  • Bill 'Bojangles'
    ‘It’s all the way you look at it, you know’: reading Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson’s film career Author: Hannah Durkin Affiliation: University of Nottingham, UK This article engages with a major paradox in African American tap dancer Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson’s film image – namely, its concurrent adherences to and contestations of dehumanising racial iconography – to reveal the complex and often ambivalent ways in which identity is staged and enacted. Although Robinson is often understood as an embodiment of popular cultural imagery historically designed to dehumanise African Americans, this paper shows that Robinson’s artistry displaces these readings by providing viewing pleasure for black, as much as white, audiences. Robinson’s racially segregated scenes in Dixiana (1930) and Hooray for Love (1935) illuminate classical Hollywood’s racial codes, whilst also showing how his inclusion within these otherwise all-white films provides grounding for creative and self-reflexive artistry. The films’ references to Robinson’s stage image and artistry overlap with minstrelsy-derived constructions of ‘blackness’, with the effect that they heighten possible interpretations of his cinematic persona by evading representational conclusion. Ultimately, Robinson’s films should be read as sites of representational struggle that help to uncover the slipperiness of performances of African American identities in 1930s Hollywood. Keywords: Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson; tap dance; minstrelsy; specialty number; classical Hollywood Hannah Durkin. Email: [email protected] In 1935 musical Hooray for Love, a character played by Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson (1878-1949), one of Hollywood’s first black screen stars, declares, ‘it’s all the way you look at it, you know’ to describe his surroundings.

    FIND LOCAL: Entertainment Guide Parties & Celebrations | Travel & Attractions | Sports & Recreation | Leisure Activities Entertainment Guide » Arts & Entertainment » Dance » Dancing » Sammy Davis Jr.'s Facts on Tap Dancing Sammy Davis Jr.'s Facts on Tap Dancing ADS BY GOOGLE by Sue McCarty, Demand Media In May 1990, the Las Vegas Strip went dark for 10 minutes to honor one of America's premier entertainers, Sammy Davis Jr. Davis began his professional life on a vaudeville stage tap dancing at the age of 3 and spent the next 61 years singing, dancing, impersonating and acting for an often racially prejudiced public. Tutored in tap by his father, Sammy Sr., and partner, Will Mastin, and advised by the immortal Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Davis spent his entire life on stages, in films and on television. Fred Astaire once said of Davis, "Just to watch him walk on stage was worth the price of admission." Learning the Craft Davis referred to his tap dancing skills as “a hand-me-down art form" because he was never formally trained in any aspect of dance. He learned by watching and imitating his father, Mastin and other professionals he came in contact with every night on vaudeville stages across the country. According to Davis, he remembered everything he saw, including timing, audience reaction to certain moves and how to direct the mood of the audience with facial expressions and gestures. RELATED ARTICLES Developing a Style Interesting Facts About Irish Step At the age of 10 Davis first saw Bill "Bojangles" Robinson on stage in Dancing Boston, which changed Davis' whole approach to tap dancing.

  • La Construcción Discursiva Del Espectador En Los Reality Shows. El Caso De Gran Hermano Del Pacífico
    FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS Y ARTES DE LA COMUNICACIÓN La construcción discursiva del espectador en los reality shows. El caso de Gran Hermano del Pacífico. Tesis para optar el Título de LICENCIADA EN PUBLICIDAD Presentada por CYNTHIA INGRID CABREJOS CALIENES Lima 2007 INTRODUCCIÓN El presente trabajo de investigación lleva como título: “La construcción discursiva del espectador en los reality shows. El caso de Gran Hermano del Pacífico”. Partiendo de las repercusiones sociales que este formato ha tenido en el plano social e individual, me interesa centrar mi análisis en esta nueva forma de hacer televisión que explota día a día la publicidad de la intimidad y el entretenimiento como recursos válidos para ganar audiencias. Todos sabemos que la televisión ejerce una fuerte influencia en sus televidentes, especialmente en la forma en la que estos se relacionan con su entorno. Sin duda, las imágenes de la televisión de hoy representan a su espectador, en la forma en que este concibe su sociedad y además, en cuáles son sus hábitos de consumo. Por otro lado, tenemos que la forma en la que estos reality shows presentan los objetos que exhiben y cuánto exhiben de ellos, es muestra de su papel por construir a un tipo de espectador ideal. Como un libro que ha sido escrito para un lector que idealmente interpreta y comprende los contenidos de la forma que lo ha concebido el autor, los reality shows establecen marcas enunciativas para atribuirle a su espectador diferentes competencias que finalmente terminen por fidelizarlo y engancharlo al drama. Precisamente la pregunta que esta investigación pretende responder es cómo el discurso de los realities (concentrándose particularmente en el de Gran Hermano) construye a un espectador ideal omnisciente y omnividente.

  • ROBINSON, WILLIAM E.: Papers, 1935-69
    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS ROBINSON, WILLIAM E.: Papers, 1935-69 William E. Robinson held positions as a newspaper executive with the New York Evening Journal (1933-36) and the New York Herald Tribune (1936-54), directed his own public relations firm of Robinson-Hannegan Associates (1954-55), and served as president and chairman of the board of Coca-Cola, Inc. (1955-61). In addition to having a long and distinguished career in business, Mr. Robinson also enjoyed a long and close personal friendship with Dwight D. Eisenhower, dating from their first meeting in World War II until their deaths in 1969. Mr. Robinson’s papers reflect both his business career and, especially, his association with Dwight D. Eisenhower. Mr. Robinson first met General Eisenhower in 1944 when the former was in Europe to reestablish publication of the Herald Tribune’s European edition. Their association became more intimate in 1947 when Mr. Robinson prevailed upon the General to write his World War II memoirs. According to arrangements worked out by Mr. Robinson, General Eisenhower’s Crusade in Europe came out in the fall of 1948, published in book form by Doubleday and syndicated to newspapers worldwide by the Herald Tribune. The two men were drawn together by a great admiration and respect for each other’s ideas and judgments, and an abiding common passion for playing bridge and golf. It was Mr. Robinson, in the spring of 1948 after the General had finished drafting his memoirs, who first introduced the Eisenhowers to Augusta National Golf Club. When General Eisenhower became president of Columbia University in New York City, the two had frequent occasions to play bridge together and to enjoy a game of golf at Blind Brook Golf Club where Mr.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Brynn Wein Shiovitz 2016 © Copyright by Brynn Wein Shiovitz 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950 by Brynn Wein Shiovitz Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Chair Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950, looks at the many forms of masking at play in three pivotal, yet untheorized, tap dance performances of the twentieth century in order to expose how minstrelsy operates through various forms of masking. 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.

  • NVS 3-1-5 M-Perschon
    Steam Wars Mike Perschon (Grant MacEwan University/University of Alberta, Canada) Abstract: While steampunk continues to defy definition, this article seeks to identify a coherent understanding of steampunk as an aesthetic. By comparing and contrasting well-known cultural icons of George Lucas’s Star Wars with their steampunk counterparts, insightful features of the steampunk aesthetic are suggested. This article engages in a close reading of individual artworks by digital artists who took part in a challenge issued on the forums of CGSociety (Computer Graphics Society) to apply a steampunk style to the Star Wars universe. The article focuses on three aspects of the steampunk aesthetic as revealed by this evidentiary approach: technofantasy, a nostalgic interpretation of imagined history, and a willingness to break nineteenth century gender roles and allow women to act as steampunk heroes. Keywords: CGSociety (Computer Graphics Society), digital art, gender roles, George Lucas, Orientalism, Star Wars , steampunk, technofantasy, visual aesthetic ***** It has been over twenty years since K.W. Jeter inadvertently coined the term ‘steampunk’ in a letter to Locus magazine in 1987. Jeter jokingly qualified the neo-Victorian writings he, James P. Blaylock, and Tim Powers were producing with the ‘-punk’ appendix, playing off the 1980s popularity of cyberpunk. Ironically the term stuck, both as descriptor for nearly every neo-Victorian work of speculative fiction since Jeter’s Infernal Devices (1987), while retroactively subsuming works such as Keith Roberts’s Pavane (1968), Michael Moorcock’s The Warlord of the Air (1971) , the 1960s television series Wild, Wild West (1965-1969, created by Michael Garrison), and even the writings of H.G.
