Written in 1966, just before his near-fatal motorcycle accident, the work seems more imposing today than it did then.

Genre as Bait: Using Pop Soundtrack as Narrative Counterpoint or Complement By: Margaret Dudasik May 15, 2013 BA Film & Screen Studies/ BFA Musical Theatre Dr. Ruth Johnston Film & Screen Studies, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences 1 Abstract There is much argument against using pre-existing music in film, Ian Garwood noting three potential problems with the pop song: obtrusiveness, cultural relevance, and distance from the narrative (103-106). It is believed that lyrics and cultural connotations can distract from the action, but it is my belief that these elements only aid narrative. By examining the cinematic functions of the soundtracks of O Brother Where Are Thou? (2000) and Marie Antoinette (2006), I will argue that using pre-existing music in film is actually more effective than a score composed specifically for a film. Film theorist Claudia Gorbman notes that film scores have “temporal, spatial, dramatic, structural, denotative, [and] connotative” abilities” (22), and it is my belief that pop music is just as economical in forming character, conveying setting, and furthering plot.

  • Post-Catholic Ireland in Literature and Popular Culture
    P O S T - C A T H O L I C I R E L A N D I N L I T E R A T U R E A N D POPULAR CULTURE Lisa McGonigle A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand April 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis proposes the concept of turn-of-the-millennium Irish culture as “post-Catholic”. It outlines how the Catholic Church had occupied so powerful a position in the post- independent Irish State, but recent decades have seen such profound changes in the moral and political authority ceded to the Church. This thesis therefore argues that the dissolution of the Church’s hegemony constitutes a paradigm sociopolitical and cultural shift, which it defines as the move from a Catholic to post-Catholic society. It also argues that this shift has been both reflected in and effected by literature and popular culture, focusing in particular on issues of gender and sexuality in selected cultural texts. Chapter One examines how Marian Keyes uses the chick-lit novel to write back against conservative Catholicism and the maternalisation of Irish women, supplanting the “Irish Catholic Mammy” with a younger, sexually active generation of Irish women who do not define their subjectivity in terms of their maternal duties. It argues that Keyes’ hostility towards the Catholic Church affects, indeed directs, the sexual politics and frankness of her work and her treatment of topics such as abortion and divorce. Chapter Two investigates how popular novelist Maeve Binchy explores female sexuality and desire in opposition to a traditional Catholic discourse of sin and virtue.

  • Don Alan Pennebaker [*] Kevin Finner
    Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 5.2, 2010 // 203 Don Alan Pennebaker [*] Kevin Finner [*] Don Alan Pennebaker, auch nominiert als D.A., Don A. oder Donn A. Pennebaker. Geboren am 15. Juli 1925, dreht der heute vierundachtzigjährige Don Alan Pennebaker, Sohn eines Fotografen, noch immer Filme. Nach seinem Militärdienst und einem Ingenieurstudium in Yale sowie am M.I.T in Cambridge arbeitete er in verschiedenen Berufen, bevor er auf Drew und Leacock stieß. Michael Barchet zufolge verdiente Pennebaker sein Geld zunächst als Werbetexter und entwickelte u.a. ein computergestütztes Buchungssystem für Fluglinien (Barchet 1991, 154). Inspiriert durch den Filmemacher Francis Thompson drehte Pennebaker mit Ende zwanzig mit DAYBREAK EXPRESS (1953) und BABY (1954) seine ersten Filme über die New Yorker U-Bahn und einen Zoobesuch mit seiner Tochter. Letzterer war eigentlich nichts anderes als ein Amateur-Familienfilm. Jedoch wurde ihm während des Schneidens bewusst, dass er nicht seinem Material eine Story aufdrängen, sondern dass er sich Story und Rhythmus später in der Montage aus sich selbst heraus entwickeln lassen sollte (Saunders 2007, 10). Zusammen mit Richard Leacock wurde Pennebaker ein Gründungsmitglied von Drew Associates und arbeite dort für die nächsten drei Jahre. Nach den Erfolgen um PRIMARY (1960, Robert Drew), THE CHAIR (1963, ROBERT DREW) und CRISIS: BEHIND A PRESIDENTIAL COMMITMENT (1963, Robert Drew) sah sich Pennebaker nicht mehr in der Lage, die Forderungen von ABC, Time-Life und Drew zu erfüllen und strebte zusammen mit Leacock nach mehr künstlerischer Freiheit: My decision to quit wasn’t the result of any great moral conflict, I simply wasn’t able to fulfill their demands, because I realized that our process of filming could produce better films.

  • Youssou Ndour: I Bring What I Love
    YOUSSOU NDOUR: I BRING WHAT I LOVE Directed and Produced by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi Publicity Outreach & Promotion: Distributor: (National, NY, LA): Karen O’Hara Ken Eisen Frank Lomento O’Hara Promotions Shadow Distribution 42 West 520-326-0813 207-872-5111 646-467-9056 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] SHORT SYNOPSIS Youssou Ndour: I Bring What I Love is a music-infused cinematic journey about the power of one man’s voice to inspire change. One of Time magazine’s100 most influential people in the world and called “the rare rock star whose music matters,” Senegalese singer Youssou Ndour is beloved internationally and at home. In 2005, the Grammy- winning artist defied expectations and produced his most personal album, Egypt, presenting his Islamic faith as a peaceable and tolerant religion. While the record received international acclaim, it was denounced as blasphemy in his native Senegal. Director Chai Vasarhelyi follows Ndour for over two years, filming in Africa, Europe, and America, to tell the story of how he faces these challenges and eventually wins over audiences both at home and abroad. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT A friend introduced me to Youssou’s music six months before I started shooting this film. I didn’t understand a word, but it didn’t matter. His songs were magic, and gave me the idea for a big, beautiful film about Africa. At the time, I felt helpless and frustrated by the political situation in the world. Youssou and his actions, however, constantly defy the sentiment that we, as individuals, are unable to create change.

Duncan, B.A., M.Ed. Denton, Texas May, 1994 LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY IN POST-1800 IRISH DRAMA DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Dawn E. Duncan, B.A., M.Ed. Denton, Texas May, 1994 Duncan, Dawn E., Language and Identity in Post-1800 Irish Drama. Doctor of Philosophy (English), May, 1994, 249 pp., works cited, 115 titles. Using a sociolinguistic and post-colonial approach, I analyze Irish dramas that speak about language and its connection to national identity. In order to provide a systematic and wide-ranging study, I have selected plays written at approximately fifty- year intervals and performed before Irish audiences contemporary to their writing. The writers selected represent various aspects of Irish society—religiously, economically, and geographically—and arguably may be considered the outstanding theatrical Irish voices of their respective generations.
