  • “The Piece Was Made to Demonstrate the Strength
    ATCOOPER SUMMER/FALL 2020 THE COOPER UNION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE AND ART “The piece was made to demonstrate the strength and determination that the Class of ’24 has to create artwork and collaborate across the distance that currently separates us. Instead of highlighting an individual, like a typical college commitment post, the goal of this work was to show a united trio of artists, each as important as the other in accomplishing unified goals. For me, this piece is a clear declaration of my intent to not only overcome but also to harness the unique challenges that we now face and create engaging work.” —Clyde Nichols, Class of 2024, School of Art PERSISTENCE & RESILIENCE The image on the front cover came to our attention via Instagram in May, when Clyde Nichols, an incoming first-year student in the School of Art, first posted it as his “I’m going to Cooper Union!” announcement. He provided the text in a subsequent email explaining the intent of the work. The other two students, Anahita Sukhija and Innua Anna Maria (seated) are also incoming School of Art first-years. Clyde’s work exemplifies the Cooper spirit of surpassing limitations by bringing determined, creative individuals together, whether physically or metaphorically, to build something bigger than themselves. This issue of At Cooper aims to capture that same spirit as it has played out during one of the most extraordinary periods in the 161-year history of The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. In March, of course, the entire campus shut down—a Cooper first—due to COVID-19.

  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas 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 May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.

    JUDY O’BRIEN [Maureen O’Hara] (dancing onstage, dress straps rip-male audience members taunt) Go ahead and stare. I'm not ashamed. Go on, laugh; get your money's worth. Nobody's going to hurt you. I know you want me to tear my clothes off so you can look your 50 cents' worth. Fifty cents for the privilege of staring at a girl the way your wives won't let you. What do you suppose we think of you up here? (camera pans l to r well-heeled and ashamed male in tuxedos and reproving female audience members) With your silly smirks your mothers would be ashamed of. It's a thing of the moment for the dress suits to come and laugh at us too. We'd laugh right back at you, only we're paid to let you sit there...and roll your eyes, and make your screamingly clever remarks. What's it for? So you can go home when the show's over, strut before your wives and sweethearts... and play at being the stronger sex for a minute? I'm sure they see through you just like we do. From Dance, Girl, Dance (Dorothy Arzner,1940) Tess Slesinger & Frank Davis (screenplay) Vicki Baum (story) Judy turns the objectifying male gaze back on itself.

  • Wonder Woman's Fight for Autonomy: How Patty Jenkins Did
    Wonder Woman’s Fight for Autonomy: How Patty Jenkins Did What No Man Could Hanann Morris Brigham Young University 31 December 2017 Morris 2 Abstract Originally created to empower women, the iconic super heroine, Wonder Woman, has fluctuated between feminist icon to an over-simplified object of male fantasy. In this paper, I will do a brief comparison of the many Wonder Woman adaptions in an effort to show how all adaptions, except one, have failed to empower Wonder Woman as a champion of women autonomy. I will also show how given the recent rise of sexual-harassment awareness, it is more important than ever to have role models that are not objectified but are independent, self-governing subjects. Morris 3 Wonder Woman’s Fight for Autonomy: How Patty Jenkins Did What No Man Could Perhaps the most recognized comic superheroine of all time, Wonder Woman’s many adaptions have sparked controversy among readers, feminists, and scholars in a debate that continues seventy-five years after her creation. Originally created to empower women, Wonder Woman has fluctuated between champion of social justice and dehumanized sexual object. She was the second superheroine to have her own comic, the first to stay in print until current day, and the first superheroine to have her own major motion picture. Yet the majority of her adaptations have shaped her into an object of male sexual gratification and submission with one exception—the 2017 Wonder Woman film directed by Patty Jenkins, the only film that gave Wonder Woman a voice. Wonder Woman was born under possibly the most feminist of circumstances for 1940 America.
