Results indicate that while between and within program differences were found on some DAL measures, a common profile of deviation from everyday English in certain word categories was also apparent. All six television program types showed normal values for Very Low Activation words and values from 50% to 100% higher than normal for Soft words. This suggests a style of English usage that may be characteristic of scripted dialogue. Mildly to strongly objectionable words were counted and several categories emerged based on frequency and word characteristics. Results suggest that 'fart' may be a marker for comedy. 'Ass' showed the greatest variety in usage. IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Cynthia Whissell for years of encouragement, wisdom, patience, and practical support, and for sharing the Dictionary of Affect in Language with me. I would also like to thank Dr. Michael Persinger for giving academic shelter to an orphan of the storm many years ago, then teaching me to believe that new things were within my reach. Finally, I sincerely thank my mother. She read me stories when I was very young, and when I got older she let me 'stay up late and watch TV.' V TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE 1.

INTRODUCTION The western tradition of dramatic storytelling dates from Ancient Greece. Plays such as Lysistrata and Oedipus could be classified as comedies or tragedies and were attended by rich and poor alike. Since some texts have survived, these stories are still enjoyed by diverse audiences. In the current era, television is, arguably, the most ubiquitous and accessible source of dramatic storytelling. Television programs also may be classified as comedies or tragedies, are accessible to both rich and poor and, through re-runs and/or 'remakes', the stories continue to be enjoyed by a variety of audiences over many years. (I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners can still be seen weekly, fifty years after the programs were first broadcast in the early years of commercial television.) Along with their entertainment value, the preserved texts of the ancient Greek comedies and tragedies stand as a record of the words that formed the language of that time as well as their use in scripted dialogue.

This summary is intended to assist in understanding the outcome of this proceeding and is not a complete statement of the conclusions reached by the Court. The only authoritative statement of the Court's reasons is that contained in the published reasons for judgment which will be available on the internet at www.fedcourt.gov.au. 2 The judgment in this proceeding is necessarily complicated both as to fact and law. It is also lengthy, running for 636 paragraphs and almost 200 pages. I have decided to provide short oral reasons for the judgment which I am presently to hand down. These reasons are not intended to be a substitute for reading the judgment itself which will be accessible online this morning. 3 This proceeding raises the question whether an internet service provider or ISP authorises the infringement of copyright of its users or subscribers when they download cinematograph films in a manner which infringes copyright.

  • Abandoning the Girl Show Ghetto: Introducing and Incorporating Care Ethics to Girls' Animation
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Adam C. Hughes for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Ethics presented on July 15, 2013 Title: Abandoning the Girl's Show Ghetto: Introducing and Incorporating Care Ethics to Girls' Animation Abstract approved: Flora L. Leibowitz In regards to animation created and aimed at them, girls are largely underserved and underrepresented. This underrepresentation leads to decreased socio-cultural capital in adulthood and a feeling of sacrificed childhood. Although there is a common consensus in entertainment toward girls as a potentially deficient audience, philosophy and applied ethics open up routes for an alternative explanation of why cartoons directed at young girls might not succeed. These alternative explanations are fueled by an ethical contract wherein producers and content creators respect and understand their audience in return for the privilege of entertaining. ©Copyright by Adam C. Hughes July 15, 2013 All Rights Reserved Abandoning the Girl Show Ghetto: Introducing and Incorporating Care Ethics to Girls' Animation by Adam C.

    Universiteit Gent, Faculteit Psychologie en Pedagogische Wetenschappen Academiejaar 2014-2015 De representatie van leraren en onderwijs in populaire cultuur. Een retorische analyse van South Park Jasper Leysen 01003196 Promotor: Dr. Kris Rutten Masterproef neergelegd tot het behalen van de graad van master in de Pedagogische Wetenschappen, afstudeerrichting Pedagogiek & Onderwijskunde Voorwoord Het voorwoord schrijven voelt als een echte verlossing aan, want dit is het teken dat mijn masterproef is afgewerkt. Anderhalf jaar heb ik op geregelde basis gezwoegd, gevloekt en getwijfeld, maar het overheersende gevoel is toch voldoening. Voldoening om een werk af te hebben waar veel tijd en moeite is ingekropen. Voldoening om een werk af te hebben waar ik toch wel fier op ben. Voldoening om een werk af te hebben dat ik zelfstandig op poten heb gezet en heb afgewerkt. Althans hoofdzakelijk zelfstandig, want ik kan er niet omheen dat ik regelmatig hulp heb gekregen van mensen uit mijn omgeving. Het is dan ook niet meer dan normaal dat ik ze hier even bedank. In de eerste plaats wil ik mijn promotor, dr. Kris Rutten, bedanken. Ik kon steeds bij hem terecht met vragen en opmerkingen en zijn feedback gaf me altijd nieuwe moed en inspiratie om aan mijn thesis verder te werken. Ik apprecieer vooral zijn snelle en efficiënte manier van handelen. Nooit heb ik lang moeten wachten op een antwoord, nooit heb ik vele uren zitten verdoen op zijn bureau. Bedankt! Ten tweede wil ik ook graag Ayna, Detlef, Diane, Katoo, Laure en Marijn bedanken voor deelname aan mijn focusgroep. Hun inzichten hebben ervoor gezorgd dat mijn analyses meer gefundeerd werden, hun enthousiasme heeft ertoe bijgedragen dat ik besefte dat mijn thesis zeker een bijdrage is voor het onderzoeksveld.
