  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network
    Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE May 2016 Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network Laura Osur Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Osur, Laura, "Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network" (2016). Dissertations - ALL. 448. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/448 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • The Chosen Episode 1 – “I Have Called You by Name”
    The Chosen Episode 1 – “I Have Called You By Name” SCRIPTURE Isaiah 43: 1-4 But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, Jacob, and formed you, Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine. When you pass through waters, I will be with you; through rivers, you shall not be swept away. When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned, nor will flames consume you. For I, the LORD, am your God, the Holy One of Israel, your savior. I give Egypt as ransom for you, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my eyes and honored, and I love you, I give people in return for you and nations in exchange for your life. Luke 8:1-3 Afterward he journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources. John 20:1-18 On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.” So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.

  • Hardcover Journal
    Hardcover Journal What you’ll need… •Chipboard •Mod Podge •Fabric (10"x13" min.) •Wide paintbrush •Scissors •Tapestry needle •Cord •Awl/Sharp tool •Cardstock (8½"x11") •30 sheets paper (8½"x11") Choose the fabric that you would like to be the cover of your journal. Make sure the fabric is thick 1 enough that the Mod Podge will not easily seep right through. Anything at least as thick as a standard white t-shirt should work. Cut the fabric to about 10" tall by 13" wide. Lay it flat. Next, cut two pieces 2 of chipboard, each 5½" by 8½". These will form the covers. If you have chip- board remaining, you can also cut a piece to support the spine. That piece should measure 8½" by approximately ½", depending on how thick you want the journal to be. 3 Lay the chipboard pieces out on the back of the fabric so there is about ¼" of space between the spine piece and the two cover pieces. There should be at least ½" of extra fabric on each side of the assembly. Brush a good amount of Mod Podge on one side of each piece of chipboard and glue into place. Don’t use so much that it easily runs through the fabric. 4 Brush the “interior” edges of the chipboard with Mod Podge as wide as nec- essary to glue the edges of the fabric down. Extra Mod Podge will dry, so over- esmang is okay. Tightly fold the edges of the cloth over starng with the top and boom. Fold the corners to make a wedge shape and then fold the last two flaps over ghtly to finish the cover.

  • You Season 2 Discussion Guide
    Netflix’s second season of You includes plenty of twists, turns and instances of stalking! This discussion guide is intended to start conversations about relationships, trust, stalking, and media portrayals of stalking. 1A. How would you describe You to a potential viewer? The Netflix menu has its own short description. Write one or two sentences that briefly describe the show overall (both seasons) without any spoilers. Then we’ll compare it to the Netflix promotional text. Note to Facilitator: Consider what words come up in multiple responses and, perhaps, write them down – especially words that describe Joe as dangerous. For example, “stalker,” “thriller,” “scary.” 1B. The Netflix description of the series, You, reads: “a 21st century love story about an obsessive, yet brilliant twentysomething named Joe (Badgley) who uses the hyper connectivity of today’s technology to make the woman of his dreams fall in love with him.” How does this compare to your proposed description? • Follow up questions: o Is this a “love story”? If so, for whom? o Is Joe’s behavior motivated by love? Does it matter? o Is “obsessive, yet brilliant” an accurate description for Joe? o Is anything missing from this description? Sample answers: • “Love story” begs the question “for who”? It’s more of a nightmare/horror movie for most of the women that Joe encounters. • Joe’s behaviors may or may not always be motivated by love. Entitlement, revenge, control and anger also motivate Joe. • Regardless of Joe’s motivations, intent is different than impact. The impact is that he controls, violates and even kills those around him.
