Inhaltsverzeichnis Allgemeine Informationen 1 Allgemeine Informationen 1.1 Status 1.2 Erster Auftritt Status 1.3 Letzter Auftritt Am leben 1.4 Staffeln 2 Biographie Erster Auftritt 3x01 Letzter Auftritt 9x12 Staffeln 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Biographie Bevor Chloe O’Brien zur CTU nach Los Angeles versetzt wurde, war sie in der Dienststelle Washington D.C. angestellt. Chloe war mit Morris O‘Brian verheiratet, ließ sich jedoch scheiden, unter anderem wegen seiner Alkoholsucht. Als Chloe an Day 3 zur CTU Los Angeles versetzt wurde, fand sie heraus, dass Jack Bauer Heroinsüchtig ist und informiert Michelle Dessler. Außerdem muss sie einige Stunden auf die Tochter von Chase Edmunds aufpassen. 18 Monate später (Day 4) wird Chloe von Erin Driscoll entlassen, da sie Jack Bauer geholfen hat und ihre Vorgesetzten nicht informierte. Michelle Dessler stellte Chloe aber einige Stunden später wieder ein. Am Ende des Tages half Chloe Michelle und Tony Almeida den Tod von Jack vorzutäuschen und hielt im Laufe der Jahre auch Kontakt zu ihm (Season 5 Prequel). Außerdem ging sie eine kurze Affäre mit dem CTU Agenten Spencer Wolff ein. Als auf David Palmer, Tony Almeida und Michelle Dessler Mordanschläge verübt werden, befindet sich auch Chloe in Lebensgefahr. Nur durch das Auftauchen von Jack kann Chloe auch einem Anschlag entgehen. [Day 5] Im Laufe des Tages muss Chloe mit ansehen, wie ihr Kollege und Freund Edgar Stiles an Sentox Nervengas stirbt. Chloe kann sich nur schwer wieder auf ihre Arbeit konzentrieren, schafft es aber viele Menschen zu retten. Dies nicht zuletzt durch die Hilfe ihres Ex-Mannes Morris O'Brian, den sie in die CTU gebeten hatte. Einige Jahre später ging Chloe eine neue Beziehung zu ihrem Ex-Mann Morris ein, der inzwischen auch als Analytiker in der CTU arbeitet. [Day 6] Da auch Chloes Ex-Freund Milo Pressman in der CTU arbeitete, gab es einige Konflikte zwischen den beiden. Das stellt sie aber zurück, um unter anderem Jack zu helfen einen Anschlag in den USA zu verhindern. Bei den Ereignissen in diesem Einsatz stirbt Milo Pressman. Chloe kann die Anschläge schließlich zusammen mit Jack verhindern, indem sie sich in den Computer von Morris hackt und auf seine Daten zugreift. Morris beendet die Beziehung zunächst, aber kehrt zu Chloe zurück, als er herausfindet, dass Chloe schwanger ist. Die CTU wird nach diesen Ereignissen geschlossen. Chloe schließt sich daher einer geheimen und inoffiziellen Operation von Bill Buchanan in Washington an. [Day 7] Zu der Operation gehören auch Tony Almeida und später Jack Bauer. Terroristen um Benjamin Juma sind in Besitz eines Gerätes um zugriff auf Linienflugzeuge zu nehmen und lassen schließlich eines abstürzen. Außerdem planen sie einen Angriff auf das Weiße Haus. Bei dem Einsatz wird Bill Buchanan jedoch getötet, als er sich für Präsidentin Allison Taylor opfert. Im Laufe der Ermittlungen reaktiviert Chloe die alten CTU Server beim FBI in Washington. Damit schafft unter anderem sie es die Kreise abzuwenden. Sie, Morris und ihr Sohn Prescott O'Brian verlassen nach den Ereignissen die Stadt. Chloe findet einen Job bei der neu gegründeten CTU in New York. Sie arbeitet dort zunächst unter Brian Haistings und erlebt, wie eine EMP in der CTU gezündet wird. [Day 8] Sie trägt dazu bei die CTU wieder aufzubauen und einsatzfähig zu machen. Durch ihre herausragenden Leistungen wird sie vom Berater der Präsidentin, Tim Woods, in das Amt der Leiterin der CTU New York befördert. Dabei hilft sie Jack Bauer nach der Abwendung einer nuklearen Katastrophe in New York, aus der Stadt zu fliehen, weil die USA und Russland seine Festnahme fordern. Nach den Ereignissen wird Sie vom FBI aufgesucht. [Chloe's Arrest] Sie wird von den Agenten vor den Augen von Morris und Prescott festgenommen, weil man vermutet, sie weiß, wo Jack ist.

Oesterle* I. INTRODUCTION From the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) until the recent subprime financial crisis, the nation witnessed a remarkable growth in “going-private” acquisitions.1 As a percentage of total acquisitions, the purchase of publicly-held companies by privately-held companies jumped approximately twenty points.2 Scholars, with some notable exceptions,3 point to the increased compliance costs of SOX as a significant cause of the 4 change. * Professor and J.

  • Delineating Boundaries Between 'Us' and 'Them'
    Delineating boundaries between 'us' and 'them' $UHFHSWLRQVWXG\RIWKHUHSUHVHQWDWLRQRI Muslim characters in the television serial 24 5ROI+DOVH Dissertation for the degree philosophiae doctor (PhD) at the University of Bergen Abstract This thesis presents an examination of the US television serial 24’s representation of Muslim characters, and it explores to what extent the perception of these characters can be determined by the cultural and ethnic belonging of the audience. The present thesis shows how 24 participated in forming an arena in which representations, mental images, social relations, and boundaries between ingroup members and outgroup members are constructed and negotiated. The main reason for choosing to study 24 exclusively is that after 9/11 the serial played a central role in the public debate about whether Muslims are being stereotyped in US television entertainment. Hence, the thesis examines whether the critics of 24 have a valid point with regards to the show’s portrayal of negative stereotypes. It also assesses to what extent the serial’s effort to introduce Muslim counter-stereotypes proved to be an adequate response to the criticism. A qualitative research approach is used for examining 24 by combining textual and audience reception analysis. Close readings of selected episodes of the TV serial is carried out, and the crux of the analysis centres on whether, and if so in what respects the representation of the characters are stereotypical/counter-stereotypical. Moreover, it is examined how different interpretive communities of young adults, mainly from Norway, but also from the United States, read and perceive the portrayal of Muslim characters in the same television texts.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Black President in Film and Television
    “WELL, IT IS BECAUSE HE’S BLACK”: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BLACK PRESIDENT IN FILM AND TELEVISION Phillip Lamarr Cunningham A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Dr. Angela M. Nelson, Advisor Dr. Ashutosh Sohoni Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Butterworth Dr. Susana Peña Dr. Maisha Wester © 2011 Phillip Lamarr Cunningham All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Ph.D., Advisor With the election of the United States’ first black president Barack Obama, scholars have begun to examine the myriad of ways Obama has been represented in popular culture. However, before Obama’s election, a black American president had already appeared in popular culture, especially in comedic and sci-fi/disaster films and television series. Thus far, scholars have tread lightly on fictional black presidents in popular culture; however, those who have tend to suggest that these presidents—and the apparent unimportance of their race in these films—are evidence of the post-racial nature of these texts. However, this dissertation argues the contrary. This study’s contention is that, though the black president appears in films and televisions series in which his presidency is presented as evidence of a post-racial America, he actually fails to transcend race. Instead, these black cinematic presidents reaffirm race’s primacy in American culture through consistent portrayals and continued involvement in comedies and disasters. In order to support these assertions, this study first constructs a critical history of the fears of a black presidency, tracing those fears from this nation’s formative years to the present.
