  • Representations of Education in HBO's the Wire, Season 4
    Teacher EducationJames Quarterly, Trier Spring 2010 Representations of Education in HBO’s The Wire, Season 4 By James Trier The Wire is a crime drama that aired for five seasons on the Home Box Of- fice (HBO) cable channel from 2002-2008. The entire series is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and as Kinder (2008) points out, “Each season The Wire shifts focus to a different segment of society: the drug wars, the docks, city politics, education, and the media” (p. 52). The series explores, in Lanahan’s (2008) words, an increasingly brutal and coarse society through the prism of Baltimore, whose postindustrial capitalism has decimated the working-class wage and sharply divided the haves and have-nots. The city’s bloated bureaucracies sustain the inequality. The absence of a decent public-school education or meaningful political reform leaves an unskilled underclass trapped between a rampant illegal drug economy and a vicious “war on drugs.” (p. 24) My main purpose in this article is to introduce season four of The Wire—the “education” season—to readers who have either never seen any of the series, or who have seen some of it but James Trier is an not season four. Specifically, I will attempt to show associate professor in the that season four holds great pedagogical potential for School of Education at academics in education.1 First, though, I will present the University of North examples of the critical acclaim that The Wire received Carolina at Chapel throughout its run, and I will introduce the backgrounds Hill, Chapel Hill, North of the creators and main writers of the series, David Carolina.

  • Historicizing the Mardi Gras Indians in HBO's Treme
    Intercultural Communication Studies XXI: 1 (2012) GENDRIN, DESSINGES & HAJJAR Historicizing the Mardi Gras Indians in HBO’s Treme: An Emancipatory Narrative Dominique M. GENDRIN, Xavier University of Louisiana, USA Catherine DESSINGES, University of Lyon 3, France Wendy HAJJAR, Tulane University, USA Abstract: This study examines the process of historicization of the Black Mardi Gras Indians in the HBO drama series Treme produced by David Simon and Eric Overmyer. Grounded in a critical cultural perspective, and relating fiction to reality through historical truth, we analyze the manner in which the producers recreate this minority’s collective narrative as cultural performance of struggle and survival in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. We base our analysis on series narratives and interviews with members of the Black Mardi Gras Indian (artist) communities. We also rely on local experts and historians using a form of “demystifactory” or “prophetic” criticism in which artists comment on the artistic and historical representations of the Mardi Gras Indians as a unique subculture of the heterogeneous African Diaspora. Our analysis suggests how the Mardi Gras Indians’ narrative speaks to the values of resistance and resilience in an otherwise White dominant social order. Further, the characterization of the Mardi Gras Indians reveals an emancipatory and liberative narrative necessary to their cultural survival. Finally, we address limitations of the study and directions for future research. Keywords: Historicization, emancipatory narrative, Mardi Gras Indians 1. Introduction Most people who are familiar with New Orleans know of the Mardi Gras Indians’ visual representations of the carnival season and parades. Yet few Mardi Gras revelers have a deep and accurate understanding of their identity and cultural practices.

  • And Greetings from Our Bishop
    WELCOME AND GREETINGS FROM OUR BISHOP Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Welcome to the annual session of the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. We join together during these days as disciples of Jesus Christ and leaders in his mission. This year we will celebrate our calling to be “On Mission Together,” and our vision to cultivate courageous leadership, missional engagement and spirit-led innovation. Our conference will be marked by music and worship, study and prayer, debate and conferencing, fellowship and laughter, business and visioning. We will license, commission and ordain men and women for set apart leadership in the church. We will send clergy into congregational and extension leadership for the coming year. We will elect laity and clergy delegates to the 2020 General Conference. We will celebrate extraordinary faithfulness in response to natural disasters in our region, and we will process the outcomes of the recent Special Session of the 2019 General Conference. And we will return to our local churches, more aware of our connection as Florida United Methodists. Gathering at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, the Annual Conference will begin with the celebration of Holy Communion. Our keynote speakers will be extraordinary: Bishop Will Willimon of Duke Divinity School will be our conference preacher, and Dr. Dana Robert of Boston University will be our teacher. Dr. Gary Spencer will preach the memorial sermon and Dr. Cynthia Weems, dean of the cabinet, will give the cabinet’s report. Inspirational music will be led by Jarvis Wilson and Keith Wilson of Atlanta, Georgia. Our offerings will support the re-development of the Wesley Foundation at Florida A & M University, and the launch of a new church inside Lowell Women’s Prison in Reddick.
