Re-Envisioning A Genre: Creating New Musical Theatre Methodologies With Crazy For YouSelf, Courtney Laine 01 May 2011 (has links)
This document will account the process, from research and analysis through post-production reflection, of directing and choreographing Crazy For You in the mainstage academic season of Southern Illinois University Carbondale's Theater Department in the Fall of 2010. Further, this paper highlights the more prominent aspects in order to continue the author's work to deconstruct and define the musical theatre genre. Chapter One focuses on two major aspects of current perceptions of musical theatre in an effort to address the genre's efficacy. The chapter first examines how musical theatre is defined and critiqued by the outsider and sometimes inadequately handled by the practitioner. Next, the development of the genre is examined as it pertains to the genesis of Crazy For You, both book and music, as well as contemporary relevance. The second chapter opens with a statement of specific objectives for this production process along with a discussion of vision and concept. The latter half examines the most relevant research employed early in the process. Chapter Three details issues from design and production meetings through rehearsals and performances while the final chapter reflects upon the effectiveness of the aforementioned tactics and objectives. The Appendices include additional documents pertinent to the overall discussion.

Cultural Play at the Crazy Horse Colossus: NarrativeCornwell, Thomas M 14 July 2010 (has links)
This thesis explores the Crazy Horse Memorial orientation film and its rhetorical claim to represent Lakota values in the rhetorically contested Black Hills of South Dakota. Walter Fisher’s concept of narrative rationality is used to analyze the informal logic of the memorial film narrative. The Crazy Horse Memorial is seen as a response to Mt. Rushmore’s colonialist legacy. Analysis shows that the Crazy Horse Memorial actually has much in common with Rushmore’s legacy of Euro-American colonialism. This thesis discusses the effects of this redefinition of Lakota cultural values on the rhetorical sphere of the contested Black Hills.

Investigation of an Invasive Ant Species: Nylanderia fulva Colony Extraction, Management, Diet Preference, Fecundity, and Mechanical Vector PotentialMcDonald, Danny 1983- 14 March 2013 (has links)
Invasive species often threaten biodiversity and environmental processes in their introduced range by extirpating native species due to competition for resources. Nylanderia fulva (formerly N. (=Paratrechina) sp. nr. pubens) is an ecologically dominant and economically important invasive species in the United States. This dissertation addresses aspects of the biology, behavior, management, and collection techniques for N. fulva. Specifically, topics investigated include a modified drip technique for extracting ants from their substrate, the effectiveness of a broadcast ant bait as a stand-alone treatment, the foraging preference and peak activity of workers, the reproductive potential of queens, and the ability of this species to translocate pathogenic microorganisms. The primary goal of these works was to better understand the biological idiosyncrasies of this species that may ultimately lead to the mitigation N. fulva populations.
A modified drip technique was developed to quickly and efficiently extract N. fulva from their nesting substrates. Ants and their associated substrates were collected in 18.9 L buckets lined with talcum powder and transported to the laboratory. Substrates were weighted down and a cardboard tower was provided for the immigration of ants as they were forced out of substrates with a slow influx of water.
Three applications of Advance Carpenter Ant Bait (ACAB) were applied to a N. fulva population in East Columbia, TX. A series of GIS interpolated maps depict achieved management and subsequent rebound of N. fulva populations. As great as 77% population reduction was achieved by 1 week post treatment, but N. fulva populations rebounded within 3-4 weeks. As a stand-alone treatment, this bait did not provide adequate ant management in treatment plots.
Diet preference experiments were performed using artificial diets and food lures. These results of these trials indicated that N. fulva preferred the most carbohydrate rich diet offered through all seasons and that mint apple jelly or hot dog slices were the favored food lures. Diel foraging behavior was observed when temperatures were between 9.95 and 37.26 degrees C. Peak foraging activity occurred at 28.24 +/- 3.12 degrees C.
A laboratory investigation of N. fulva suggested that as the number of queens increased, individual queen fecundity increased. This phenomenon is a novel observation among ants and suggests an alternative mechanism for intracolony dominance. Hexagyne colony fecundity of 0.25 +/- 0.12 eggs/queen/hr was the maximum fecundity observed.
Results of laboratory experiments showed that N. fulva were capable of transferring E. coli up to 4.5 m in 6 hrs after acquisition from a contaminated source. Pyrosequencing of ectomicrobial assemblages revealed a suite of 518 bacteria and 135 fungi species associated with N. fulva, many of which are known pathogens of plants and animals, including humans. These results suggested that N. fulva should be regarded as both a medically and agriculturally important species.

Making Love : En socialkonstruktivistisk analys av relationen mellan kärlek och sexÅhman, Alexander January 2013 (has links)
Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera hur det moderna samhället i västvärlden ser på och pratar om sex och kärlek. Jag tittar på hur de kombineras i den så kallade kärleksideologin. Objektet för min analys är filmen Crazy, stupid, love från 2011. Jag använder exempel från filmen för att observera vissa kulturella aspekter som vi har i västvärlden kring kärlek och sex. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten för uppsatsen är det socialkonstruktivistiska perspektivet (Barlebo Wenneberg 2001) och modern filmteori (Andersson och Hedling 1995). Resultatet visar bland annat att fiktiva verk, som filmen jag använder i uppsatsen, kan ta en plats i den kulturella diskursen. Filmen behåller legitimitet då den harmoniserar med många av västvärldens förhoppningar kring relationer och romantik. Kärleksidealet fortsätter att vara dominant idag trots att det uppstår konflikter mellan kärleksidealets mer traditionella konstruktion och det postmoderna samhällets andra normer. / The purpose of the thesis is to analyze how the modern west society looks upon and talks about sex and love. I am looking at how they are combined in the so called romantic ideology. The object of my analyzes is the movie Crazy, stupid love from 2011. I will observe certain cultural aspects of western society considering love and sex by using examples from the movie. My theoretical platform for the thesis will be the social constructive perspective (Barlebo Wenneberg 2001) an modern film theory (Andersson och Hedling 1995). The result show amongst other things that works of fiction, like the movie I use in the thesis, can in fact take a position in the cultural discourse. The movie keeps its legitimacy by harmoniesing with many of the beliefs and hopes that we in the west have about relationships and romance. The romantic ideology keeps being dominant today even though there are conflicts between the romantic ideology’s more traditional construction and the post modern society’s other norms.

Crazy Rich Asians: dramakomedi eller reklamkanal? : En kvalitativ studie om svenska studenters tolkningar av Singapores nationsvarumärke genom film. / Crazy Rich Asians: romantic comedy or marketing tool? : A qualitative study of Swedish students' interpretations of Singapore's nation brand through film.Olsson, Anna, Bryngelsson, Julia January 2020 (has links)
Nationer är komplexa varumärken i kontrast till organisationers eller företags varumärken. De omfattar en rad aspekter såsom exempelvis turism, näringsliv och politik. Trots det, är det minst lika viktigt för ett land att skapa ett gott rykte kring sitt varumärke. Att sponsra en film är ett av alla tillvägagångssätt att nå ut med sitt varumärke till omvärlden. Det gjorde Singapores turistnämnd, när de sponsrade filmen Crazy Rich Asians. Hollywoodfilmen släpptes år 2018 och blev en succé i många länder. Denna studie har undersökt på vilket sätt en geografiskt distanserad publik tolkat landets varumärke genom filmen. Syftet med studien är att framhäva på vilket sätt en geografiskt distanserad publik tolkar ett nationsvarumärke i film. Fem svenska studenter deltog i en fokusgrupp. Studien kom fram till att (1) Singapores varumärke uppmärksammades tydligt av en geografiskt distanserad publik genom filmen, men att (2) vissa singaporianska kulturer och traditioner som framhävs tolkades på ett icke-önskvärt sätt. Studiens resultat understryker vikten av vilken kulturell kontext som filmen presenteras i. / Nations brands are complex in contrast to corporational- or organizational brands. There are numerous different aspects that need to be considered when building a strong nation brand for example within sectors revolving tourism, politics and infrastructure. Sponsoring a movie is one way for a nation to market themselves and reach out to a larger audience worldwide. In 2018 Singapore Tourism Board, STB, sponsored the movie Crazy Rich Asians, a movie that became a Hollywood success worldwide. This study aims to examine in which ways a geographical distanced audience responded to the movie and how their interpretation could help to construct Singapore's brand image. The purpose of the study is to highlight in what way a geographically distanced audience read a nation brand trough film. Five Swedish students participated in a focus group discussion on this matter after watching the movie Crazy Rich Asians. The study reveals that (1) a geographically distanced audience did create a brand image of Singapore through the movie. (2) Some of the Singaporean cultures and traditions that exposed in the movie were not read in a desirable way. The result of the study highlights the importance of which culture context a movie is presented in.
