Approaching the Promethean Idea in the Spring 2018 Semester Note from Capstone Director, Professor Leslie Donovan Sam Shoemaker-Trejo’s capstone project was to prepare and co-teach a 300-level Honor seminar titled Burning Life: Approaching the Promethean Idea in the Spring 2018 semester. Sam and I came up with the idea of the course as a means to provide junior-level Honors student with advanced skills in research and communicating that research for public audiences. As a result, the artifacts or products that give evidence for Sam’s capstone are somewhat different than those of other projects. Instead of performing original research, he read research on pedagogy and developed his own teaching style. He co-wrote the syllabus, co-prepared all in-class handouts and exercises, personally led 50% of our class sessions, commented on and collaborated in the grading of all assignments, and met with students individually. The artifacts collected here for future Honors Majors to consider are two works Sam was solely responsible for writing that somewhat summarize his capstone work and experience: a narrative story version of our more formal syllabus (distributed to students in the class after the forma syllabus had been discussed) and an end-of-the semester reflective paper summarizing the entire course. Burning Life: Approaching the Promethean Idea by Samuel Shoemaker-Trejo As a note to the reader of this syllabus: this story exists to clarify the structure and theory of the course, as well as to alleviate some of the malaise of the regular syllabus. It contains no dates or times, but I have bolded certain information that pertains directly to the order of assignments in the course. As such, I intend that this syllabus be used in conjunction with the more traditional one that Dr. Donovan and I presented to you at the beginning of Burning Life. With that in mind, I ask that you attach your understanding of this course’s structure to whichever version of the syllabus you prefer, but that you do consult the traditional thesis for the explicit versions of the expectations that Dr. Donovan and I hold for you. We do still expect you to complete assignments on the assigned days, and to ask questions as you need. But we do not ask that the process of this course should be boring or overly burdensome. And so I hope you enjoy this short story. It’s about you, in the now and in the future, and it paints a glowing picture of what you are able to accomplish. Take heart, because that is the estimation of you that Dr. Donovan and I already have. Over the years of your early college career, you fell that you’ve explored many different topics of study. From the core subjects of the curriculum to several more complex and far reaching areas and fields, you’ve delved into various interests, ideas, and fields, and you’ve finally found something that you might like to study. This is your first step on your career path. Even if only for a short time, you want to study the subject of your interest in depth. And for that, you need money, and for that, you need grants. And so you’ve come to the first major challenge: Create a work that makes it through peer review, one that will make potential funders want to give you the resources you need to accomplish your goals. And, being in college and having access to hundreds of resources, you are situated in just the right place to tackle this new objective. Not only that, but you just found a class that focuses on the Promethean Idea, a nebulous platform of ideas that the course’s professors assure you will help you to meet any practical goals you may set. Better yet, the course focuses on revision, and you’re sure you’ll need lots of it. You sign up for the course, and head into winter break. ***** On the first day of class, your professors hand out the syllabus and begin breaking down the course schedule. Ten minutes of minutia later, you find that the first few weeks of the course will be composed of reading from the many books in the course, as the reading will drop off later. You worry that you might not get the revision focus that you had looked for. However, you also see that one of the first homework assignments, which you have three weeks to complete, is to generate subject ideas for a paper/project of your own creation and begin a thesis paragraph for that paper/project. You dust off your ideas for your work, and begin to suss out your thoughts. Over the next month, you work to craft a thesis between your reading assignments. The introduction to the academic paper form of your thoughts that your professors ask you to start with never seems to quite work out right, but the core idea holds your interest. And that is enough for the moment. In the meanwhile you learn the basics of the Promethean Idea. Starting with Prometheus Bound, by Aeschylus, you learn that Prometheus meant foresight in ancient Greek, and that the Promethean Idea involves belief in a goal, belief in human kind, and a specific story structure of triumph, failure and learning. You also go over the proper way to write a scholarly or academic paper. The prospect looks daunting. You quickly reevaluate your choice of academia. But the initial interest you held to study a subject of your own choice remains firm. Fortunately, you have completed the books you needed to read at the beginning of the semester. You now begin work on your second assignment: finding research. You spend a day with the class as your professors pull you through a wealth of library resources that you never quite knew about and hope you remember later. And after class, still in the library, you squint at the fine print of a number of dense research books. The drops of insight you search for are few and far between, but, with the list of research terms you developed in class, you manage to find a few sources that look promising. You add them to your initial list of sources, which, together with your preliminary research, constitutes your second class assignment. You glance at the clock, then quickly rise and gather your things. The library will close in a few moments. In the same week, your professors also call your attention to a troublesome idea that had already been at the back of your mind. The Promethean Idea, the subject at the core of your course, had felt very clearly like a perspective of privilege. You read Langston Hughes and Octavia Butler. Each seems like it could follow the Promethean structure, but your class in discussion dredges up the reasons that each work would be problematic if understood in a Promethean light. The discussions lead you into a new perspective on the course material. Your professors also offer a discussion on the parts of the Promethean Idea that lend themselves to practical use, and also misuse. You discuss examples of politicians that have used the idea to justify legislations that lock minority groups into a negative public opinion. Your professors even ask you to question the worth of the course material itself, and ask you to converse over whether or not there can be merits to pursuing a philosophy based on what seems like a fallacy. The conversation leaves your head upturned. But the message of the class ultimately turns out hopeful, as so often discussions of the Promethean Idea seem to do. That night, you think over all you have learned thus far. The thoughts that drift by both intrigue and disquiet you. And, to make matters more interesting, the syllabus reminds you that the first draft of your project is due soon. Your professors told you that your arrival at your thesis was your first triumph, but that your first draft would be your first failure in the story structure of the Promethean Idea. That idea didn’t quite sit well with you. The word “failure” seemed over-harsh. Even though you recognize “failure” as part of the triumphant path of the Promethean Idea that your professors described, you can’t help but feel uneasy. Still, to give the benefit of the doubt to your professors, you write your first draft with its attached works cited page. You also draw on your memory, as you listened closely during the class session earlier in the week where you discussed the factors that constitute constructive criticism. Each professor began with a question; the first with “What constitutes constructive criticism?” and the second with “What measures would you use to determine the ways in which the subject of your review is effective?” The answers of your class both remind you of familiar concepts and enlighten some new methods. You also find, in review of the syllabus, that one fifth of your grade will be based on your review of the works of others in the class! Two other papers from the class will be yours to review after the completion of your draft, according to your assignment specifications. They come to you quickly after you submit your own draft. You edit them thoroughly, and ensure that you provide feedback in accordance with your class’ standards. Then, for a brief moment, your worry over the initial draft slips behind another assignment. Each week of the class thus far, your professors had required you to meet with a research group composed of yourself and two other students.

  • Reviewing Romcom: (100) Imdb Users and (500) Days of Summer
    . Volume 8, Issue 2 November 2011 Reviewing Romcom: (100) IMDb Users and (500) Days of Summer Inger-Lise Kalviknes Bore Birmingham City University, UK Abstract This article contributes to academic debates around the romantic comedy genre and comedy audiences by examining IMDb user reviews of (500) Days of Summer (2009). Directed by Marc Webb for Fox Searchlight Pictures, (500) Days of Summer was promoted with the tagline ‘Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn’t’. This presents the film as an unconventional romantic comedy in at least three ways: Firstly, it suggests that these two characters will not actually end up together, which challenges the idea of the romcom couple as ‘meant to be’. Secondly, it presents the possibility that audiences might not get the happy ending we usually expect from comedy. And finally, the tagline casts the boy, rather than the girl, in the role as yearning romantic, thereby challenging the traditional gender roles of heterosexual relationships. So how did audiences respond to this film? At the time of writing, it has been rated by 75,716 IMDb users, and has an average score of 8.0 out of 10. This clearly suggests a favourable reception, but the IMDb reviews also offer qualitative data that can shed further light on how the film has been evaluated. What kinds of criteria are in operation? What elements do reviewers highlight as important for their experiences of the film? How is the film seen to fail for some viewers? Drawing on previous studies of romantic comedy, the analysis will consider how these particular audience members articulated their responses to (500) Days of Summer, as well as their positions as reviewers.

LIMITATIONS ON COPYRIGHT PROTECTION FOR FORMAT IDEAS IN REALITY TELEVISION PROGRAMMING I. INTRODUCTION Television networks constantly compete to find and produce the next big hit. The shifting economic landscape forged by increasing competition between and among ever-proliferating media platforms, however, places extreme pressure on network profit margins. Fully scripted hour-long dramas and half-hour comedies have become increasingly costly, while delivering diminishing ratings in the key demographics most valued by advertisers. It therefore is not surprising that the reality television genre has become a staple of network schedules. New reality shows are churned out each season.1 The main appeal, of course, is that they are cheap to make and addictive to watch. Networks are able to take ordinary people and create a show without having to pay “A-list” actor salaries and hire teams of writers.2 Many of the most popular programs are unscripted, meaning lower cost for higher ratings. Even where the ratings are flat, such shows are capable of generating higher profit margins through advertising directed to large groups of more readily targeted viewers.

Using the method of rhetorical descriptive analysis I answer the research question: How does P!NK combine rhetorical and musical strategies in “Dear Mr. President” to encourage public discourse? The findings indicate that P!NK crafted a unique protest song which effectively uses both rhetorical and musical devices to appeal to her audiences’ emotions and encourages participation in public discourse.
