  • We Remember Them
    We Remember Them september 2019 yale university We Remember Them Included in these pages are remembrances written about our First Women classmates who have died since we arrived at Yale in September 1969. Reading about the lives they lived and the people and communities they touched is humbling. Remembering shared experiences from our days together at Yale and in the years after is bittersweet. Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who make the journey with us. So be swift to love and make haste to be kind. Jane Curtis ’73 by Lawrie Mifflin ’73 Jane had a wonderful smile, one that stretched into almost- dimples and made you eager to conspire with her. She first flashed it my way when we were 18, in the summer of 1969, at a fancy Philadelphia Yale Club reception for students newly admitted to Yale. Jane and I might have been the only girls in the room; I can’t remember. But I do remember we had two things in common—we were both Quakers, and we both loved to play field hockey—and we felt relieved to know that when we got to New Haven and Vanderbilt Hall, at least we’d have one sure friend. Little did we know that our field hockey bond would lead us to make Yale history. When we tried to find out how to join the Yale team, we learned there wasn’t one. Nor were there any teams, or even plans for teams, in any sport for women.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

No American family can proclaim a n1ore distin­ guished or more ancient lineage than the l\tontgom­ erys. The founder of the line in America, William Montgomerie, settled in East Jersey in 1701-02, but the pedigree is easily traceable many generations back of that period; indeed, fully a thousand years beyond the present year of grace. The earliest record of the family extend to Roger de Montgomerie, a native of Neustria, who was °Count of Montgomerie before coming of Rollo" in 912. Though of French extraction the Montgomeries thus became absorbed in and assimilated with the Norman dynasty, which was established by Duke Rollo, fol­ lowing his descent upon and capture of that section of the domain of Charles the Simple.

  • The Controversy Surrounding Bewitched and Harry Potter Natalie
    Georgia Institute of Technology Which Witch? The Controversy Surrounding Bewitched and Harry Potter Natalie F. Turbiville Department of History, Technology, and Society Georgia Institute of Technology Undergraduate Thesis Friday, April 25, 2008 Advisor: Dr. Douglas Flamming Second Reader: Dr. August Giebelhaus 2 Abstract Beginning in 1999, J.K. Rowling began to receive criticism about her Harry Potter series, which was first published in 1997. Christian Fundamentalists in opposition to the books argued that occult themes present in the series were harmful to the spiritual development of children. Those in opposition cited the negative response to the popular TV series Bewitched during its initial airing in the 1960s as grounds for rejecting Harry Potter . This connection was made because the popular television series and the successful book series both contained witchcraft elements; however, this connection is false. Primary sources show that Bewitched was not challenged based on the issue of witchcraft during its initial airing in the 1960s and 1970s. Despite modern Christian fundamentalists’ claims, the modern negative response to Bewitched is built on contemporary reflection. When Christian fundamentalists seek to prove that their outcry against the witchcraft used in Harry Potter is not unique it is suggested that America had rejected a form of media based on witchcraft when the public spoke out against Bewitched in the 1960s. In fact, the claim that Bewitched received criticism during its initial airing is incorrect. My research shows a direct contemporary correlation between the protest to Harry Potter beginning in 1999 and the rejection of Bewitched by Christian fundamentalists based on the issue of witchcraft.

  • It's Just a Possession”
    Institutionen för studier av samhällsutveckling och kultur – ISAK LiU Norrköping ”It’s just a possession” En studie av konsumistiska tendenser i realityserien The Hills Hanna Olsson Lanneberg & Erika Lindmark Kandidatuppsats från programmet Kultur, samhälle, mediegestaltning Linköpings universitet, LiU Norrköping, 601 74 NORRKÖPING ISAK-Institutionen för studier av samhällsutveckling och kultur ISRN: LIU-ISAK/KSM-G -- 12/01 -- SE Handledare: Konstantin Economou Nyckelord: Konsumtion, konsumism, realityserie, Zygmunt Bauman, The Hills Sammanfattning Detta är en kvalitativ och delvis kvantitativ studie med syftet att analysera konsumistiska tendenser i den amerikanska realityserien The Hills utifrån Zygmunt Baumans teorier om konsumtion och konsumism. Frågeställningen lyder: manifesteras en konsumistisk livsstil i The Hills och i så fall hur? Av de drygt 100 avsnitt som finns av The Hills valde vi 18 stycken, tre avsnitt per säsong, att analysera. Analysmetoden inspireras av bland annat Susanna Hornig Priests bok Doing media research: an introduction om kvalitativ innehållsanalys och vi har sedan använt oss av delar från de olika teoriavsnitten. I vår kvantitativa analys har vi använt oss av en tabell som visar hur många minuter och sekunder per avsnitt som spenderas i en viss miljö. I slutdiskussionen diskuterar vi fritt kring The Hills och hur konsumtion och konsumism yttrar sig i serien. Vårt slutresultat är slutligen att serien egentligen inte skildrar konsumtion men konsumism och förmedlar i sin tur konsumistiska ideal till sina tittare

  • Sargent, Dick (1930-1994) by Linda Rapp
    Sargent, Dick (1930-1994) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Actor Dick Sargent is most widely remembered as "the second Darrin" on the situation comedy Bewitched. He remained closeted for most of his career, but came out in 1991 and embraced gay activism as a "new mission in life." Sargent was born Richard Cox in Carmel, California on April 19, 1930. His mother, Ruth McNaughton Cox, had been an actress in silent films. His father, Colonel Elmer Cox, had served with distinction in World War I. Sargent's relationship with his father was difficult. "I wanted him to love me, and I'm quite sure that he didn't," he commented in 1991. Cox died of a stroke when Sargent was eleven, and afterward the boy was sent off to military school. He was so unhappy that he went on a crash diet to get himself expelled for poor health. Once back home he graduated from high school and entered Stanford University, where he studied acting and appeared in a number of student productions. During those years he came to realize that he was gay, which filled him with anxiety and led him to "a couple of good college tries at suicide." Sargent left Stanford to pursue a career as an actor. He did odd jobs to sustain himself while working on stage and eventually finding minor screen parts. After appearances in several forgettable films, Sargent won roles--albeit still small ones--in more successful productions, including The Great Impostor (directed by Richard Mulligan, 1960) and That Touch of Mink (directed by Delbert Mink, 1962).

  • 178 Samantha Stevens of Bewitched on Her Perch
    178 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2012 Samantha Stevens of Bewitched on Her Perch This statue was installed in 2005 amid great controversy. 179 Bewitched and Bewildered: Salem Witches, Empty Factories, and Tourist Dollars ROBERT E. WEIR Abstract: In 2005, witchcraft hysteria once again roiled the city of Salem, Massachusetts. This time, however, city residents divided over a new monument—a statue honoring Samantha Stephens, a fictional witch from the television sitcom Bewitched. In the minds of many, the Stephens statue was tacky and an insult to the history, memory, and heritage of the tragic days of 1692, when a more deadly hysteria led to the executions of twenty townspeople. To the statue’s defenders, the Samantha Stephens representation was merely a bit of whimsy designed to supplement marketing plans to cement Salem’s reputation as a tourist destination. This article sides largely with the second perspective, but with a twist. It argues that Samantha Stephens is worthy of memorializing because the 1970 filming ofBewitched episodes in Salem is largely responsible for the city’s tourist trade. The article traces changing perspectives on witchcraft since the seventeenth century and, more importantly, places those changes in economic context to show the mutability of history, memory, and heritage across time. Ultimately, Samantha Stephens helped rescue Salem from a devastating twentieth-century demon: deindustrialization. Dr. Robert E. Weir is the author of six books and numerous articles dealing with social, labor, and cultural history.1 * * * * * Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol. 40 (1/2), Summer 2012 © Institute for Massachusetts Studies, Westfield State University 180 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Summer 2012 On June 15, 2005, the city of Salem, Massachusetts unveiled its newest monument.
