  • 'Like an American, but Without a Gun'?: Canadian National Identity
    . Volume 17, Issue 2 November 2020 ‘Like an American, but without a gun’?: Canadian national identity and the Kids in the Hall Melissa Beattie, Independent Scholar, USA Abstract: Media representation of national identity can be complex and utilise many potential mechanisms for conveying said identity onto both diegeses and series. This paper analyses the mechanisms by which the corpus of texts produced by comedy troupe the Kids in the Hall (KITH) represents and constructs a Canadian national identity for domestic and foreign audiences. Utilising both textual analysis and audience research, this paper examines the banal diegetic nationalism (Beattie 2017a, b) of the corpus as well as how the Canadianness of the series is perceived. Keywords: Canadian national identity and media, Discursive national identity, Fan studies, Representation, Audiences Introduction and literature review Media representation of national identity can be complex and utilise many potential mechanisms for conveying said identity onto both diegeses and series. This paper analyses the mechanisms by which the corpus of texts produced by comedy troupe the Kids in the Hall (KITH) represents and constructs a Canadian national identity for domestic and foreign audiences. Utilising both textual analysis and audience research, this paper examines the banal diegetic nationalism (Beattie 2017a, b) of the corpus as well as how the Canadianness of the corpus is perceived. This is relevant when viewed in context of Edwardson’s (2008) work on the development of Canadian national identity through its cultural industries. Though his book looks at all of the cultural industries, Edwardson’s negative view of globalisation with regard Page 3 Volume 17, Issue 2 November 2020 to television in particular views the push for transnational television success as leading to the diminishing of Canadian-focused content in favour of what would appeal to a predominantly-American audience.

  • Comedy: Stand-Up, Gay Male by Tina Gianoulis Actor and Comic Jason Stuart
    Comedy: Stand-Up, Gay Male by Tina Gianoulis Actor and comic Jason Stuart. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Courtesy JasonStuart. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. com. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Stand-up comedy is a form of entertainment where one performer stands in front of an audience and tries to make common cause with that audience by pointing out the ridiculous and humorous in the universal problems of everyday life. Stand-up comics balance on a fine edge between the funny and the offensive. They can be social critics, prodding audiences to look at the unfairness and inequality in life and to rise above them with a laugh. They can also be part of that unfairness by using humor to make fun of women, gays, and ethnic groups, allowing some members of their audiences to feel superior to those who are the butts of the joke. The dilemma is well expressed by Henry Machtey on the Gay Comedy Links website: "Stand-up comedy. Cracking jokes. Are you going to aim those jokes at people who are less powerful? or people who are more powerful?" Too often, gay men have been the objects of hostile humor. Queer jokes, like female jokes and ethnic jokes, have long been a staple of straight stand-up comics looking for an easy laugh from audiences eager to assert their own heterosexuality in a world where it is often dangerous to be gay. At the same time, however, perhaps long before the all-male Greek theater of the fourth century B.C.E., audiences have also had a fascination with gender-bending.

  • Running Head: POPULAR PEDAGOGY in CANADIAN TELEVISION
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Brock University Digital Repository Running head: POPULAR PEDAGOGY IN CANADIAN TELEVISION Popular Pedagogy in Canadian Television: A Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis of Trailer Park Boys Andrew Haddow, B.A. (Hons.) Department of Graduate Studies in Education Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education Faculty of Education, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © Andrew Haddow, 2017 POPULAR PEDAGOGY IN CANADIAN TELEVISION Abstract This major research paper studied the representations of masculinity in the Canadian television program Trailer Park Boys from the perspective of public pedagogy and education. Motivated by a desire to expose how patriarchal discourses are learned through everyday practices and texts, a methodology of feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was formulated. Trailer Park Boys is a long-running mockumentary series set in a fictional trailer park near Halifax, Nova Scotia. It focuses on a cast of male characters with exaggerated personalities, and is satirical in tone. Prior to the main analysis of this paper, a collection of relevant literature was conducted and an opportunity to address a lack of gender-focused studies of Canadian television, including Trailer Park Boys, was noted. This study used the feminist CDA method to analyze what masculinities were reinforced as normal or abnormal in Seasons 3 and 9 of the program, based on the understanding that popular culture is a site of everyday learning. After the data was collected episode-by-episode, it became apparent that the themes of family, authority, and sexuality were helpful in understanding what relationship Trailer Park Boys had with traditional representations of heteronormative masculinity.

    April 6-11, 2010 2010 a comedy odyssey PRODUCED BY FESTIVAL SPONSOR THE 2010 WINNIPEG COMEDY FESTIVAL - AN ODYSSEY NINE YEARS IN THE MAKING. February 22, 2010 (Winnipeg) – It’s nearly that time of year again, when dozens of comics from across the nation hold the city hostage with big laughs and side-splitting mirth. Running April 6-11, 2010, it’s our biggest festival yet, featuring 70 comics and 29 shows in six short nights. What makes this festival so big? Let’s start at the beginning. Tuesday, April 6th we launch the festival with a bang by hosting the Trevor Boris DVD Release/Homecoming 2010 show. When Winnipeg’s favourite farmboy-turned-Much Music-host Trevor Boris announced his intentions to return home to launch his new DVD with Warner Brothers, we decided to join forces and create a show celebrating Trevor and other fine Manitoba ex-pats Irwin Barker and Bruce Clark, as well as current Winnipeggers Al Rae and Chantel Marostica. Wednesday marks our eighth year of the fantastic Opening Night show with the Manitoba Lotteries, hosted this year by none other than the prodigal son, Trevor Boris! The show has swollen from the traditional four to six talented performers; Greg Morton, Derek Edwards, Arthur Simeon, Scott Faulconbridge and Karen O’Keefe. Next comes four nights of galas, including five recorded-for-broadcast CBC galas. We kick off on Thursday with the Edumacation Show, hosted by Gerry Dee and featuring half a dozen cerebral comics including David Hemstad and Jon Dore. Friday night we’ve got two fantastic galas.
