    Deadness Technologies of the Intermundane Jason Stanyek and Benjamin Piekut

    Deadness Technologies of the Intermundane Jason Stanyek and Benjamin Piekut Figure 1. A meeting of mouths, from Natalie Cole, Unforgettable, directed by Steve Barron. New York: Elektra Video, 1991. (Screen shot by Jason Stanyek and Benjamin Piekut) In late capitalism, the dead are highly productive. Of course, all capital is dead labor, but the dead also generate capital in collaboration with the living. What is “late” about late capitalism could be the new arrangements of interpenetration between worlds of living and dead, arrange- ments that might best be termed intermundane. As Joseph Roach writes, “modernity itself might be understood as a new way of handling (and thinking about) the dead,” but the mechanisms and procedures through which this handling takes place are under constant revision (1996:14). While Roach is concerned with mapping “a revolutionary spatial paradigm: the segregation of the dead from the living” (48) in early modern Europe and its colonies, we are interested in a later arrangement of bio- and necroworlds, one centered on production of several kinds: social, economic, cultural, and affective. In this arrangement, the living do not one-sidedly handle the dead, but participate in an inter-handling, a mutually effective co-laboring. TDR: The Drama Review 54:1 (T205) Spring 2010. ©2010 14 New York University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology “Death isn’t the end,” remarks Mark Roesler, the CEO of CMG Worldwide, an intellectual property management company that plays an important role in the growing field of “necro- marketing” (in Hoffman 2005).1 In what could be seen as a case of millennial anxiety over the reconfiguration of labor in a burgeoning necro market, Forbes in 2001 began publishing their annual list of “Top Earning Dead Celebrities,” which for the past seven years has been fleshed out by a barely rotating cast of actors, writers, artists, and musicians: Marilyn Monroe, Charles Schultz, J.R.R.

The organ, an early 87-key Gavioli, was built in 1898 and now forms part of the extensive collection of Mike Dree- lan, a prominent collector of steam and other road vehicles. It is not known exactly where the organ was first used commercially, but it was possibly somewhere in Belgium; at some point it was ex- ported to the United States where it provided the music for a carousel in a permanent amusement park. In the late 1920s the organ was rebuilt by the B.A.B. Organ Company of Brooklyn, New York. At this time, the Gavioli keyframe was removed and the scale changed to their own 80-keyless book system, making the old library of music redundant. A new selection of popular music was then supplied for it. Later, the organ operated at Almonesson Lake, a permanent amusement park in New Jersey.

The purpose of this packet is to both assist you in preparing your students for Salt Creek Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker ballet as well as provide you with several ways in which to integrate the dance experience into your daily academic curriculum. Although the students will only view specific portions of the ballet (the end of Act I and part of Act II), we encourage you and your students to learn more about ballet and the complete story of The Nutcracker ballet by using the pre-performance discussion activities provided below. After attending the performance, you may help the students “dive more deeply” by using any of the suggested post-performance writing or discussion activities provided.
