Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

Outline Go Further, the new film by award-winning documentary filmmaker Ron Mann, explores the idea that the single individual is the key to large-scale transformational change. The film follows actor Woody Harrelson as he takes a small group of friends on a bio-fuelled bus ride down the Pacific Coast Highway. Their goal? To show the people they encounter that there are viable alternatives to our habitual, environmentally destructive behaviors. The travelers include a yoga-teacher, a raw food chef, a hemp-activist, a junk- food addict, and a college student who suspends her life to impulsively hop aboard. We see the hostility these pilgrims encounter, and watch as their ideas are challenged from within and without.

  • "Do I Look Like a Chick?": Men, Women, and Babies on Sitcom Maternity Stories1
    "Do I Look Like a Chick?": Men, Women, and Babies on Sitcom Maternity Stories1 Judy Kutulas On Monday evening, January 19,1953, forty million Americans watched as the very pregnant Lucy Ricardo (7 Love Lucy, 1951-57) emerged from her bedroom to declare that it was time to go to the hospital.2 What followed was a slapstick salute to 1950s gender stereotypes. Lucy, radiant and serene, was left behind in the panic her announcement generated. Husband Ricky had rehearsed the moment, but choked when it actually arrived, spilling her suitcase, losing the phone, and putting her coat on the neighbor. When they reached the hospital, it was dazed Ricky who rode in the wheelchair. The audience modestly bade goodbye to Lucy at the elevator door, thereafter watching Ricky's response to fatherhood. He paced the fathers' waiting room, exchanged comments with the other fathers about the advantages of sons over daughters, and finally fainted at the sight of his son. Fast-forward about forty years to the blended family of Frank Lambert and Carol Foster {Step by Step, 1991-present): Frank and Carol got off to the hospital without a hitch and we didn't say goodbye to Carol at the elevator. Instead, we saw her in labor, cranky and demanding. Frank was there too, inadequate and embarrassed. Their children, meanwhile, paced the waiting room no longer reserved for fathers, girls in blissful smiles and boys looking uncom­ fortable. How long does it take to have a baby, one boy asked another. "How should I know," was the reply, "do I look like a chick?" Two TV birthing stories, forty years apart, reveal some curious changes and continuities.

    Advances in Journalism and Communication 2013. Vol.1, No.1, 1-12 Published Online March 2013 in SciRes (http://www.scirp.org/journal/ajc) http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ajc.2013.11001 Feminism Ain’t Funny: Woman as “Fun-Killer,” Mother as Monster in the American Sitcom Jack Simmons1, Leigh E. Rich2 1Department of Languages, Literature and Philosophy, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, USA 2Department of Health Sciences, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Savannah, USA Email: [email protected] Received February 1st, 2013; revised March 2nd, 2013; accepted March 10th, 2013 Whether America has realized President Herbert Hoover’s 20th-century vision of a “chicken in every pot”, there is a television in nearly every home. Powerful and accessible, television programs, whether explic- itly, convey values and messages to viewers and, thus, can play a role in reifying the status quo or affect- ing social change. Given comedy programming’s roots in radio and Vaudeville, it is no surprise that a re- current theme in situational comedies is the “war between the sexes”. Despite a surfeit of studies ex- amining specific programs, however, there exists no comprehensive project exploring how gender depic- tions have changed since television’s proliferation in post-WWII America. This time span is especially important because it is bisected by second wave feminism. Regarding gender, TV shows need not fortify traditional ideals. But how far has television come? Findings from a pilot study employing a Grounded Theory analysis of selected US sitcoms from 1952 to 2004 suggest that, regardless of the progressive na- ture of some programming, the most-watched sitcoms reaffirm mainstream stereotypes of women.

    ENVIRONMENTALISM ON THE WEB: POLITICAL ACTIVISM IN THE AGE OF NEW MEDIA by DYLAN WOLFE (Under the Direction of Kevin DeLuca) ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of the rhetoric of environmental activism in the communication context of new media. I specifically focus on how the rhetoric of environmental activism operates on the internet. The group of media technologies known as “new media” are characterized by a high volume of cursory message fragments circulating speedily yet detached from a clear distinction between producers and consumers. I propose that in this communication context, circulation of new media texts is rhizomatic, moving on lines of flight rather than clearly delineated pathways. Determining the force of rhetoric requires engagement of textual elements, a surveying of relationships between textual fragments and technological characteristics in a discursive plateau. In this study I offer resonance as a conceptual basis for considering the rhetoric of advocacy in new media communication. Resonance aligns the rhetoric of a text with potential viewers’ experiences in discourse. Resonant elements of a text challenge dominant meaning, seeking to articulate knowledge more favorably to environmentalists. In order to account for the implications of an image-centered communicative circumstance, I also forward image resonance, a counterpart and compliment to resonance. Image resonance aligns with the rhetorical forces at the surface of images with the communicative conditions of the accelerated and surface-oriented world. INDEX

  • New on Video &
    New On Video & DVD The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones Volume Three The Years of Change With well-crafted sto- ries and high-quality production values, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was a rarity on TV when it premiered in 1992. Focusing on preadolescent and teenage versions of the Indian Jones character, the series follows the future archaeologist's adventures as he travels the world, rubbing shoulders with some of history's famed figures. From witnessing the birth of the Middle East to paying his dues in the early days of Tinseltown, the show is gently educational as it charts young Indy intersecting, often dangerously, with historical events. Produced under the watchful eye of creator George Lucas, these seven feature-length episodes chronicle teenage Indiana (Sean Patrick Flanery) getting himself in all sorts of tight situations, and feature guest stars like Anne Heche, Jane Krakowski, and Jeffrey Wright. Disc 1 includes "Tales of Innocence." The bonus features "Unhealed Wounds: the Life of Ernest Hemingway," "The French Foreign Legion: The World's Most Legendary Fighting Force," "The Secret Life of Edith Wharton" and "Lowell Thomas: American Storyteller" are also included. Additional Actors: Clare Higgins, Pernilla August, David Haig, Evan Richards, Roshan Seth, Peter Sullivan, John Turner Disc 2 includes "Masks of Evil." The bonus features "For the People, Despite the People: The Ataturk Revolution," "The Greedy Heart of Halide Edib," "The Ottoman Empire: A World of Difference" and "Dracula: Fact and Fiction" are also included. Additional Actors: Keith Szarabajka, Peter Firth, Sam Kelly, Kevork Malikyan, Bob Peck, Philippe Smolikowski. Disc 3 includes "Treasure of the Peacock's Eye."
