  • Performing the Fractured Puppet Self
    Performing the Fractured Puppet Self Employing auto-ethnopuppetry to portray and challenge cultural and personal constructions of the disabled body by Emma C. Fisher Supervisor: Doctor Michael Finneran A thesis submitted for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Drama and Theatre Studies Mary Immaculate College (Coláiste Mhuire Gan Smál) University of Limerick Ph.D. ABSTRACT This research project examines personal and cultural constructs of the disabled body, with the creation of the puppet play Pupa as its practical culmination. The testimonials of six participants (including my own), all from artists with a disability or deaf artists, are the inspiration for Pupa. The qualitative research methodology used within this research combines ethnographic methods, auto-ethnography, practice-based research and narrative enquiry. I have adapted auto-ethnography by combining it with puppetry to coin new methodologies; ‘ethnopuppetry’ and ‘auto-ethnopuppetry’. Inspired by fairytales, Pupa creates a fantastical world where the narratives of the participants find expression through a range of puppet characters. These testimonies examine what it is to identify with a disabled identity, and to ‘come out’ as disabled. It looks at how we perceive ourselves as disabled, and how we feel others perceive us. Creating a piece of theatre based around disabled identity led me to investigate the history of disabled performers, and historical depictions of disabled characters within theatre, fairytales and freak-shows, in order to see how they influence societal beliefs around disability today. Within the practice element of this research, I experimented with unconventionally constructed puppets, as well as puppeteering my own disabled limb with an exo-skeleton, in order to question how I view disability in my own body.

  • Digital Puppetry of Wayang Kulit Kelantan: a Study of Its Visual Aesthetics
    DIGITAL PUPPETRY OF WAYANG KULIT KELANTAN: A STUDY OF ITS VISUAL AESTHETICS KHOR KHENG KIA THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY CULTURAL CENTRE UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR 2014 ABSTRACT Wayang kulit Kelantan, a form of traditional shadow puppet theatre in Malaysia, is threatened with imminent extinction yet no significant attempts were made to preserve this cultural heritage. It is clear that with the current situation in Malaysia and the level of official support, wayang kulit Kelantan is unlikely to last long. Several researchers have suggested that traditional wayang kulit Kelantan to be digitalised into digital media so that it could be watched on the media screen in order to provide greater accessibility and flexibility. The digital puppetry of traditional wayang kulit Kelantan is very helpful in promoting this art form and also indirectly by preserving it via alternative media. This study aims to examine the possibilities and probe potentials of using Computer Graphics (CG) and modern technology to preserve the visual aesthetics of traditional wayang kulit Kelantan. The coverage of the study consists of three major aspects, namely: (i) the visual aesthetics of traditional wayang kulit Kelantan, (ii) Computer Graphics (CG)/ motion capture and (iii) digital puppetry. This study provides in-depth information and explanations on two major aspects. The first aspect is the identification and description of the facets of the visual aesthetics of traditional wayang kulit Kelantan; emphasizing its principal puppet designs and shadow images. The second aspect is the use of modern technology and CG to capture these facets into digital media.

  • The Traitor and the Stowaway: Persona Construction and the Quest for Cultural Anonymity and Cultural Relevance in the Trajectories of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen
    Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music doi:10.5429/2079-3871(2010)v1i2.6en The Traitor and the Stowaway: Persona Construction and the Quest for Cultural Anonymity and Cultural Relevance in the Trajectories of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. Christophe Lebold Department of English and North American Studies University of Strasbourg, France [email protected] Abstract While wide apart in terms of cultural heritage and creative energy, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan offered baby-boomers complementary figures: the (non)protest-singer as prophet and agent provocateur and the troubadour as high priest of the depths of the heart. Approaching persona as a collaborative text, I propose to analyze how Dylan and Cohen’s reception (or rejection) as cultural heroes has influenced the conduct of their career and the development of their artistic gesture, leading them to constantly redefine their modes of performance. In this respect, Dylan and Cohen’s trajectories can be seen as inverted images of each other: the former spends most of his career in a cultural war against his original position of hyper- relevance, trying to obliterate his own persona and regain a cultural anonymity, while the latter – a poet with no rock credentials – has to struggle his way towards a position of cultural relevance and turn what was essentially perceived as a literary gesture into a rock statement. Along the way, we will be brought to reflect on personae as sites of tension between industry branding and artistic autonomy, authenticity and theatricality, pop pleasures and social significance, bringing to the fore a distinction between readerly and writerly personae.
