  • Making and Managing Class: Employment of Paid Domestic Workers in Russia Anna Rotkirch, Olga Tkach and Elena Zdravomyslova Intro
    Making and Managing Class: Employment of Paid Domestic Workers in Russia Anna Rotkirch, Olga Tkach and Elena Zdravomyslova This text is published with minor corrections as Chapter 6 in Suvi Salmenniemi (ed) Rethinking class in Russia. London: Ashgate 2012, 129-148. Introduction1 Before, they used to say “everybody comes from the working classes”. I have had to learn these new practices from scratch. I had to understand how to organise my domestic life, how to communicate with the people who I employ. They have to learn this too. (Lidiia, housekeeper) Social class is a relational concept, produced through financial, social and symbolic exchange and acted out in the market, in work places, and also in personal consumption and lifestyle. The relations between employers and employees constitute one key dimension of social class. Of special interest are the contested interactions that lack established cultural scripts and are therefore prone to uncertainties and conflicts. Commercialised interactions in the sphere of domesticity contribute to the making of social class no less than do those in the public sphere. In this chapter, we approach paid domestic work as a realm of interactions through which class boundaries are drawn and class identity is formed. We are interested in how middle class representatives seek out their new class identity through their standards and strategies of domestic management, although we also discuss the views of the domestic workers. As the housekeeper Lidiia stresses in the introductory quotation to this chapter, both employers and employees have to learn new micro-management practices and class relations from scratch. The assertion that class is in continual production (Skeggs 2004) is especially true for the contemporary Russian situation, where stratification grids are loose and class is restructured under the pressure of political and economic changes.

  • The Case of Bartu Ben
    Transformation of Comedy with Streaming Services: The Case of Bartu Ben Nisa Yıldırım, Independent Scholar [email protected] Volume 8.2 (2020) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2020.300 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract Comedy has always been one of the most popular genres in Turkish cinema and television series. As the distinction between film and series has begun to blur in the post-television era, narratives are transforming according to the characteristics of the new medium. Streaming services targeting niche audience offer more freedom to creators of their content. This article aims to study the comedy series Bartu Ben (Its me, Bartu) which is one of the original series of Turkish streaming service Blu TV, in order to interpret the differences of the series from traditional television comedies, and contribution of streaming services to the transformation of the genre.

Streaming services have been threatening cinema and television lately in terms of both production and distribution by creating their original films and series, besides offering wide-ranging archives including films, series, and documentaries from various countries with subtitles and dubbing options.

  • 'House Hunters: Comedians on Couches'
    HGTV SPOTLIGHTS COMEDIANS AND THEIR HOUSE-HUNTING COMMENTARY IN NEW JUNE SERIES ‘HOUSE HUNTERS: COMEDIANS ON COUCHES’ New York [May 18, 2020] Fans who miss televised live events and the pithy professional commentary that comes with them can now look to HGTV to fill that void with its new, highly anticipated series House Hunters: Comedians on Couches (fka House Hunters: LOL). In a four- night, star-studded special event at 10 and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT from Tuesday, June 2, through Friday, June 5, America’s favorite contactless past time—watching and commenting on House Hunters—gets a fun new twist when seven popular comedians deliver hilarious, no holds barred, color commentary on classic episodes of the hit series. Together via videoconference, the entertainers will call out the victories and agonizing defeats caused by paint colors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and open concept spaces. The House Hunters: Comedians on Couches celebrity lineup is led by Dan Levy and Natasha Leggero and features their comedian friends Whitney Cummings, Eliot Glazer, John Mulaney, Chris Redd and J.B. Smoove. “House Hunters is a pop culture phenomenon that inspires strong reactions from viewers who like to play along with its familiar house selection process,” said Jane Latman, president, HGTV. “While we may not agree with the house each family chooses or the reasons they select it, we can agree that it’s a good time to lean on talented people who can find the humor in everything and make us laugh out loud—even when it comes to the challenges and triumphs of house hunting.” And, the comedic fun on the couch supports a good cause.

  • Images of Jewish Women in Comic Books and Graphic Novels. a Master’S Paper for the M.S
    Alicia R. Korenman. Princesses, Mothers, Heroes, and Superheroes: Images of Jewish Women in Comic Books and Graphic Novels. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April 2006. 45 pages. Advisor: Barbara B. Moran This study examines the representations of Jewish women in comic books and graphic novels, starting with a discussion of common stereotypes about Jewish women in American popular culture. The primary sources under investigation include Gilbert Hernandez’s Love and Rockets X, Aline Kominsky-Crumb’s autobiographical works, the X-Men comic books, Art Spiegelman’s Maus and Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*!, Joann Sfar’s The Rabbi’s Cat, and J.T. Waldman’s Megillat Esther. The representations of Jewish women in comic books and graphic novels vary widely. And although certain stereotypes about Jewish women—especially the Jewish Mother and the Jewish American Princess—pervade American popular culture, most of the comics featuring Jewish characters do not seem to have been greatly influenced by these images.

  • Nanny Packet
    Guidelines for Screening Nannies and Babysitters Check References • Ask for references from people who know the applicant. • Listen carefully for tone. • Elicit examples to support answers to interview questions. • Among other questions, ask, “Would you hire this person again to care for your children?” Do background checks (for applicants 18 years and older) • Request a background check through your local police department or online. • Check the National Sex Offender Registry to see if the applicant has been convicted of sexual assault. Check driving records • If your nanny or babysitter will be transporting your children, check his or her driving record through your local Department of Motor Vehicles. Conduct an interview • Get to know applicants by asking open ended and thought-provoking questions. • Include questions about child sexual abuse prevention—e.g., Have you ever received sexual abuse prevention education? What would you do if my child asked you to keep a secret from me? How would you respond to my children grabbing each other’s private parts while bathing? • Listen carefully for how the person responds to each question and watch body language— i.e., Is the individual warm and responsive? Does the person give examples and accept responsibility for her/his actions? • Listen to your intuition! Your gut instinct is the best and most qualified interviewer! If you have a nagging or ambivalent feeling, or find that you are talking yourself into liking the applicant, she/he isn’t the right person for the job. Get a signed agreement (see page two for sample) Conduct a trial run • Ask the sitter or nanny to supervise your children doing an activity and observe how she/he interacts with your children.
