Getting Your Bloke On: Gender Issues In The Reality Competition 'I Will Survive', Frank Miller
Getting Your Bloke On: Gender Issues In The Reality Competition 'I Will Survive', Frank Miller
Frank M Miller III
The Australian reality competition "I Will Survive" set out to find a cast replacement for the leading role in the Broadway production of "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." The stage version closed halfway through production the series, forcing a repositioning of the competition as the search to find "Australia's next triple threat."

The Aesthetic of Revolution in the Film and Literature of Naguib Mahfouz is the first full-length study in English to examine this critical period in the author’s career and to contextualize it within the scope of post-revolutionary Egyptian politics and culture.

He did so at a time when …
