A Brief History of Vampires Myha Do Volume 2, Issue 1 !e Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy Editorial: Examining Perspectives and Applications A class of freshman composition students were recently asked to consider the multitude of reality programs on network and cable television and to o!er an explanation for the popularity of reality shows. "ey pondered all manner of reality shows, including competitions like Top Chef, !e Voice, Biggest Loser, and !e Bachelor, among others; reality dramas, shows which follow individuals as they live, work, and play, such as Gold Rush, Appalachian Outlaws, Amish Ma"a, and the various Real Housewives; and “informative” reality shows, including Pawn Stars, Antiques Roadshow, and Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Having contemplated the situation, my students cited viewer curiosity and superiority, and belief in the American Dream as potential contributors to the preponderance of these shows. "ey may well be correct. We consume these programs to learn what life “really” looks like in Alaska or West Virginia or Bever- ly Hills; to watch the drama and scandal of the lives of others and feel some comfort in our own circumstances; or perhaps, drawing upon our better angels, to be inspired by the successes and happiness of the individuals on the screen before us. "ough the veracity of these reality shows is o#en in question, each autumn a new class debuts, each hoping to be the next Survivor or American Idol. Due in part to these programs, television, a relic of the 20th century, remains relevant in the 21st, albeit consumed on ever-smaller devices and through a variety of delivery systems by many audiences of weekly programming. It is not surprising then that we $nd that our $rst open call issue primarily features articles which address the role of television in both past and contemporary culture, ranging from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood and Little House on the Prairie to Jersey Shore and the recent BBC adaptation Sherlock. "e editors and contributors of Dialogue: !e Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Peda- gogy are pleased to present Volume 2, Issue 1, “Traversing Realities: Genres, Histories, and Politics in Popular Culture.” While several of these essays do indeed reference reality television, authors Kayce Mobley, Sarah Fisher, and Amy Fatzinger examine the relationship between television drama and the realities of politics and race relations. Mobley and Fisher use !e West Wing’s $ctional American president Josiah Bartlet and his administration to teach American foreign policy, and Fatzinger considers Laura Ingalls Wilder’s portrayal of American Indians in her books and their eventual adaptation in Little House on the Prairie, a show which would contribute largely to the perception of Native Americans for an entire generation of American children. "ese dramatic $ctions and historic realities intersect on-screen, demonstrating the ever-%uctuating bound- aries of the “real” in the artifacts produced by our culture. Examining the sort of reality that we simultaneously fear and are drawn to, that of the zombie apoca- lypse, Anthony Neely considers !e Walking Dead and its depiction of informal learning in the absence of a structured educational environment.

    The West Wing Weekly 1.22: What Kind of Day Has It Been [Intro Music] HRISHI: You’re listening the The West Wing Weekly, I’m Hrishikesh Hirway JOSH: ..and I’m Joshua Malina HRISHI: Today, we’re talking about the finale of season one JOSH: Woo! HRISHI: It’s episode 22, and it’s called ‘What kind of day has it been’. JOSH: It was written by Aaron Sorkin, it was directed by Tommy Schlamme, and it originally aired on May 17th, in the year 2000. HRISHI: Here’s a synopsis.. JOSH: A hrynopsis? HRISHI: [laughs] Sure.. JOSH: I just wanted to make sure because, you know, it’s an important distinction. HRISHI: An American fighter jet goes down in Iraq, and a rescue mission ensues to find the pilot. But, it’s a covert operation, so CJ has to mislead the press. Toby’s brother is onboard the space shuttle Columbia, but it’s having mechanical difficulties and can’t land. Plus, Josh has to meet with the Vice President to bring him around to the Bartlet administration's plans for campaign finance. President Bartlet travels to Rosalind, Virginia, to speak at the Newseum and give a live town hall meeting. But as they’re exiting, S#&* goes down and shots ring out. JOSH: Well done HRISHI: Before we even get into the episode though, Josh, I want to ask you about the title. ‘What kind of day has it been’ is a very Sorkin title, it’s been the finale for lots of things that he’s done before.

  • The West Wing

    The West Wing

    38/ Pere Antoni Pons The everydayness of power The West Wing If the effect is the same as what happens with me, after seeing any average-quality chapter of The West Wing (1999-2006) the reader-spectator will think he or she is witnessing an incontrovertible landmark in the latest phase of audiovisual narrative. After viewing one of the more dazzling, memorable episodes, he or she will not hesitate to believe that this is to behold one of the major, most perfect intellectual and artistic events of the early twenty-first century, comparable —not only in creative virtuosity but also in meaning, magnitude and scope— with Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, Shakespeare’s tragedies, Balzac’s The Human Comedy, or the complete recordings of Bob Dylan. Over the top? Even with more rotund words, it would be no exaggeration. Nowadays, nobody can ignore the fact that a colossal explosion in quality has happened over the last decade in the universe of American TV series. The old idea according to which the hapless professionals —scriptwriters, actors and directors— the ones who lack the luck or talent to carve out a niche in Hollywood or to triumph in the world of cinema, have to work in television has now been so thoroughly debunked that it even seems to have been turned on its head. Thanks to titles like The Sopranos, Capo 35 Ample front (Capo 35 Broad forehead), Miquel Barceló (2009). Ceramic, 22,5 x 19 x 25 cm 39 40/41 II The everydayness of power: The West Wing Pere Antoni Pons Lost, and The Wire, no one doubts any more that TV series can be as well filmed, as well written and as well acted as any masterpiece of the big screen.
  • Does Migration Destination Affect the Mortality Advantage of Mexican Immigrants? a Comparison of Traditional, New, and Emerging Destinations

    Does Migration Destination Affect the Mortality Advantage of Mexican Immigrants? a Comparison of Traditional, New, and Emerging Destinations

    Does Migration Destination Affect the Mortality Advantage of Mexican Immigrants? A comparison of Traditional, New, and Emerging Destinations Andrew Fenelon1 1National Center for Health Statistics, 3311 Toledo Road, Hyattsville, MD 20782 Abstract Health declines for immigrants with greater exposure to the United States, but the specific characteristics of the migration and assimilation processes that contribute to this pattern are less clear. As the Mexican population in the US has grown, it has expanded outside traditional gateways in California and Texas to new destinations throughout the US. This study examines the mortality of Mexican immigrants in Traditional versus New and Emerging destinations in the US. Using National Health Interview Survey data between 1989 and 2009 the analysis finds that Mexican immigrants in New and Emerging destinations have a significant survival advantage over their counterparts in traditional established destinations. This advantage may reflect selective migration to new destinations, superior employment prospects, or slower behavioral assimilation. US-born Mexicans do not benefit from this advantage. The results suggest that the spatial characteristics of the assimilation process are important when considering the health of immigrants. Introduction The Hispanic mortality advantage refers to the finding that the Hispanic-origin population in the United States experiences lower adult mortality rates than the non-Hispanic white population, despite lower average socioeconomic status among Hispanics. The “Hispanic Paradox” calls attention to the fact that Hispanics resemble African-Americans in terms of socioeconomic indicators but non-Hispanic whites in health and mortality indicators (Hummer, et al., 2000, Markides and Eschbach, 2011). In many studies, Hispanics exhibit higher life expectancy than non-Hispanic whites, as well as more favorable profiles with respect to non-fatal conditions such as cancer incidence and severity, heart disease, and hypertension (Eschbach, et al., 2005, Singh and Siahpush, 2002).
