▼ This collection of creative nonfiction encapsulates the author’s career as a
burlesque performer in New Orleans. The goal of this thesis is to tell her story using the techniques of creative nonfiction – specifically, the memoir. This is not merely a story of her career – it is a piece about her relationships, the author conquering her fears, and how she rises up to meet her goals. Part I tells of how the author discovers this new world and how she finds her place in it. Part II is the author’s personal narrative of her revelation to her family. This story will introduce those who are unfamiliar with
burlesque to a world of theatrics, sparkle, erotic subtexts, and this story needs the techniques of creative nonfiction to do it justice.

Burlesque : music, minstrelsy, and mimetic resistance.

▼ My project can be read as an intervention that aims to disrupt the "innocence" of
burlesque's dominant historical narratives, where
burlesque is fashioned as related to minstrelsy but not as minstrelsy. A discussion of the White women as minstrel performers is lacking in the available
burlesque histories because they have not addressed the meanings of musical sounds and movements, elements that constitute the core of
burlesque. Using music as a lens to re-evaluate the meanings of
burlesque performance, I show how
burlesque, like minstrelsy, has functioned on the historical erasure of Black and Brown bodies. In
burlesque, White women performers have predicated their departures from norms of White femininity on racist performances of "black"-ness. These minstrel performances were enabled by a White fetishization of musical sounds and movements coded Black or "Other." Building on the work of Jayna Brown and Sherrie Tucker, and responding to Susanne Cusick's call to address how musical performances might be read productively through Judith Butler's theory of performativity, I foreground music and embodiment to ask: How do
burlesque artists perform and (re)perform gender, sexuality, and race? To unpack this question, I first look at historical (re)presentations of
burlesque performance and music. After this historical section, I read key scenes from classic era films featuring
burlesque music and performance, using semiotics to argue that these performances can be read as an extension of blackface minstrelsy. I discuss how certain jazz-influenced musical devices - horn smears, belting or "loud" singing, angular or jerky dancing - primarily functioned to signal "black"-ness, sex, and modernity to the intended White audience/spectator. In the next chapter, I examine the extent to which neo-
burlesque could be considered a queering of
burlesque by doing close readings of contemporary
burlesque performances. From here, I look more critically at how racial and genre boundaries are created and maintained within contemporary
burlesque, resulting in a new
burlesque normativity. Finally, I highlight the work being done by
burlesque performers of color who work within and against
burlesque's dominant ideologies, subverting racist representations of people of color through mimetic resistance.

▼ This thesis explores the expression of women’s social roles in
burlesque subculture in Sydney, Australia, between 2010 and 2015. The analysis reflects on the gender roles available to women in
burlesque via bricolage, described by media theorist and sociologist Dick Hebdige, and on twenty-first-century subcultural fashion in relation to gender, as discussed by Theresa Winge, Claire Nally and Helen Reddington. Resurgence in the popularity of
burlesque in Sydney since 2005 has generated new questions about gender roles available to women. Through my case study of
burlesque performers and my experimentation with fashion silhouettes in use in Sydney’s
burlesque scene, I contribute to this debate and explore the ways in which bricolage explains previously overlooked aspects of
burlesque adaptations of gender stereotypes in a contemporary context.

La nourriture dans l'oeuvre d'Albert Cohen, un mariage miraculeux des contraires : Food in Albert Cohen’s Works, A Miraculous Marriage of Contraries.

▼ L’étude du thème de la nourriture conduit à analyser trois fonctions de l’alimentation dans l’œuvre de Cohen. La première, indissociable du cadre de la diégèse, concerne le cérémonial inhérent à la mise en scène des repas. Selon qu’ils se déroulent dans le milieu occidental ou au sein du groupe des Valeureux, ces moments de consommation débouchent rapidement sur une caractérisation des personnages et sur une mise à jour des liens socio-culturels qui les unissent ou les séparent. Partager un déjeuner ne constitue donc pas un simple geste de convivialité. C’est une action qui peut tendre vers la spiritualité d’une communion ou consacrer la rupture irrémédiable avec autrui. Mais c’est lorsque l’on quitte la table pour s’intéresser aux faits alimentaires ponctuels, multiples dans l’œuvre, que la nourriture de Cohen devient riche de significations. Constituant un réseau de signes symboliques qui affleurent dans les textes, l’alimentation correspond à une nouvelle forme de langage qui exprime les obsessions les plus intimes. Mère, religion, amour, réflexion sur le temps et sur l’absurdité de la vie, tous les domaines s’évaluent à l’aune de la nourriture : celle du passé et des souvenirs — tour à tour regrettée ou indésirable — celle du présent qui oscille entre le plaisir de l’instant et une lassitude existentielle, celle d’un futur incertain, qui ne garantit qu’une promesse de désillusions. De cet univers aux sombres perspectives émerge pourtant une figure de « vainqueur éternel », celle de Mangeclous. Le personnage burlesque est, en effet, celui qui a le dernier mot. Capable de sublimer l’art de la cuisine, il élabore une poétique aux accents parodiques qui se joue de la farce de l’existence. C’est en passant par la création de cet ogre mythique que l’auteur confère au champ alimentaire son unique et véritable richesse.
Focusing on the theme of food in Albert Cohen’s works allows us to identify three basic functions for food. The first function, which cannot be dissociated from the diegesis, has to do with the ceremony inherent in the staging of meals. Whether they take place in a Western setting or within the group of the Valeureux, these episodes of consumption often lead to a characterization of the protagonists and a presentation of the sociocultural links that both unite and separate them. Sharing a meal is much more than just enjoying a moment of conviviality. It can as easily result in a spiritual communion as in an irreversible break with someone else. Yet, food takes on a deeper meaning when studied in its multiple punctual manifestations rather than within the context of meals. Coalescing into a network of symbolic signs, food offers a new form of language through which the most intimate obsessions can be expressed.Motherhood, religion, love, time or the absurdity of life are so many themes that can be analyzed through the motif of food – be it the food of the past (either desired or scorned), the food of the present, which both provides a brief moment of pleasure and occasions an existential ennui, or the…

Le héros picaresque dans l'oeuvre de Charles Coypeau d'Assoucy : The picaresque hero in the work of Charles Coypeau Dassoucy.

▼ Dassoucy a fait de ses Aventures burlesques un plaidoyer « historique ». Il se présente comme un personnage en quête de son existence, d'une cohérence de valeurs et de sentiments ; cette quête se définit comme une bataille contre les contraintes sociales,juridiques et religieuses, et génère une conception de la vie comme espace de liberté et d'aspiration à l'authenticité.Mon objectif était de rappeler les origines du genre pour mettre en évidence la spécificité du héros picaresque chez Dassoucy, tout à fait différente du picaresque traditionnel. Comme de nombreux écrivains de son époque, Théophile de Viau, Cyrano et Chapelle,Dassoucy nous montre l'envers du Grand~siècle. La pensée libertine n'est pas l'apanage de Dassoucy mais elle est beaucoup plus claire chez lui. Il s1agit de libertinage des moeurs, dont les traits apparaissent dans l'obscénité diogénique de l'auteur, dans ses impostures et surtout dans son discours libertin chargé de propos audacieux - obscènes ou blasphématoires. Toutes les contraintes sont rejetées, toutes les limites sont dépassées. La complexité de la réception du texte dassoucien dont la saisie échappe au commun des lecteurs, surtout celui habitué à la continuité et à la linéarité des textes classiques, fait la modernité de son libertinage. Le lecteur est dans ! 'obligation de s'adapter à cette nouvelle forme d'écriture en rompant avec ses habitudes et en déchiffrant l'écriture burlesque de Dassoucy.
Dassoucy turned his Burlesque adventures into a "historical" plea. The main character is in search of the meaning of his own life, a coherence of values and feelings; this quest is defined as a battle against social, legal and religious constraints,and generates a conception of life as an area of freedom and aspiration to authenticity. My objective was to point out the origins of the genre in order to highlight the specificity of the picaresque hero in Dassoucy's works, quite different from traditional picaresque. Like many writers of his time, Theophile de Viau, Cyrano and Chapelle, Dassoucy shows us the dark side of the Great Century. Libertine thought is not the prerogative of Dassoucy, but it is much clearer in his work. It is the libertinism of a way of life, whose features appear in the Diogenic obscenity of the author, in his impostures, and especially in his libertine discourse, loaded wîth audacious, obscene and blasphemous rernarks. Ali constraints are rejected. The complexity of the text constitutes the modernity of such a libertinism. The reader is obliged to break with his Iiterary conventions and habits in order to decipher the burlesque writing of Dassoucy.

▼ Richard Strauss’s one-act opera FRIEDENSTAG (DAY OF PEACE) has received staunch criticism regarding its overt militaristic content and compositional merits. The opera is one of several works that Strauss composed between 1933 and 1945, when the National Socialists were in power in Germany. Owing to Strauss’s formal involvement with the Third Reich, his artistic and political activities during this period have invited much scrutiny. The context of the opera’s premiere in 1938, just as Germany’s aggressive stance in Europe intensified, has encouraged a range of assessments regarding its preoccupation with war and peace. The opera’s defenders read its dramatic and musical components via lenses of pacifism and resistance to Nazi ideology. Others simply dismiss the opera as platitudinous. Eschewing a strict political stance as an interpretive guide, this thesis instead explores the means by which Strauss pursued more ambiguous and multidimensional levels of meaning in the opera. Specifically, I highlight the ways he infused the dramaturgical and musical landscapes of FRIEDENSTAG with burlesque elements. These malleable instances of irony open the opera up to a variety of fresh and fascinating interpretations, illustrating how FRIEDENSTAG remains a lynchpin for judiciously appraising Strauss’s artistic and political legacy.
In this thesis, attention is paid to the troubled period of the opera’s genesis, from Strauss’s initial collaboration with author Stefan Zweig to its eventual completion with Joseph Gregor in 1936. Close study of the score reveals how Strauss, despite his struggles with the libretto, carefully integrated music and politics into a complex artwork that eludes the epithets of “Nazi” and “pacifist” in favor of a more nuanced understanding. A century and a half after Strauss’s birth, FRIEDENSTAG continues to shed light on the precarious world that he and other German artists navigated on the eve of World War II

▼ The Grotesque Menagerie is an exploration of domestic and gender roles of the American West. The burlesque and the grotesque are used as the dissection tools throughout this manuscript to examine these roles, and in so doing pervert both the ideal and the abject. As the author, these poetic explorations and dissections leave me stuck in an odd androgyny: I am suspect of my own feminist preclusions and oddly obliged to interact with the established patriarchal tropes of the western poetic cannon. I do not reject the canon as a symbol of patriarchal power; I do not request the role of woman to be forefront; I am, at once, transfixed and emasculated.
This androgyny is mirrored by the main character, a carnival barker or master of ceremonies, Whispering Ted. Ted is a female hysteric: at once attempting to embrace and subvert gender roles while being haunted by the perversion of the domestic ideal. Hysteric in Freudian terms, or as Mary Russo explains in her text The Female Grotesque: Risk, Excess, Modernity, Ted is “ungrounded and out of bounds, enacting her pantomime of anguish and rebellion” (Russo, 9). However, as the Burlesque degrades from the intention of woman as gender equal to woman as sexual object, as the intellectual attempts of this manuscript begin to unravel under the perceived and demanded audience gaze, so too does Ted unravel, both physically and emotionally. Ted embodies the voice of the author struggling to maintain both feminine and masculine roles, enacting the tearing discrepancies between forces.
The Grotesque Menagerie is grotesque in three critical understandings of the term. The term grotesque was an exceedingly fortunate misnomer of sculptures and paintings uncovered in apertures during the excavation of Nero’s Domus Aurea. Grotto-esque, cave-like, earthy, dark, visceral: all traditional, if not Freudian, images and symbols for womanhood. Though I would not claim the Menagerie overtly feminist, the exploration of female sexuality inherent in the exploration of the domestic is unavoidable; the archetypes of cavernous female will surface because I cannot completely subvert the history of my language or poetics.
However, post-Romantic grotesque is tied to the Freudian understanding of the unheimlich: the uncanny. From the German heimlich meaning the familiar, the home, we would consider the unheimlich as the opposite: the terrifying and horrifying elements of gothic or horror narratives. However, unheimlich implies heimlich and therefore the disorienting coupling of unfamiliar within the familiar. The Menagerie embraces these further implications of the uncanny, the unknown darkness implicit in home and domesticity.
Simultaneously, and somehow not venturing far from the uncanny understanding, the third grotesque is tied to that which is outrageous: comedy, hilarity, and Camp. Both the uncanny (gothic) and humorous (carnival) grotesques are based in the abjection of identity and body brought to a point of spectacle, which both undermines and reinforces the existing social structure. As the poet…

▼ This dissertation examines the ways performance offers opportunities to resist sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, fat phobic, and ableist narratives. Through ethnographic research with the Tucson Libertine League (TLL)
burlesque community in Tucson, AZ, I argue that the erotic desire/s of narrative striptease reveal the rhetorical possibility in
burlesque performance – its capacity to be politically persuasive. Engaging an intersectional feminist methodology, I use interviews, observation, performance as method, and act analysis to study acts by a heterogenous group of woman-identified performers who identify as lesbian, queer, trans, fat, of color, and/or disabled, and center their performances around these intersectional subjectivities. My inclusion in this community as a performer allowed me to participate and observe from backstage, on stage, and in the audience. I also produced and performed in a 16-act show, “Tucson Libertine League presents: Future Fantasies” as a part of this project.
Following Audre Lorde’s characterization of the erotic as a source of personal power and the Ancient Greeks’ depiction of the god Eros as foundational to human existence, I utilize a complex understanding of erotic desire beyond simply the sexual, to its reflection of deeper knowledges and self-determination. The nature of live performance means that
burlesque performers have access only to their brief time on stage and the particular audience in front of them in order to utilize burlesque’s rhetorical potential. In response to a paucity of literature at the intersection of desire and kairos, the propitious moment for action, I develop the concept “kaieros:” the interpretation of the erotic (eros) as a kairotic opportunity for rhetorical intervention that signals a potential re/negotiation of meaning around performers’ intersectional subjectivities. The rhetorical encounter of performer-audience interaction during narrative striptease holds the potential to shift conceptualizations about what and whom can be desired, desirable, and desirous, and by whom. This momentary rhetorical potential is made possible by erotic desire’s mutability, its characterization as a fluid entity and experience (for both audience and performer). Desire becomes multivalent and powerful, capable not only of putting bodies and subjectivities in dynamic relationship with one another but also, by extension, of re/negotiating meanings around those bodies and subjectivities.
This dissertation reveals two ways in which
burlesque performers employ the rhetorical possibility of narrative striptease’s kaierotic exchange: by staging rageful resistance to racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, fat phobia, and ableism, thereby recruiting the audience into their protest; and by offering snapshots of potential alternate futures, utopic times and spaces where racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, fat phobia, and ableism no longer exist, and where these intersectional subjects are valued and desired. Not only do I underscore performance’s role in…

▼ My thesis examines the event of Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School, which has branches in over 120 cities worldwide. Dr Sketchy's combines the format of a life drawing class with burlesque performance, creating an event that focuses on both the performance and the creation of art by the attendees. Dr Sketchy's was begun in New York in 2005 by its creator Molly Crabapple, now an internationally recognized artist and popular alternative celebrity. I focus my study on the Christchurch branch of Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School, founded in June 2010 by Audrey Baldwin, a performance artist and Fine Arts graduate of the University of Canterbury.
In my thesis I discuss the way Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School combines and compromises between the life drawing format and the burlesque performance, despite the differences and seeming incompatibilities between these two forms. I investigate Dr Sketchy's as a contemporary cultural performance which combines and to some degree inverts established genres of performance. I give a detailed history of burlesque performance and of life drawing within art education to allow a comprehensive comparison of the two traditions, particularly the way each has conceptualized the nude female body. I argue that the combination of the two forms allows Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School to transgress the traditional boundaries of each format and introduce influences that would otherwise endanger the status of life drawing and burlesque performance within their respective contexts. I also argue that the nude within Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School transgresses the traditional conception of the nude within life drawing by using burlesque as an acceptable reference for the transgressive elements of the show.
The arguments put forward in this thesis are the product of extensive participant observation, interviews and literature reviews on the relevant art and performance traditions.

▼ Burlesque Female Behemoths analyzes the rebirth of the American burlesque scene over the past two decades and considers the political and cultural landscapes that have allowed for the emergent movement known as neo-burlesque. Particularly, it examines the communities of fat-identified, queer femme dancers who vigorously challenge rampant fatphobia through the bump and shimmy of modern burlesque choreographies and routines. Rather than suggest a re-reading of fat, femme bodies through hegemonic notions of beauty, femininity, and ability, this dissertation engages recent scholarship on queer failure and reveals the transgressive nature of these performances that dare express fat and queer desire on stage. By considering fat, femme burlesque against the current moment of fat panic, this dissertation reveals the, often, political nature of these performances as they defy and attempt to dismantle neoliberal regimes of morality, responsibility, and shame. Burlesque Female Behemoths offers a reading of fat, femme performance as capable of producing a new body politic that subverts contemporary models of success, re-imagines queer failure through corporeal epistemologies, and causes paradigmatic shifts in categories of health, aesthetic, and desire to the benefit of all bodies.

▼ Le Père Jésuite François Garasse reste un écrivain du premier XVIIe siècle assez connu et peu étudié en dépit de son abondante production polémique, publiée entre 1614 et 1626. Son œuvre est réputée illisible, par les valeurs qu’elle défend et la violence qu’elle déploie, par sa longueur et son manque de consistance, par son style même, enfin. Cependant, les travaux sur le libertinage ont conduit à s’intéresser à la figure du libertin telle qu’il la dessine dans sa Doctrine curieuse. De telles études invitent à reconsidérer le Père Garasse, qui apparaît comme le jésuite polémiste le plus lu et le plus connu entre 1617 et 1626, et comme un prédicateur à succès. L’ensemble de son œuvre, cependant, ne fait encore à ce jour l’objet d’aucune étude spécifique. Le Père Garasse, qui participe à l’ensemble des querelles de son temps, est étudié ponctuellement, de façon fragmentaire, et n’est que très peu analysé en tant que tel. Ce projet se propose d’inverser les perspectives, en s’intéressant au Père Garasse, non pas sous l’angle du libertinage ou du jansénisme naissant, mais sous l’angle qui est le sien, celui de la Réforme catholique et de ses combats, celui de la Compagnie de Jésus et de ses intérêts. Il s’agit d’envisager son œuvre polémique dans son ensemble et pour elle-même, d’un point de vue double, philosophique, théologique et moral d’une part, littéraire d’autre part ; il s’agit de s’attacher à établir s’il existe une pensée du Père Garasse, et à déterminer les formes par lesquelles elle s’énonce. Son œuvre, essentiellement polémique, est également à étudier dans le rapport qu’elle tisse avec les autres œuvres de son temps, qu’il s’agisse de rapports d’opposition, ou de filiation. Ce projet vise donc à mettre en perspective l’œuvre du Père Garasse, à la replacer dans le contexte de son époque, polémique et rhétorique, pour mieux en dégager la spécificité littéraire et philosophique.
Father François Garasse remains a jesuit writer of the first seventeenth century quite known and little studied, despite its abundant controversy production, published between 1614 and 1626.His work is deemed illegible, by the values it defends and the violence it deploys, by its length and lack of consistency, by its style, finally. However, works on libertinism led to interest in the figure of the libertine as he draws it in his Doctrine curieuse . Such studies invite to reconsider Father Garasse, which appears as the jesuit polemicist most read and most famous between 1617 and 1626, and as a successful preacher. His work, however, has not been studied yet in a whole. Father Garasse, who participates in all the quarrels of his time, is the subject to intermittent, piecemeal analysis. This project aims to reverse perspectives, focusing father Garasse, not in terms of libertinism or nascent Jansenism, but from his angle : Catholic Reformation and its fighting, Society of Jesus and its interests. His polemical work will be considered as a whole and for herself, in a double point of view, philosophical, theological and moral on one…

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
This project investigates the contextual and aesthetic frameworks for a creative work inspired by the practice and reception of racial transvestism and burlesque in the 19th and 21st centuries. Few Australians may be aware of the depth and reach of a particular form of racial transvestism — blackface minstrelsy — in Australia during the 19th century. Likewise, few appear aware that “burlesque,” sometimes characterised today as “white-collar” striptease, once characterised an entire mode of 19th-century theatrical entertainment. During the 19th century, burlesques — parodies of mainstream operas and plays — came to be a fixture on blackface minstrel programmes. The exegesis investigates the practice of burlesque and blackface minstrelsy in the Hunter Valley, a region of colonial New South Wales, and, using available historical evidence, conjures a speculative fiction: a blackface minstrel burlesque with a provenance suggesting a regional “premiere” in 1869. This speculative fiction is framed in popular sensibilities redolent of 19th-century humour — ludicrous and grotesque — and like some minstrel burlesques of the period, responds to a real event of some note: in this case, a public corroboree performed by Aboriginal groups to entertain a white colonial population in Maitland, NSW. Although representations of Australian Aborigines in colonial drama were strongly influence by minstrelsy (and minstrelsy could be a vehicle for mocking any ethnic minority), minstrelsy per se appears to have overlooked indigenous Australians in favour of (black) American racial targets. A latterday attempt to correct this apparent historical oversight, the speculative fiction perverts what may have been the first piece of colonial literature with an entirely indigenous cast of characters, G.W. Rusden’s <i>Moyarra: An Aboriginal Legend</i>. There is no score or libretto for this speculative fiction: its “existence” and, indeed many of its features, are inferred from a fake advertisement purportedly taken from local newspapers in 1869. But in turn, the speculative fiction based on Rusden’s text (<i>Moyarra: An Un-Original Burlesque Extravaganza</i>) itself becomes the subject for burlesque: a 21st-century neo-burlesque with more contemporary references, <i>Moyarra: An Extravagant Undress</i>, here represented by libretto, score, and recording. In spirit and form, <i>Moyarra: An Extravagant Undress</i> is a 19th-century burlesque treatment of the speculative fiction: the “low” vernacular libretto becomes “high” poetry; racial targets are cast aside in favour of post-humanist/technological targets; the music assumes a contemporary aspect and includes references to the modern canon of popular music; and the production acquires the trappings of a contemporary understanding of burlesque. While not entirely abandoning ludicrous and grotesque, the <i>Extravagant Undress</i> relies on a “camp” aesthetic or…

▼ Challenging the common notion that mythological comedies simply burlesque stories found in epic and tragedy, this dissertation shows that comic poets were active participants in creating and transmitting myths and argues that their mythical innovations influenced accounts found in tragedy and prose mythography. Although no complete Greek mythological comedy survives, hundreds of fragments and titles reveal that this type of drama was extremely popular; they were staged in Greece, Sicily, and Southern Italy and make up about one-half of all comedies produced in some periods. These fragments, supplemented by Plautus' Amphitruo (the only nearly complete mythological comedy), vase-paintings, and ancient testimonia, shed light on the vibrant tradition of comic mythology.
In chapter one, I argue that ancient scholars' and prose mythographers' citations of comedies invite us to view comedians as authoritative myth-makers. I then survey the development of mythological comedy throughout the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. The plays' titles reveal common mythical topics as well as a number of comic myths that survived independent of the tragic tradition. In chapter two, I argue that Cratinus' Dionysalexandros and Epicharmus' Odysseus the Deserter are wildly innovative comedies that challenge previous accounts for mythological authority. In chapter three, Epicharmus' Pyrrha and Prometheus, Pherecrates' Antmen, and Cratinus' Wealth Gods are studied to show how comedians created new stories by fusing myths together and by combining myth and historical reality. In chapter four, I look at the affairs of Zeus to show the dramatists' different approaches to the same mythical material. While tragedians tend to focus on the suffering of Zeus' victims, comedians feature Zeus' humorously outlandish and usually harmless seductions. In chapter five, on the Amphitruo, I show how Plautus has transformed a myth about the birth of Heracles into a story about Jupiter's long-term affair with a pregnant woman. In chapter six, I enter the debate about comedy's influence on tragedy and argue that mythical variants invented by the comic poet Cratinus have been incorporated into Euripides' Trojan Women and Helen, which demonstrates that, as early as the fifth century, comic poets were seen as mythological authorities.

▼ This thesis examines the visual production of the New Atheist Movement in the Blogosphere. I argue that the images of New Atheism use
burlesque and carnivalesque as rhetorical strategies. In the public sphere, New Atheist movement use
burlesque images to criticize the majority religion in the U.S. by critiquing the power dynamic between religion and humanity. The atheists also criticize the contemporary relevance of religious attitudes and offer an alternative perspective focusing on human empowerment, science, and technology. Meanwhile, the carnivalesque images function to uncover the problematic social discourse from the atheistic point of view and the alternative perspectives offered by atheism. The carnivalesque approach helps to smooth the promotion of the atheists' main premise, challenge the dominant premise, and desanctify hierarchy through laughter. The analysis on this paper is not only identifying
burlesque and carnivalesque strategies of images in the blogosphere, but also to contribute to the understanding of how symbols function in religious discourse in the U.S. I conclude the project by examining that in atheists' (digital) enclaves, they build their subaltern identity and then expand into the broader public sphere, seeking points of connection between themselves and theists.

▼ This project investigates volatile portrayals of rape and sexualized violence in gorelesque performances by Vancouver-based troupe Bloody Betty and the Deadly Sins, as well as the digital YouTube archive that preserves those performances. Through examining how both the work of Bloody Betty and the manner in which that work is preserved maintain mutually exclusive contradictions, this project offers performance scholars a feminist theoretical framework for approaching similarly volatile contradictions in Fourth Wave feminist aesthetics and the online archive. This project proposes that both those objects of study require a feminist reconsideration of the gaze (live and online) that does not neutralize the volatility of sexual objectification, but rather accepts its inevitability in service of more effective feminist praxis.

▼ The Gurlesque describes an emerging field of female poets and who, taking a page form the burlesque, perform their femininity in a campy or overtly mocking way. Their work assaults the norms of acceptable female behavior by irreverently
deploying gender stereotypes to subversive ends. The critical portion of this dissertation outlines several theoretical tangents germane to Gurlesque poetics:, namely burlesque and camp, “girly kitsch,” and the female grotesque; the poetry manuscript
that follows, Maximum Gaga, is a prime example of the latter.
Subjects/Keywords: Poetry; poetics; creative writing; Gurlesque; avant-garde; burlesque; camp; kitsch; grotesque

▼ Womanifesto is a kaleidoscopic conversion of multiple woman hoods into a singular performance based entity, Betty Grumble. My research poesies tracks the cacophony of my theoretical and conceptual evidence and inspiration as I ask the central question of: How I might go from Shaman to Showoman? Addressing women, sexuality, power and violence my work womanifests through two bodies; the private body of Emma Maye and the public body of Betty Grumble. Betty Grumble is my performative avatar, surreal showgirl, obscene beauty queen and sex clown. She is the canvas for my practice-based research as I inhabit and explode the genres of
burlesque and cabaret, performance art and drag. I aim to locate her ethos within feminist performance histories, by mapping her experimentation with and exploration of, her own corporeality. Betty Grumble perforates the boundaries of hetero-normativity’s matrix by displaying her other body through a grotesque and abject burlesquing of the status quo and the expectations and assumptions it demands of and projects onto the body of woman. By using Betty Grumble as a transmitter of facts, stories and experiences I conceptually Frankenstein her by deconstructing and reassembling the parts that make up her extraordinary avatar whole. My research unpacks her as showoman/shawoman and feminist/sex clown. This text frames my practice as a type of Trojan horse; smuggling corrosive content into a myriad of performative landscapes that critically links the exploitation of the Earth to the exploitation of the woman body. I prescribe sacred satire as a healing balm for the societal body. Betty Grumble is the voice rattling the bars of conformity’s cage. Her refusal to be second and by love fucking with anger Bett pushes back against a capitalist consumption of not only her woman body but also the whole Earth.

Burlesque dance as a form of expression of individuality and female empowerment, being the costume, the result of sign elements of glamor, fetish and deconstruction, the vehicle through which this individuality is expressed. The objective of this research will be to understand the role of Burlesque in the woman's self-affirmation process, and the importance of the costume in the characterization of the female individuality, an idea that will be proven through the analysis of the characters (as well as their
numbers and costumes) created by the Burlesque dancers of the São Paulo’s art scene. The analyzes will be carried out based on Peirce semiotics using the repertoire acquired throughout the initial chapters, which have as their theme the pillars of the development of Burlesque - History, Glamor, Fetish and Deconstruction. Concluding that the Neoburlesque as a source of generalized diversity proposes new definitions of the feminine, and the costume is a constitutive vector of this identity
A dança Burlesca como forma de expressão da individualidade e empoderamento feminino, sendo o figurino - fruto de elementos sígnicos do glamour, fetiche e desconstrução - o veículo pelo qual essa individualidade se expressa. O objetivo dessa pesquisa será compreender o papel do Burlesco no processo de autoafirmação da mulher, e a importância do figurino na caracterização do individual feminino, ideia que será comprovada através das análises das personagens (bem como seus números e figurinos)
criadas pelas dançarinas Burlescas da cena Paulistana. As análises serão realizadas com base na semiótica Peirciana usando do repertório adquirido ao longo dos capítulos iniciais, que possuem como tema os pilares do desenvolvimento do Burlesco – História, Glamour, Fetiche e Desconstrução. Concluindo que o Neoburlesco como fonte de diversidade generalizada propõe novas definições do feminino, e o figurino é vetor constitutivo dessa identidade

▼ Cette étude propose de questionner les correspondances entre l’architecture apparente ou non des premiers romans de Marcel Aymé (1902-1967) et la présence des nombreux « faits d’oralité » à l’œuvre ou mis en œuvre. L’approche ethnocritique de ces récits permet de croiser une poétique du romanesque et une anthropologie du symbolique. Nous nous appuyons tout d’abord sur la théorie du « roman parlant » liée à l’entre-deux guerres, période même de l’arrivée de Marcel Aymé dans le champ littéraire. Nous cartographions ensuite la présence et la conscience de la raison graphique en observant les jeux et enjeux d’une écriture composite. En effet, nous percevons à la fois les échos intertextuels avec la littérature classique mais aussi un intérêt pour d’autres formes de langages littéraires et cinématographiques. L’attention particulière à la voix narrative, le recours au burlesque et à l’ironie participent à la compréhension des choix esthétiques du jeune romancier et au style culturel de ces romans. Au centre de cette analyse, les personnages sont interrogés dans leur quête d’identité et dans leurs façons d’être en prise avec des systèmes étatiques et sociaux qui se concrétisent en particulier dans l’état-civil. Le rapport à l’image et la puissance de la numératie complètent la dynamique complexe de cette recherche identitaire. Voix publiques ou privées, singulières ou collectives, sonnantes ou dissonantes se font entendre dans la narration et sont examinées alors comme témoins des tensions culturelles internes aux communautés représentées. Une dernière partie lit les belligérances et/ ou les coalescences de l’habitus littératien et des oralités vivaces telles qu’elles apparaissent dans les romans de notre corpus (Brûlebois, Aller retour, La Table-aux-Crevés). Cette étude se veut aussi ouverte sur le monde ayméen dans son ensemble, attentive aux passerelles entre toutes les publications de l’auteur des articles de presse aux pièces de théâtre.
This study proposes to examine the relationship between the visible or non-visible structure of the first novels by Marcel Aymé (1902-1967) and the presence of numerous aspects of orality in the novels. An ethnocritical approach to these narratives makes it possible to combine a poetics of the novel with an anthropology of symbols. We base our study first of all on a theory of the “talking novel” (“roman parlant”) related to the period between the two world wars, which corresponds to the period when Marcel Aymé began publishing his work. Then we trace the presence and awareness of writing (as opposed to orality) through an examination of the stylistic effects of what could be called a composite form of writing and the role of these effects in the overall strategy of the author. In effect, we perceive intertextual echoes of the classics but also an interest in new forms of literary and cinematographic expression. The particular attention to narrative voice, but also the presence of the burlesque and of irony, are elements that help one to understand the aesthetic choices of the…

▼ L'expression poétique semble inhérente au théâtre classique. Pourtant, les pièces de la seconde moitié du XVIIe siècle, en particulier les tragédies, sont le fruit de principes « réguliers » qui ont cherché à dépoétiser le théâtre et ont largement réussi dans cette entreprise. Pour rendre compte de ce processus, il est nécessaire de retracer l'histoire de la poésie au théâtre depuis la naissance de la tragédie humaniste, au milieu du XVIe siècle, jusqu'à l'instauration de ce que la postérité appellera le classicisme. Il apparaît ainsi que l'élocution lyrique s'est progressivement déplacée au fil du temps du genre tragique vers le genre comique en suivant l'évolution de la poésie lyrique depuis le style sublime de la Pléiade jusqu'à l'expression burlesque de Scarron en passant par la simplicité malherbienne, l'ingéniosité mariniste ou l'enjouement galant. L'expression lyrique glisse ainsi progressivement des chœurs et des discours pathétiques de la tragédie humaniste vers les soupirs, les chansons et les pointes des amants de la tragi-comédie et de la pastorale avant d'être parodiée dans la parlure ridicule des personnages de la comédie burlesque. Parallèlement à ce mouvement, les penseurs réguliers théorisent l'opposition fondamentale du langage poétique et du langage dramatique, rendant ainsi presque impossible le développement d'une tragédie régulière poétique.
Poetical expression seems to be an inherent aspect of classical theatre. However, plays written in the second half of the seventeenth century, particularly the tragedies, were conceived to adhere to regular standards of form which tended towards the removal of poetic expression from theatre and which largely succeeded in doing so. To summarise this process, it is necessary to recount the history of poetic expression in plays from the advent of humanist tragedy in the mid-sixteenth century to the establishment of what would be later called « classicism ». It can then be demonstrated that lyrical elocution shifted over time from tragedy to comedy, following the same evolution as lyrical poetry which evolved from the noble style of the Pleiade all the way to Scarron’s burlesque expression, through the simplicity of Malherbe’s expression, the ingenuity of marinism, or the preciosity of the gallant style. Poetical expression thus progressively shifted from the choirs and pathetic discourses of the humanist tragedy, towards the sighs, songs, and conceits of the lovers of tragi-comedy and pastorales, before being parodied in the ridiculous manner of speech of the characters in burlesque comedy. Simultaneously, theorists of regularity theorised the fundamental opposition between poetic and dramatic language, thus making the development of a regular poetical tragedy nearly impossible.

▼ Felix Vinatieri (1834-1891), an Italian composer, immigrated to the United States in 1859 and eventually settled in Yankton, South Dakota. His service as bandmaster with the Seventh Cavalry under General George Armstrong Custer has led scholars of his music thus far to remain focused solely on his band music. However, also of great interest are his American comic operas; these compositions, dating from 1877 to 1891, are among the earliest surviving operas composed west of the Mississippi. The composer's favorite, The American Volunteer, was to have been presented at the Columbian World's Fair in Chicago in 1893, but plans were abandoned after his death from pneumonia on December 5, 1891. This document has several purposes. The first is to provide a brief biographical sketch of the life of Felix Vinatieri. Second, it will provide an abbreviated development of opera within the United States, specifically focused upon how American
burlesque developed out of proceeding styles and genres. Third, it will provide a closer examination of The American Volunteer, and consider why Vinatieri referred to it as a
burlesque opera. Finally, this document will produce a functional performance edition of three selections from The American Volunteer. These selections will be analyzed and comparisons will be made to the music of Vinatieri's contemporaries. Material for this study comes from a variety of sources. Primary sources were drawn largely from two collections, The Vinatieri Archive at the National Music Museum which held musical manuscripts, newspaper articles, military documents, and other resources; and The Dakota Territorial Museum which contained family accounts, and early history for the Dakota Territories and its residents. The study of Vinatieri's music has revealed a competent composer who, though not innovative in his compositional style, was willing to push boundaries with the content and topics contained in his work. Being one of the earliest operas composed west of the Mississippi River The American Volunteer has historical importance and deserves greater consideration.

Self-Authoring and Performance: Classroom Burlesque as a Strategy for Cultural and Identity Affirmation.

▼ Children in early childhood and elementary classrooms are often marginalized due to a variety of identity markers, which create borders within learning spaces and limit access to social and academic success. Students who face marginalization are frequently subjected to systems that colonize both, bodies and minds. Such systems do not recognize the cultural identities of children and frequently misinterpret resistance to normalization and assimilation as discipline problems. Teachers exacerbate the problem because they teach from their own points of view and fail to understand the differences that exist between them and their students. Thus, when children perform their cultural identities, teachers often perceive difference as deviance.
This study employed the theoretical frameworks of Postcolonial Theory and Border Theory. Additionally,
burlesque, applied as symbolic frame, served as a metaphor for the subversive performances by students as they transgressed borders that negatively constructed and marginalized them. The study explored the strategies implemented by the
burlesque community that have transgressed traditional social boundaries – rooted in racism, classism, and sexism – and which have served to establish a carefully cultivated and maintained community of acceptance.
Results from the study revealed several strategies that could easily be modified for use in schools. Namely, the
burlesque community functions as a collective, they work collaboratively, address issues as they arise, they provide adequate support for community members as needed, they are intentional about meeting community needs, and they are authentic and accessible. Similar use of these steps and strategies in schools could minimize borders and boundaries, and thus transform learning spaces so children are allowed authentic expression of identity, and classroom communities of acceptance are created. Further, results from the deconstructive analysis of several texts showed six themes of disruption employed by the
burlesque community, and also implemented by children; visibility, constraint removal, voice, the returned gaze, spectacle, and pleasure in identity. Results showed that students made active use of these mechanisms to interrupt conventional social norms, and made way for performances that resisted domination and oppression through behaviors that parodied public education, made a mockery of classrooms, resisted conformity and preserved identity.

▼ Declaring
burlesque dead has been a habit of the
twentieth century. Robert C. Allen quoted an 1890s letter from the
first
burlesque star of the American stage, Lydia Thompson in
Horrible Prettiness:
Burlesque and American Culture (1991):
“[B]urlesque as she knew it `has been retired for a time,’ its
glories now `merely memories of the stage.’” In 1931, Bernard Sobel
opined in Burleycue: An Underground History of
Burlesque Days,
“Alas! You will never get a chance to see one of the real
burlesque
shows again. They are gone forever…” In 1938, The Billboard
published an editorial that began, “On every hand the cry is
`
Burlesque is dead.’” In fact,
burlesque had been declared dead so
often that editorials began popping up insisting it could be
revived, as Joe Schoenfeld’s 1943 op-ed in Variety did: “[It] may
be in a state of putrefaction, but it is a lusty and kicking
decomposition.” It is this “lusty and kicking decomposition” which
characterizes the published history of
burlesque. Since its modern
inception in the late nineteenth century, American
burlesque has
both been framed and framed itself within this narrative of
degeneration. This narrative consistently reaffirms that the
burlesque that came before was superior, worthwhile, real, or
legitimate, and that the current state of
burlesque is dire, on the
edge of complete moral and artistic decay. In many ways, this
narrative of perpetual degeneracy is burlesque’s most salient
feature. This dissertation examines the narrative of degeneracy in
American
burlesque between 1935 and 1972, as it permeates popular
culture, impacts the development of the
burlesque circuit, and is
disrupted or re-interrogated by performers who began operating
their own
burlesque theaters, offering a cultural study of the
stripper in popular discourse, the American
burlesque circuit, and
the career of Rose La Rose in the hopes of achieving what cultural
historian John Storey calls “an active undoing."

▼ The concepts of parody and pastiche are oftell employed by leading
theoreticians to offer definitions of the elusive term "Postmodernism". One is
led to conclude that parody and pastiche are direct1y linked to Postmodernism.
This is especially valid in the case of pastiche. Indeed, it appears, therefore,
that the continllous assumption of the appellation "pastiche" in the
Postmodernist discourse could reveal its link to Postmodernism and
Postmodernity in general. While parody and pastiche are not new phenomena,
the question is why, ill our time, these concepts should be so acutely present
in the discourse of literary theory - especially in theoretic contributions on
Postmodernism and/or Postmodernis! texts.
However, an investigation of the studies done on Postmodernist drama/theatre
reveals a distinct lack of reflection about the role of parody and pastiche and
a disturbing absence of publication on the the
subject. This state of affairs reveals
a conspicuous delay in terms of theoretical deliberation when compared to
other investigat1ve practices, i.e. literary criticism and philosophy.
This study, then, is essentially interested in transposing the present emphasis
on parody and pastiche found in contemporary literary theory to Postmodernist
drama/theatre. The final objective of this study is to explore the impact of the
concepts of parody and pastiche on twentieth century drama/theatre and their
possible contribution to a better understanding of the elusive term
"Postmodemist drama/theatre".

▼ In my thesis I explore Terences innovative development of three stock characters: Chaerea, the adulescens amator, Thraso, the miles gloriosus, and Gnatho, the parasitus. In the Eunuchus Terence provides each of these characters with a mythological parallel that reveals the character's inner thoughts, motives, and justifications, as well as their self-perceived position within Roman society. The first chapter traces the development of the figure of the adulescens amator in Roman literature and examines how Terence's incorporation of mythological
burlesque defies dramatic conventions. The second chapter analyzes key dramatic relationships that suggest a parallel to the historical relationship between Rome and her subjugated territories. The miles gloriosus, Thraso, is cast as a socius miles, whereas Gnatho, the parasitus, appears as a ciues miles. My analysis, ultimately, offers an interpretation of how these issues respond and react to contemporary Roman political and military institutions of the second century BCE.

▼ Can a woman remove her clothes knowing about the gaze of the other and still maintain feminist ideals? Can she legitimately use her body to further her feminist and political ideals? I will examine the historical rise, fall, and revival of
burlesque in the United States and how
burlesque has been both reinvented and reinforced by the neo-
burlesque movement. I will also look at public performances by Little Mama's Burly-Q Revue, a queer/ feminist neo-
burlesque troupe residing in Columbia, MO, a Midwestern college town, to show how social activism and feminism can and do line-up with historical
burlesque ideals. By applying the social movements model for assessing cultural forms of entertainment of Rupp and Taylor, an argument for Little Mama's Burly-Q Revue's engagement in social protest could be outlined in terms of contestation, intentionality, and collective identity. It was found that the local troupe did follow the model and that while having stepped away from the origins of
burlesque appears to be a part of the evolution of
burlesque.
