In doing so, this study breaks with the performance analysis tradition in flm and media studies, arguing that screen acting is the solicitation of three distinct, overlapping, and complementary empathetic relationships. Tis theoretical claim, which combines cognitive science with phenomenological philosophy, is qualifed by ethnographic data from interviews with professional screen actors and with examples from prominent American Method Acting practices. By prioritizing the screen LebergDaniel actor’s process over a semiotic dissection of the fnal performance on screen, this research reassesses the screen actor’s creative agency as being more than just another “moving part” of the mise-en-scene.

    PHENOMENAL BODIES, PHENOMENAL GIRLS: HOW YOUNG ADOLESCENT GIRLS EXPERIENCE BEING ENOUGH IN THEIR BODIES by HILARY ELIZABETH HUGHES (Under the Direction of Mark D. Vagle) ABSTRACT Drawing on philosophers (Ahmed, 2006; Fanon, 1986; Heidegger, 1927, 1962, 1992; Merleau-Ponty, 1962) and social science scholars (Dahlberg, Dahlberg, & Nystrom, 2008; Vagle, 2009, 2010, 2011; van Manen, 1990, 2000) for this phenomenological study, I asked what it was like for the seventh grade girls who participated with me in a year-long writing group to experience moments where they found themselves in bodily-not-enoughness: moments when someone or something was telling them they were not enough of something in their bodies. Using a multigenre magazine format for the dissertation, I describe how I learned—as an adult, a qualitative researcher, a middle grades teacher, and a teacher educator—from these seventh grade girls how to be-enough in my own body, by illustrating various moments when some of the girls seemed to talk-back-TO those societal messages telling them they were not pretty- enough, thin-enough, English-speaking-enough, white-enough, popular-enough, or smart-enough by embodying some kind of resistance-to those messages. I then suggest that if we as adults, qualitative researchers, middle grades educators, and teacher educators wish to try and understand better how female young adolescents of color experience living in their bodies, we should begin listening differently so that we can begin seeing/knowing/thinking the bodies of young adolescents,

    PRODUCTION BEGINS ON SEASON 2 OF GLOBAL’S CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED MINI-SERIES MARY KILLS PEOPLE Canadians Rachelle Lefevre and Ian Lake Join the Cast Alongside Returning Series Stars Caroline Dhavernas, Jay Ryan, and Richard Short The Compelling Drama Joins Global’s Schedule in Winter 2018 “[…] Mary Kills People is a remarkable achievement, balancing so many hues and tones so deftly. It is also very, very entertaining. At times intense and thought-provoking, it is a fascinating excursion to a different realm of comedy/drama.” – The Globe and Mail “Mary Kills People is an energetic, savvy program that combines elements of crime thrillers, medical soaps, and propulsive character drama, employing all those recognizable forms to illuminate the complexity of the knotty issues at its core.” – Variety “But in addition to terrific writing and strong cinematography, the chemistry that [Tassie] Cameron, along with her sister Amy Cameron, brought together with this cast is palpable.” – Sun TV “Mary Kills People is more than its unique premise, with a layered lead performance and consistently entertaining narrative keeping the show's dark comedy grounded in relatable reality.” – Rotten Tomatoes “The writers know that often times you need to laugh to make it through the pain, and they give Mary a wry sense of humor to break up all the death and running from the cops.” – Vulture For photography and press kit materials visit: http://www.corusent.com/ Follow us on Twitter at @GlobalTV_PR To share this release socially: http://bit.ly/2wgRzsj For Immediate Release TORONTO, August 21, 2017 – Canadian broadcast and production partner Corus Entertainment, with Entertainment One (eOne) and Cameron Pictures Inc., are pleased to announce that production has begun on the second cycle of Global’s critically-acclaimed drama Mary Kills People.
