  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.

A Dissertation in Anthropology by Martin Hughes Welker 2018 Martin Hughes Welker Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2018 The dissertation of Martin Hughes Welker was reviewed and approved* by the following: Sarah B. McClure Associate Professor of Anthropology Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Douglas J. Kennett Professor of Anthropology Head of the Department of Anthropology Douglass W. Bird Associate Professor of Anthropology Ellen Stroud Associate Professor of History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT The domestication of animal species was followed by the development of breeds, or distinct populations that are both homogenous in appearance and differentiable from others of the same species (Clutton-Brock 2012). Breeds emerge through a combination of natural and artificial selection acting upon animal species in close association with human populations. In many cases (e.g., Clydesdale horses, Black Angus cattle, Border Collies) breed development can reflect the role particular populations play within human communities. As a result, understanding when, where, and how morphologically distinct populations of domesticates emerge has significant potential for furthering our understanding of human-animal relationships and interaction. Identifying and understanding the domestication process, the roles of domestic plant and animal species in agricultural and forager societies, and the ecological impacts of domesticates on human societies remain among archaeology’s “Grand Challenges” (Kintigh et al.

  • The Art Education of Recklessness: Thinking Scholarship Through the Essay
    The Art Education of Recklessness: Thinking Scholarship through the Essay DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Stephen Mark Morrow, M.A. Graduate Program in Arts Administration, Education and Policy The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: John Richardson, Ph.D., Advisor Jennifer Richardson, Ph.D. Sydney Walker, Ph.D. Copyrighted by Stephen Mark Morrow 2017 Abstract This document has been (for me, writing) and is (for you, reading) a journey. It started with a passing remark in Gilles Deleuze’s 1981 book Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation. That remark concerned the cliché. The psychic clichés within us all. The greatest accomplishment of the mind is thinking, which according to Deleuze means clawing through and beyond the cliché. But how? I found in my research that higher education art schools (like the higher education English departments in which I had for years taught) claim to teach thinking, sometimes written as “critical thinking,” in addition to all the necessary skills of artmaking. For this dissertation, I set off on a journey to understand what thinking is, finding that Deleuze’s study of the dogmatic image of thought and its challenger, the new image of thought—a study he calls noo-ology—to be quite useful in understanding the history of the cliché and originality, and for understanding a problematic within the part of art education that purports to use Deleuzian concepts toward original thinking/artmaking. This document is both about original contributions to any field and is my original contribution to the field.

  • M Memo (Draft)
    M CONFIDENTIAL Copyright ã 2016 Microsoft Corporation M Memo (Draft) To: Bill Gates From: Steven Sinofsky Subject: Computing at Cornell and the Internet Date: Feb 13, 1994 (50) cc: LIST Introduction This memo is a brief overview of the use of the Internet at Cornell University. I was recently stranded there for 2 days because of the weather and used the time to meet with some people that I worked with when I was an undergraduate. While walking around campus it became abundantly clear to me that in the year since I was last there the computing environment had undergone a radical change. The purpose of this memo is just to show how much can be done in a short time using mostly free software. The key backbone, as we will see, is the universal adoption of the TCP/IP protocol along with a large number of free interfaces and protocols. J Allard has written an excellent memo that gives a brief overview of the main services available on today’s Internet. He also includes some detailed recommendations to Microsoft to follow. I have some similar recommendations at the end of this document. I apologize in advance if I sound a little bit like a Cornell cheerleader or romanticize a bit too much. This is my alma mater after all (‘87). I am in an interesting position to observe the changes outlined in the memo since I was at Cornell just prior to the introduction of the Macintosh and worked for the information technology group for the four years that I was a student.

ABSTRACT FATAL ATTRACTIONS: AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS AND THE AIDS CRISIS June 2015 Sean A. Guynes, B.A., Western Washington University M.A., University of Massachusetts Boston Advisor: Aaron Lecklider, Ph.D. Second Reader: Rachel Rubin, Ph.D. Between 1988 and 1994 American comic books engaged the politics, problematics, and crises of the AIDS epidemic by inserting the virus and its social, cultural, and epidemiological effects on gay men into the four-color fantasies of the superhero genre. As the comic-book industry was undergoing major internal changes that allowed for more mature, adult storylines, creators challenged the Comics Code Authority’s 1954 sanction against the representation of homosexuality to create, for the first time, openly gay characters. Creators’ efforts were driven by a desire to recognize the reality of gay men’s lived experiences, especially crucial in the epidemic time of the AIDS crisis.
