The Dilemma Of Dezra: An Adolescent Manifesto In Five Parts, Erin Phillips Jun 2010

The Dilemma Of Dezra: An Adolescent Manifesto In Five Parts, Erin Phillips

Theatre & Dance ETDs

The adolescent body and the space of performance both employ a dynamic of liminality - constantly changing and shifting, never "complete," never able to be fully defined, understood, or categorized. There is a compulsion we have in naming, categorizing and defining the bodies and emotional life of young people. Where the liminality of performance may be welcomed and viewed as a necessary and desired component of the experience, the liminality of adolescence is deeply troubling. The issue of erotic agency further complicates our relationship to the adolescent body - a concept of "body" that seems almost born out of erotic …


Like A Moth To The Flame: Modernity And Mary Wigman 1886-1973, Mary Anne Santos Newhall Jun 2010

Like A Moth To The Flame: Modernity And Mary Wigman 1886-1973, Mary Anne Santos Newhall

History ETDs

From her birth in 1886 to her death in 1973, the life of German dancer Mary Wigman spanned the Wilhelmine Empire, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich and the post-war years. She stands as a seminal figure in what has come to be known as the modern dance. Her Ausdruckstanz or dance of expression was fundamental to the development of dance and theater in Germany and beyond. Her aesthetic ideas were disseminated across the European continent and traveled to the United States through her own touring from 1929-1932 and continued after the establishment of the Mary Wigman School in New …


Literature In Motion: Mary Anthony's Use Of Shakespearean And Biblical Themes In Modern Dance, Gwendolyn Lee Jensen Jun 2010

Literature In Motion: Mary Anthony's Use Of Shakespearean And Biblical Themes In Modern Dance, Gwendolyn Lee Jensen

Theatre & Dance ETDs

In this thesis, I analyze the life and work of Mary Anthony in my exploration of modern dance with literary influence. I approach Anthonys use of Shakespearean and Biblical themes as dramatic and timeless literary stimuli for portraying morality, mortality, and humanity as important to the American modern dance style established by her predecessors. I discuss how her lifelong interest in theatre led to her use of dramatic literary sources as a way of producing dance with theatrical elements, or what she calls 'total theatre' rather than dance alone; the clear conception inherent in written works, as well as the …


The Path To Personal Salvation: The Hermetic Trope Of Self-Mastery In Shakespeare, Bacon, And Milton, Cassandra Amundson Jun 2010

The Path To Personal Salvation: The Hermetic Trope Of Self-Mastery In Shakespeare, Bacon, And Milton, Cassandra Amundson

English Language and Literature ETDs

My dissertation examines Renaissance authors investment in the Hermetic tradition. This tradition is based on the Hellenistic Egyptian philosophical-theological writings ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus, which emerged in parallel with early Christianity, Neoplatonism, and Gnosticism. The Hermetic tradition gained importance in the Renaissance with Marsilio Ficino's translations and soon became an alternative avenue for the exploration in the spiritual conception of the 'self' as divine, a conception previously closed off by medieval orthodox religious and secular traditions. I argue that principal figures in the Renaissance and Restoration—Shakespeare, Bacon, and Milton—were engaged in constructing this Hermetic mode of thinking to illustrate individuals' …

Identidad And Mejicanidad: Dance Transference Through Mexican Folklórico, Azteca, And Flamenco Dance, Erica Ocegueda Feb 2010

Identidad And Mejicanidad: Dance Transference Through Mexican Folklórico, Azteca, And Flamenco Dance, Erica Ocegueda

Theatre & Dance ETDs

Identidad and Mejicanidad examines cultural identity and dance through the lens of 'owners,' 'borrowers,' and 'renters'. I examine how non-professional participants of these dance forms are beacons for cultural expression and serve to explore the fringe of the sense of cultural knowing through Mexican Folklórico, Azteca, and Flamenco dance. Through these dance forms I interrogate how cultural identity frames questions of authenticity and identity. Ownership of cultural identity and issues of authenticity are a source of ire for many underrepresented groups of people. Maintaining who is 'in control' of a cultural expressions' evolution is a common dispute. The legacy of …


Cinema Dance: The Development Of An Art Form As Defined By Busby Berkeley's Work With The Hollywood Musical During The Great Depression, Carol Bender Feb 2010

Cinema Dance: The Development Of An Art Form As Defined By Busby Berkeley's Work With The Hollywood Musical During The Great Depression, Carol Bender

Theatre & Dance ETDs

Dance in entertainment film media, cinema dance, is a hot topic in the current arts world, originating from dance in Hollywood films. Cinema dance developed from the Hollywood musicals of the 1930s, where the camera became a partner in the dance, rather than a piece of equipment that captured dance. The largest contributor to the development of the camera as a partner in the dance was Busby Berkeley. Utilizing technological advancements in film and the growing popularity of the Hollywood musical during the Great Depression, Busby Berkeley clarified the art of cinema dance through the coordination of dance and camera …


Fear And Joy In The Dance Of Death: Re-Interpreting The 14th Century Plague's Artistic Genre, Mary Cianflone Feb 2010

Fear And Joy In The Dance Of Death: Re-Interpreting The 14th Century Plague's Artistic Genre, Mary Cianflone

Theatre & Dance ETDs

This thesis explores dancing bodies in the Dance of Death genre after the 14th century plague, known today as the Black Death. At that time, Western Europe withstood great losses in body count, with one third of the total European population dying, and in the faith and well-being of its civilization (McNeill 168). Even today, the Black Death continues to be a fascinating area of study because of its political, social, religious, and artistic impact. By considering dance, its images, and mythology, scholars can learn more about medieval perceptions of art, bodies, and faith. Taking as my research objective medieval …


Flamenco And Its Gitanos An Investigation Of The Paradox Of Andalusia: History, Politics And Dance Art, Rosamaria Cisneros-Kostic Feb 2010

Flamenco And Its Gitanos An Investigation Of The Paradox Of Andalusia: History, Politics And Dance Art, Rosamaria Cisneros-Kostic

Theatre & Dance ETDs

Andalusia, Spain is considered the birthplace of flamenco. The art form not only embodies but represents the complex, multifaceted Andalusian identity. The southern region is a land of contradictions which includes the Gitano/Roma culture. The Spanish Gitano community laid the foundation for what we now call flamenco. The amalgamation of the cultures which existed in Spain informed the genre. These influences are explored with a thorough analysis of the of the Gitano/Roma nation. I document their journey from India to Spain and unravel the core elements of their identity. I focus on flamenco history and break down the song, guitar …

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

IRRATIONAL AND VISIONARY IMAGERY IN CANTE JONDO AND THE NEO-POPULAR POETRY OF FEDERICO GARCIA LORCA AND RAFAEL ALBERTI BY DAVID A. BRIGGS B.A., Romance Languages and Literature, Boston University, 1964 M.A., Spanish, The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, 2002 Ph.D., Spanish and Portuguese, The University of New Mexico, 2009 ABSTRACT Spanish poet Rafael Alberti of the Generation of 27 claimed that 'Surrealism had been practiced in Spain since time immemorial as part of the tradition of popular song and folk poetry' (Rafael Alberti qtd. in Harris 34). What is it that permits applying an early twentieth-century term, 'Surrealism' to the …


Narrative As Self Performance: The Rhetorical Construction Of Identities On Facebook Profiles, Marianne Leonardi Feb 2010

Narrative As Self Performance: The Rhetorical Construction Of Identities On Facebook Profiles, Marianne Leonardi

Communication ETDs

New ways of creating and presenting the self in the "space" of the Internet are fascinating, but not yet fully understood. Framed in the theoretical literature of Goffman's presentation of the self, and Burke's conception of rhetoric, the study's primary concern is to explain and understand how Facebook users construct identities using narrative fragments on their profiles and the offline effects of these narrative performances. Specifically, this study argues that narratives are a type of rhetorical performance, and that both narratives and identities have symbolic meaning and rhetorical components. While the effects of online identities occur at the macro-level, the …


Metadata For Special Collections In Contentdm: How To Improve Interoperability Of Unique Fields Through Oai-Pmh, Myung-Ja Han, Christine Cho, Timothy W. Cole, Amy S. Jackson Dec 2009

Metadata For Special Collections In Contentdm: How To Improve Interoperability Of Unique Fields Through Oai-Pmh, Myung-Ja Han, Christine Cho, Timothy W. Cole, Amy S. Jackson

University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

Collection curators develop locally defined unique fields to support local requirements. As per the guidelines of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), Simple Dublin Core is the minimum requirement for exposing metadata to aggregators. Oftentimes the level of specificity of unique local fields is not translated well to Dublin Core, which may hinder the interoperability of the item metadata record. This paper researched 21 digital collections that were hosted in CONTENTdm. The objective was to explore the use and issues of unique fields in local context and recommend best practices that will increase the interoperability of metadata …

The Impact Of American Movies On Egyptian Cinema In 1950s And 1960s, Radi Abouelhassan Sep 2009

The Impact Of American Movies On Egyptian Cinema In 1950s And 1960s, Radi Abouelhassan

Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs

The 1952 military coup in Egypt constituted the beginning of a new era in Egypts history and pushed forward substantial societal, economic and political changes. These changes represent the fruits of the revolutionary regime's pro-modernization ideology. In their search for modernity, the Egyptian elite invested in cinema as well as other forms of media and tended to follow the models of western countries. The strong relation between the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and the US, as well as the dominance of the American movies shown Egypt compared to other foreign cinematic industries at that time, directed the Egyptian elite …

The Hyphenated Playwright: A Speculation On Opportunities For An Emerging Mfa, Terry Davis Jul 2009

The Hyphenated Playwright: A Speculation On Opportunities For An Emerging Mfa, Terry Davis

Theatre & Dance ETDs

Few playwrights in the history of theater have earned a living from their writing. Certainly contemporary playwrights append other theatrical duties to their title to make a living. How, then, will the current crop of MFAs function in today's theater with their newly-minted degrees in dramatic writing? The author suggests that finding suitable role models could help clarify the post-graduate path and, using himself as a model, compares his own work and theatrical history to two working playwrights, Steven Dietz and Emily Mann. In those two examples, he finds encouraging possibilities as a writer as well as potential models for …


Writing The Warrior: A Latina Writes Latinas, Patricia S. Crespin Jul 2009

Writing The Warrior: A Latina Writes Latinas, Patricia S. Crespin

Theatre & Dance ETDs

This paper discusses the relationship between Latina writer and her warrior woman character on the stage. It defines the warrior woman from an extrapolated viewpoint and it reveals the motivations behind the inspiration to create a Latina woman who has many distinct attributes and nuances. It investigates the idea of a silent warrior and a vixen/victim warrior and how she comes to the stage through the mind of the writer and challenges the idea that even writer's who are aware of the stereotypical identities given to Latina women, use these distinctive identities for the sake of drama.
