  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Nicolas Evans for the degree of Master of Arts in English presented on June 2, 2017. Title: (Mis)representation & Postcolonial Masculinity: The Origins of Violence in the Plays and Films of Martin McDonagh. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Neil R. Davison This thesis examines the postmodern confrontation of representation throughout the oeuvre of Martin McDonagh. I particularly look to his later body of work, which directly and self-reflexively confronts issues of artistic representation & masculinity, in order to gain a more nuanced understanding of his earliest and most controversial plays. In part, this thesis addresses misperceptions regarding The Leenane Trilogy, which was initially criticized for the plays’ shows of irreverence and use of caricature and cultural stereotypes. Rather than perpetuating propagandistic or offensive representations, my analysis explores how McDonagh uses affect and genre manipulation in order to parody artistic representation itself. Such a confrontation is meant to highlight the inadequacy of any representation to truly capture “authenticity.” Across his oeuvre, this postmodern proclivity is focused on disrupting the solidification of discourses of hyper-masculinity in the vein of postcolonial, diasporic, and mainstream media’s constructions of masculinity based on aggression and violence. ©Copyright by Nicolas Evans June 2, 2017 All Rights Reserved (Mis)representation & Postcolonial Masculinity: The Origins of Violence in the Plays and Films of Martin McDonagh by Nicolas Evans A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Presented June 2, 2017 Commencement June 2017 Master of Arts thesis of Nicolas Evans presented on June 2, 2017 APPROVED: Major Professor, representing English Director of the School of Writing, Literature, and Film Dean of the Graduate School I understand that my thesis will become part of the permanent collection of Oregon State University libraries.

  • A Quantitative Analysis of the Perceived Quality for Popular Movies by Consumers, Experts and Peers
    A quantitative analysis of the perceived quality for popular movies by consumers, experts and peers Student name: Ruth Bos Student number: 409141 Supervisor: Dr. P. Bhansing Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam Cultural Economics and Entrepreneurship Master Thesis June 8, 2016 Master Thesis “Quality time at the movies” Ruth Bos - 409141 ABSTRACT Academic research pertained to the marketing of motion pictures has identified the importance of quality on the commercial success of popular movies with indicators as consumer evaluations, expert ratings and peer-recognized awards as the Academy Awards. However, most researchers fail to analyze the quality of a movie as a measurement of performance of a movie. The current study extents previous research by aiming to measure the perceived quality of consumers, experts and peers for popular movies, based on the assumptions made on the success factors for commercial performance in previous marketing literature. Through a quantitative internet content analysis, data was gathered on the motion picture industry. The models were tested with a sample of 320 movies released between 2000-2015. Results show that the perceived quality of consumers overlap with the perceived quality of experts, which contradicts statements about the ‘little taste’ of consumers. Moreover, the data shows that there is a difference between the perceived quality of consumers and the commercial success of a movie, measured in box office revenue. However, for both commercial success and the perceived quality of consumers, popular appeal is still important for the satisfaction of the consumer. Managerial and theoretical implications, as well as limitations and directions for future research are offered.

  • Watch Out, He's Packing A
    16 發光的城市 A R O U N D T O W N FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 2008 • TAIPEI TIMES Hit men on holiday Colin Farrell brings his A-game to the film-directing debut of playwright Martin McDonagh BY MANOHLA DARGIS NY TIMES NEWS SERVICE, NEW YORK long after the start of In Bruges, an amusing Not trifle from the potty-mouthed playwright Martin McDonagh, two hit men pause before a painting, awe and puzzlement and perhaps something else shading their faces. The painting — a 15th-century Netherland- ish diptych — shows a prisoner wearing a loincloth and a strangely calm expression given that he’s being flayed alive. A small gathering of men (an audience, you might say) stands around the condemned, whose left calf is being peeled like a blood orange. McDonagh has a thing for red. He splashes it around in his farcical play The Lieutenant of Inishmore and does much the same for In Bruges, his feature filmmak- ing debut. Neither work offers much beyond the comedy of words and wounds, though there is sting in both. In Inishmore an IRA enforcer says: “Come on in ahead for yourselves. I’m just in the middle of shooting me Dad.” The lines are funny kind of, sort of, precisely because of the apparent diffidence with which the enforcer (or, rather, McDonagh) joins two seemingly dissonant themes, in this case politeness and patricide. The enforcer tor- tures men in the name of terror, but (oh, irony!) he loves The Israeli-Palestinian his cat. The film’s hit men — an Irish Laurel and Hardy act conflict presents a singularly called Ray and Ken and played by Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson — have come to the Belgian tourist unpromising source of town of Bruges on puzzling orders from their boss, Harry laughs in Adam Sandler’s (Ralph Fiennes).

He is the only playwright other than Shakespeare to have four of his plays performed at once in London.

  • Plays and Pinot: the Beauty Queen of Leenane
    Plays and Pinot: The Beauty Queen of Leenane Synopsis In the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, Maureen Folan – a plain, lonely woman, tied to her manipulative and ageing mother, Mag – comes alive at her first and possibly last prospect of a loving relationship. But Mag has other ideas; and her interference sets in motion a train of events that leads inexorably towards the play’s breathtaking conclusion. As the title indicates, The Beauty Queen of Leenane is set in Leenane, in Western Ireland. The play centers around Maureen, an unmarried woman in her early 40s, as she cares for her ailing mother, Mag. The two share a turbulent and unhealthy relationship. Mag taunts and insults her daughter, and Maureen blames her mother for her unhappiness. The play begins as the two women are invited to a going away party hosted by a neighbor. The two begin to fight, and Maureen decides to attend the party alone. At the party, Maureen meets Pato. While the two have known each other for many years, they never spoke to one another. They bond over their previous experiences of working in England, and Maureen brings Pato home for a sexual encounter. The following morning, Mag sees Pato in the kitchen. She and Maureen begin fighting again. In the fury of the interaction, Mag reveals that she is actually Maureen's caretaker, not the other way around. She goes on to say that Maureen was committed to a mental institution, and that she is still mentally unwell. Maureen retorts by saying that her mother is senile and cannot discern fact from fiction.
