Mummy #30007, known as the Gilded Lady, is one of the most beautifully preserved mummies from The Field Museum’s collection, and one of 19 now on view in the special exhibition Mummies. For decades, keeping mummies like this one well preserved also meant severely limiting the ability of researchers to study them. The result is that little was known about the Gilded Lady beyond what could be gleaned from the mummy’s exterior, with its intricate linen bindings, gilded headdress, and painted facial features. Exterior details do offer some clues. The mummy dates from 30 BC–AD 395, a period when Egypt was a province of the Roman Empire. While the practice of mummification endured in Egypt, it was being transformed by Roman influences. Before the Roman era, for example, mummies had been placed in wooden coffins, while the Gilded Lady is preserved in only linen wrappings and cartonnage, a papier mâché-like material.

Parrish August 2017 © 2017 Jordan G. Parrish. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled The Undead Subject of Lost Decade Japanese Horror Cinema by JORDAN G. PARRISH has been approved for the Film Division and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Studies Matthew R. Shaftel Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract PARRISH, JORDAN G., M.A., August 2017, Film Studies The Undead Subject of Lost Decade Japanese Horror Cinema Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis argues that Japanese Horror films released around the turn of the twenty- first century define a new mode of subjectivity: “undead subjectivity.” Exploring the implications of this concept, this study locates the undead subject’s origins within a Japanese recession, decimated social conditions, and a period outside of historical progression known as the “Lost Decade.” It suggests that the form and content of “J- Horror” films reveal a problematic visual structure haunting the nation in relation to the gaze of a structural father figure. In doing so, this thesis purports that these films interrogate psychoanalytic concepts such as the gaze, the big Other, and the death drive. This study posits themes, philosophies, and formal elements within J-Horror films that place the undead subject within a worldly depiction of the afterlife, the films repeatedly ending on an image of an emptied-out Japan invisible to the big Other’s gaze.

  • The Post-Traumatic Theatre of Grotowski and Kantor Advance Reviews
    The Post-traumatic Theatre of Grotowski and Kantor Advance Reviews “A brilliant cross-disciplinary comparative analysis that joins a new path in theatre studies, revitalizing the artistic heritage of two great twentieth-century masters: Tadeusz Kantor and Jerzy Grotowski.” —Professor Antonio Attisani, Department of Humanities, University of Turin “Among the landmarks of postwar avant-garde theatre, two Polish works stand out: Grotowski’s Akropolis and Kantor’s Dead Class. Magda Romanska scrupulously corrects misconceptions about these crucial works, bringing to light linguistic elements ignored by Anglophone critics and an intense engagement with the Holocaust very often overlooked by their Polish counterparts. This is vital and magnificently researched theatre scholarship, at once alert to history and to formal experiment. Romanska makes two pieces readers may think they know newly and urgently legible.” —Martin Harries, author of “Forgetting Lot’s Wife: On Destructive Spectatorship,” University of California, Irvine “As someone who teaches and researches in the areas of Polish film and theatre – and European theatre/theatre practice/translation more broadly – I was riveted by the book. I couldn’t put it down. There is no such extensive comparative study of the work of the two practitioners that offers a sustained and convincing argument for this. The book is ‘leading edge.’ Romanska has the linguistic and critical skills to develop the arguments in question and the political contexts are in general traced at an extremely sophisticated level. This is what lends the writing its dynamism.” —Dr Teresa Murjas, Director of Postgraduate Research, Department of Film, Theatre and Television, University of Reading “This is a lucidly and even beautifully written book that convincingly argues for a historically and culturally contextualized understanding of Grotowski’s and Kantor’s performances.

Family Plays THE GHOST SONATA Drama by August Strindberg Translated by JOE MARTIN Music by ANNA LARSON © Family Plays THE GHOST SONATA Joe Martin’s fresh approach to August Strindberg’s work won acclaim from audiences and reviewers: “The American Showcase Theatre staged a fascinating version of the classic The Ghost Sonata as part of the Strindberg Festival ... The choice of The Ghost Sonata was fortuitous. It is mature August Strindberg in top artistic form ... deftly written, provocative and fast-paced with forceful images and a wonderful sense of symbolism ... The presentation includes a marvelously appropriate score ... The music is eerie and unnerving, and at times bears the same mad resemblance to a soundtrack that the characters bear to real people. And what haunting parodies of people they are! The actors give you a whole world of memorable portraits to carry home in your mind.” (Performing Arts News Magazine) “Our production was an alternative theatre production with minimalist sets in a relatively small theatre.” (Joe Martin, author) Drama with optional music.

  • The Curse of Mummy's Tomb
    THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY’S TOMB Goosebumps - 05 R.L. Stine (An Undead Scan v1.5) 1 1 I saw the Great Pyramid and got thirsty. Maybe it was all the sand. So dry and yellow, it seemed to stretch on forever. It even made the sky look dry. I poked my mom in the side. “Mom, I’m really thirsty.” “Not now,” she said. She had one hand up on her forehead, shielding her eyes from the bright sun as she stared up at the enormous pyramid. Not now? What does “not now” mean? I was thirsty. Now! Someone bumped me from behind and apologized in a foreign language. I never dreamed when I saw the Great Pyramid there’d be so many other tourists. I guess half the people in the world decided to spend their Christmas vacation in Egypt this year. “But, Mom—” I said. I didn’t mean to whine. It was just that my throat was so dry. “I’m really thirsty.” “We can’t get you a drink now,” she answered, staring at the pyramid. “Stop acting like you’re four. You’re twelve, remember?” “Twelve-year-olds get thirsty, too,” I muttered. “All this sand in the air, it’s making me gag.” “Look at the pyramid,” she said, sounding a little irritated. “That’s why we came here. We didn’t come here to get a drink.” “But I’m choking !” I cried, gasping and holding my throat. Okay, so I wasn’t choking. I exaggerated a little, just trying to get her attention.
