The only sounds were the chirps of insects, the subtle creak and rustle of the trees as the breeze gently bent their flexible upper branches. Occasionally, a bird or reptile let out a screech or squawk, momentarily breaking the calm, yet these natural sounds did not disrupt the peace. Had anyone been in the forest to appreciate it, they would have felt as if they were the only person in the world. They would have experienced something of a shock then, as a deafening roar tore through the air without warning, a grinding, wailing cacophony that betrayed its artificial origins as it ripped through the tranquility of the forest environment.

  • Adventures in Time and Sound: Leitmotif and Repetition in Doctor Who
    Adventures in Time and Sound: Leitmotif and Repetition in Doctor Who by Emilie Hurst A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Emilie Hurst ii Abstract This thesis explores the intersections between repetition, leitmotif and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze in the context the BBC television series Doctor Who (1963-1989; 2005- ). Deleuze proposes that instead of the return of the same, repetition, by its constant insertion in a new temporal context can produce difference as part of the process of the eternal return. He also rejects the concepts of being in favour of becoming. I argue his framework on repetition allows us to broaden the definition of the leitmotif and embrace the role of repetition. I analyse the leitmotif of three characters: Amy Pond, River Song, and the Doctor. In all three instances, the leitmotifs are an active participant in the process of becoming while, simultaneously, undergoing their own becoming. For River, the leitmotif also works as a territorializing refrain, while for the Doctor, use of leitmotif paradoxically gives the impression of being. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisors Alexis Luko and James Deaville for providing me with guidance along the way, as well as Paul Théberge who stepped in the final month to help me re- organize my thoughts. The input of all three helped insure that what follows is a much more cohesive, better organized final product. I would also like to thank graduate supervisors Anna Hoefnagels, and examiners Jesse Stewart and André Loiselle all of whom went out of their way to assure I completed my defense on time.

Leslie McMurtry Swansea University Doctor Who, Steampunk, and the Victorian Christmas “It’s everywhere these days, isn’t it? Anime, Doctor Who, novel after novel involving clockwork and airships.” --Catherynne M. Valente1 Introduction It seems nearly every article or essay on Neo-Victorianism must, by tradition, begin with a defence of the discipline and an explanation of what is currently encompassed by the term— or, more likely, what is not. Since at least 2008 and the launch of the interdisciplinary journal Neo-Victorian Studies, scholars have been grappling with a catch-all definition for the term. Though it is appropriate that Mark Llewellyn should note in his 2008 “What Is Neo-Victorian Studies?” that “in bookstores and TV guides all around us what we see is the ‘nostalgic tug’ that the (quasi-) Victorian exerts on the mainstream,” Imelda Whelehan is right to suggest that the novel is the supreme and legitimizing source2.

    – Season Two – PRODUCTION BIOGRAPHIES DAVID S. GOYER (Creator, Executive Producer) David S. Goyer is the Creator and Executive Producer of the STARZ Original series “Da Vinci’s Demons.” Goyer has earned a reputation for telling character-driven stories. His breakout came in 1998 when he wrote the action hit Blade, starring Wesley Snipes, based on the Marvel Comics vampire hunter who is, himself, half-vampire. He then wrote 2002’s Blade II, on which he also served as an executive producer. In 2004, he directed, wrote and produced the last of the trilogy, Blade: Trinity. Among Goyer’s current projects is the script for the untitled sequel to Man of Steel, starring Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman with Zack Snyder directing. The film is the follow up to the box office hit Man of Steel, the reboot of Superman based on a story by Goyer and producer Christopher Nolan with a screenplay by Goyer. In addition, Goyer recently signed on to direct an adaptation of the science-fiction novel The Breach for Lionsgate, which was independently developed under Goyer’s Phantom 4 Films banner with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Goyer collaborated with Nolan on the mega-hit Dark Knight trilogy, starting with the screenplay for Batman Begins, which successfully brought the iconic character back to his origins. Goyer went on to team with Christopher Nolan on the story for the billion-dollar blockbuster The Dark Knight, for which they received a Writers Guild of America Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, followed by the story’s conclusion in The Dark Knight Rises.

This article shows how closely the narratives of the companions track contemporary notions of post- feminism. In particular, companions’ departures from the programme have much in common with post-feminism’s master-theme of retreatism, whereby women retreat from their public lives to find fulfilment in marriage, home and family. The article argues that when companions leave the TARDIS, what happens next ought to embody the sense of empowerment, purpose and agency which they have gained through their adventures, whereas too often the programme’s authors have given companions ‘happy endings’ based on finding husbands and settling down.
