  • De Representatie Van Leraren En Onderwijs in Populaire Cultuur. Een Retorische Analyse Van South Park
    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.

Sisällönanalyyttinen ja kuvatutkimuksellinen tulkinta fiktiivisen ohjelman sisältämistä poliittisista representaatioista Pro gradu -tutkielma, 115 s., 4 liites. Valtio-oppi Maaliskuu 2012 ___________________________________________________________ Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastelen yhdysvaltalaisen South Park -tv-sarjan tapaa esittää poliittisia aiheita ja politiikan toimijoita. Tulkitsen kahdeksaa sarjan jaksoa sisällönanalyyttisin ja kuvatutkimuksellisin keinoin. Muodostan yksittäisissä jaksoissa esitetyistä kuvista ja tekstisisällöstä induktiivisen päätelmän, johon kokoan yhtenäisen näkemyksen sarjan tavasta esittää ja kehystää politiikkoja, poliittista toimintaa sekä asiakysymyksiä jaksoissa. Tutkimuksen pääaineiston jaksoissa esiintyy useita erilaisia aiheita ja teemoja, joita on mahdoton asettaa yhden kokoavan temaattisen tulkinnan alle. Työni kannalta on johdonmukaisempaa analysoida ja tulkita kulloinkin käsiteltävänä olevan jakson sisällössä esitettävää kokonaisnäkemystä etenkin liberaali–konservatiiviasettelun ja toisaalta puoluepoliittisen demokraatti–republikaani-dikotomian kautta. Analyysistäni selvisi, että South Park kritisoi niin demokraatteja kuin republikaanejakin.

  • American Monsters: Tabloid Media and the Satanic Panic, 1970-2000
    AMERICAN MONSTERS: TABLOID MEDIA AND THE SATANIC PANIC, 1970-2000 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Sarah A. Hughes May 2015 Examining Committee Members: Kenneth L. Kusmer, Advisory Chair, History Carolyn Kitch, Journalism Susan E. Klepp, History Elaine Tyler May, External Member, University of Minnesota, American Studies © Copyright 2015 by Sarah A. Hughes All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT “American Monsters: Tabloid Media and the Satanic Panic, 1970-2000,” analyzes an episode of national hysteria that dominated the media throughout most of the 1980s. Its origins, however, go back much farther and its consequences for the media would extend into subsequent decades. Rooted in the decade’s increasingly influential conservative political ideology, the satanic panic involved hundreds of accusations that devil-worshipping pedophiles were operating America’s white middle-class suburban daycare centers. Communities around the country became embroiled in criminal trials against center owners, the most publicized of which was the McMartin Preschool trial in Manhattan Beach, California. The longest and most expensive trial in the nation’s history, the McMartin case is an important focal point of this project. In the 1990s, judges overturned the life sentences of defendants in most major cases, and several prominent journalists and lawyers condemned the phenomenon as a witch-hunt. They accurately understood it to be a powerful delusion, or what contemporary cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard termed a “hyperreality,” in which audiences confuse the media universe for real life. Presented mainly through tabloid television, or “infotainment,” and integral to its development, influence, and success, the panic was a manifestation of the hyperreal.

  • Using South Park to Teach Public Choice
    The Journal of Private Enterprise 30(3), 2015, 103–108 EDUCATIONAL NOTE Did You Say That Voting Is Ridiculous? Using South Park to Teach Public Choice Adam J. Hoffer University of Wisconsin, La Crosse George R. Crowley Troy University ______________________________________________________ Abstract We describe an approach to teaching public choice perspectives on voting using an episode from Comedy Central’s animated television show, South Park. The episode depicts the events surrounding a vote for a new school mascot and demonstrates the near-zero value of an individual vote, the value individuals place on the act of voting itself, the problems that arise when voters must choose among undesirable candidates, and the role of political campaigning. The episode mirrors the public’s perception of major-party candidates in most elections. ______________________________________________________ JEL Codes: A22, D72 Keywords: South Park, voting, elections, teaching public choice I. Introduction Recent economics education literature has advocated moving away from the pure lecture style of classroom instruction. Scholars have suggested the incorporation of movie clips (Mateer and Li 2008; Mateer and Stephenson 2011), video clips (Diamond 2009), comic strips (Lawson 2006), podcasts (Hall 2012), and academic entrepreneurship from student presentations (Hoffer 2013). Hall (2005), Holian (2011), and Ghent, Grant, and Lesica (2011) recommend the use of television clips, describing economics in The Simpsons, The Drew Carey Show, and Seinfeld, respectively. We describe a similar methodology using the television show South Park, with a particular focus on the use of a 2004 episode to illustrate key concepts in public choice. Compared with programs discussed in the The authors thank the editor and anonymous reviewers for helpful comments.
