  • Portrayals of Stuttering in Film, Television, and Comic Books
    The Visualization of the Twisted Tongue: Portrayals of Stuttering in Film, Television, and Comic Books JEFFREY K. JOHNSON HERE IS A WELL-ESTABLISHED TRADITION WITHIN THE ENTERTAINMENT and publishing industries of depicting mentally and physically challenged characters. While many of the early renderings were sideshowesque amusements or one-dimensional melodramas, numerous contemporary works have utilized characters with disabilities in well- rounded and nonstereotypical ways. Although it would appear that many in society have begun to demand more realistic portrayals of characters with physical and mental challenges, one impediment that is still often typified by coarse caricatures is that of stuttering. The speech impediment labeled stuttering is often used as a crude formulaic storytelling device that adheres to basic misconceptions about the condition. Stuttering is frequently used as visual shorthand to communicate humor, nervousness, weakness, or unheroic/villainous characters. Because almost all the monographs written about the por- trayals of disabilities in film and television fail to mention stuttering, the purpose of this article is to examine the basic categorical formulas used in depicting stuttering in the mainstream popular culture areas of film, television, and comic books.' Though the subject may seem minor or unimportant, it does in fact provide an outlet to observe the relationship between a physical condition and the popular conception of the mental and personality traits that accompany it. One widely accepted definition of stuttering is, "the interruption of the flow of speech by hesitations, prolongation of sounds and blockages sufficient to cause anxiety and impair verbal communication" (Carlisle 4). The Journal of Popular Culture, Vol. 41, No.

  • The Kevin Bacon Game
    Networks Final Project Revised August 2018 The Kevin Bacon Game Have you ever run into a friend somewhere you didn’t expect to? Have you ever met someone new and found out you had friends or family in common? When this happens, we often say Well, there’s a network for that! Small world networks are a type of network used to model a social group or social connections. Q: Why are they called small world networks? A: In a small world network, the path from any given node to any other node will be relatively short. In other words, the mean path length is short. (ericwrobbel.com) Networks 2: The Kevin Bacon Game 1 Networks Final Project Revised August 2018 The popular idea of the six degrees of separation, first explored by psychologist Stanley Milgram in the 1950s, describes human society as a small world network where the mean path length is six. (If you’re not familiar with the idea of the six degrees of separation, click here to learn more.) Look at the graph to the left. Is there a path longer than 6 steps? Pick any starting node in the graph/network on the left. Now pick an ending node. Count the number of edges between them. This is the length of your path. (Wikipedia) The Kevin Bacon game came out of the idea of the six degrees of separation, and is sometimes called the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Given any actress or actor, the goal is to link that person to Kevin Bacon in the least amount of steps possible.
