  • The Subversive Agency of Children in Adult Animated Sitcoms
    “KID POWER!”: THE SUBVERSIVE AGENCY OF CHILDREN IN ADULT ANIMATED SITCOMS A thesis submitted to the faculty of AS San Francisco State University 3 0 In partial fulfillment of ^0!? the requirements for U)oM5T the Degree •Tfcif Master of Arts In Women and Gender Studies by Carly Toepfer San Francisco, California May 2015 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read “Kid Power!” The Subversive Agency of Children in Adult Animated Sitcoms by Carly Toepfer, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Arts in Women and Gender Studies at San Francisco State University. Evren Savci, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Julietta Hua, Ph. D. Associate Professor “KID POWER!’”: THE SUBVERSIVE AGENCY OF CHILDREN IN ADULT ANIMATED SITCOMS Carly Toepfer San Francisco, California 2015 In my thesis, using contemporary feminist analyses about children, obedience, the nuclear family, and media influence, I theorize the representations of children in adult animated sitcoms. I argue that these television shows are ripe with representations of children subverting adult actions and beliefs through their own agency and rebellion, which they enact in two main ways: through sibling relationships and friendship/peer groups. Using episodes of both The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers, I analyze what these shows reveal about the agency of children and argue that these characteristics are not written merely into individual characters, but are an innate part of childhood in these shows. is a correct representation of the content of this thesis. Date ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my readers, Evren Savci and Julietta Hua, for pushing me to do this work and to constantly improve on it.

  • The Simpsons “Do Diversity” in the Critical Media Literacy Classroom
    “Peace and Chicken” The Simpsons “do diversity” in the critical media literacy classroom Emma Jane McGillivray Department of Integrated Studies in Education McGill University, Montreal January 2011 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts © Emma Jane McGillivray 2011 Acknowledgments It is with the utmost gratitude that I extend a sincere thank-you to everyone that has in one way or another influenced and supported my learning over the last three years of my graduate studies. More specifically, there are pivotal players that have been invaluable throughout this writing process. To my Supervisor—Shirley Steinberg, thank you for answering so many of my questions and for helping me to understand that while The Simpsons might not be hyperreal, you can probably still find a time where they ‘did’ hyperreal. And for sharing your amazing brilliance and strength in everything that you do. Thank-You. To my partner in life—Scott McMichael- ‘I choo choo choose you’ -10 seasons in and a whole lot more to go. You have pushed and encouraged me everyday to do my best. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. I love you. To my family— To my grandfather, Dr. Jim, you have made all of this obtainable and have been my hero throughout my life. It is your encouragement and advice that continues to push me to work hard at everything that I do. To my mother, Johanne McGillivray, you have taught me to have faith in the world and not to be afraid to wonder about the unimaginable.

  • Apple Newton - a Personal Digital Assistant from 25 Years Ago Created by Matthew Goodrich
    Apple Newton - A Personal Digital Assistant from 25 years ago Created by Matthew Goodrich Last updated on 2019-10-29 05:35:12 AM UTC Overview and History The Newton was a Personal Digital Assistant developed by Apple in the late 80s and early 90s. Though it might not look too advanced now, at the time it was fairly revolutionary. It was the first PDA to use handwriting recognition and the first Apple product to use an ARM CPU. There were earlier PDAs (though the term was actually first used by Apple CEO John Sculley to refer to the Newton) from brands like Psion, but they were more like electronic address books than full-fledged computers. The Psion Series 3, released a year before the Newton, was much more capable but used a clamshell design with a full keyboard. The Newton's design was very different. If you read the guide about General Magic (https://adafru.it/GjA), the Newton will seem familiar. General Magic had been working on their project in secret and were shocked to see Sculley (Apple CEO and General Magic board member) release the Newton in 1992 with a lot of their ideas incorporated. Unfortunately the handwriting recognition, the most obvious and exciting feature, wasn't very good when it was first released. The software required training and would get better at recognizing the user's handwriting, but the process could take weeks or months. It was not received well by critics and was made fun of in Doonesbury and The Simpsons ("Lisa on Ice"). The later versions greatly improved on the original but it retains its bad reputation.

  • Introduction: the Simpsons, Satire, and American Culture
    Notes Introduction: The Simpsons, Satire, and American Culture 1. Robert J. Thompson, Television’s Second Golden Age: From Hill Street Blues to ER (New York: Continuum, 1996), 19. 2. “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” (#7G08) ranked thirtieth for its timeslot the night it premiered and earned Fox a 22 percent share and a 14.5 rating. See “Nielsens,” USA Today, December 20, 1989, 3D, Lexis-Nexis Academic, October 2, 2003. 3. “Bart the Genius” (#7G02) ranked forty-eighth for its timeslot and earned Fox a 19 percent share and a 12.7 rating. See “Nielsens,” USA Today, January 17, 1990, 3D, Lexis-Nexis Academic, October 2, 2003. 4. Harry F. Waters, “Family Feuds,” Newsweek, April 23, 1990, 58. 5. Although The Simpsons often ranked within the top ten for weekly or monthly Nielsen totals, the show has not ranked high overall: at the end of the 1989–90 season, its first full season on the air, The Simpsons ranked only thirtieth. See “Final Season Ratings,” Electronic Media, April 23, 1990, 36, Lexis-Nexis Academic, October 2, 2003. http:// web.lexis-nexis.com/universe. Curiously, the show has never been among the top 25 in the Nielsen seasonal totals. It is no longer the ratings juggernaut it once was, but new episodes of The Simpsons still rank in the Nielsen top 50 among prime-time television shows and often in the top 20 among shows in syndication. Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh, The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows, 1946–Present, 8th ed. (New York: Ballantine, 2003), 1073–74.
