Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 © Copyright by Kaizaad Navroze KotwaI 2000 The first 40 years of life give us the text; the next 30 years supply the commentary.” - Fortune Cookie from China Dynasty, Columbus, Ohio Friday, May 26, 2000 ‘Technology is the fire around which we gather. -- Laurie Anderson “A work is never necessarily finished for he who made it is never complete.’ -- Paul Valéry ‘What is reality? Nothing but a collective hunch. -- Jane Wagner ABSTRACT While the technological age has made Virtual Reality a popular buzz-word, its philosophical antecedents can be traced back at least as far as Plato. This study begins in an examination of the definitions of Virtual Reality, representation, interactivity, immersion and cyberspace. In doing so the discussion follows a trajectory from Plato, Aristotle, Horace, Rousseau, and Castelvetro to the military-industrial complex and the internet. In arguing that theatre is one of the original Virtual Realities, I discuss specific works by Lope de Vega, Calderon de la Barca, and Luigi Pirandello, in that these plays, via the illusion of theatre are dealing with themes of illusion in art and life. I also look at how playwrights like Elmer Rice and Karel Capek have dealt with technology as a thematic concern in dramatic writings. Expanding these arguments to film I examine three Orientalist versions of Gunga Din (including Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Sergeants 3 ) and argue that film as a Virtual Reality is a powerful means of (mis)representation in creating racist and colonialist (mis)understandings of subordinate groups (Indians in this case). I also look at The Lawnmower Man and The Truman Show to understand how Hollywood has dealt with themes of Virtual Reality and interactivity in the technological era. In light of new computer technologies I visit the works of theatrical masters like Craig, Appia, Grotowski, Brecht and Svoboda to examine how current theatrical production practices can be enhanced and invigorated. I closely examine the work being done by Claudio Pinhanez and the Theatre Department at the University of Kansas where computers are being used not only in the design area but also in the performative aspects of theatre. The study concludes with a discussion about creating new critical discourses around the issues raised by these new computer technologies. Virtual Reality as a philosophical, technological and aesthetic construct has always carried with it parallel and intersecting dialectics based in ethics, values and social impact. As these technologies begin to permeate almost every aspect of human interaction, the need for a critical theory around the area of art, technology and culture becomes desperately imperative. Dedicated to my Family: Mahabanoo, Navroze, Nairika, Mani, and Meher without whose patience, support, love and nurturing I would not have been possible. To my new brother-in-law Tommy. And to the beloved memory of my grandfathers, Nariman Mody and Savak Kotwal and my late, great-aunt Jer. IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my adviser Stratos Constantinidis whose incredible patience, constant encouragement and meticulous critiques have made this a much stronger document and myself a much more astute and succinct writer and scholar. His guidance and input to the area of study undertaken in this dissertation has been invaluable. I also owe a great debt of thanks to Carol Gigliotti whose constant love and guidance has given me great strength and freedom as an artist and scholar. She has also strengthened my writing and creativity through her gentle nudging and firm scrutiny. Both Stratos and Carol have very willingly worked with me and shared their work so generously. They have introduced me to many new ideas and new worlds of artistic and scholarly inquiry. I owe many thanks to Wayne Carlson who consistently encourages and nurtures interdisciplinary projects and multifaceted collaborations. Eight years ago I came to ACCAD (The Advanced Computing Center for Art and Design) under his guidance to see how the theatre and computers could collaborate and facilitate new ways of seeing and thinking. This dissertation is in essence a direct result of my introduction to ACCAD and the ideals of bringing art and technology closer together. I would also like to thank Anthony Hill who has been my professor and teaching mentor in the area of multicultural studies. Through the courses I have taught with him I have been able to reflect and refine my work in the area of hegemony, colonial and post-colonial studies and the ways in which images and ideology function in social and cultural regeneration. I would also like to acknowlegde my other teachers past and present who have contributed indellibly to my development and growth as an artist, a thinker and a scholar. To my teachers in Bombay, India - Mrs. Sedvelkar who taught me the unadulterated joys of painting with abandon; Havovi Kolsawalla, my first speech and drama teacher who recognized and nurtured my talents as an actor, director and public speaker; Florence Hallegua my high school English teacher who inculcated in me a deep passion for language and literature; Colonel Simeon my high school principal who taught me to box, literally and metaphorically; and Shiraz Jeffries my high school drama coach who kept pushing my creative limits. VI I also owe a lot of gratitude to many of my professors at Wabash College where I received my undergraduate education — James Fisher and Dwight Watson who gave me a lot of guidance and courage to pursue the theatrical arts; Doug Calisch and Greg Huebner who fueled my passion for the visual arts; William Placher who taught me about cultures and traditions and how to think with clarity and a passion for knowledge; Floyd Coleman who taught me that art history is a living, breathing field of inquiry and relevant to our modern predicaments; Ola Rotimi who taught me about theatre and politics; and to Peter Frederick who gave me insights and a living example about what it means to be a great teacher. I would also like to acknowledge Peter Watkins and Laura Mulvey who planted in me my curiosity of film and all things cinematic and Don Stredney who started me off on my voyage in the world of computer graphics and Virtual Reality. I owe thanks to my closest friends - my extended family - for their help and support throughout the duration of this project and beyond - the Nemeths (Jim, Michal, Tania, Tamar, Ron and Mary), the Milligans (Carol, Fritz, Michael, Jennifer, Cory, Jesse), Cousin Ann, Alison and Grace Goodworth, Amiel and Melissa Mansur, Halim Hanna, Sam Jaeger, Adrian Hierro, Yianni Yessios, Fereshteh Hough, Lynn and Harvey Roth, Neil Daniels and Sean Usher. I would also like to thank Gijs VII Gerlag, John Carlisle, Eric Lee, Michael Lee, Kevin McBride, Tim Wilson, Andy Scahill, and Boney Dhar for their friendship and support. Last but not the least, I wish to thank my family, who have made incredible sacrifices to ensure my pursuit of an education abroad. They have taught me more than I could ever be thankful for and their ungrudging encouragement of my pursuing the arts has been greatly appreciated. Their unconditional love has made my life much easier. My most respectful thanks to my parents Navroze and Mahabanoo, my sister Nairika, my grandmothers Mani and Meher, my great-aunt Jer, and my new brother-in-law Tommy for all that you have done and continue to do. Above all, my deepest thanks to my spiritual lights - Ahura Mazda and Zarathushtra who have guided me and taken care of me and mine wherever we have been.

  • Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood
    Katherine Kinney Cold Wars: Black Soldiers in Liberal Hollywood n 1982 Louis Gossett, Jr was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Gunnery Sergeant Foley in An Officer and a Gentleman, becoming theI first African American actor to win an Oscar since Sidney Poitier. In 1989, Denzel Washington became the second to win, again in a supporting role, for Glory. It is perhaps more than coincidental that both award winning roles were soldiers. At once assimilationist and militant, the black soldier apparently escapes the Hollywood history Donald Bogle has named, “Coons, Toms, Bucks, and Mammies” or the more recent litany of cops and criminals. From the liberal consensus of WWII, to the ideological ruptures of Vietnam, and the reconstruction of the image of the military in the Reagan-Bush era, the black soldier has assumed an increasingly prominent role, ironically maintaining Hollywood’s liberal credentials and its preeminence in producing a national mythos. This largely static evolution can be traced from landmark films of WWII and post-War liberal Hollywood: Bataan (1943) and Home of the Brave (1949), through the career of actor James Edwards in the 1950’s, and to the more politically contested Vietnam War films of the 1980’s. Since WWII, the black soldier has held a crucial, but little noted, position in the battles over Hollywood representations of African American men.1 The soldier’s role is conspicuous in the way it places African American men explicitly within a nationalist and a nationaliz- ing context: U.S. history and Hollywood’s narrative of assimilation, the combat film.

    CLONES, BONES AND TWILIGHT ZONES: PROTECTING THE DIGITAL PERSONA OF THE QUICK, THE DEAD AND THE IMAGINARY By JosephJ. Beard' ABSTRACT This article explores a developing technology-the creation of digi- tal replicas of individuals, both living and dead, as well as the creation of totally imaginary humans. The article examines the various laws, includ- ing copyright, sui generis, right of publicity and trademark, that may be employed to prevent the creation, duplication and exploitation of digital replicas of individuals as well as to prevent unauthorized alteration of ex- isting images of a person. With respect to totally imaginary digital hu- mans, the article addresses the issue of whether such virtual humans should be treated like real humans or simply as highly sophisticated forms of animated cartoon characters.

However, performing arts in general and drama in particular require knowledge and understanding of wider contexts, reinterpretations, devising and study of texts from different periods. Exploring postmodernism is an excellent way to open up a world of artistic interest, exploration, experiment and mash-ups for students who are 16 and over. Although different in details, the Drama and Theatre A level specifications offered for teaching from 2016 (first exam in 2018) are similar in intention and breadth of study. All require exploration of some predetermined and some centre-chosen texts, a variety of leading practitioners, and devising and re- interpretations. Using postmodernism broadens students’ viewpoints, ideas and practical experiences of using art forms to express material. Exam preparation aside, this scheme serves as an

  • A Character Type in the Plays of Edward Bond
    A Character Type in the Plays of Edward Bond Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Frank A. Torma, M. A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Jon Erickson, Advisor Richard Green Joy Reilly Copyright by Frank Anthony Torma 2010 Abstract To evaluate a young firebrand later in his career, as this dissertation attempts in regard to British playwright Edward Bond, is to see not the end of fireworks, but the fireworks no longer creating the same provocative results. Pursuing a career as a playwright and theorist in the theatre since the early 1960s, Bond has been the exciting new star of the Royal Court Theatre and, more recently, the predictable producer of plays displaying the same themes and strategies that once brought unsettling theatre to the audience in the decades past. The dissertation is an attempt to evaluate Bond, noting his influences, such as Beckett, Brecht, Shakespeare, and the postmodern, and charting the course of his career alongside other dramatists when it seems appropriate. Edward Bond‟s characters of Len in Saved, the Gravedigger‟s Boy in Lear, Leonard in In the Company of Men, and the character in a number of other Bond plays provide a means to understand Bond‟s aesthetic and political purposes. Len is a jumpy young man incapable of bravery; the Gravedigger‟s Boy is the earnest young man destroyed too early by total war; Leonard is a needy, spoiled youth destroyed by big business.
