Aristotle, Performativity, And Perfect Friendship In Shakespeare, 2011 Bridgewater State University
Aristotle, Performativity, And Perfect Friendship In Shakespeare, Ryan Engley
Undergraduate Review
From childhood, most of us have been taught that our “identity,” both how we see ourselves and how others see us, is shaped at least in part by our friends: “you are the company you keep,” as the cliché goes. Experience will teach us that not all friendships are the same, much less equal, even if we never hear of Aristotle and his tripartite scale of friend-types. His categories were of course born of the classical world but, true to fashion, remain valuable barometers for measuring individual identity and desire in friendships. They’re useful, too, in understanding Shakespeare’s characters and …

Recasting Genre In Tennessee Williams's Apprentice Plays, 2010 University of Southern Mississippi
Recasting Genre In Tennessee Williams's Apprentice Plays, Christina Ilona Hunter
Dissertations
This dissertation investigates Tennessee Williams’s earliest full-length plays, also known as the apprentice plays—Candles to the Sun, Fugitive Kind, Not About Nightingales, Spring Storm, and Stairs to the Roof—by comparing, contrasting and contextualizing them in relation to Daniel Chandler’s generic criteria of drama; namely, narrative, characterization, setting, topics, iconography, and staging techniques. The present study also draws upon an extensive body of scholarship pertaining to genre theory, Williams’s cultural contemporaries, and the historical and psychological backdrop of Depression-era America. In these early plays, Williams diverged sharply from the dramatic generic conventions of his day, manipulating them in new …

“Estrategias Del Conocimiento Y La Red De Comunicación Desde La Misión De Moxos.”, Carlos-Urani Montiel
Carlos-Urani Montiel
El tema de este trabajo es la red de comunicación que operó entre las provincias europeas y americanas de la Compañía de Jesús hasta el momento de su expulsión. Una red de comunicación se describe por medio de los patrones de conexión que son creados por el flujo de mensajes entre sus usuarios a través del tiempo y del medio ambiente. Un mensaje es cualquier forma simbólica que pueda moverse de un punto a otro de la red, o que pueda ser interpretada, y así recreada, por sus miembros. Mi trabajo explora esta forma de comportamiento y de organización global …

Monstrous!: Actors, Audiences, Inmates, And The Politics Of Reading Shakespeare, 2010 Ursinus College
Monstrous!: Actors, Audiences, Inmates, And The Politics Of Reading Shakespeare, Matt Kozusko
English Faculty Publications
This essay considers the use of Shakespeare as marker of authenticity and as a therapeutic space for performers and audiences across a number of genres, from professional actors in training literature to prison inmates in radio and film documentaries. It argues that in the wake of recent academic trends—the critique of "Shakespeare" as an author figure; the privileging of the text as a source of multiple, potentially conflicting readings—Shakespeare's function as cultural capital has shifted sites, from "Shakespeare" to the playtexts themselves.
Ethnographic Performance And Global Learning: Lessons From "You Always Go Home", 2010 Kennesaw State University
Ethnographic Performance And Global Learning: Lessons From "You Always Go Home", Margaret Baldwin, Karen Robinson
Journal of Global Initiatives: Policy, Pedagogy, Perspective
Ethnographic performance draws upon fieldwork in a particular social/cultural "lived domain" (Madison, 2005, p. 5) as the text (aural, visual, gestural) for the performance (or representation) of other identities. Through ethnography, we are required to enter into a "deep and abiding dialogue with the Other" (Madison, 2005, p.B). Ethnographic performance is particularly focused on giving representation to individuals and groups whose voices and stories often go unheard.
This essay will focus on the conception, development, and impact of an ethnographic performance entitled You Always Go Home that was produced by the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies at Kennesaw …

Theatre For A New Theater: A Play On Architecture, 2010 Syracuse University
Theatre For A New Theater: A Play On Architecture, Alex Coulombe
Honors Capstone Projects - All
The project entails transforming a former military fort into a theater. The scopic parameters native to both fort and theater can provide a field of operation for an architecture that simultaneously mobilizes and exposes the machinery of spectacle. In tandem, amplifying and distorting existing conditions of the fort and repurposing them for a theatrical program can provide catalytic parameters for design that are typically absent when designing from a clean slate.
