  • Nothing but Sounds, Ink-Marks”—Is Nothing Hidden? Must Everything Be Transparent?
    Final version published in the Yearbook of the Danish Philosophy Association, 2018 “Nothing but sounds, ink-marks”—Is nothing hidden? Must everything be transparent? Paul Standish (UCL Institute of Education) Abstract Is there something that lies beneath the surface of our ordinary ways of speaking? Philosophy sometimes encourages the all-too-human thought that reality lies just outside our ordinary grasp, hidden beneath the surface of our experience and language. The present discussion concentrates initially on a few connected paragraphs of Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations (particularly ##431-435). Wittgenstein leads the reader to the view that meaning is there in the surface of the expression. Yet how adequate is Wittgenstein’s treatment of the sounds and ink-marks, the materiality of the sign? With some reference to Emerson, Stanley Cavell, and Jacques Derrida, my discussion explores how far a more adequate account of the sign can coincide with the claim that nothing is hidden. It exposes phony obsessions with transparency, which in a culture of accountability have had a distorting effect on education and the wider social field. It endorses confidence in the reality of ordinary words. Keywords Language, reality, expression, Wittgenstein, Emerson, Cavell, Derrida I want to pursue the alleged error of thinking that there must be something that lies beneath the surface of our ordinary ways of speaking about our reactions and responses to the world. A popular form of this is found when you are talking to someone and they say in response: “Just wait a minute while I process what you have said.” They are not, as their language more or less makes clear, quite reasonably telling you that they want to think over what you have said: they are informing you of a mental operation, a brain process that needs to be carried out before they can answer.1 There are 1 Such a response is familiar enough.

  • Gothic Taxonomies: Heredity and Sites of Domestication in Nineteenth-Century British Fiction
    GOTHIC TAXONOMIES: HEREDITY AND SITES OF DOMESTICATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH FICTION By Elizabeth M. Pellerito A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY English 2012 ABSTRACT GOTHIC TAXONOMIES: HEREDITY AND SITES OF DOMESTICATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH FICTION By Elizabeth M. Pellerito This project reads the ways in which systems of taxonomy and gothic novels, when read together, chart the history of nineteenth-century theories of heredity. By pitting Enlightenment empiricist and rationalist thought against gothic novels, literary critics have posited the two fields as diametrically opposed entities. However, I argue here that the gothic novel translates naturalists’ and taxonomists’ questions about species, applying them to the social, political and biological structure of the human family. The central term of the project, “gothic taxonomy,” refers to the moments in each of these disciplines, and in the exchanges between them, that describe failed systematizations, the simultaneous necessity and impossibility of nineteenth- century attempts to encapsulate the laws of hereditary transmission in a single set of natural laws. By reading taxonomy as a process with social and political consequences, this project provides much-needed nuance to the often reductive critical debates about hereditarians and their foes during the nineteenth century. Revising and complicating these notions forces us to rethink the gothic as a discourse that is merely oppositional in nature, existing only to challenge the narratives of Enlightenment. Reading the gothic as an interpretive model that actively unpacks the inconsistencies of systematization, rather than simply as a reactionary celebration of the irrational or the subconscious, allows us to read it as a discourse with a real contribution of its own to make to scientific debates about the biological and social role of heredity during the period.

    TGIF: THANK GOODNESS IT’S FAMILY: FAMILY MESSAGES IN ABC’s 1990S FRIDAY NIGHT LINEUP by Kourtney Hanna Smith A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Mass Communication Middle Tennessee State University December 2015 Dr. Katherine Foss, Chair Dr. Jane Marcellus Dr. Jan Quarles ABSTRACT Early television sitcoms in the 1950s focused on families with traditional nuclear structures and conventional values. Almost four decades later, ABC’s Thank Goodness It’s Funny 1990s lineup featured families whose premise and themes were based on reconfiguring family structure. By studying television families in Full House (1987- 1995), Family Matters (1989-1998), Step-by-Step (1991-1998), Boy Meets World (1993- 2000), and Sister, Sister (1994-1999), we see traditional family values of love, friendship, togetherness, and instilling the importance of hard work and education in children. TGIF’s theme songs reconfigure the American family through song, and emphasize that reconfiguration leads to a better family. This narrative qualitative analysis of the TGIF lineup provided insight into how American sitcoms have evolved in ideologies about the family in-between the traditional early portrayals to today’s postmodern television families. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION.…………………………………………………………………….. 1 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND JUSTIFICATION………………………………. 3 CHAPTER 1: BACKGROUND………………………………………………………...5 Early Television Programming………………………………………………….5 1950s Families and Their Depictions…………………………………………...8

  • Resistance to Hegemonic Masculinity in Modern Family
    Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric, Vol. 11, No.1/2, 2021, pp. 36-56. Modern Masculinities: Resistance to Hegemonic Masculinity in Modern Family Jennifer Y. Abbott∗ Cory Geraths+ Since its debut in 2009, the ABC television show Modern Family has captivated audiences and academics alike. The show professes a modern perspective on families, but many scholars have concluded that its male characters uphold problematic, normative expressions of gender. In contrast, we use the concept of hegemonic masculinity to argue that Modern Family resists normative expressions of masculinity by attuning viewers to the socially constructed nature of hegemonic masculinity and by authorizing feminine and flamboyant behaviors as appropriately manly. These coun- terhegemonic strategies work in tandem to scrutinize confining expectations for men and to offer viable alternatives. Taken together, their coexistence mitigates against an oppressive hybrid version of hegemonic masculinity. Conse- quently, our analysis introduces readers to the rhetorical power of hegemonic masculinity and strategies to resist it; considers the efficacy of these strategies while drawing a wide audience; and stresses the importance of diverse gender representation in popular media. Keywords: Modern Family, hegemonic masculinity, resistance, comedy, television, sitcom The ABC television show Modern Family concluded on April 8, 2020, securing its place in history as among the longest running and most successful domestic situation comedies. Beginning with its first season in 2009, and ending with its eleventh and final season in 2020, the series currently stands as the “third longest-running network sitcom in television history.”1 While ratings dipped ∗ Jennifer Y.
