    Wesleyan University The Honors College A Transformation of the First Ladyship: Jacqueline Kennedy and the Refashioning of American Cultural Visuality in the Early 1960s by Maria Nicole Massad Class of 2016 A thesis submitted to the faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Departmental Honors in History Middletown, Connecticut April 12, 2016 Acknowledgements Before I begin my analysis of Jacqueline Kennedy’s First Ladyship, I want to thank several people without whom their guidance this project might never have been possible. First, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my thesis advisor, Professor Patricia Hill. I owe so much to your wisdom, good judgment, and enthusiasm for my project. You helped me better articulate my ideas and strengthen my writing into a more cohesive argument. Your direction and support have been invaluable, and I sincerely thank you for your mentorship. To my academic advisor, Professor Ronald Schatz, who has cheered me on throughout my career as a student of history at Wesleyan University and ardently encouraged my decision to write a thesis. I am so grateful that I chose to take your “20th Century U.S. History” course; after all, it planted the seed of inquiry in my mind to investigate the impact of American culture during the 1960s. To Lauren Noyes and the staff of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, I thank you for assisting with my research endeavors in the archives this past summer. If not for your help, this project would not have come to fruition.

THE %V.IHT‘f.TON PfisT fit/VI 1)qr-3 Jack 'Mena One Day's Passage of Power From the motorcade, to the hospital, to Air Force One—and to the White House. rode serenely in the motorcade in the sixth Icar following the open convertible carrying President Kennedy and his wife, as well as John Connally, the governor of Texas, and his wife, Nellie. My advertising agency was han- dling the press during the Texas visit by the president and the vice president, and I came to that Dallas motorcade as the guest of Vice President Johnson. The day began so full of promise, the motor- cade moving slowing by teeming crowds along the streets, nary a hostile sign, only prolonged cheers and warm waves of affection from my fellow Texans. Liz Carpenter smiled happily at me, They do love this president, don't they?" she murmured. We turned under the overpass and around the grassy knoll onto Dealey Plaza nearing a building of forgettable architecture called the Texas School Book Depository: And then began those few minutes of wild disproportion, a ricochet of fear wrapped in ter- ror inside a nightmare. The car in front of us leaped forward, tires screaming against pave- ment, an Indianapolis racer. The sidewalks swarmed with people. The laughter vanished. 1t6"IN F [I The hospitable faces now puzzled, somber.

  • JACQUELINE KENNEDY and the POLITICS of POPULARITY by COURTNEY CAUDLE TRAVERS DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Th
    JACQUELINE KENNEDY AND THE POLITICS OF POPULARITY BY COURTNEY CAUDLE TRAVERS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor John Murphy, Chair Associate Professor Cara Finnegan Associate Professor Ned O’Gorman Associate Professor Jennifer Greenhill Associate Professor Pat Gill Abstract Although her role as first lady marked the real beginning of the American public’s fascination with her, Jacqueline Kennedy’s celebrity status endured throughout her life. Dozens of books have sought to chronicle that mystique, hail her style, and commend her contribution to the youthful persona of the Kennedy administration. She seems to be an object ripe for rhetorical study; yet, for many communication scholars, Kennedy’s cultural iconicity diminishes her legacy as First Lady, and she remains an exemplar of political passivity. Her influence on the American public’s cultural and political imagination, however, demonstrates a need for scholars to assess with greater depth her development from First Lady to American icon in the early 1960s. Thus, this dissertation focuses on three case studies that analyze Jacqueline Kennedy’s image across different media: fashion spreads in Vogue magazine and Harper’s Bazaar published immediately after the inauguration in 1961; her televised tour of the White House broadcast in February 1962; and Andy Warhol’s 1964 Jackie prints, which drew from her construction of the Camelot myth after JFK’s funeral. These case studies seek to show how “icon” becomes an inventional and conceptual resource for the role of a modern first lady and how Kennedy’s shift to public icon in her own right (after and outside of her position as first lady) was mediated in nuanced ways that both reflected early Cold War (suburban) culture and shaped the larger institutional discourses of which she was part.
