  • Rose La Rose and the Re-Ownership of American Burlesque, 1935-1972
    TAUGHT IT TO THE TRADE: ROSE LA ROSE AND THE RE-OWNERSHIP OF AMERICAN BURLESQUE, 1935-1972 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Wellman Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Jennifer Schlueter, Advisor Beth Kattelman Joy Reilly Copyright by Elizabeth Wellman 2015 ABSTRACT Declaring burlesque dead has been a habit of the twentieth century. Robert C. Allen quoted an 1890s letter from the first burlesque star of the American stage, Lydia Thompson in Horrible Prettiness: Burlesque and American Culture (1991): “[B]urlesque as she knew it ‘has been retired for a time,’ its glories now ‘merely memories of the stage.’”1 In 1931, Bernard Sobel opined in Burleycue: An Underground History of Burlesque Days, “Alas! You will never get a chance to see one of the real burlesque shows again. They are gone forever…”2 In 1938, The Billboard published an editorial that began, “On every hand the cry is ‘Burlesque is dead.’”3 In fact, burlesque had been declared dead so often that editorials began popping up insisting it could be revived, as Joe Schoenfeld’s 1943 op-ed in Variety did: “[It] may be in a state of putrefaction, but it is a lusty and kicking decomposition.”4 It is this “lusty and kicking decomposition” which characterizes the published history of burlesque. Since its modern inception in the late nineteenth century, American burlesque has both been framed and framed itself within this narrative of degeneration.

  • Writing America
    A MILLENNIUM ARTS PROJECT REVISED EDITION NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS Contents Chairman’s Message 3 NEA Literature Fellows by State 4 Editor’s Note 5 The Writer’s Place by E.L. Doctorow 7 Biographies and Excerpts 8 2 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE WRITERS record the triumphs and tragedies of the human spirit and so perform an important role in our society. They allow us—in the words of the poet William Blake—“to see a world in a grain of sand,” elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary and finding signifi- cance in the seemingly insignificant. Creative writers in our own country deserve our support and encouragement. After all, America’s writers record America. They tell America’s story to its citizens and to the world. The American people have made an important investment in our nation’s writers through the National Endowment for the Arts’ Literature Fellowships. Since the program was established 35 years ago, $35 million has enhanced the creative careers of more than 2,200 writers. Since 1990, 34 of the 42 recipients of poetry and fiction awards through the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award have been recipients of Arts Endowment fellowships early in their careers. Beyond statistics, however, these writers have given a lasting legacy to American literature by their work. This revised edition of WRITINGAMERICA features the work of 50 Literature Fel- lowship winners—one from each state—who paint a vivid portrait of the United States in the last decades of the twentieth century. Collectively, they evoke the magnificent spectrum of people, places, and experiences that define America.

  • The Impact of Comedy on Racial and Ethnic Discourse
    The Impact of Comedy on Racial and Ethnic Discourse May 2012 A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In the Department of Sociology Of the College of Arts and Sciences by Aaryn L. Green B.A., University of Cincinnati 2009 Committee: Annulla Linders, Ph.D. (Chair) Jennifer Malat, Ph.D. Omotayo Banjo, Ph.D. Abstract An overwhelming facet of race literature suggests that American society has entered an era of colorblindness; where instead of perpetuating racist ideology through blatant discriminatory legislation, racial differences are either understated or ignored entirely. These new racial processes are reflected in the policies of major social institutions, but also within popular culture. Yet, as made evident by the success of comedians such as Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle, stand-up comedy challenges acceptable racial discourse; placing race in the forefront. Comedy persists as a facet of popular culture where racial difference is made apparent, yet ironically the art of comedy is usually overlooked by sociologists. What is lacking in the humor research is an understanding of how comedy creates an environment where race can be spoken about directly, and often times harshly. Through the analysis of focus groups, the present study finds evidence to suggest that racial and ethnic comedy serves to both reinforce and wane racial and ethnic stereotypes, similarities, and differences. After watching stand-up comedy clips of popular comedians, black and white respondents show both agreement and disagreement on: (1) the offensiveness of ethnic comedy (2) stereotypes and perceived truths and (3) the utility of ethnic comedy in everyday interactions.

  • Download Comedy Albums SPIN’S 40 Greatest Comedy Albums of All Time
    download comedy albums SPIN’s 40 Greatest Comedy Albums of All Time. Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Patton Oswalt and 37 other records funnier than 'Lulu' Comedy albums have come a long way since Thomas Edison etched the first recorded dick joke to wax cylinder (“Hey, want to see the wizard’s staff of Menlo Park?”). In the 1960s, comedy albums were totemic, regularly beating out Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett for Album of the Year Grammys. In the 1970s, guys like Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx inspired the flows of hundreds of rappers who rifled through their parents’ record collections. In the 1980s, the business was bustling enough to provide Emo Phillips with a major-label deal. With the recent rise of comedic podcasts like WTF with Marc Maron , The Ricky Gervais Show , and The Glenn Beck Podcast , people are listening to funny stuff more than they have in forever. In honor of our November 2011 “Funny” Issue, we assembled a crack team of comedy nerds to compile an authoritative, definitive list of the 40 best comedy albums of all time. Here’s 40 artists who deserve to sell more units than Jeff Foxworthy. 40. Andrew “Dice” Clay. The Day The Laughter Died (1990) The free-associative filth masquerading as jokes on the Diceman’s two-disc debut is one step below bathroom graffiti. But the unique production, mostly perpetrated by master “reducer” Rick Rubin, makes this an immortal document of raw humanity: small club, small crowd, unsuspecting victims, the day-after-Christmas malaise. Swinging from “juvenile” to “politically incorrect” to “unrepentantly sexist and racist,” Dice performs a 102-minute tightrope act where his porno talk falls flat, he’s forced to shout down requests for famous bits, and he causes heckling tourists to flee the room in disgust.
