EFRAIM SICHER Signature of student: ________________ Date: _________ Signature of supervisor: ________________ Date: _________ Signature of chairperson of the committee for graduate studies: _______________ Date: _________ November 2014 Abstract This thesis explores the representation of Jewish characters in contemporary American television comedies in order to determine whether Jews are still depicted stereotypically as emasculate. The thesis compares Jewish and non-Jewish masculinities in American Television sitcom characters in shows airing from the 1990's to the present: Seinfeld, Friends, and The Big Bang Theory. The thesis asks whether there is a difference between the representation of Jews and non-Jews in sitcoms, a genre where most men are mocked for problematic masculinity. The main goal of the thesis is to find out whether old stereotypes regarding Jewish masculinity – the "jew" as weak, diseased, perverted and effeminate – still exist, and how the depiction of Jewish characters relates to the Jews' assimilation and acceptance in America.

  • “Not That There's Anything Wrong with That”: A
    GRAAT issue # 2 – June 2007 “Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That”: A Queer Reading of Seinfeld Charlotte Gould Université Rennes 2 – Haute Bretagne One particular expression seems to spring to mind whenever one evokes the reference to homosexuality in a television series or serial: “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” The phrase appears in an episode of the 1990s American-sitcom- turned-cultural-phenomenon Seinfeld. In “The Outing” (4.57) a young journalist believes Jerry and George to be a gay couple—they bicker in front of her over an unwashed piece of fruit and George reproaches Jerry with not liking his shirt. She writes an article about it which is then taken up by the rest of the national press, and this to the dismay of both characters. Jerry comments thus upon the misunderstanding: “I’ve been outed, I wasn’t even in!” “Not that there’s anything wrong with that” is the leitmotiv of the episode, uttered every time a character denies they are gay or shows amazement at Jerry and George’s outing—though the fact that Jerry is admittedly thin, single, neat and in his late thirties makes the revelation less surprising to his neighbour Kramer. The sentence was introduced in the dialogue after the episode was almost cancelled when the executives at NBC thought it might offend the gay and lesbian communities and was not politically correct enough. Larry Charles, one of the writers of this specific show and a regular contributor to the programme, kept repeating the frightened mantra, which Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld eventually picked up on as a running joke rather than a warning, to great success what’s more, since “The Outing” went on to become a favourite, especially with the gay and lesbian communities, its catchphrase making its way into everyday talk.

It was one of the most popular and influential television shows in the 1990s. TV Guide ranked it as one of the greatest ever. “Seinfeld” was created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. Larry David left the show after the seventh season. Most episodes were set in an apartment in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, but it was was actually filmed in a Los Angeles studio. Jerry’s main costars in the show were Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards. “Seinfeld” was described as “the show about nothing”; it was based around largely inconsequential small things in everyday life. Often, an episode would involve petty rivalries and elaborate schemes to gain advantage over other individuals. The main characters were often selfish and unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something. This was the general theme of the show.

  • Costume Design and Production for O Pioneers!, by Darrah Cloud
    Costume Design and Production for O Pioneers!, by Darrah Cloud THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elisa Dianne Bierschenk Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2010 Master's Examination Committee: Professor Kristine Kearney, Advisor Professor Mark Shanda Professor Jeanine Thompson Copyright by Elisa Dianne Bierschenk 2010 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to document the costume design and costume production process for Darrah Cloud’s O Pioneers!, as produced by the Department of Theatre at The Ohio State University and directed by Associate Professor Jeanine Thompson. The play was presented in the Thurber Theatre at Ohio State, February 25 through March 6, 2010. O Pioneers!, based on the novel of the same name by American writer Willa Cather, tells the story of a community of European immigrants as they settle in Hanover, Nebraska at the turn of the twentieth century. Research and designs for the production were derived from photographs, historical resources and illustrations of immigrants, both in the costumes of their native countries and in American frontier clothing. The scenic design was an abstracted and stylized interpretation of the prairie, necessitating that the costume design be accurate to the time period in order to create a realistic world for this historical drama. ii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Kristine Kearney, for mentoring me during my graduate career. I would like to thank my former professors at Texas Tech University, Melissa Merz and Fred Christoffel, for guiding me as a new designer.
