The Academic Review and Planning Advisory Committee (ARPAC) conducts and writes the final reviews of all academic units on the Boulder campus. The unit prepared a self-study, which was reviewed by an internal review committee (IRC) of two CU Boulder faculty members from outside of the program. The internal reviewers certified that the self-study was largely accurate and complete, noting that there were some optional questions that it might be helpful to answer, which the unit has done. The IRC also conducted undergraduate and graduate surveys and met privately with two undergraduate students. An external review committee (ERC), consisting of two experts within the discipline from outside of the University of Colorado, visited the unit on April 12 and 13, 2016, reviewed the relevant documents, and met with the program director, one associate professor, three assistant professors, some graduate students, university administrators, and members of ARPAC. A meeting scheduled with undergraduates drew no attendees. The reviewers’ comments and recommendations are cited at the appropriate points throughout the report. This public document reflects the assessments and recommendations for the Film Studies Program approved by ARPAC.

Que ce soit dans sa production, sa création ou sa réception, l’évolution rapide des technologies numériques et l’apparition des nouveaux médias ont contraint l’industrie télévisuelle à changer, parfois contre son gré. C’est le cas de la chaîne généraliste américaine NBC, pour qui cette période de transition a été particulièrement difficile à traverser. Au cœur de ce moment charnière dans l’histoire de la télévision aux États-Unis, la sitcom Community (NBC, 2009- 2014; Yahoo!Screen, 2015) incarne et témoigne bien de différentes transformations amenées par cette convergence entre Internet et la télévision et des conséquences de cette dernière dans l’industrie télévisuelle. L’observation du parcours tumultueux de la comédie de situation ayant débuté sur les ondes de NBC dans le cadre de sa programmation Must-See TV, entre 2009 et 2014, avant de se terminer sur le service par contournement Yahoo! Screen, en 2015, permet de constater que Community est un objet télévisuel qui a constamment cherché à s’adapter à un média en pleine mutation.

  • La Posmodernidad Analiza La Sitcom: Community
    La Posmodernidad Analiza la Sitcom: Community Autor /a: Jaime Costas Nicolás Profesor/a: Iván Pintor Encrucijadas contemporáneas entre cine, televisión y cómic, primer trimestre, 2013-2014 Facultat de Comunicación Universitat Pompeu Fabra Resum / Resumen: Mucho se ha escrito sobre la relación entre posmodernismo y la sitcom Community. En el presente ensayo, a través del análisis de dos de sus episodios, no sólo se constata esta relación sino que se postula que en el centro argumental de la serie y en los engranajes que la hacen funcionar se encuentra la propia idea de posmodernismo y las diversas técnicas que han identificado este movimiento cultural. Paraules clau / Palabras clave: · Posmodernismo Community intertextualidad metaficción Abstract: Much has been written about the relationship between the situational comedy Community and postmodernism. In this essay, through the analysis of two of its episodes, we not only reassure this connection but we also argue that the narrative center of the show and the engines that make it move forward are the idea of postmodernism itself and the different techniques that have defined this cultural movement. Keywords: Postmodernism Community intertextuality metafiction La posmodernidad analiza la sitcom: Community En esta última década, la ficción televisiva está viviendo uno de sus mejores momentos en cuanto a calidad y variedad, gracias a una mayor complejidad narrativa o el uso de nuevas formas y géneros. Ya en los años noventa nos encontramos con los primeros indicios de esta explosión cualitativa, de ahí el nombre Quality TV, que vendría más adelante, con ficciones como la lynchiana Twin Peaks (1990 - 1991) o el archiconocido caso de la comedia que no trataba sobre nada, Seinfeld (1989 - 1998).

  • It Reveals Who I Really Am”: New Metaphors, Symbols, and Motifs in Representations of Autism Spectrum Disorders in Popular Culture
    “IT REVEALS WHO I REALLY AM”: NEW METAPHORS, SYMBOLS, AND MOTIFS IN REPRESENTATIONS OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN POPULAR CULTURE By Summer Joy O’Neal A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Angela Hague, Chair Dr. David Lavery Dr. Robert Petersen Copyright © 2013 Summer Joy O’Neal ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There simply is not enough thanks to thank my family, my faithful parents, T. Brian and Pamela O’Neal, and my understanding sisters, Auburn and Taffeta, for their lifelong support; without their love, belief in my strengths, patience with my struggles, and encouragement, I would not be in this position today. I am forever grateful to my wonderful director, Dr. Angela Hague, whose commitment to this project went above and beyond what I deserved to expect. To the rest of my committee, Dr. David Lavery and Dr. Robert Petersen, for their seasoned advice and willingness to participate, I am also indebted. Beyond these, I would like to recognize some “unofficial” members of my committee, including Dr. Elyce Helford, Dr. Alicia Broderick, Ari Ne’eman, Chris Foss, and Melanie Yergau, who graciously offered me necessary guidance and insightful advice for this project, particularly in the field of Disability Studies. Yet most of all, Ephesians 3.20-21. iii ABSTRACT Autism has been sensationalized by the media because of the disorder’s purported prevalence: Diagnoses of this condition that was traditionally considered to be quite rare have radically increased in recent years, and an analogous fascination with autism has emerged in the field of popular culture.

  • LGBTQIA+ Student Identity and Introductory Film Studies Curriculum
    O’BRIEN, STEPHANIE P., Ph.D. The Kids are not all Right: LGBTQIA+ Student Identity and Introductory Film Studies Curriculum. (2020) Directed by Dr. Leila Villaverde. 239 pp. In attempting to address a broad range of students, introductory film studies curriculum serves to reinforce the marginalization of certain student identities that do not conform to hegemonic ideals reinforced through traditional, canonical analysis. In this study, I argue that marginalized students perform José Esteban Muñoz’s disidentification as a way to move through the traditional curriculum. Through a multi-method approach that includes content analysis, critical discourse analysis, and comparative analysis, this dissertation considers the organizational structure, language, and examples used in five mass-market, introductory film studies textbooks. The study revealed four cartographic rules of knowledge construction that guide introductory film studies curriculum. These cartographic rules illuminate how traditional, canonical, introductory film studies curriculum privileges western, white, patriarchal, heteronormative ideologies within critical film literacy. A reconsideration of the traditional, canonical approach is needed in order to provide a more inclusive and interdisciplinary curriculum. I posit a revision of the traditional, canonical view that, rather than privileging the filmmaker and filmic text as eminent maker of meaning, focuses instead on individual student meaning-making. Lastly, I provide examples, readings, and activities that move toward a more inclusive, student-centered curriculum.

  • Interdisciplinary Majors Under Faculty Guidance
    Interdisciplinary Bachelor’s Majors Degree with Individual Concentration (BDIC) Degrees: Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Science Contact: Prof. José Ornelas, Director; Linda Roney, Coordinator Office: 608 Goodell Phone: 545-2504 Faculty Supervisors: Alexandrina Deschamps (Women’s Studies), Henry Geddes (Commu- nication), Gino Sorcinelli (Accounting), Paula Stamps (Public Health), Nikki Stoia (Music). The Major BDIC is a degree-granting program that offers motivated and self-directed students the op- portunity to design their own interdisciplinary majors under faculty guidance. The Program allows students to pursue their educational goals in areas not available within an existing depart- mental curriculum or traditional major on the campus. Each student’s program of study (the “concentration”) is developed with the advice and approval of a faculty sponsor (chosen by the student) and a BDIC faculty supervisor. Students confer with these faculty members on a regular basis as they progress through and continue to develop their programs. BDIC concentrations are interdisciplinary, drawing upon at least two departments, and integrating approaches and knowledge from at least two disciplines. In planning their concen- trations, students are encouraged not only to select courses from two or more departments or schools within the University, but also to draw upon the resources of the Five College consor- tium. BDIC majors frequently undertake inde- pendent study or field experience learning; study abroad is encouraged where relevant. Each concentration is developed to span four semesters (usually the junior and senior years). BDIC majors earn either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. (For the B.S., 60 credits are required in courses from the sciences and mathematics.) The student’s tran- script records the area of concentration.
