  • Gilmore Girl
    On ne naît pas Gilmore Girl, on le devient Une analyse du féminisme français tel que compris par un grand public états-unien, et de la femme française dans la série américaine Gilmore Girls « Quel malheur que d’être femme ! et pourtant le pire malheur quand on est femme est au fond de ne pas comprendre que c’en est un ». – Kierkegaard Bachelor werkstuk Marley van der Donk s4608062 Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen Franse taal en cultuur Alessandra Benedicty-Kokken Emmanuelle Radar 01-07-2018 Résumé néerlandais – Nederlandse samenvatting Naast feminisme is een van de grootste kenmerken van de Amerikaanse serie Gilmore Girls de geletterdheid van hoofdpersonages Lorelai en Rory. In de serie zit dan ook een hoog aantal referenties naar literatuur, lectuur en popcultuur, waaronder een aanzienlijke hoeveelheid Franse werken. In dit onderzoek, dat bestaat uit een analyse van verschillende afleveringen van de serie, bekijken we hoe deze Franse ideeën worden verspreid en gepopulariseerd voor en door een Amerikaans publiek. We concentreren ons hierbij op de aanwezigheid van “la femme française”, in dit geval een combinatie tussen Madame Bovary, Brigitte Bardot en Simone de Beauvoir. Daarnaast analyseren we het Frans feminisme en hoe en waarom deze op een ironische manier worden weergegeven voor de Amerikaanse kijker. 2 Table des matières ❖ Introduction – La littérature française dans Gilmore Girls p. 4 ❖ Le contexte p. 8 ❖ Gilmore Girls: gender studies et reception theory p. 8 ❖ Simone de Beauvoir p. 11 ❖ Madame Bovary p. 14 ❖ La femme française comme icône : Madame Bovary, Brigitte Bardot et Simone de Beauvoir p. 16 ❖ Analyse – La femme française dans Gilmore Girls p.

  • Who Are Your Favorite TV Show Journalists?
    For video segments from The Gilmore Girls, Ugly Betty and WKRP in Cincinnati, go to: http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/mediawire/270447/who-are-your-favorite-tv-show-journalists/ Who are your favorite TV show journalists? by Kristen Hare Published Sep. 19, 2014 10:39 am Today is the anniversary of the first episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, which debuted in 1970. Poynter’s David Shedden wrote about the show and the recognition it received for today’s media history post. In February, Poynter’s Roy Peter Clark wrote about how journalists are shown in House of Cards. And on Wednesday, Lloyd Grove wrote about a new pack of TV and movie journalists for The Daily Beast. There’s a lot to choose from, so who are your favorite journalists from sitcoms or dramas? I have three. Paris Geller (from The Gilmore Girls. Rory Gilmore is also a favorite, but Paris was a super- journo.) There are a lot of great moments from Paris and Rory’s time at The Yale Daily News, but they started in high school. Betty Suarez (from Ugly Betty.) Betty starts as a secretary at a New York fashion mag, but works her way up and into the magazine’s masthead: And Les Nessman (from WKRP in Cincinnati. Love the bow tie). Who are your picks? (I’ve written about a few before, but I know there are lots more.) Email or tweet me your picks and I’ll pull together a collection. We have made it easy to comment on posts, however we require civility and encourage full names to that end (first initial, last name is OK).

Syracuse: Syracuse University Press, 2010: 19-35. Publisher Link. © 2010 Syracuse University Press. Used with permission. Branding the Family Drama Genre Formations and Critica[ Perspectives on Gilmore Girls AMANDA R. KEELER Before its debut on October 5, 2000, Gilmore Girls had already made television history. According to an article published in American Demo­ graphics that year, Gilmore Girls was the "first advertiser advocated show" funded by the Family Friendly Programming Forum (FFPF), a group consisting of major U.S. corporations, who offered up a mil­ lion dollars to "fund 'family-friendly' script development at the WB," the network that in 2006 partnered with UPN to become the CW ("Television" 2000). Taking into consideration other family-friendly dramatic television series aimed at multigenerational audiences on the CW, such as 7th Heaven (1996-2007) and Everwood (2002-6), one might ask how a program about a single, never-married mom (until the final season), raising her daughter, could constitute family-friendly fare. What particular elements of this Amy Sherman-Palladino cre­ ation led the FFPF to fund its development? And is "family friendly" a viable genre label? In the context of television programming and criti­ cism, does genre even matter anymore, considering the hybrid nature of most contemporary series? In this chapter I will investigare what critics have written about Gilmore Girls and how the show has been linked to similar programs in terms of genre classification.

BRIEF LIST OF PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN’T SUE ME: AMY SHERMAN-PALLADINO, MARK GATISS, THE OTHER SHERLOCK GUY WHOSE NAME I FORGET, OH! MOFFAT, STEVEN (STEPHEN?) MOFFAT, SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE. *** 1. INT. - BEDROOM - NIGHT RORY GILMORE is having a nightmare. She is in a grey building with low ceilings, and the building is under attack. A colleague cries out her name as an explosion sounds in the distance, and the low ceiling caves in, shrouding her in fog. She jolts awake and sits up in bed, distressed and panic-stricken, until she realizes that she is safe, and a long way from war. She falls back onto her pillow. She tries to calm her breathing. Her memories refuse to leave her alone. She begins to weep. 2. INT. - BEDROOM - EARLY MORNING RORY sits up and switches on her bedside lamp. It’s still dark outside. She sits quietly, wrapped up in her thoughts, and casts her eyes around at the remains of her childhood bedroom - the Radiohead posters on the walls, the bookshelf brimming with Sylvia Plath and Dorothy Parker. She looks at her desk. A metal cane is leaning against it. She looks at it, unhappy. She will not be sleeping again tonight. 3. INT. - BEDROOM - MORNING The sun has finally risen. Rory - wet hair, freshly washed - is wearing a terry bathrobe. She walks across the room, leaning heavily on her cane. In her other hand, she’s carrying a mug of tea.
