Abstract Acknowledgments TOC 2
Voicing Modernism: Talk, Technology, and Aesthetics Sara Bryant Charlottesville, Virginia B. A., Bowdoin College, 1999 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Virginia August 2013 Bryant i ABSTRACT This project traces how modernists in the verbal and visual arts engage with embodied voice and its technological mediation. Through attention to theorists such as Kaja Silverman, Stanley Cavell, Mladen Dolar, and Bruno Latour, as well as through extensive archival research, I show how works of both British and American modernism from the 1920s to the early 1940s interrogate the political and aesthetic significance of the voice in modernity. Scholars such as Sara Danius and Douglas Kahn have provided compelling accounts of sound in modernity and modernism. Critical attention specifically to voice within the modern soundscape, however, has remained scant. Voice proves an elusive topic because even while blurring divisions between exterior and interior, subject and object, and mind and body in meaningful ways, it also proves resistant to the work of unsettling binaries such as human/nonhuman, phone/logos, and presence/absence. I demonstrate how modernist writers and filmmakers experiment with the shifting status of voice across media and genres as they explore concerns made urgent in the epoch of world war: technology’s purchase upon embodied experience, the gendered ramifications of this experience, and the troubled link between politics and aesthetics. This focus on voice in modernism allows me to link seemingly disparate artistic moments. My first chapter reads the filmmaker Dorothy Arzner’s meditations on gendered voice in her silent and sound films, situating her Hollywood career within modernist and feminist discourses about gender and filmic voice. -

DOROTHY ARZNER DOROTHY DOROTHY ARZNER PROGRAMMATION RÉTROSPECTIVE 22 MARS – 9 AVRIL EN PARTENARIAT AVEC LE FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DE FILMS DE FEMMES DE CRÉTEIL ET L’INSTITUT LUMIÈRE Le Phalène d’argent 57 DOROTHY ARZNER : UNE FEMME DANS UN MONDE D’HOMMES Elle fut l’une des rares femmes réalisatrices à avoir mené une carrière au cœur même du système des studios à Hollywood. D’abord monteuse et scénariste, elle signera la mise en scène d’une vingtaine de films entre 1927 et 1943, essen- tiellement pour la Paramount. Elle fera tourner quelques grandes vedettes du moment (Fredric March, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford). On lui doit une œuvre très personnelle, remarquable notamment par l’originalité de ses per- sonnages féminins. Dans l’histoire du cinéma américain, Dorothy Arzner n’a pas eu l’importance ni le succès d’une Lois Weber ou d’une Alice Guy Baché, deux immenses pionnières. Mais elle a la distinction d’avoir été la seule femme à faire carrière de réalisatrice à l’époque du studio system. En cela, malgré les récentes tentatives pour en faire une secrète héroïne du combat féministe, elle était logée à la même enseigne que des auteurs comme William Wellman, George Cukor ou Raoul Walsh, c’est-à-dire des réalisateurs qui dépendaient beaucoup des matériaux dont ils héritaient, qui militaient rarement pour faire tel ou tel film, mais au contraire s’arrangeaient presque toujours pour rendre ces histoires meilleures qu’elles ne le méritaient peut-être. C’est en cette façon de surmonter les gageures de casting ou de bud- get qu’ils faisaient preuve, ou non, de personnalité, et qu’on a pu les qualifier d’auteurs à une époque. -
