  • Will You Marry Me? Spectacle and Consumption in the Ritual of Marriage Proposals
    Will You Marry Me? Spectacle and Consumption in the Ritual of Marriage Proposals Phillip Vannini Department of Sociology University of Victoria Address all correspondence to Phillip Vannini, Department of Sociology, University of Victoria, Victoria BC, V8W 3P5, Canada. Fax: Fax (250) 721-6217. Email: [email protected]. 1 Abstract This article examines the marriage proposal ritual in contemporary American society. A marriage proposal represents a critical shift in a romantic relationship; by formalizing one’s engagement through the exchange of symbols and sharing of intentions couples exit the dating phase and project themselves toward married life. I analyze a set of narratives of marriage proposals posted on the World Wide Web and collected on various Web sites. By arguing that the marriage proposal is a symbolic ritual enacted by social agents following socially accepted prescriptions and roles, I discuss the relevance of the marriage proposal in the greater context of a post-industrial consumer culture. In particular, I discuss the process of construction of self-presentation strategies that abide by the logic of spectacle and sign value. But certainly for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, the appearance to the essence... illusion only is sacred, truth profane. Nay, sacredness is held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be the highest degree of sacredness. Ludwig Feuerbach (1957), Preface to the second edition of The Essence of Christianity Joel Fernghetti has been dating Annie Fredericks for over 4 years.

  • Vanya and Sonya and Mash and Spike: the Study Guide
    Vanya and Sonya and Mash and Spike: The Study Guide Meet the Playwright Christopher Durang, a playwright and actor, is a published writer who typically crafts comedies – satire, dark comedy, parody, or absurdist. The Idiots of Karamazov, co-authored with Yale classmate Albert Innaurato, was his first professional production at the Yale Repertory Theatre and featured then student Meryl Streep. Next, in 1975, his play The Nature and Purpose of the Universe was presented off-off Broadway at the Direct Theatre. A History of the American Film was a play that was produced by the Eugene O’Neill National Playwriting Conference in 1976, and then had three back-to-back productions at the Hartford Stage Company, Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, and Arena Stage in Washington D.C. Following this “triple premiere” it moved to Broadway and earned Durang a Tony nomination for Best Book of a Musical. In 1979, Durang and Sigourney Weaver rewrote Das Lusitania Songspiel, which became a cult success that satirized the work of Brecht and Weill with mishmashes of current shows. The musical garnered both Durang and Weaver Drama Desk nominations for Best Performer in a Musical. Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You was another success. Despite a rough start in raising money to move it to a commercial production, Andre Bishop re-presented the play and garnered favor from critics, moving the play to Off-Broadway for a run lasting over two years. He soon had several more plays published and performed, including Beyond Therapy (1981), Baby With The Bathwater (1983), The Marriage of Bette and Boo (1985).
