From helping with making informed decisions about a new movie script with respect to aspects such as its origi- nality, similarity to other movies, or even commercial viability, all the way to offering consumers new and interesting ways of viewing the final movie, many stages in the life-cycle of a movie stand to benefit from Machine Learning techniques that promise to reduce human effort, time, or both.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH THE ARCHITECTURE OF A THREE-DIMENSIONAL FEMALE CHARACTER IN SYLVIA PLATH’S “THE BELL JAR” AND ITS IMPACT ON FEMALE CHARACTERS IN THE HOLLYWOOD FILM INDUSTRY KATHERINE ELIZABETH MURT SPRING 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in English and Media Studies with honors in English Reviewed and approved* by the following: Lisa Sternlieb Associate Professor of English Thesis Supervisor, Honors Adviser John Marsh Associate Professor of English Faculty Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Sylvia Plath is remembered in literary history for her complex and dimensional creation of characters through both her prose and poetry. Plath’s own personal experiences with emotionally challenging life events informed her collective works, and from these experiences she drew forth her seminal novel The Bell Jar, a semiautobiographical account of a young girl named Esther who moves to New York City for a new job and uncovers her own vast emotional depth and potential for instability in the process. Esther’s journey into the recesses of her own mind broke ground in that Plath exposed an emotional depth to a female character that had yet to be so explicitly explored outside of the confines of a male literary counterpart. Esther is a female character that stands on her own, and her three-dimensional emotionality constructed the blueprint for how we see modern females in literature and art. Following suit, the Hollywood film industry has produced countless films starring female protagonists with emotional issues, using these issues as a means to create depth in a character where depth does not truly exist.

Degree awarded December 2020 ii © 2020 Zachary Roman iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Zachary Roman Doctor of Philosophy School of Journalism and Communication December 2020 Title: Box Office Back Issues: Historicizing the Liminal Superhero Films, 1989–2008 Although the superhero film became a dominant force in Hollywood early in the 21st century, the formation of the superhero genre can be attributed to a relatively small temporal window beginning in 1989 and ending in 2008. This dissertation argues that a specific group of superhero films that I call the liminal superhero films (LSF) collectively served as the industrial body that organized and created a fully formed superhero genre. The LSF codified the superhero genre, but that was only possible due to several industrial elements at play before they arrived. An increasing industrial appetite for blockbusters coming out of the 1970s, the rise of proprietary intellectual property after the corporate conglomeration that occurred at the end of the 20th century, and finally, the ability of the LSF to mitigate risk (both real and perceived) all led to this cinematic confluence.
