  • The Arena Spectacular from Ben Hur Live to Isles of Wonder
    The Arena Spectacular from Ben Hur Live to Isles of Wonder: Adaptation, Post-cinema and the Postcivil Richard Whitby PhD Humanities and Cultural Studies London Consortium Birkbeck, University of London The work presented in this thesis is all my own Richard Whitby 1st June 2016 2 Abstract What is an ‘arena spectacular’ and why has this genre of live entertainment gained international popularity in the twenty-first century? This study looks at three arena spectaculars: Ben Hur Live, Batman Live and Walking with Dinosaurs Live – all adapted from film or TV productions and performed in London’s O2 Arena between 2007 and 2012. I contextualise the shows with the work of Cirque du Soleil, the Millennium Dome and the city of Las Vegas. However, I argue that the format reached its fullest expression in Britain with the opening ceremony to the London 2012 Olympics, Danny Boyle’s Isles of Wonder. This study proposes that there are specific affective and economic factors within neoliberal and post-cinematic society that make the spatialised, live and ‘unmediated’ performance of a known image or hypertext into an attractive commodity. The arena spectacular should be understood via post-cinematic image-making and the fluidity with which images move from screen, to site and back will be explored here as a commercial process of ‘remediation’. An aggregate of older devices and media that seems to be defined in heterotopic contradistinction to a digital media regime, this format can be explained through contemporaneous qualities of public space, immaterial labour, government and consumption. This analysis is an attempt at grasping the ‘offer’ of these products – through their advertising, merchandise and the shows themselves.

Popular Culture Review Casting a Wider Lasso: An Analysis of the Cultural Dismissal of Wonder Woman Through Her 1975- 1979 Television Series By Ian Boucher “Every successful show has a multitude of fights, and that the shows are successful sometimes are because of those fights. And sometimes shows aren’t successful because those fights aren’t carried on long or hard enough.” -Douglas S. Cramer “And any civilization that does not recognize the female is doomed to destruction. Women are the wave of the future—and sisterhood is…stronger than anything.” -Wonder Woman, The New Original Wonder Woman (7 Nov. 1975) Abstract Live-action superhero films currently play a significant role at the box office, which means they also play a significant role in culture’s understandings about justice.

This piece draws inspiration from both comic book sources and live-action performances on film and television. It features five continuous sections: One Bad Day Page: 1 A prelude showcasing a lush melodic theme that ascribes the derangement of a normal man to the dramatic events of one bad day. How i Got These Scars Page: 10 Introduces additional thematic material at a frantically energized pace to contrive an identity from a mind fragmented by hitting rock bottom. Why So Serious Page: 17 Punctuates the Joker’s aggressive resolutions with a reoccurring two note motif. a Dance With the Devil Page: 33 A fleshed-out unity of previous materials in a romantic waltz-like style. Giggling in a Corner and Bleeding Page: 47 A dynamic and provocative bout of hysteria that challenges the speed and dexterity of a player in the same way the Joker challenges the ideological resolve of Batman.
