Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

    HOME FRONT AS WARFRONT: AFRICAN AMERICAN WORLD WAR I DRAMA BY Copyright 2010 Anna Katherine Egging Submitted to the graduate degree program in English and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson, Iris Smith Fischer Committee Members:________________________________ Maryemma Graham ________________________________ Janet Sharistanian ________________________________ Henry Bial ________________________________ Omofolabo Ajayi-Soyinka Date Defended: ___27 August, 2010_______________ ii The Dissertation Committee for Anna Katherine Egging certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: HOME FRONT AS WARFRONT: AFRICAN AMERICAN WORLD WAR I DRAMA ________________________________ Chairperson, Iris Smith Fischer Date approved:____27 August 2010_______ iii Abstract This dissertation recovers little-known African American World War I plays that blur the boundary between the home front and warfront. I argue that with this focus, the plays wage their own war for African American citizenship rights, using language and performance to gain access to the “imagined” community of the nation. Yet plays from different time periods focus on diverse aspects of the Great War; these differences provide insight into how World War I was thought of and employed, and for what purposes, in African American communities during the interwar years. The project fills an important gap in African American drama, theatre, and war literature scholarship; no book-length analysis exists, yet scholarly conversations surrounding African Americans in the Great War are energetic. Despite scholars’ arguments that the war “gave birth” to the New Negro, the plays that dramatize the subject have drifted into obscurity. Thus, this project is overdue; the plays complete the historical picture of African American drama and provide a better understanding of the ways contemporary life in the United States is still haunted by World War I.

  • The Evidence of the Film by Ned Thanhouser
    The Influence of D.W. Griffith on Thanhouser’s 1913 Release: The Evidence of the Film by Ned Thanhouser The transitional era in US cinema (ca. 1907 to 1913) bridged the end of the “primitive” period with the beginning of multi-reel “feature” films. Early “primitive” films were characterized by a single shot, in full frame, with a single point of view that told familiar stories people would recognize and understand. Editing was used to join shots to extend the action or to clarify the events for the audience by showing the same action from a different perspective. “Transitional” films developed new cinematic techniques that allowed the introduction of motivated characters and enabled more complex cause-and-effect narratives. Thanhouser Company was founded in 1909, early in the “transitional” era. The films it produced over the next four years were a reflection of the changes pioneered by D.W. Griffith from 1908 to 1913 while he was at American Biograph. The Thanhouser factory, based in New Rochelle, New York, was Forty-five Minutes from Broadway1 and the Biograph studio, located on 14th Street. By 1913 when D.W. Griffith ended his tenure at Biograph, he had directed over 450 films. It was during this period at Biograph that Griffith developed and refined his ideas on narrative development, cinematography, and editing.2 Griffith and Thanhouser had direct contact during this period. As recounted in a 1976 interview with Victor Heerman (who in 1909 worked at a New York theatrical booking agency while Thanhouser was just getting started), the first contact was the 1 As made popular by George M.
