  • SIMPSONS to SOUTH PARK-FILM 4165 (4 Credits) SPRING 2015 Tuesdays 6:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M
    CONTEMPORARY ANIMATION: THE SIMPSONS TO SOUTH PARK-FILM 4165 (4 Credits) SPRING 2015 Tuesdays 6:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M. Social Work 134 Instructor: Steven Pecchia-Bekkum Office Phone: 801-935-9143 E-Mail: [email protected] Office Hours: M-W 3:00 P.M.-5:00 P.M. (FMAB 107C) Course Description: Since it first appeared as a series of short animations on the Tracy Ullman Show (1987), The Simpsons has served as a running commentary on the lives and attitudes of the American people. Its subject matter has touched upon the fabric of American society regarding politics, religion, ethnic identity, disability, sexuality and gender-based issues. Also, this innovative program has delved into the realm of the personal; issues of family, employment, addiction, and death are familiar material found in the program’s narrative. Additionally, The Simpsons has spawned a series of animated programs (South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, Rick and Morty etc.) that have also been instrumental in this reflective look on the world in which we live. The abstraction of animation provides a safe emotional distance from these difficult topics and affords these programs a venue to reflect the true nature of modern American society. Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to provide the intellectual basis for a deeper understanding of The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, and Rick and Morty within the context of the culture that nurtured these animations. The student will, upon successful completion of this course: (1) recognize cultural references within these animations. (2) correlate narratives to the issues about society that are raised.

  • The Futurama Theorem1 Adapted for the Philadelphia Math Teacher’S Circle by Cheryl Grood
    The Futurama Theorem1 adapted for the Philadelphia Math Teacher’s Circle by Cheryl Grood Appetizer: Background: This problem (and its solution) appeared in “The Prisoner of Benda,” which is episode 7.10 of the television show Futurama. The episode’s writer, Ken Keeler, has a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Harvard. (In fact, several of the writers on Futurama hold advanced degrees in mathematics, physics, and computer science!) Keeler discovered/proved this theorem entirely as a means to get the characters out of the complicated situation he had written them into. Ken Keeler won the Writers Guild of America Best Television Writing in Animation award in 2010 for this episode. The setup: Two characters (Professor Farnsworth and Amy) decide to try out their newly- finished “Mind-Switcher” invention on themselves. (“We’re just the people this Mind-Switcher was made for by us!”) A brief montage of hilarity ensues. When they try to switch back, they discover a key flaw in the machine’s design: it will not allow the same pair of bodies to be used in the machine more than once. [clip from show, time stamp 3:33 ! 3:55] The fundamental problem: Is there a way (given the limitations of the machine; ie, no cheating by inventing a better machine!) to restore their minds back to their original bodies? The Amy/Professor pair can never re-enter the machine together, but what if they were able to get one or more unsuspecting stooges to enter the machine? Question: Can all correct mind-body pairings be restored with the help of just one other character? Solution: No.

  • The HBO Documentary SHOWBIZ KIDS Premieres August 11, Exclusively on HBO
    The HBO documentary SHOWBIZ KIDS premieres August 11, exclusively on HBO MIAMI, FL., - SHOWBIZ KIDS, debuting AUGUST 11, offers an unvarnished look at the high risk, high reward business of working as a child actor in the entertainment industry. The film chronicles the personal and professional price of fame and failure on a child. Those who know the industry best, including several successful child actors and two aspiring hopefuls, unpack their own complicated experiences as they reconcile the hardships they’ve faced and sacrifices they’ve made on their way to finding success in show business. The film will be available on HBO and to stream on HBO GO. SHOWBIZ KIDS is written and directed by former child actor Alex Winter (“Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” “Panama Papers”), who relies on the perspectives of many of his peers to explore the complexities of growing up under the glare of Hollywood’s spotlight, refusing to shy away from the more difficult truths about the industry. Winter’s commitment to creating an honest representation of a complicated industry stems from his own childhood in show business, beginning as a child actor on Broadway at the age of ten. "This is a story I’ve been wanting to tell for many years,” said Winter. “Having grown up in the business I've never seen the experiences of a child actor, from their early career through to the transition into adulthood, told from the perspective of those involved. I’m honored that these talented actors trusted me with their very personal stories." Highlighting the shared experiences of prominent former child stars, SHOWBIZ KIDS features a wealth of intimate, revealing interviews with: Henry Thomas, who starred in “E.T.

  • Futurama Comedy and Writers in the Classroom Sarah J
    Klein’s Beer: Futurama Comedy and Writers in the Classroom Sarah J. Greenwald Appalachian State University Introduction Futurama [1] is an animated science fiction comedy with math, science, or programming jokes in almost every television episode. In the same way that history can provide context to mathematics in the classroom, the rich mathematical history of the show’s writers and the stories of their writing motivations can engage students. A combination of comedy references from the show and quotes from the writers is especially effective in helping to alleviate math anxiety and motivate students to learn and connect to mathematics. In this article we will examine numerous Futurama activities for the classroom, including discussions related to the writers and the representation of mathematics in popular culture, as well as activities related to humorous Futurama math references, including computational number theory and geometry. Figure 1: Klein’s Beer [1, 3ACV12 (The Route of All Evil)] Writers and Humor in the Classroom In the course of earning an undergraduate degree in the mathematical sciences, students study a broad range of mathematical techniques and disciplines. The need to master the fundamental skills of mathematics leads in many instances to a perspective in which mathematics exists unconnected to anything else. Students can become so focused on the present that they perceive mathematics as “closed, dead, emotionless, all discovered... [Teachers] can rescue students from the island of mathematics and relocate them on the mainland of life that contains mathematics that is open, alive, full of emotion, and always interesting” [3]. In the same way that real-life applications and technology can help students connect to mathematics, humorous popular culture references and the related history of the writers who create them can also foster connections.
