Wilson Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Jaime Schultz Associate Professor of Kinesiology * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Sports is widely regarded as a “spectacle,” an attention-grabbing consumerist distraction from more important elements of social life. Yet this definition underestimates the rhetorical potency of spectacle, as a context in which athletes may participate in projects of social transformation and institutional reform. Sport Spectacle, Athletic Activism, and the Rhetorical Analysis of Mediated Sport engages a set of case studies that assess the rhetorical conditions that empower or sideline athletes in projects of social change.

  • Freedom Writers
    Freedom Writers Kurzbeschreibung Die junge Englischlehrerin Erin Gruwell (Hilary Swank) tritt ihre erste Stelle an: In Klassenzimmer 203 der Wilson High School in Long Beach (Kalifornien) trifft sie auf Schülerinnen und Schüler mit unterschiedlichem kulturellem Hintergrund. Größer als die Feinseligkeiten der in Gangs organisierten jugendlichen Latinos, Asiaten und Afro-Amerikaner untereinander ist nur noch der Hass gegen Schule, Lehrer und das System, das sie bereits als „nichterziehbare Risiko-Schüler“ abgeschrieben hat. So scheitert Erin Gruwell bei ihren Versuchen, die Jugendlichen für ihren Unterricht zu motivieren, täglich aufs Neue und ohne Aussicht auf Fortschritte. Erst als sie eines Tages die rassistische Karikatur einer ihrer Schüler abfängt, entdeckt Gruwell einen Weg, mit ihrer Klasse ins Gespräch zu kommen: Sie lässt alle regulären Schulbücher einsammeln und beginnt stattdessen „Das Tagebuch der Anne Frank“ zu lesen – Stoff, der für diese Gruppe von der Schulbehörde als zu schwierig eingestuft ist. Durch dieses Buch lernen die Schülerinnen und Schüler nach und nach, dass sie ihr scheinbar vorgezeichnetes Leben ändern und ihre Zukunft selbst gestalten können: Die Freedom Writers sind geboren und beginnen mit dem Aufzeichnen ihrer Tagebücher … Das Projekt der Freedom Writers gibt es wirklich: Seit 1994 nimmt eine wachsende Gruppe amerikanischer Schülerinnen und Schüler erfolgreich daran teil. Erin Gruwell arbeitet inzwischen als Gastprofessorin an der California State University, Long Beach. Die Erlöse aus dem Verkauf des Tagebuchs

  • Love After Love a Film by Russell Harbaugh
    Presents Love After Love A Film by Russell Harbaugh Starring Chris O'Dowd, Andie MacDowell, James Adomian, Juliet Rylance, Dree Hemingway 91 min / Color / USA / English Publicity Contacts: BRIGADE / Rob Scheer [email protected] BRIGADE / Guillermo Restrepo [email protected] Sales Contact: ICM / Peter Van Steemburg [email protected] Logline: A glimpse into one family’s romantic, boisterous, messy, emotionally treacherous life over the course of several years, LOVE AFTER LOVE catalogues the reunions and departures of a mother and her two grown sons as they attempt to move forward in the wake of shared tragedy. Synopsis: Suzanne (Andie MacDowell) and Glenn (Gareth Williams) are college theatre professors, enjoying a playful, tempestuous marriage surrounded by students and family. Their two sons are Nicholas (Chris O'Dowd), a successful book editor in a relationship with Rebecca (Juliet Rylance), and Chris (James Adomian), perpetually attempting to find an outlet for his vague, impassioned creativity. When Glenn becomes ill with cancer, the family waits out his last Summer days together. Glenn's eventual death prompts curious, contradictory reactions: Nicholas jettisons his long-term relationship with Rebecca and becomes haphazardly engaged to his father’s student, Emilie (Dree Hemingway); Suzanne, now displaced as mother and wife, begins to see a series of men; Chris lurches forward, careening from failure to failure while pursuing an artistic career. Ill-equipped to attend to their mounting emotional needs, the family finds release in alternatively abhorrent and joyful ways. LOVE AFTER LOVE takes an unblinking look at a family navigating their way forward in the shadow of a shared loss.
