The traditional cry on these occasions was to hail the successor. “The King is Dead: Long Live the King!” But Cailan had named no heir. A void gaped where men’s loyalties should lie. Some still cared for the king they had lost. “Maker receive him,” croaked Elric Maraigne. “There will never be another like him.” The King’s Friends murmured fervent agreement. Mean- while, Wulffe whispered to Bryland, “Does this mean that Fergus is King?” “Could be,” Bryland whispered back, his eyes on Loghain and Bronwyn, speaking urgently and quietly to each other. ragon Age image is used with permission of Electronic Arts Inc. “Maybe not.” BioWare, the developers of Dragon Age, may be found at: Dhttp://www.bioware.com/ “Get Wynne out of here,” Loghain ordered Bronwyn, in The Dragon Age Wiki, source of these images may be found at: a thread of breath. “Get her out of the Revered Mother’s http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Age_Wiki sight.

  • Open Shannon Kahle Final Dissertation.Pdf
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications VISUALIZING THE CHAOTIC BODY IN POPULAR CULTURE A Dissertation in Mass Communications by Shannon A. Kahle Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2010 The dissertation of Shannon A. Kahle was reviewed and approved* by the following: Matthew P. McAllister Professor of Communications Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Dennis K. Davis Professor of Communications Matthew Jordan Assistant Professor of Communications Stephen H. Browne Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT The proliferation of traumatized bodies on screen is matched by the proliferation of body studies in the humanities and social sciences. The interest in the body has exploded among a number of fields of study and is a staple in visual culture. What is happening in contemporary representation and spectatorship of pain and ‘ruined bodies’? What is the relationship of contemporary visuality, the ruined body, and the social? Finally, what is the mode of selfhood deployed in contemporary visual culture and how is it related to other discursive-institutional realms of practice? In this dissertation I consider three fictional visual texts that elucidate particular institutional realms within which the body is centrally figured; these texts are the medical drama House M.D., the first three films of the horror series Saw, which draws heavily on religious discourse and iconography, and the forensic investigation drama Bones. The purpose is to consider the ways in which these texts represent the practices of each realm as well as the visualization of the body itself and the model of the self and the social deployed in each.

Brian and Pamela O’Neal, and my understanding sisters, Auburn and Taffeta, for their lifelong support; without their love, belief in my strengths, patience with my struggles, and encouragement, I would not be in this position today.

To the rest of my committee, Dr. David Lavery and Dr. Robert Petersen, for their seasoned advice and willingness to participate, I am also indebted. Beyond these, I would like to recognize some “unofficial” members of my committee, including Dr. Elyce Helford, Dr. Alicia Broderick, Ari Ne’eman, Chris Foss, and Melanie Yergau, who graciously offered me necessary guidance and insightful advice for this project, particularly in the field of Disability Studies.
