IT COULD BE YOUR MOTHER, YOUR SISTER, YOUR AUNT, YOUR BEST FRIEND— 6 WOMEN WITH NO RIGHTS.” – Ane Crabtree 7 1. Decipher designs The Handmaid’s Tale television series, adapted from Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel of the same name, tells the story of June, later known as Offred. Set in the near future, a totalitarian regime has seized control of the U.S. government, eliminated the justice system, disenfranchised women, and sanctioned ritualized acts of public and domestic violence. June, the protagonist, is seized in her attempt to flee and forced into the role of Handmaid, enslaved to bear children for a nearly sterile, dwindling population. Ane Crabtree’s award-winning costumes creatively visualize this dystopian world while remaining true to Atwood’s text. In order to design costumes for characters who live in a world of strict social roles, Crabtree researched groups from different time periods and cultures who dress alike, including military,

  • (Nhris) and Regional Human Rights Institutions
    HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS AS MEDIUM: NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (NHRIS) AND REGIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (RHRIS) IN ASIAN HUMAN RIGHTS CONTEXT A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of the Science of Law by Buhm Suk Baek August 2011 © 2011 Buhm Suk Baek HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS AS MEDIUM: NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (NHRIS) AND REGIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS (RHRIS) IN ASIAN HUMAN RIGHTS CONTEXT Buhm Suk Baek, J.S.D. Cornell University 2011 The purpose of my dissertation is to examine whether and how national human rights institutions (NHRIs) can be a driving force for the establishment of regional human rights institutions (RHRIs) in the Asia-Pacific region, which remains the only region without such institutions in contrast to Europe, the Americas, and Africa. I first explore the issue of whether RHRIs are desirable in this region, and argue that such a system is desirable. Then I examine the reasons why RHRIs have not emerged in this region. I located these reasons in part by examining the reception of human rights in Asia and issues like the emergence of international human rights law from the Western cultural heritage, and the problematic question of what the Asian way of human rights means. The analysis of the obstacles that have hampered the creation of RHRIs leads me to focus on NHRIs. By reviewing the role that NHRIs can play in addressing the concerns and inhibitions of Asian states, while furthering the aims of international human rights law, I maintain that the way in which NHRIs collaborate demonstrates that they can be eminent actors toward the establishment of RHRIs.

  • Operation" Frontal Lobe" Versus The" Living Room Toy": the Battle Over Program Control in Early Television
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 293 490 IR 013 012 AUTHOR Boddy, William TITLE Operation "Frontal Lobe" versus the "Living Room Toy": The Battle over Program Control in Early Television. PUB DATE Jul 86 NOTE 16p.; Paper presented at the International Television Studies Conference (London, England; July 10-12, 1996). PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) Speeches/Conference Papers (153) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Agency Role; *Broadcast Industry; *Commercial Television; Federal Regulation; History; *Networks; *Programing (Broadcast); Radio; *Technological Advancement; Television Research IDENTIFIERS Corporate History; Corporate Politics; *National Broadcasting Company ABSTRACT The development of the television industry in the United States as it emerged in the 1950s is mirrored by tracing the policies and actions of NBC (the National Broadcasting Company) during this period. As the leading radio network and as a subsidiary of RCA (the Radio Corporation of America), NBC was in a uniquely powerful position to direct the structure of the new television industry, which by the mid-1550s was unlike network radio. In the latter, sponsored programs were produced or licensed to a specific sponsor or its advertising agency and the network brokered the time of its affiliates to the sponsor. In television this sponsor or agency role was taken over by the networks, which licensed programs themselves and relegated the advertiser to shared or participating sponsorship forms. While changes in institutional structures in commercial broadcasting were sometimes accomplished by battles, the victory of the networks by the mid-1950s largely defined the network relations with sponsors, advertising agencies, program producers, affiliates, and federal regulators which still largely obtain today.

COURSE DESCRIPTION Despite its pivotal role in postwar America, television has rarely been viewed as a medium worthy of serious critical attention. Long tainted by its commercial ties and mass audience, television has only recently acquired a degree of cultural esteem through its widely acclaimed cable programming (The Sopranos; Mad Men). This course will provide an introduction to the historical development, forms, and reception of television in the U.S., paying particular attention to the social element of the medium. We will thus explore television’s diverse audiences and analyze the various ways in which American culture has both shaped and been shaped by TV. In addition to a focus on key moments in the medium’s history, we will examine the distinctive elements of the televisual form (flow, liveness, seriality, advertising), TV’s key genres (soap, sitcom, drama, news, reality), modes of reception (fandom, distraction, time-shifting), and television’s construction and conception of social difference in America (representation and narrowcasting strategies). Key topics of discussion will include: quality television and cultural hierarchies, HBO and the cable/satellite shift, teen TV, children’s TV, representing “reality,” the gendering of television, televisual immediacy, and the flexibility of “television” in the digital era.
