Samoan Submission Machines
Samoan Submission Machines: Grappling with Representations of Samoan Identity in Professional Wrestling Theo Plothe1 Savannah State University [email protected] Amongst the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. The discussion of Samoan identity in the context of sport has examined Maori identity and masculinity in New Zealand, among other topics, but there has yet to be work which considers Samoans within professional wrestling. This research investigates Samoan identity through a content analysis of televised wrestling matches. This research identifies six primary stereotypes under which Samoan identity is portrayed. These portrayals of Samoan characters, I argue, flatten the representation of this ethnic group within wrestling and culture at large. Keywords: Samoans, identity, representation, gimmicks Introduction Among the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. This research investigates the identity of Samoans within professional wrestling, and the different ways they are constructed and presented to audiences. “Gimmicks,” characters portrayed by a wrestler “resulting in the sum of fictional elements, attire and wrestling ability” (Oliva and Calleja 3) utilized by Samoans have run the gamut from the wild uncivilized savage, to the sumo (both in villainous Japanese and comically absurd iterations), to the ultra-cool mogul who wears silk shirts and fancy shoes. Their ability to cut promos, an important facet of the modern gimmick allowing wrestlers to address their opponents and storylines, varies widely as well, but all lie within their Samoan identity. -

A sua estreia no filme The Jazz Singer (Alan Crosland, 1927) estabeleceu-o, desde então, como um evento emancipado do estatuto hierarquicamente inferior de complemento da imagem, uma vez que contribuiu de forma direta para a fundação de novos géneros na produção mainstream de Hollywood. A presente dissertação visa estudar o advento do som como um catalisador na amplificação do tecido genológico do cinema clássico americano. Para tal, será feita uma contextualização histórica do processo de sonorização, seguida de um levantamento e análise de títulos produzidos entre 1927 e 1939 pertencentes ao filme musical, ao filme de terror, à comédia screwball e ao filme de gangsters, nos quais se atentará a sequências que confirmem o som como ferramental essencial na concretização da matriz do género em foco. -
