  • Constructing, Programming, and Branding Celebrity on Reality Television
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Producing Reality Stardom: Constructing, Programming, and Branding Celebrity on Reality Television A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television by Lindsay Nicole Giggey 2017 © Copyright by Lindsay Nicole Giggey 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Producing Reality Stardom: Constructing, Programming, and Branding Celebrity on Reality Television by Lindsay Nicole Giggey Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor John T. Caldwell, Chair The popular preoccupation with celebrity in American culture in the past decade has been bolstered by a corresponding increase in the amount of reality programming across cable and broadcast networks that centers either on established celebrities or on celebrities in the making. This dissertation examines the questions: How is celebrity constructed, scheduled, and branded by networks, production companies, and individual participants, and how do the constructions and mechanisms of celebrity in reality programming change over time and because of time? I focus on the vocational and cultural work entailed in celebrity, the temporality of its production, and the notion of branding celebrity in reality television. Dissertation chapters will each focus on the kinds of work that characterize reality television production cultures at the network, production company, and individual level, with specific attention paid to programming focused ii on celebrity making and/or remaking. Celebrity is a cultural construct that tends to hide the complex labor processes that make it possible. This dissertation unpacks how celebrity status is the product of a great deal of seldom recognized work and calls attention to the hidden infrastructures that support the production, maintenance, and promotion of celebrity on reality television.

  • Rob Kardashian, His Then-Fiancée Blac Chyna and Their Pregnancy/Newborn Daughter, for One Season
    The Neoliberal Life of the “Failing” Kardashian: Robert Kardashian On (Not) Keeping up with the Kardashians Leah Groenewoud (Third year, RLCT/GEND Major) GEND 3076 Dr. Wendy Peters April 5, 2015 Introduction Keeping up with the Kardashians (KUWTK) is a reality television show that follows the lives of the Kardashian family – a famous, upper-class Californian family consisting of Kris Jenner (the Kardashians’ mother and business manager), her (now ex-) husband Caitlyn Jenner and their children. Kris’ children include Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Robert Kardashian, and Kris and Caitlyn have two younger children, Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Rob & Chyna is a reality TV spin-off of KUWTK which followed Rob Kardashian, his then-fiancée Blac Chyna and their pregnancy/newborn daughter, for one season. This paper will employ a textual analysis of these two shows to analyze how Robert Kardashian’s life and life choices are portrayed as personal failures. Conversations and information about Rob – in the 12 episodes across 6 seasons of KUWTK, and 6 episodes of season 1 of Rob & Chyna which I studied – are consistently about how Rob must change, and that he is not happy or successful the way he is. Robert Kardashian is consistently portrayed as a failure, which this paper will clarify to mean a neoliberal failure. This paper will analyze the neoliberal logics of the narratives about Robert and the way he lives, including narratives about his health, his (lack of) independence and self-esteem, his marriageability and employability.i I will conclude with an analysis of how KUWTK and Rob & Chyna facilitate a ‘panoptic existence’ for Rob, in which his family, the viewers and even himself surveil and regulate Rob.

  • The Kardashians and the Ruminating Strategy
    Sociology Study, July 2018, Vol. 8, No. 7, 345‐350 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2018.07.005 DAVID PUBLISHING The Kardashians and the Ruminating Strategy Claudia Lisa Moellera Abstract Many have wondered in these years about the reason behind the huge success the Kardashian (‐Jenner) family raised and gained. Even if the reality show might not be one of the most innovative, nor original television products, it is impossible to see how the Kardashian’s clan managed to become something more than a family who likes to air their dirty (and maybe expansive) laundry in public. Albeit there are different reality shows that have portrayed almost every possible family: religious, heavy metal, gipsy, wealthy Californian, dysfunctional, party animals; the Kardashians celebrated in 2018 their 10 years of reality shows. This might appear a silly, and not even a big deal: TV shows have existed for longer time in the American (and not only) panorama, yet the Kardashian made it possible to conquest with their unique style, and communication strategy something that other reality shows families did not reach. What did the Kardashians do? The Kardashians created a new communication strategy that allowed them to be the most popular family on three different media: press, television, and social media. Keywords Kardashian, Søren Kierkegaard, hermeneutics of television, internet and television, reality shows The Kardashians forged a new type of communication Indeed, the Kardashians’ material is rarely new. strategy that involves different media, in which every The ability of this family and the key of their success media explains and gives different elements to rely on the ability to use and re-use the same material understand part of the story that another media has and stories all over again.

As authors we have both worked on reality formats and now as academics, we are able to deconstruct the format of these types of shows from an insider’s point of view. In this essay we go behind the scenes of the popular reality TV show to reveal the mechanics of the television format, explain the casting dynamics, as well as the key ingredients that go into a successful reality series, from a programme maker’s point of view. Before KUWTK, the Kardashians were a well known wealthy family on the social scene in Los Angeles, who had gained notoriety courtesy of lawyer father Robert Kardashian, who was most famous as OJ Simpson’s trial lawyer.

  • The Framing of Caitlyn Jenner
    THE FRAMING OF CAITLYN JENNER: A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS by MORGAN RENAE PETTWAY KENON BROWN, COMMITTEE CHAIR CARYL COOPER ADAM SHARPLES-BROOKS A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Advertising and Public Relations in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2017 Copyright Morgan Pettway 2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT In April 2015, Caitlyn Jenner, formally known as Bruce, announced that she was transitioning into a woman. Through the observation of framing models and framing devices, a textual analysis was conducted within print and audiovisual data to gain an understanding of how framing was used to manage or shape Jenner’s unfolding image as a transgender woman. The researcher also investigated the overall tone of Jenner’s representation to decipher whether she was portrayed in a negative or positive manner. Based upon the findings, the prominent framing models that were observed in the texts were the framing of situations and the framing of attributes. The prominent framing devices of contrast and spin were also present. Furthermore, the findings indicated that Jenner was portrayed in an overall positive manner. The findings of this study build upon the current knowledge of framing and demonstrate the utility of framing in the management of a transgender celebrity’s image. The utility of framing is also presented as an opportunity for application among other celebrity happenings in the media. ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to the family members and friends that supported me through this extensive process. Your love, support and wisdom kept me encouraged throughout the creation and completion of this study.

    Volume 4, Issue 2 Article 3 2018 Keeping up with Hollywood’s Valley Girls: A Lifespan Study Exploring the Kardashian Sisters’ Use of Traditional and Non-Traditional Likes Iris Bakker [email protected] ISSN: 2057-1720 doi: 10.2218/ls.v4i2.2018.2914 This paper is available at: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/lifespansstyles Hosted by The University of Edinburgh Journal Hosting Service: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/ Keeping up with Hollywood’s Valley Girls: A Lifespan Study Exploring the Kardashian Sisters’ Use of Traditional and Non-Traditional Likes Iris Bakker This paper looks at traditional and non-traditional (stigmatised) variations of like through a 10-year longitudinal panel study using the readily available speech of reality stars Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian. With this unique dataset, this paper compares their use of traditional and non-traditional likes and looks at possible patterns to further understand age-based correlations of these features. An analysis of the data shows a relatively stable trend in their use of non-traditional likes, supporting theories that suggest the feature is not subject to the lifespan change associated with age-grading. Speech accommodation theory is proposed as an explanation for the patterns found. 1 Introduction The incredibly versatile like fulfils many different grammatical functions and has various different meanings. Standard, traditional uses of like are as a verb, noun, adverb, conjunction, or suffix (D’Arcy 2007). More non- standard, non-traditional forms are the quotative like, introducing direct speech, and the discourse marker and particle like, supposedly randomly inserted into sentences (D’Arcy 2007). The history of these non-traditional likes is not exactly known, although it is often suggested that they are recent additions to the English language and were introduced and popularised in California, with the so-called “Valley Girls” (D’Arcy 2007).
