Furthermore, women’s rhetorical contributions are largely overlooked within the field of rhetorical studies. As a rhetorical movement, there is little extant scholarship that analyzes and critiques modern discourse about women’s rights in public address. This analysis looks at Hillary Clinton’s (1995) and Emma Watson’s (2014) speeches on the subject of women’s rights and equality at the United Nations, and the respective use of the feminine style in their discourse. The article attempts to contribute to the field of women’s rhetoric by evaluating and uncovering contemporary rhetorical strategies of women in public address. Using feminist rhetorical scholarship will allow both a critique of the arguments used by Clinton and Watson to advance feminist goals and issues regarding white, privileged women speaking on behalf of the people they attempt to help. A recent NPR article, published on February 14th of this year, highlights another side to Valentine’s Day of which many might be unaware: “V-Day, the international day of ending violence against women and girls” (Poon). This day of activism, started by Eve Ensler, the creator of the Vagina Monologues, focuses in on the abuse and discrimination women face on a global scale. According to data compiled by The World Bank Group online, from 2010-2014 women in the United States made up 50 percent of our population. Globally, with few exceptions, women’s populations ranged from 49-53% in each country (Population, Female). Despite the fact that women are an almost equal part or in many cases the majority of a country’s population, women do not enjoy the same representation of power and equality within the private or public sphere. Poon’s article goes on to emphasiZe the many laws around the world that classify women as second-class citizens in their respective countries. From Yemen, where a husband “has the right to be obeyed by his wife in the interest of the family…she must permit him to have legitimate intercourse with her when she is fit to do so” (Poon), to Nigeria, where it is legal to hit your wife for 2 J. Matos the purpose of “correcting” her, to Russia, where women are forbidden from doing more than 450 types of jobs, women of the world still, clearly, face a long and unique challenge for equality. The struggle for women to be given the same basic human rights that have been afforded to men for centuries is certainly not a new pursuit but is still a very real struggle in the year 2015. From the decades-long struggle to gain voting rights to equal pay in the workforce, from domestic violence to access to education, women the world over have been overlooked ad nauseam. While the women’s liberation movement within the United States has done much to improve the conditions of and move us closer towards equality for women, this movement benefits a select few. As bell hooks notes in her book, Feminist Theory, when a child is born to a white couple the “factor deemed most important is gender,” but for a couple of color, there are multiple factors that impact the future of a child, not just gender, but race and class (12). Furthermore, hooks observes that the women’s liberation movement primarily benefited and improved the conditions of mostly white, privileged women. Achieving not only national but global equality for women is a complex mission. For to achieve this end requires us to recogniZe that forward progress is not just about gender, but socio-economic, ethnic, and political factors as well. Using rhetoric to promote the advancement of the feminist cause is not only imperative to global stability. It must also be carefully examined for its inclusivity, going beyond benefiting a select few and bringing attention to the globe's most vulnerable populations of women. Many historical figures have used their notoriety and public platform to take on the difficult task of bringing awareness and advocating change of these issues through public address. Two notable speeches in the last two decades come to mind: Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 1995 address “Women’s Rights are Human Rights” to the United Nations in Beijing, China and, more recently, Emma Watson’s 2014 address on gender equality, also at the United Nations. These two speeches are the focus of this essay for several reasons. First, these speeches have been widely established by mass media as exemplars of women's rights rhetoric and within the broader category of public address. Secondly, both addresses were given at the launch of two major gender equality campaigns. Clinton’s speech launched the United Nations “Millennium Goals” and Watson’s speech launched the United Nations “HeForShe” campaign. Both of these speeches and subsequent campaigns have had a great impact on gender equality whether it be helping women around the world with basic safety and educational needs as was and is the case with Clinton’s call to action, Women’s Rights in Public Address 3 or, in Watson’s case, engaging young men and women in conversations about and advocacy of gender equality. Third, these speeches are nearly twenty years apart but both speakers are representative of the primary benefactors from women's liberation movement of the 1960s and 70s (white, middle/upper-class) that many scholars challenge for its lack of inclusivity. While both speakers have certainly experienced discrimination for being women, they have not had to experience the intersectional challenges that befall women of different races and socioeconomic backgrounds. For these reasons, Clinton and Watson constitute excellent sites for comparing, contrasting, and critiquing the rhetorical style and arguments of these two speeches. The UN World Conference on Women, held in 1995 where Clinton delivered her address, is mentioned in this same NPR article written by Poon. In it, the author references the more than two-hundred countries that gathered and coordinated to end sexist laws still in existence. Additionally, at this same conference, the UN made gender equality one of their many “Millennium Goals” (Poon). However, both the article and a quick look at the United Nations’ online progress towards this goal shows us that while some headway has been effected in the last twenty years since this pledge was made, there is still much work to be done. As Poon’s article stresses, sexist, dangerous, and oppressive laws are very much a reality fifteen years into the millennium. These two speeches, given by Clinton and Watson almost two decades apart, highlight a continued need to encourage devotion to and discourse about the human rights of women around the globe. Hillary Clinton has devoted her time and position to campaigning for women’s rights. She has been consistently polariZed by the media, at times praised and at others punished for her perceived masculine and aggressive approach. Emma Watson, also an advocate for women’s equality as the face of the HeForShe campaign, has been largely commended within the media for her work, but also not without punishment.

  • Animating Race the Production and Ascription of Asian-Ness in the Animation of Avatar: the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra
    Animating Race The Production and Ascription of Asian-ness in the Animation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra Francis M. Agnoli Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies April 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract How and by what means is race ascribed to an animated body? My thesis addresses this question by reconstructing the production narratives around the Nickelodeon television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-08) and its sequel The Legend of Korra (2012-14). Through original and preexisting interviews, I determine how the ascription of race occurs at every stage of production. To do so, I triangulate theories related to race as a social construct, using a definition composed by sociologists Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer; re-presentations of the body in animation, drawing upon art historian Nicholas Mirzoeff’s concept of the bodyscape; and the cinematic voice as described by film scholars Rick Altman, Mary Ann Doane, Michel Chion, and Gianluca Sergi. Even production processes not directly related to character design, animation, or performance contribute to the ascription of race. Therefore, this thesis also references writings on culture, such as those on cultural appropriation, cultural flow/traffic, and transculturation; fantasy, an impulse to break away from mimesis; and realist animation conventions, which relates to Paul Wells’ concept of hyper-realism.

  • 2D Animation Software You’Ll Ever Need
    The 5 Types of Animation – A Beginner’s Guide What Is This Guide About? The purpose of this guide is to, well, guide you through the intricacies of becoming an animator. This guide is not about leaning how to animate, but only to breakdown the five different types (or genres) of animation available to you, and what you’ll need to start animating. Best software, best schools, and more. Styles covered: 1. Traditional animation 2. 2D Vector based animation 3. 3D computer animation 4. Motion graphics 5. Stop motion I hope that reading this will push you to take the first step in pursuing your dream of making animation. No more excuses. All you need to know is right here. Traditional Animator (2D, Cel, Hand Drawn) Traditional animation, sometimes referred to as cel animation, is one of the older forms of animation, in it the animator draws every frame to create the animation sequence. Just like they used to do in the old days of Disney. If you’ve ever had one of those flip-books when you were a kid, you’ll know what I mean. Sequential drawings screened quickly one after another create the illusion of movement. “There’s always room out there for the hand-drawn image. I personally like the imperfection of hand drawing as opposed to the slick look of computer animation.”Matt Groening About Traditional Animation In traditional animation, animators will draw images on a transparent piece of paper fitted on a peg using a colored pencil, one frame at the time. Animators will usually do test animations with very rough characters to see how many frames they would need to draw for the action to be properly perceived.

  • The West Wing
    38/ Pere Antoni Pons The everydayness of power The West Wing If the effect is the same as what happens with me, after seeing any average-quality chapter of The West Wing (1999-2006) the reader-spectator will think he or she is witnessing an incontrovertible landmark in the latest phase of audiovisual narrative. After viewing one of the more dazzling, memorable episodes, he or she will not hesitate to believe that this is to behold one of the major, most perfect intellectual and artistic events of the early twenty-first century, comparable —not only in creative virtuosity but also in meaning, magnitude and scope— with Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, Shakespeare’s tragedies, Balzac’s The Human Comedy, or the complete recordings of Bob Dylan. Over the top? Even with more rotund words, it would be no exaggeration. Nowadays, nobody can ignore the fact that a colossal explosion in quality has happened over the last decade in the universe of American TV series. The old idea according to which the hapless professionals —scriptwriters, actors and directors— the ones who lack the luck or talent to carve out a niche in Hollywood or to triumph in the world of cinema, have to work in television has now been so thoroughly debunked that it even seems to have been turned on its head. Thanks to titles like The Sopranos, Capo 35 Ample front (Capo 35 Broad forehead), Miquel Barceló (2009). Ceramic, 22,5 x 19 x 25 cm 39 40/41 II The everydayness of power: The West Wing Pere Antoni Pons Lost, and The Wire, no one doubts any more that TV series can be as well filmed, as well written and as well acted as any masterpiece of the big screen.

  • Playing the House of Cards Game: How Political TV Series Increase Cynicism
    Playing the House of Cards game: How political TV series increase cynicism Alexandra Manoliu Not to be cited Abstract In this article I propose a potential explanation for why political TV series (non-news media) may have an impact on people's opinions, especially on political cynicism. People may watch political series for entertainment, but unconsciously they make comparisons to real life events and individuals, which will affect their beliefs. Based on data gathered from an experiment including two of the most popular series of this kind, results seem to show asymmetric effects: people perceive this genre depending on their content. They attach a much higher degree of realism to characters and events portrayed in a negative series (House of Cards) than to those portrayed in a more positive way (The West Wing). Results also indicate that people are more influenced in their cynical opinions by the negative events than the negative characters. 1.1. Political cynicism "Researchers concur that Americans grow more cynical with every new generation" (Pompper 2003: 17) and this cynicism also known as "political malaise" is frequently associated with the media. Political cynicism refers to a lack of confidence, disapproval of politicians and politics (Erber & Lau 1990), to failed expectations citizens experience with politics (Miller 1974) or even a general feeling of mistrust towards politics which tends to "corrupt" the people who participate at it (Cappella & Jamieson 1997). The media is considered to be a factor in analyzing political cynicism, although it falls in the middle of a debate about its role and impact. On one side there are scholars warning about the existence of a "spiral of cynicism" (Cappella & Jamieson 1997), and the language the media adopts to talk about politics and politicians which uses strategic frames and emphasizes a negative tone, with war and sport metaphores (Ansolabehere & Iyengar 1995) has a negative impact on people's perceptions about politics.
