all served to add to the power of the presidency. And as the United States grew into a world power, presidential power also grew. As the United States became the world’s leading super- power, the presidency rose in prominence and power, not only in the U.S., but on the world stage. It is the clash between the presidency as invented and the presidency as it has devel- oped that inspired this series. And it is the importance and power of the modern American presidency that makes understanding the office so vital. Like it or not, the American Presidency stands at the vortex of power both within the United States and across the globe. This Palgrave series recognizes that the Presidency is and has been an evolving institu- tion, going from the original constitutional design as a Chief Clerk, to today where the president is the center of the American political constellation.

A Letter from the President Fall 2008 Dear Subscriber, This year there is an important change in our annual printed catalogue. We have decided to discontinue including full descriptions of all the plays we represent, which now number over 3,300, and instead limit full descriptions to our new acquisitions. Our new catalogue format will still contain listings of all our titles and authors, but to view descriptions of all of our plays you only have to visit our website at www.dramatists.com. We decided to make this change because less than two percent of the thousands of applications we receive each year now arrive via mail or fax. We receive an overwhelming 98 percent of applications through the online forms found on our website. We are extremely pleased about this development, as we believe ours is the best website of its kind on the Internet, and it has long been our goal to make the application process as efficient and easy as possible for you. On the website the majority of applications are approved and licensed within minutes. This translates to an enormous savings of time and money for everyone, and it also saves on paper, helping us to reduce our environmental footprint.

    THE MERYL STREEP MYSTIQUE: A STUDY OF GENDER, AGING, HOLLYWOOD AND A FEMALE STAR by Tracy Allerton A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida December 2010 Copyright by Tracy Allerton 2010 ii ABSTRACT Author: Tracy Allerton Title: The Meryl Streep Mystique: A Study of Gender, Aging, Hollywood and a Female Star Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Christine Scodari Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2010 This thesis employs a star study of Meryl Streep, incorporating pertinent feminist, reception and culture-studies theories, to investigate biases within the Hollywood film industry. The actress has enjoyed a resurgence as a leading lady at age 61. Streep’s star persona, acting prowess and career arc are examined across three theoretical platforms— production of culture, textual analysis, and audience analysis—for clues as to why she has been singled out among her peers. This thesis posits that Streep’s unique star image and surge in popularity have helped her break out of hegemonic articulations of gender and aging that privilege youthful beauty, putting female stars at a disadvantage within the capitalistic film industry. Also considered is the cultural significance of Streep’s late-life success: Does she represent new openings for older actresses (and concomitantly, an increase in film representations of aging women), or is she merely an anomaly within the entrenched patriarchal system? iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER ONE ................................................................................................................. 1 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION ........................................................................ 1 Introduction....................................................................................................................

  • Programs Change Lives
    From the Artistic Directors Here we go! Our first production of our 30th Anniversary season. 30 years ago, when we first entered this theatre and stepped onto its stage, we knew we had found it. A place to call home. Since that April three decades ago, our charming haven on Fountain Avenue has been home to thousands of artists and millions of patrons. Fountain plays are now performed worldwide and seen on TV. Our flamenco concerts are first class. Our outreach programs change lives. We start 2020 with the world premiere of a new play. Human Interest Story could not be more timely. By dramatizing such urgent issues as homelessness, truth in journalism, corruption in politics, and the impact of social media, Human Interest Story is a tale torn from our headlines or downloaded right from our news feeds. And asks some fundamental questions of ourselves. If you’re a longtime member of our Fountain Family, we deeply thank you for your loyal friendship. If you’re a first-timer, welcome. We hope you like what you see and come back throughout this landmark year as we celebrate 30 years of intimate excellence on Fountain Avenue. Our legacy is noteworthy. And our future looks bigger and brighter than ever. Onward! Deborah Culver Stephen Sachs The Fountain Theatre The Fountain creates, develops and produces new plays and re-imagined classics expressing the diverse social issues and cultures of Los Angeles and the nation. We give artistic voice to the voiceless; while engaging communities and students through our outreach programs. Diversity and inclusion sit at the heart of our mission, passionately committed to the purpose that the richly varied population of Los Angeles sees itself on our stage.
