Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

  • Women's Leadership in Primetime Television an Introductory Study
    Women’s Leadership in Primetime Television An Introductory Study Natalie Greene Spring 2009 General University Honors Capstone Advisor: Karen O’Connor Greene 1 Women’s Leadership in Prime-time Television: An Introductory Study Introduction When television executives report their core audience, women always come out ahead. A 2007 Nielsen Media Research report showed that, with only two exceptions, every broadcast network channel had more female viewers than men. ABC’s female audience almost doubled its male audience during the 2007-08 season (Atkinson, 2008). 1 Women onscreen, however, seem to reflect a different reality, making up only 43% of characters in the prime-time 2007-08 season (Lauzen, 2008). 2 As studies going back as far as the 1970s show, women on screen not only fail to represent the proportional makeup of women in society, they also overwhelmingly show a stereotypically gendered version of women (McNeil, 1975; Signorielli and Bacue, 1999; United States Commission on Civil Rights, 1977). This paper aims to address the evolution of women’s leadership in prime-time network scripted television from 1950 to 2008. Because of the way that women have been traditionally marginalized in television, it is important to study the shows that have featured women as lead characters. Characters such as Lucy Ricardo ( I Love Lucy, 1951-1960) influenced later female leads such as Ann Marie ( That Girl, 1966-1971), Mary Richards ( The Mary Tyler Moore Show, 1970-1977) and Murphy Brown ( Murphy Brown, 1988-1998). Thus, along with an introduction to socialization theory and feminist television criticism, this paper covers a selection of some of the most influential female characters and women-centered shows of this period.

    UNIVERSIDAD DE CUENCA Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación Carrera de Cine y Audiovisuales La auto- representación y la comedia en el cine contemporáneo hecho por mujeres Trabajo de titulación previo a la obtención del Título de Licenciada en Cine y Audiovisuales Autora: Ana Cristina Franco Varea CI.1721587036 Director: Mag. Galo Alfredo Torres Palchisaca CI. 0101863595 Cuenca - Ecuador 20/09/2019 Universidad de Cuenca RESUMEN Este trabajo de investigación analiza la estrecha relación entre la comedia y la auto- representación femenina en el cine hecho por mujeres. Estudia el proceso de las narrativas, tanto en el área del feminismo vinculado al cine como en el de la comedia, hasta que ambas tendencias se juntan confluyendo en cuatro autoras audiovisuales contemporáneas: Lena Dunham, Malena Pichot, Phoebe Mary Waller-Bridge y Greta Gerwig. A lo largo de la historia del cine, la mayoría de personajes femeninos cómicos han sido creados por hombres; así como la mayoría de directores de comedia han sido hombres. Aunque ha habido pocas mujeres comediantes, sólo pocas han asumido la auto- representación para implantar una mirada propia en su discurso narrativo. La metodología utilizada fue la revisión bibliográfica relacionada con teoría feminista vinculada al cine así como la teoría sobre los orígenes de la comedia. También la observación y análisis de cuatro obras audiovisuales cada una perteneciente a las cuatro autoras elegidas. Las conclusiones a las que se llega permiten deducir que la comedia de mujeres es uno de los géneros más temidos por el imaginario masculino, pues permite hacer de la mujer un personaje real y humano y ya no un fetiche y/o ideal o fantasía masculina.

  • The Family Sitcoms of Norman Lear CC 372/VM 300-10
    Black, White, and Blue Collar: The Family Sitcoms of Norman Lear CC 372/VM 300-10 “My shows were not that controversial with the American people. They were controversial with the people who think for the American people.” “I view every day as a production.” “Comedy with something serious on its mind works as a kind of intravenous to the mind and spirit.” --Norman Lear ********************** Rich West, Ph.D. Course Reading/Materials Lear, N. (2014). Even this I get to experience. New York: Penguin. **We will also have various YouTube screenings and other materials to review. But, you must purchase this book. It’s an autobiographic testimony to the journey that Mr. Lear has undergone and continues to navigate. Course Description By nearly any standard, the most influential television writer/producer/creator/director of situation comedy is Norman Lear. His insights into the American family have allowed hundreds of millions of people to witness the everyday experiences of “regular” families (we will focus on this “regular family” throughout the term). Regardless of our ages, backgrounds, or geographies, “King Lear’s” comedies have been the topic of many family dinners where relatives have gathered to talk about, well, pretty much everything. Nearly every American family has an Archie Bunker or a George Jefferson or a Maude Findlay or a Fred Sanford or a Jerry Hubbard or a Florida Evans or a Mary Hartman or a Dwayne Schneider, among other true- to-life characters that Norman Lear introduced to America in their living rooms over the years. Lear transformed the landscape of television from the moment he stepped on to the “TV 1 Scene” and even today, at age 95, he shows no interest in playing shuffleboard in a Florida city park! To wit: As we read this, Mr.

    Sitcom Citizenship: Civic Participation within Postwar Suburban Sitcoms, 1952-1972 A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Michael Cheyne IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Kevin Murphy and Laurie Ouellette May 2014 © Michael Cheyne 2014 i Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the invaluable assistance of my advisers at the University of Minnesota, Kevin Murphy and Laurie Ouellette, as well as the other members of my thesis committee, Tracey Deutsch and Elaine Tyler May. Through the years of researching and writing, they gave me feedback, guidance, and above all, encouragement. In particular, I thank Kevin, who, as my initial graduate adviser, helped shepherd me through life as a doctoral candidate. I also acknowledge the very helpful feedback provided by my peers in the dissertation writing group led by Kevin Murphy and Regina Kunzel during the 2011- 2013 academic years. Their varied suggestions, praise, and criticism were especially helpful during the formative years of turning years of research into a workable thesis. My fellow graduate students within the American Studies program were unfailing in their personal and professional support. My colleagues at the University of Minnesota-Morris, particularly within the history discipline, were extremely supportive to me during my final two years working on this project. They provided time and funding to assist my research and the presentation of my work. I am particularly thankful for their cheerful willingness to support a colleague during a year of teaching and writing. Finally, I thank my family, friends, and church family, who provided years of love and support while I finished this project.
