  • The Remembered War: the Korean War in American Culture, 1953-1995
    THE REMEMBERED WAR: THE KOREAN WAR IN AMERICAN CULTURE, 1953-1995 by JONATHAN C. MERRITT ANDREW J. HUEBNER, COMMITTEE CHAIR KARI FREDERICKSON EDWARD T. LINENTHAL MARGARET PEACOCK SARAH STEINBOCK-PRATT A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2017 Copyright Jonathan C. Merritt 2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT After three years of bitter fighting, the Korean War ended on July 27, 1953. It profoundly shaped and directed American Cold War policy for the next four decades. Korea’s place in American culture and memory, however, has seemingly been less profound. This dissertation reassesses the war’s legacy from the armistice in 1953 through the construction of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in 1995. It argues that representations of the war have shifted over time in response to contemporary social concerns, emphasizing different aspects of the war that resonated with Americans at the time. Simultaneously, the image of Korea as the Forgotten War has also shaped the war’s meaning and such a label, ironically, has had an important impact on how it has been remembered. Finally, the memory of Korea has been unable to escape the long shadows cast by other conflicts of the twentieth century, especially World War II and Vietnam. These wars have simultaneously limited and broadened the Korean War’s legacy. Taking these factors into consideration, this dissertation reassesses the Korean War’s place in American culture by tracing the various ways it has been remembered and represented.

    Coming Home: The Western, Media, and Masculinity By Norman M. Gendelman A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film & Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kristen Whissel, Chair Professor Mary Ann Doane Associate Professor Abigail De Kosnik Professor Emeritus Scott Simmon Fall 2020 Copyright 2020 by Norman Matthew Gendelman 1 Abstract Coming Home: The Western, Media, and Masculinity by Norman Matthew Gendelman Doctor of Philosophy in Film & Media University of California, Berkeley Professor Kristin Whissel, Chair In its analysis of four postwar Westerns (the films The Last Sunset and Gunman’s Walk, and the television Westerns Have Gun—Will Travel and The Rifleman), this dissertation finds a contradictory ideological strain intrinsic to the genre’s frontier legacy, as well as a critical semiosis specific to its production era. By centralizing the postwar era’s domestic concerns over and against the genre’s typical emphasis on the frontier mythos associated with Theodore Roosevelt, these Westerns subvert the stereotypical frontier/civilization dyad. By reconceiving the genre in a way that privileges “civilization” over “frontier,” this dissertation shows that the crucible of “savage” Nature, which formerly determined the exceptionality of the Westerner’s masculine character (as a synecdoche for an exceptional national one), is a cultural production that turns against civilization itself. Denuded of their naturalizing origin, and depicted as social productions within the dramatic action, the gunmen protagonists of each of these four Westerns additionally appear as complex gender constructions. By juxtaposing allusions from each Western to the ideological and aesthetic history of the genre and the socio-political context of the postwar era, the dissertation approaches the Cold War era as similarly mythological, constructed, and contradictory.

    July / Aug 2009 Noir City Sentinel 15 THE SENTINEL INTERVIEW ARNOLD LAVEN TALES OF THE DARK SIDE Arnold Laven is not typically associated with film noir. The vet- eran director/producer/writer is probably best remembered for his thoughtful war drama The Rack (1956), starring a young Paul Newman, and a pair of hit television series, The Rifleman and The Big Country, produced in conjunction with his longtime partners Arthur Gardner and the late Jules V. Levy. Laven also directed several superior crime films, including Without Warning! (1952), Hollywood’s first contemporary-serial-killer movie, and the n underrated Slaughter on Tenth Avenue (1957). During a wide- e v a L d ranging conversation with Alan K. Rode, Laven comes across as l o n r A y a charming man who, in the words of Sydney Greenstreet’s s e t r u Kasper Gutman, “likes to talk to a man who likes to talk.” o C Sentinel: Tell me about your early life think it paid 25 cents an hour—this at Warner Bros.

We understand that every person leaves a unique legacy and that the greatest tribute is not grief but gratitude for a life well lived. We are privileged to have been entrusted by so many families over the years. This Distinguished Residents Book features the biographies and photos of some of those individuals whose legacies have impacted our lives 2 and helped to shape our culture and our community. It has been created to honor their memory and to inspire generations by their extraordinary accomplishments, tenacity and philanthropy. There are stars whose brightness is visible on earth although they have long burned out. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world though they are no longer among the living.

  • Overdrive: L.A. Noir, 1940-1959 November 2—24, 2013 AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center
    Overdrive: L.A. Noir, 1940-1959 November 2—24, 2013 AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center Noir, as a film genre, is a slippery construct inspiring debates over style, story, context and time frame. What is easier to agree upon is the important role played by Los Angeles in noir storytelling. Between 1940 and 1959, the burgeoning metropolis of L.A. pushed ahead of New York in the total number of films noir set within its city limits. During this era, the City of Angels provided filmmakers with a sun-splashed and architecturally unique landscape (especially the soon- to-be bulldozed Bunker Hill neighborhood) in which the LAPD, hard-boiled private eyes, countless femmes fatales— and a few hommes, too—could navigate an unsettled, and unsettlingly amoral, world. In conjunction with the National Building Museum's current exhibition, "Overdrive: L.A. Constructs the Future, 1940 1990” (organized by the Getty Research Institute and the J. Paul Getty Museum), AFI Silver presents Overdrive: L.A. Noir, 1940-1959, the first half of a two-part series exploring L.A.’s modern architectural legacy in film.

  • Stanley Kubrick: Producers and Production Companies
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by De Montfort University Open Research Archive Stanley Kubrick: Producers and Production Companies Thesis submitted by James Fenwick In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, September 2017 1 Abstract This doctoral thesis examines filmmaker Stanley Kubrick’s role as a producer and the impact of the industrial contexts upon the role and his independent production companies. The thesis represents a significant intervention into the understanding of the much-misunderstood role of the producer by exploring how business, management, working relationships and financial contexts influenced Kubrick’s methods as a producer. The thesis also shows how Kubrick contributed to the transformation of industrial practices and the role of the producer in Hollywood, particularly in areas of legal authority, promotion and publicity, and distribution. The thesis also assesses the influence and impact of Kubrick’s methods of producing and the structure of his production companies in the shaping of his own reputation and brand of cinema. The thesis takes a case study approach across four distinct phases of Kubrick’s career. The first is Kubrick’s early years as an independent filmmaker, in which he made two privately funded feature films (1951-1955). The second will be an exploration of the Harris-Kubrick Pictures Corporation and its affiliation with Kirk Douglas’ Bryna Productions (1956-1962). Thirdly, the research will examine Kubrick’s formation of Hawk Films and Polaris Productions in the 1960s (1962-1968), with a deep focus on the latter and the vital role of vice-president of the company.
