  • RÍDAN the DEVIL and OTHER STORIES by Louis Becke
    1 RÍDAN THE DEVIL AND OTHER STORIES By Louis Becke Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Company 1899 RÍDAN THE DEVIL Rídan lived alone in a little hut on the borders of the big German plantation at Mulifenua, away down at the lee end of Upolu Island, and every one of his brown-skinned fellow-workers either hated or feared him, and smiled when Burton, the American overseer, would knock him down for being a 'sulky brute.' But no one of them cared to let Rídan see him smile. For to them he was a wizard, a devil, who could send death in the night to those he hated. And so when anyone died on the plantation he was blamed, and seemed to like it. Once, when he lay ironed hand and foot in the stifling corrugated iron 'calaboose,' with his blood-shot eyes fixed in sullen rage on Burton's angered face, Tirauro, a Gilbert Island native assistant overseer, struck him on the mouth and called him 'a pig cast up by the ocean.' This was to please the white man. But it did not, for Burton, cruel as he was, called Tirauro a coward and felled him at once. By ill-luck he fell within reach of Rídan, and in another moment the manacled hands had seized his enemy's throat. For five minutes the three men struggled together, the white overseer beating Rídan over the head with the butt of his heavy Colt's pistol, and then when Burton rose to his feet the two brown men were lying motionless together; but Tirauro was dead.

  • Feminism and Celebrity Culture in Shakesteen Film
    FEMINISM AND CELEBRITY CULTURE IN SHAKESTEEN FILM by VICTORIA L. REYNOLDS (Under the Direction of SUJATA IYENGAR) ABSTRACT This thesis examines the effectiveness of popular culture’s interpretation of third wave feminist thought. It places a particular focus on the genre of “Shakesteen” films made popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s, which adapted Shakespearean plays for American teen audiences. Within that focus, this thesis discusses the celebrity personae of two women whose careers were furthered by Shakesteen roles: Julia Stiles and Amanda Bynes. Ultimately, it seeks to determine whether it is possible to portray a political movement in a way that is culturally palatable without compromising the goals of that movement. INDEX WORDS: feminism, Shakespeare, teen culture, Shakesteen, third wave, Julia Stiles, Amanda Bynes FEMINISM AND CELEBRITY CULTURE IN SHAKESTEEN FILM by VICTORIA L.

    Rollins College Hamilton Holt School ENG 344D Selected Studies: Fairy Tales Summer Session I May 18-June 24, 2010 Section H1 CRN # 60044 6:00-9:10 pm Tuesday and Thursday in Orlando 105 (4 credit hours) Dr. Jennifer Ailles Department of English Office Hours: Tuesday and Thursday 4:30-5:30 pm (and by appointment) Office: Orlando Hall 104 Email: [email protected] Western culture is inundated with images of innocent and beautiful Princesses, handsome Prince Charmings, wicked step-mothers, ineffectual fathers, and other sundry stereotypical characters drawn from the land of Far, Far, Away. We often think that fairy tales, especially Disney ones, are meant for children, but are they? Fairy tales contain significant amounts of violence, dark magic, monsters, thievery, cannibalism, and sex--things that are usually seen as inappropriate for children. In addition to presenting a lot of gruesome and seemingly immoral content, fairy tales also construct and reinforce positive social norms. This course will address the dark and sometimes nasty side of fairy tales as we examine the specific roles they have played in creating and supporting cultural ideals. We will center our examination on stories and films based on the classic tales of Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. This course will be suitable for English majors and minors and will satisfy the literature (L) general education requirement. This course satisfies the literature (L) general education requirement. The Rollins faculty has described the purpose of the L requirement this way: “The L requirement seeks to develop lifelong readers, sensitive to the richness of literary texts and to the pleasure of exploring that richness.

  • Bratz, Bffs, Princesses and Popstars: Femininity and Celebrity in Tween Popular Culture
    Bratz, BFFs, Princesses and Popstars: Femininity and Celebrity in Tween Popular Culture Melanie Kennedy Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) School of Film, Television and Media Studies University of East Anglia December 2012 ©This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 ABSTRACT The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in media output aimed at “tweens” (preadolescent girls), and the expansion more broadly of tween popular culture. This exclusively female preadolescent consumer demographic is seen to emerge alongside a heightened visibility of girls within popular culture since the mid-1990s, and continuing anxieties about girlhood in this intensely mediated environment. However, this burgeoning field has yet to be matched in academic attention. This thesis offers a timely examination of mainstream tween films, television programmes, celebrities and extra-texts from 2004 onwards, including “princess” narratives The Prince & Me (2004, 2006, 2008, 2010) and A Cinderella Story (2004, 2008, 2011), and Disney Channel programming and Original Movies, Hannah Montana (2006-2011) and Camp Rock (2008, 2010). It forges a dialogue between postfeminism, film and television, celebrity, and the figure of the tween, in order to examine how the tween is both constructed and addressed by the films and television programmes that make up tween popular culture. Tweenhood is a discursive construction emerging in the mid-1990s and coming to cultural prominence in the early twenty-first century.
