M. Keith Booker, PhD Dissertation Director Yajaira M. Padilla, PhD Frank Scheide, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Abstract This project analyzes adaptation in the Hindi film industry and how the concepts of gender and identity have changed from the original text to the contemporary adaptation. The original texts include religious epics, Shakespeare’s plays, Bengali novels which were written pre- independence, and Hollywood films. This venture uses adaptation theory as well as postmodernist and postcolonial theories to examine how women and men are represented in the adaptations as well as how contemporary audience expectations help to create the identity of the characters in the films.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Introduction Bollywood in Australia Andrew Hassam and Makand Paranjape The global context of Bollywood in Australia Makarand Paranjape The transcultural character and reach of Bollywood cinema has been gradually more visible and obvious over the last two decades. What is less understood and explored is its escalating integration with audiences, markets and entertainment industries beyond the Indian subcontinent. This book explores the relationship of Bollywood to Australia. We believe that this increasingly important relationship is an outcome of the convergence between two remarkably dynamic entities—globalising Bollywood, on the one hand and Asianising Australia, on the other. If there is a third element in this relationship, which is equally important, it is the mediating power of the vibrant diasporic community of South Asians in Australia. Hence, at its most basic, this book explores the conjunctures and ruptures between these three forces: Bollywood, Australia and their interface, the diaspora. 1 Bollywood in Australia It would be useful to see, at the outset, how Bollywood here refers not only to the Bombay film industry, but is symbolic of the Indian and even the South Asian film industry.

  • Hanging Together1. Not the How but the Why: Lord Jim and the Function of Intertextuality2
    Yearbook of Conrad Studies (Poland) Vol. VIII 2013, pp. 7–30 doi: 10.4467/20843941YC.13.001.1323 HANGING TOGETHER1. NOT THE HOW BUT THE WHY: LORD JIM AND THE FUNCTION OF INTERTEXTUALITY2 Peter Vernon Université François Rabelais de Tours Abstract: This paper fi rst examines what kind of texts Conrad cites in his novels, and how they function and goes on to ask why Hamlet and the Bible are so signifi cant in Lord Jim. We will argue that Hamlet and Lord Jim have something in them that will not be transformed into art and that ac- counts, in part, for Conrad’s saying that he has been “satanically ambitious” in writing this novel, which analyses the human condition, its hopes and shames, courage and cowardice, to a profound depth at the limit of language and artistic expression. The intertext, indirectly, enables Conrad to bestow a heightened rhetoric onto his protagonist, which he would otherwise have found impossi- ble in the Modern period. Conrad frequently states his diffi culty in fi nding language to express the reality of Jim; he also has recourse to different narrative genres – adventure, gothic, romance – to give consolation to those looking for narrative closure. The intertext of Hamlet and the Bible enable the reader to perceive beyond closure that there are areas of existence that cannot be expressed in words. However, whether we perceive the silence beyond the text as ineffable or unsayable must, fi nally, depend on the individual reader. Conrad loads Jim’s presence with Christian imagery in order to show that this very young, fl awed, incoherent seaman is fated to atone for sin in self-sacri- fi ce.

  • Declaring Victory and Admitting Defeat
    Declaring Victory and Admitting Defeat Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy In the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Thomas Michael Dolan Jr. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Richard K. Herrmann, Advisor Daniel Verdier Theodore Hopf Copyright by Thomas Michael Dolan Jr. 2009 Abstract When do wartime events cause state leaders to change their political or military approach to a war, or try to end it? This study answers this question by focusing on leaders’ beliefs about how war advances their political aims and the changes those beliefs undergo, and the role of emotions in motivating or suppressing those changes. These key beliefs are conceptualized as Theories of Victory, and three key types of theory of victory—oriented toward demonstrating capability, wearying their opponent, or directly acquiring the aims—are identified. These types are used to explain how leaders interpret wartime events and, if they conclude their approach has failed, what further options (if any) will seem plausible. The motivation to learn associated with anxiety (produced by novel bad news) and the suppression of learning associated with anger and contentedness (produced by familiar bad news and good news) are used to explain when particular series of events lead to these key changes. Three cases are used to test the theory—the Winter War (Finland-USSR 1939-1940), the Pacific War (US-Japan 1941-1945) and the Battle of France (France-Germany 1940). ii Dedication For my Parents iii Acknowledgements It has been a long journey.

  • Mapping Axel Heyst's Island: the Limits of Allegory in Conrad's Victory
    MAPPING AXEL HEYST'S ISLAND: THE LIMITS OF ALLEGORY IN CONRAD'S VICTORY John Derrick "It is not down in any map,tnie places never are." Melville, Moby Dick "Minute discrimination is Not Accidental.All sublimity is founded on Minute Discrimination." Blake's annotation to Reynolds' Discourses Readers of Treasure Island may remember Stevenson's observa- tion that his novel grew up around the treasure map he had one day draw in a mood of daydream. The map preceeded and incited his prose, providing not only atmosphere, but stimulus for plot. Thus Jim Hawkins discovers Stevenson's map (attributed to Captain Flint) in Billy Bones' tarry trunk, and the game is afoot. Having invented such places as the anchorage, the stockade, Spyglass Hill and the like, the author was at pains to connect them in a story that converges in time as well as space at the X that marks the spot of Flint's silver. One might question whether the inventors of fictional islands are not more than usually apt to think of their settings in cartographic terms. Though their geography may not be as explicit as Stevenson's, such works as Robinson Cntsoe, Typee, or Lord of the Flies imply background maps that are detailed and highly consistent. The closed world of the island setting seems to call for a gestalt in the mind of writer and reader, a greater graphic and geographic coherence than the vaster spaces one customarily finds in the realistic novel, where the roads lead in every direction outward, into the chaos of actual history.

  • Messages of American Popular Song to Women During World War II
    “I’m Doin’ It for Defense”: Messages of American Popular Song to Women during World War II A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2013 by Amy Brooks BM, Bob Jones University, 2008 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD Abstract World War II presented many new opportunities for American women. In this time of need, they were called upon to take an active part in the war effort, whether by means of working in a factory, growing a victory garden, or serving as a volunteer for wartime organizations. Women made great strides forward in areas such as the workforce and the military. The American popular song industry promoted these new roles for women. I have compiled over 150 songs from 1940 to1945 that relate to women’s roles during the World War II era. Of these songs, I have chosen a select number of songs that best demonstrate popular culture’s attitudes and actions towards women during the war. These songs can be divided into five categories: women in the military, women in the workforce, women’s war effort, women’s responsibilities to men in uniform, and women in the immediate post-war period. I have studied the representative songs by considering their lyrics to identify the objectives supported by the popular song industry. I took into consideration the venues in which they were presented and how these performances influenced their reception.

  • Nepotism in Film Industry: an Unending Debate
    ISSN 2455-4782 NEPOTISM IN FILM INDUSTRY: AN UNENDING DEBATE Authored by: Dr. Deepti Kohli * * Associate Professor, Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies, Delhi ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Nepotism is not a new issue in the society. It revives itself with the growth of film industry. It can be seen in politics as well. In the film industry it can be seen at the level of production, distribution, marketing etc. The disadvantage of it is that, it eliminates the talent and hard work from the work culture. It removes incentives for creativity. It has been seen as a boon for the star kids and bane for the struggling artists. Recently the death of the 34 year old actor has ignited the debate of nepotism through the social media activists. The paper attempts to study as to how far film industry has been the victim of nepotism and the loss suffered due to it. The paper also analyses the possible legal solutions to the problem of nepotism. Key words- Nepotism, film industry, star kids, film collection, production house, directors 14 | P a g e JOURNAL ON CONTEMPORARY ISSUES OF LAW [JCIL] VOLUME 6 ISSUE 6 ISSN 2455-4782 INTRODUCTION When professional decisions are hampered on the basis of personal relationships, nepotism can be said to have begun. The strong argument in its support is that when families run businesses, as a tradition, they want to carry it from generations to generations, and keep the profit in home which can be inherited by the family members alone. The term nepotism has been derived from Italian word nepotismo, which is based on Latin root nepos, which means nephew.1 There are various areas where nepotism exists, however, in this paper the nepotism is discussed in the light of film industry, commonly known as ‘Bollywood’.
