Houston, Texas May, 2018 ii Dedication To my parents and brother for the American dream that we embarked on together Para mis padres y hermano por el sueño Americano en que navegamos juntos iii Acknowledgements My dream of becoming a scientist was fulfilled with the support of many individuals and organizations that provided me with professional, educational, and emotional support. First, I would like to thank my parents, Mrs. Esperanza Peña-Rosales and Mr. Arturo Ramirez-Cuellar, for buying me my first microscope when I was six years old. Their sacrifices and perpetual support have allowed me to have the freedom to transform my education into the career of my dreams and encouraged me to fly as high as my heart desired. I would like to thank my brother, Arturo Ramirez-Peña, whose strength and positivity has always filled me with joy and laughter. I am thankful for the lessons I have learned from my family, particularly to be fearless, humble, and hard working in pursuit of great goals. I am eternally grateful to the MD Anderson Cancer Center UTHealth Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences for nurturing me in an environment that is dedicated to students’ success. The faculty and staff went above and beyond their job descriptions; they listened to my concerns, encouraged my curiosity, gave me the freedom to practice leadership and community service, and always made me feel welcome. I would like to thank my mentor, Dr. Sendurai A. Mani for giving me the opportunity to develop my projects with my own creative freedom, for opening the door to many collaborations while challenging me to improve my scientific skills to the best of my potential. I will always remember our first conversation where he told me that the most important quality a scientist should have is passion. In his lab, I was blessed to meet wonderful colleagues and I cherish all those times where we engaged in scientific discussions that challenged and motivated me. I want to thank my “lab sisters” and current members of the Mani lab, Dr. Rama Soundararajan, Dr. Petra Den Hollander, Dr. Robiya Joseph, Neeraja Bhangre, Dr. Sridevi Addanki, and Mr. Paul Allegakoen. They showed me that hard work can be accomplished in a supportive and positive environment. Working by their side has been one of the best experiences in my career. iv I would also like to acknowledge previous members of the Mani lab who mentored me and taught me many skills; Dr. Joe Taube, Dr. Tapasree Roy Sarkar, Dr. Anurag Paranjape, Dr. Steve Werden, Dr. Mika Pietilä and Dr. Nathalie Sphyris.

I would like to thank Ms. Vinita Shivakumar for sticking by my side for two years. She invigorated me with her curiosity and enthusiasm and mentoring her inspired me to strive to be a better teacher. I would like to thank our administrative support from the Translational Molecular Pathology (TMP) Department, Ms. Teresa Self, Ms. Barbara Sadeghi and Ms. Andrea Jones who always helped our lab run smoothly, and Dr. Celia Garcia-Prieto and Ms. Gabriela Mendoza for their assistance with my animal protocols. I am very grateful for the support of the TMP department led by Dr. Ignacio Wistuba whose dedication to trainee career development initiatives funded me with a travel award that gave me the opportunity to present my work at an international Keystone Conference. I would like to thank the leadership and of the TMP Interdisciplinary Translational Education and Research Training Program (iTERT), Dr. Ignacio Wistuba, Dr. Rama Soundararajan, Dr. Ann Killary, and administrative support Ms. Sarah Fayle and Mr. Bert Shaw I benefited immensely from the iTERT journal club, technical workshops, and seminar series and they always listened to my ideas with enthusiasm. My project and progress was overseen by mentors who provided me with constructive suggestions and were dedicated to my success. I would like to thank the members of my advisory committee, Dr. Richard Behringer, Dr. Mikhail Kolonin, Dr. Suzanne Fuqua, and Dr. Arun Sreekumar, for taking the time to listen to my concerns and making sure that I remained on the correct path. I would also like to thank my mentors from the Genes and Development graduate program: Dr. Swathi Arur, Dr. Michael Galko, Dr. Andrew Gladden, Dr. Russell Broaddus, Dr. Jichao Chen, Dr. Sadhan Majumder, Dr. William Mattox, and Dr. Pierre McCrea and the G&D program manager Ms. Elisabeth Lindheim who always helped me with a caring attitude. v The development of my projects would not have been possible without the support of our collaborators and those who generously shared their expertise, instruments, and reagents with us in the spirit of team science. I would like to thank members of Dr. Sreekumar’s lab, Dr. James Arnold and Dr. Salil Bhowmik, for their patience and dedication to our EMS project that led to many future projects.

I want to thank Dr. Marco Farina for sharing this journey with me and always reminding me that this sacrifice will be fruitful one day. I also want to thank my dear friends who never stopped cheering me on, understood all the times that I went “missing” because I was either too busy or too tired, and I could always count on to be ready to enjoy life with me. vi THE EPITHELIAL TO MESENCHYMAL TRANSITION IN BREAST CANCER INDUCES ALTERATIONS IN METABOLISM Esmeralda Quetzalcitlali Ramirez-Peña, B.S. Supervisory Professor: Sendurai A. Mani, Ph.D. Metastasis is currently incurable. Recent studies suggest that metabolic reprogramming significantly impacts metastatic progression. Understanding the underlying biology of how metabolic reprogramming influences metastasis will shed light on developing novel ways to treat metastasis and is of urgent clinical need. A potent mediator of metastatic potential in breast cancer is the winged helix/Forkhead domain transcription factor FOXC2. We have previously shown that FOXC2 is necessary and sufficient to promote metastasis through induction of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT is a latent embryonic program that is aberrantly induced in breast cancer cells conferring migratory and invasive capabilities in addition to cancer stem cell (CSC) properties.

    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

POP CULTURE COLLABORATIVE - FROM STORIES TO SYSTEMS Prologue The Pop Culture Collaborative was founded in October 2016 by a network of philanthropic leaders—primarily women of color—led by Unbound Philanthropy, Nathan Cummings Foundation, and Ford Foundation, who came together to imagine what might be possible if they expanded the impact of their grantmaking by pooling their resources, strategic thinking, and leadership influence to dramatically increase philanthropic investment in the pop culture for social change field. After many years of experimental funding at the intersection of art, media, and social change, they recognized that due to a lack of infrastructure, networks, and financial support, many past grantmaking strategies (e.g., support for specific creative projects or campaigns) had been implemented in silos. While some funded projects succeeded in creating awakenings in individuals or smaller audiences, they seldom reached mass audience scale. Because they were also rarely implemented within a long-term culture change strategy, most projects were not durable enough to achieve long-term, sustainable shifts in some of the deeply entrenched values and norms that characterize American culture. These funders realized that they were, in essence, squeezing drops of justice into an ocean largely composed of unjust ideas, rather than supporting a field of practitioners to holistically transform these narrative waters. The Pop Culture Collaborative was imagined as a laboratory environment for the pop culture for social change field, designed to create an immersive learning and testing environment that could enable funders and field members to discover, together, how best to achieve this depth and scale of narrative transformation in the United States.

  • In Search of a Happy Ending: the Afterlife of Romeo and Juliet on the Asian Screen1

    In Search of a Happy Ending: the Afterlife of Romeo and Juliet on the Asian Screen1

    ATLANTIS Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies 38.1 (June 2016): 185-200 issn 0210-6124 In Search of a Happy Ending: The Afterlife of Romeo and Juliet on the Asian screen1 Rosa M. García-Periago Universidad de Murcia [email protected] This essay takes as its starting point the view that the afterlife of Romeo and Juliet in several Asian Shakespearean film adaptations is characterised by the presence of a happy ending. The film corpus used consists of adaptations set in countries such as India 1942:( A Love Story, Issaq and Ram-Leela), China (Qing Renjie), Singapore (Chicken Rice Wars) and Japan (a Japanese TV adaptation of Romeo and Juliet). The first section explores how the ending is actually altered and the second provides a brief historical overview of Romeo and Juliet in these countries and considers why all these adaptations feel the need to transform the tragic dénouement for a happy resolution. As post-colonial—and hybridised—works, or simply works aiming to resist Western hegemonic power, the purpose of the adaptations considered is two-fold: to challenge the Western authority of Shakespeare and to offer a new way of reading the play via the use of mimicry, parody or the burlesque. The last section then demonstrates the strategies used by all these adaptations to advance an inauthentic ending; they all “cheat” and play with the audience. All the modern-day adaptations explored highlight the need to have popular appropriations of the play—beyond straightforward literary productions—which reinterpret and rewrite the Shakespearean play in an Asian context in order to make it their own.
  • Domesticating Shakespeare: a Study of Indian Adaptation of Shakespeare in Popular Culture

    Domesticating Shakespeare: a Study of Indian Adaptation of Shakespeare in Popular Culture

    European Journal of English Language and Literature Studies Vol.2, No.3, pp.48-58, September 2014 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) DOMESTICATING SHAKESPEARE: A STUDY OF INDIAN ADAPTATION OF SHAKESPEARE IN POPULAR CULTURE Dr Mukesh Yadav* Assistant Professor, Al-Jouf University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Sakaka PO.BOX 2014 ABSTRACT: Shakespeare plays are illustration of the success and failures of human responses to order. These illustrations are very well captivated and displayed on silver screen. This paper is an attempt to study the Indian adaptation of Shakespeare in Popular Culture. It scrutinizes how Shakespeare has been utterly absorbed into the Indian imagination. The work mainly deals with recent four Shakespearean adaptations in Indian cinema : the bollywood director Vishal Bhardwaj’s movie Maqbool (released in 2004; based on Shakespeare’s adaptation of Macbeth), Omkara (released in 2006; based on Shakespeare’s adaptation of Othello) , director Manish Tiwari’s Issaq (released in 2012; based on Shakespeare’s adaptation of Romeo and Juliet) , the Malyalam film director VK Prakash’s Karamyogi (released in 2012; based on Shakespeare’s adaptation of Hamlet). These movies achieved great success in India and domesticate Shakespeare like never before. The paper makes a foray into the strategies through which cinematic representation functions to ratify the existing social order. The paper analyses the ideology that governs the production of the film and the meanings that are transmitted through it. KEYWORDS: Popular Culture; Indian cinema; Shakespearean adaptations; Bollywood. INTRODUCTION Colonialism brought Shakespeare to Indian subcontinent. India’s extensive history of colonial domination extends to cultural domination.

    Film Adaptation of Shakespeare for Modern Audience

    Volume-11,Issue-3,December-2017 Film Adaptation of Shakespeare for Modern Audience Dr. Narendra K. Patel Assi. Professor Shri P. K. Chaudhari Mahila Arts College Sector-7, Gandhinagar Abstract We know some writers through film, television or social media. The modern generation is more used to these mediums. Films are playing a major role to popularize the writers. Reading books is sometimes considered to be old fashioned. Film adaptation of Shakespeare has formed the contemporary consciousness of the audience around the world. William Shakespeare is considered to be a major source for film directors not in Hollywood but in Bollywood also. The modern film makers recreate Shakespeare through films for the modern audience. The modern directors reinvent Shakespeare in their films and the modern audience also wants the entertaining Shakespeare. Keywords Film, Television, Film Adaptation, Audience, Cinematic, Film, Television and Social Medias i.e. computer mediated technologies are the integral part of our life. We are less used to books since these mediums are getting more and more popularity. Most of us know writers or their works through these mediums. In 1979 Morris Beja estimated that 20 to 30 percent of American films released each year are adapted from novels and that 75 percent of the top Academy Awards have gone to adaptations. We find a strong relationship between literature and film. Films are playing a major role to popularize the writers. William Shakespeare is a major source for the film directors or he is considered as the most popular screenwriter for the film industry especially in Hollywood. Shakespeare’s all works, except poetic works, have been adapted by the film makers.

This proves the incredible adaptability of the Shakespearean text to stage and screen, the fact that it is an endless source of inspiration for modern artistic forms of expression. Key words: adaptation, representation, drama, stage Shakespeare is without doubt the author of theater the most adapted to the cinema, either in faithful transpositions of its plays or in adaptations to other settings in time and space. The first question is: why does the Shakespearean drama transfer so easy to the screen?

A Letter from the President Fall 2014 Dear Subscriber: After 22 years, you’ll see that this traditional letter is being sent to you by someone new. Stephen Sultan is now enjoying a well-deserved retirement, although he remains onboard here at the Play Service as a trusted and valued consultant. I became the president — only the sixth to head the company since its founding in 1936 — in January, after years of serving as an agent representative on our Board of Directors. I couldn’t be happier in my new position, as DPS has always meant a great deal to me. And I am extremely fortunate to work with a wonderful staff, whose dedication, intelligence, and good humor are an inspiration. The original charter for Dramatists Play Service empha- sizes the importance of the word “service” in our name. I think you’ll find that the service to both our customers and our playwrights continues at a higher level than ever before. As always, there are some great new additions to our catalogue this year. I’m very happy that we have acquired all five nominees for Best Play in this season’s Tony Awards, with ALL THE WAY, Robert Schenkkan’s riveting portrait of LBJ and the politics of power and compromise, leading the pack.
