  • American Cinema of the 1990S: Themes and Variations (Screen
    American Cinema of the 1990s SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES Each volume in the Screen Decades: American Culture/American Cinema series presents a group of original essays analyzing the impact of cultural issues on the cin- ema and the impact of the cinema in American society. Because every chapter explores a spectrum of particularly significant motion pictures and the broad range of historical events in one year, readers will gain a continuing sense of the decade as it came to be depicted on movie screens across the continent. The integration of his- torical and cultural events with the sprawling progression of American cinema illu- minates the pervasive themes and the essential movies that define an era. Our series represents one among many possible ways of confronting the past; we hope that these books will offer a better understanding of the connections between American culture and film history.

  • Vampires, Archetypes, and Postmodern Turns in Late-1980S and ‘90S Cult TV Shows
    Sorcha Ní Fhlainn Manchester Metropolitan University United Kingdom A Very Special Vampire Episode: Vampires, archetypes, and postmodern turns in late-1980s and ‘90s cult TV shows ABSTRACT This article evaluates the importance of the TV vampire onscreen in science fiction, gothic, and horror-based cult TV series from the late 1980s to the late 1990s. The inclusion of the vampire as a peripheral character in series including Quantum Leap, The X-Files, Tales from the Crypt and Friday the 13th: The Series indicates, in light of postmodern cultural turns, that there exists an imperative to re-evaluate, satirize and reflexively explore the vampire as a necessary and evolving stock gothic character within the narrative and generic frameworks of each show. In looking at these postmodern vampiric evaluations in their own right, where the vampire is featured as the ‘monster of the week’, this article argues that these understudied yet apposite representations of the television vampire, prior to and following on from the success of Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), documents a distinct cultural shift and maturation in representing vampires in non-vampire based gothic television shows. Whether it is to reify, satirize and re-mould the vampire as a variant of ‘the Dracula template’ on the small screen, or to move beyond mere stock conventions, these specific vampire episodes document the continuing fluidity of screen vampires through TV’s episodic ‘creature feature’ framework, and offer differing and dynamic alternative representations of undeath beyond vampire-centric TV shows. KEYWORDS Vampires; The X-Files; Quantum Leap; Friday the 13th: The Series; Tales from the Crypt; Dracula; adaptation; subjectivity; bricolage; guest stars.

  • Reel Gender: Examining the Politics of Trans Images in Film and Media
    REEL GENDER: EXAMINING THE POLITICS OF TRANS IMAGES IN FILM AND MEDIA Joelle Ruby Ryan A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2009 Committee: Susana Peña, Advisor Rekha Mirchandani Graduate Faculty Representative Bill Albertini Vikki Krane © 2009 Joelle Ruby Ryan All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Susana Peña, Advisor This dissertation examines transgender images in film, television and media from the 1950s through the present, with an emphasis on images from the 1980s through today. The primary goal of the dissertation is to interrogate the various gender and sexual ideologies contained within the representations to determine the social status of trans people in American society. How do these images function to both encourage and stymie the liberation of transgender people in the United States? The dissertation deploys trans, queer and feminist theories to critically analyze the cultural work performed by these mass-media texts. What are the trends within the trans media canon, and how do they relate to the treatment of real-world gender-nonconforming people? In order to answer these questions, I separate the trans images into four different stereotypes. For each of these stereotypes, I analyze three to four films to compare and contrast the way the films deal with the issues of gender and sexual variation.
