Dabney, Melina Kristine (BA/MA Film Studies) Re-mixing Old Character Tropes on Screen: Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and the New Femininity Thesis directed by Professor Melinda Barlow While there is a substantial amount of scholarship on the depiction of African American women in film and television, this thesis exposes the new formations of African American femininity on screen. African American women have consistently resisted, challenged, submitted to, and remixed racial myths and sexual stereotypes existing in American cinema and television programming. Mainstream film and television practices significantly contribute to the reinforcement of old stereotypes in contemporary black women characters. However, based on the efforts of African American producers like Shonda Rhimes, who has attempted to insert more realistic renderings of African American women in her recent television shows, black women’s representation is undergoing yet another shift in contemporary media.

    Exclusive Topics for JAPAN AUTUMN INTERNATIONAL 2017 - 1st Edition - September 2017 The Japan Racing Association Welcome back to our annual series of newsletters leading up to the 2017 Japan Cup (G1, 2,400m). The fall racing season is heading towards the Japan Autumn International Series, which will be held over four weekends between November 12 and December 3, consisting of four prestigious G1 races: the Queen Elizabeth II Cup (G1, 2,200m), the Mile Championship (G1, 1,600m), the Japan Cup and the Champions Cup (G1, dirt, 1,800m). Total prize money for the four G1 events will amount to around ¥1.28 billion (about US$11.1m), with additional bonuses for winners of designated overseas G1 events who run in the Japan Cup. Bonuses will also be provided for winners of designated overseas G1 events who finish within the top three in the QEII, Mile Championship and Champions Cup. Kitasan Black Aims for Consecutive Japan Cup Victory Kitasan Black (JPN, H5, by Black Tide) put in a brilliant performance under Yutaka Take in the Japan Cup last year, taking command from the start and did not give his rivals a chance to challenge as he continued strongly to the wire, leaving runner-up Sounds of Earth (JPN, H6, by Neo Universe) 2-1/2 lengths behind. All 14 Japanese horses that ran in the race last year are still in training as of the end of August and are considered ready to stake their claim to the Japan Cup title again this year. The following are updates on last year’s top finishers, up-and-coming three-year-olds and prominent older horses.
