    SETTING UP CAMP: IDENTIFYING CAMP THROUGH THEME AND STRUCTURE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael T. Schuyler January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Cornelius B. Pratt, Advisory Chair, Strategic Communication John A. Lent, Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Mass Media Paul Swann, Film & Media Arts Roberta Sloan, External Member, Theater i © Copyright 2010 by Michael T. Schuyler All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Camp scholarship remains vague. While academics don’t shy away from writing about this form, most exemplify it more than define it. Some even refuse to define it altogether, arguing that any such attempt causes more problems than it solves. So, I ask the question, can we define camp via its structure, theme and character types? After all, we can do so for most other genres, such as the slasher film, the situation comedy or even the country song; therefore, if camp relies upon identifiable character types and proliferates the same theme repeatedly, then, it exists as a narrative system. In exploring this, I find that, as a narrative system, though, camp doesn’t add to the dominant discursive system. Rather, it exists in opposition to it, for camp disseminates the theme that those outside of heteronormativity and acceptability triumph not in spite of but because of what makes them “different,” “othered” or “marginalized.” Camp takes many forms. So, to demonstrate its reliance upon a certain structure, stock character types and a specific theme, I look at the overlaps between seemingly disperate examples of this phenomenon.

  • Bad for Good William D
    Bad For Good William D. Routt Beyond good and evil [1] Even before Tim Burton made a movie based on his life, almost everyone knew two things about Edward D. Wood, Jr. The first was that he directed "the worst movie ever made", Plan 9 From Outer Space (1956). The second was that he was a transvestite. The two things seem to be linked in some way - or, at least, they often crop up together, as they did just now. And, when you think about it, that is strange.[2] But then, reactions to Ed Wood do tend towards the strange. I remember when I first saw Plan 9. It was on television. In fact, I cannot imagine seeing an Ed Wood movie anywhere else but on television; they were made-for-TV, direct-to-video, before such forms were invented. It was late at night (of course). I was tired and the experience was a hallucinatory one. The film did not seem to have a plot. It opened with "Criswell Predicts", for God's sake! Now and then there were shots of Bela Lugosi stalking with his cape over his eyes (not Lugosi at all, as I later learned) and Vampira staring through creepy branches and Tor Johnson menacing with his arms raised and his mouth open. Cadillac hubcaps (or paper plates or plastic models - anyhow, not flying saucers) spinning across the sky. A tremendous amount of stock footage. Meandering pointless dialogue. Nothing happened: it was a movie of pure effect. For years afterward I described this film of my imagining, whose title I had forgotten, to people who were not interested.

  • I Look at This Slush and Try to Remember — at One Time I Made Good
    54 SHOWGIRLS, TEEN WOLVES AND ASTRO ZOMBIES HOLY WOOD! Growing up, we were always a family of movie-watchers. When my mum passed away in 2006, I devoted my only Empire editorial to how her guiding me through early screenings of The Wizard Of Oz and Psycho greatly informed my appreciation of how cinema could be artistic, scary and funny all at once. Her simple advice — ‘If a movie doesn’t grab you within 10 minutes, it’s probably not going to’ — similarly has stuck with me, both as a reviewer and a would-be scriptwriter. Dad’s appreciation of movies was less theoretical but also resonant. Two decades of watching war movies with the retired army reservist — ‘Look at that, walking on a ridge in silhouette!’ was a favourite, followed by a machine-gun noise to indicate he’d just killed all of our heroes — bred an intolerance for flagrant inauthenticity. It was also Dad, who as a salesman for publishers Harper & Row, one night brought home J. Hoberman and Jonathan MARCH Rosenbaum’s fantastic 1983 book Midnight Movies, which expanded my film reading beyond Famous Monsters, Starlog and Fangoria and opened my eyes to — and created an appetite for — the alternative cinema of George Romero, John Waters, David Lynch and Ed Wood. A year later, through his connections, Dad put me forward for a ‘Kids rate the movies’ feature in the Sydney Morning Herald. My 300-word review, of an Aussie flick called Street Hero, wasn’t exactly Pauline Kael calibre (‘The only fault I could pick, in my opinion, is that some scenes are a little unrealistic …’) but it was a start and definitely helped chart my course.

Repository: Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library Abstract: Pulp novels written anonymously and under various pseudonyms of the legendary psycho-sexual author and film-maker, Ed Wood, Jr., collected by pulp scholar Robert Legault (1950 to 2008). In addition, magazines, reference materials, posters and other ephemera. Language: Collection material in English BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Edward Davis Wood, Jr. (October 10, 1924 to December 10, 1978), better known as Ed Wood, was an American screenwriter, director, producer, actor, author, and editor, who made a number of low-budget genre films and published pulp novels under various names. Ed Wood's fiction is as strange, idiosyncratic and out of step with his times and mores as his infamous movies. His novels inter-splice erotic segments with lengthy philosophical, sociological and psychological discourse. Rudolph Grey's biography "Nightmare of Ecstasy: The Life and Art of Edward D. Wood, Jr." (1992) and Tim Burton's biopic "Ed Wood," which earned two Academy Awards, brought attention to his life and work.

Continuum, (doi:10.1080/10304312.2019.1677979) There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/201651/ Deposited on: 14 November 2019 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Madman, genius, hack, auteur?: Intertextuality, extratextuality, and intention in ‘Ed Wood films’ after Plan 9 From Outer Space (Becky Bartlett) Edward D. Wood, Jr’s position as a ‘romantic’ cult auteur (Sexton & Mathijs 2012, 68) was initially established in the 1980s, and has since been solidified through repetition in academic and fan-authored literature, as well as other exegetic texts including Tim Burton’s biopic Ed Wood (1994), adapted from Rudolf Grey’s excellent, and far more comprehensive, biography Nightmare of Ecstasy (1992). Through these texts and others, the ‘character’ of Wood (Routt 2001, 2) has been constructed as a sympathetic outsider, a ‘unique’ auteur with a distinctive vision. He is also, as is well known, the ‘worst director of all time,’ having been awarded the title after his fourth directorial feature, Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959) was voted the ‘worst film of all time’ in a readers’ poll for The Golden Turkey Awards (Medved and Medved 1980). On the surface, these identities might seem incompatible. Andrew Sarris proposes ‘technical competence’ as the first criterion through which auteur status is established, because a ‘great director has to be at least a good director’ (Sarris 2000, in Sitney 2000, 132).

    A New Queer Trinity: A Semiotic, Genre Theory, and Auto-Ethnographic Examination of Reeling: The Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jessica L. Hey, MA, BA Graduate Program in Arts Administration, Education and Policy The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: James H. Sanders III, Advisor Shari M. Savage Deborah L. Smith-Shank Copyright by Jessica L. Hey 2017 ABSTRACT This doctoral study concerns itself with the visual representations of The Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival (a.k.a. Reeling) with specific attention paid to their marketing campaign materials, as exemplified by the annually created festival POSTER. It is my aim to situate these posters alongside the historical contexts of queer identity, socio- political advocacy, and LGBTQ+ cinema. This analysis will navigate the 36-year period of the festival organization’s existence, providing key, in-depth interrogations into the decades, images, and trends both visual and narrative. My unpacking and theoretical discussions of the festival’s visual culture has been informed by the practices of semiotics and film genre theory. These methods were employed to answer the primary research question: How have the POSTER advertisements, as visual signifiers for The Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival, symbolized their organization’s mission, represented queer identities, and engaged with the politically
