  • 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.

  • Classic Tv and Faith: Vii - Leave It to Beaver ‘Red and Yellow, Black and White
    “CLASSIC TV AND FAITH: VII - LEAVE IT TO BEAVER ‘RED AND YELLOW, BLACK AND WHITE . .’” Karen F. Bunnell Elkton United Methodist Church August 19, 2012 Galatians 3:23-29 Luke 19:1-10 Life has been different this week without the Olympics on television. I don’t know about you, but I was glued to the TV for two weeks, watching the action. I don’t want to tell you how many nights I stayed up until midnight watching the competition, and then when my alarm went off at 5:30 a.m., turned it back on again. It was so great to watch how well everyone did. Who will ever forget watching Michael Phelps achieve something no other Olympic athlete has ever done? Or who will forget watching Usain Bolt run - “the fastest man alive”? Or the women’s gymnastics team, or the women’s soccer team, or the young American diver who shocked the diving world by winning the gold medal? It was all just wonderful. But you know what I always find really, really inspiring? It’s the closing ceremonies. No, not the opening ceremonies, although this year’s was exceptional, with the Queen appearing with James Bond and all. But the closing ceremonies are always wonderful for one big reason, in my opinion - that all of the athletes come on to the field in a group - all nations, all athletes, all sports - one great, huge group of humanity. They join together across competitive boundaries, and national boundaries, and ethnic boundaries, and language boundaries - they forget all of that and just revel in joy together at what they’ve experienced at the Games! It is absolutely wonderful, and I truly believe, in my heart of hearts, that it is a portrait of the coming kingdom of God - where all dwell together in harmony, as one.

The paper first gives a rationale for studying nontraditional, multicultural families. The paper then presents a 57-item annotated bibliography of books published between 1967 and 1993, divided into sections on grandparents; elderly friends and extended family; dealing with death; homelessness; a new baby; divorce/absent parent; growing and changing; interracial families; and siblings.

The committee arrived at its decision Tuesday after extensively studying the effects permanent closure would have on the rest of the bikeway system. The Physical Planning Committee is expected to approve the Bike Committee’s recommendation at its June 3 meeting.

I am so grateful that she introduced me to historical methods, because I was beginning to become dissatisfied with the limitations of quantitative research. What is more, she was fun to work with, and her offhand knowledge of television is astounding. I am especially grateful to my other committee members, Johanna Cleary and Julian Williams, for being more concerned with helping me improve my work than simply making me follow the rules. Dr. Cleary encouraged me to clarify my theoretical basis (even though historical studies are generally non theory-driven), and the result may be the most important section of my study. I also wish to thank Lynda Lee Kaid, who taught me the basics of content analysis and made the very valuable suggestion that a time shift be imposed on my data, which turned out to be the equivalent of shining a light on my findings. I would most of all like to thank my wife, Susan Allen, for lending moral and material support while I concentrated on graduate school and my mother, for her television expertise and for teaching me to be skeptical.
