  • Film (CORE-UA.750)
    1 Dana Polan Fall 2017 Frank Sinatra: Movies, Music, Media, Masculinity Expressive Culture: Film (CORE-UA.750) W 12:30 – 4:30 PM ROOM: Cantor 102 office: 629 Tisch office hours: Tues. 9:15 AM - 12:15PM and by appointment phone: (212) 998-1614 email: [email protected] Although he is obviously best known within realms of American popular culture as a singer, Frank Sinatra had of course a very important and extensive career in Hollywood cinema (along with other media such as radio and television). While a number of the films serve certainly as little more than star vehicles (whether conceived of as such by the major studios during the decades of the 1940s and 1950s when the classic studio system was still in place or orchestrated by Sinatra himself from the late 1950s on, when the break-up of the studio system encouraged creative personnel to go independent and develop projects of their own), it is striking how often Sinatra worked with directors that film study has come to think of as auteurs – creators of a cinema of exploration and inventive style often revealing of a personal directorial vision in both theme and visual design. Many of these stand-out films use Sinatra’s connotations as a performer from an ethnic and working-class background to investigate – and sometimes interrogate – postwar class structures and strictures, especially around projections of masculinity. This course approaches the culture and politics of postwar America through a study of key films starring Frank Sinatra. Yet while the course will focus most on cinema and the meanings of performance within that medium, we will also pay extensive attention to Sinatra’s efforts in other media, such as radio and recording where we will devote much time to the analysis of pop music as American expressive art.

In the planning of his movies, he seemed to work alternately toward two complementary goals: to build the dances into the structure of the film as its central, expressive essence; or, to use dances to change the mood entirely, in counterpoint to the rest of the picture, as if a second self were emerging." *The Cinema of Gene Kellv.

  • Galatea's Daughters: Dolls, Female Identity and the Material Imagination
    Galatea‘s Daughters: Dolls, Female Identity and the Material Imagination in Victorian Literature and Culture Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Maria Eugenia Gonzalez-Posse, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: David G. Riede, Advisor Jill Galvan Clare A. Simmons Copyright by Maria Eugenia Gonzalez-Posse 2012 Abstract The doll, as we conceive of it today, is the product of a Victorian cultural phenomenon. It was not until the middle of the nineteenth century that a dedicated doll industry was developed and that dolls began to find their way into children‘s literature, the rhetoric of femininity, periodical publications and canonical texts. Surprisingly, the Victorian fascination with the doll has largely gone unexamined and critics and readers have tended to dismiss dolls as mere agents of female acculturation. Guided by the recent material turn in Victorian studies and drawing extensively from texts only recently made available through digitization projects and periodical databases, my dissertation seeks to provide a richer account of the way this most fraught and symbolic of objects figured in the lives and imaginations of the Victorians. By studying the treatment of dolls in canonical literature alongside hitherto neglected texts and genres and framing these readings in their larger cultural contexts, the doll emerges not as a symbol of female passivity but as an object celebrated for its remarkable imaginative potential. The doll, I argue, is therefore best understood as a descendant of Galatea – as a woman turned object, but also as an object that Victorians constantly and variously brought to life through the imagination.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FRANK SINATRA SERIES HIGHLIGHTS PERFORMER’S ACCOMPLISHED FILM CAREER August 12–September 4, 2011 Frank Sinatra was one of the most popular and influential entertainers of the 20th century. His phenomenal success and influence was not limited to his career as a recording artist; he was also an accomplished movie star with surprising range as an actor. From August 12 through September 4, 2011, Museum of the Moving Image will present the four-weekend series The Films of Frank Sinatra celebrating Sinatra’s legacy as a performer on the big screen. The Museum will show a dozen of his finest films, ranging from musicals (On the Town, Pal Joey, Guys and Dolls) to dark melodramas (Suddenly!, The Manchurian Candidate, The Man with the Golden Arm) to war and action movies (From Here to Eternity, Von Ryan’s Express). Among the series highlights is a rare theatrical screening of Suddenly!, a 1954 thriller that eerily foreshadowed the JFK assassination, with Sinatra as a cold-blooded assassin who plots to kill the President (August 13); Vincente Minnelli’s powerful widescreen melodrama Some Came Running (August 27 and 28), starring Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Shirley MacLaine; and the Rat Pack movies Ocean’s Eleven (September 3 and 4) and Robin and the 7 Hoods (September 2 and 3). Frank Sinatra turned to working in film in the 1940s, just a few years after achieving success as a singer. His early musical comedies, costarring Gene Kelly—including the classic On the Town (1949), filmed largely on location in New York City—were box office smashes.
