  • Adam Stier, Ties That Bind.Pdf
    Ties That Bind: American Fiction and the Origins of Social Network Analysis DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Adam Charles Stier, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. David Herman, Advisor Dr. Brian McHale Dr. James Phelan Copyright by Adam Charles Stier 2013 Abstract Under the auspices of the digital humanities, scholars have recently raised the question of how current research on social networks might inform the study of fictional texts, even using computational methods to “quantify” the relationships among characters in a given work. However, by focusing on only the most recent developments in social network research, such criticism has so far neglected to consider how the historical development of social network analysis—a methodology that attempts to identify the rule-bound processes and structures underlying interpersonal relationships—converges with literary history. Innovated by sociologists and social psychologists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including Georg Simmel (chapter 1), Charles Horton Cooley (chapter 2), Jacob Moreno (chapter 3), and theorists of the “small world” phenomenon (chapter 4), social network analysis emerged concurrently with the development of American literary modernism. Over the course of four chapters, Ties That Bind demonstrates that American modernist fiction coincided with a nascent “science” of social networks, such that we can discern striking parallels between emergent network-analytic procedures and the particular configurations by which American authors of this period structured (and more generally imagined) the social worlds of their stories.

    The Presence of Performance and the Stakes of Serial Drama: Accrual, Transience, Companionship Elliott Logan MPhil (University of Queensland, 2013) BA, Hons (University of Queensland, 2009) BA (University of Queensland, 2007) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Communication and Arts Abstract This thesis shows how performance is a critically neglected but crucial aspect of serial television drama as an art form. One of serial drama’s obvious storytelling attractions is its ability to involve viewers in relationships between characters over long periods of time. Such involvement takes place through a recurring structure of episodes and seasons, whose unfolding reflects the extensive, ongoing history through which interpersonal bonds form and develop, deepen and decay. The characters we watch onscreen are embodied and performed by actors. Television studies, however, has persistently overlooked screen performance, hampering appreciation of serial drama’s affinity with long-term relationships as a resource for aesthetic significance. Redressing such neglect, this thesis directs new critical attention to expressive stylistic relationships between serial form, screen performance, and the subject of companionship in some recent US serial dramas. The focus of that attention is a particular aesthetic quality: the provisional, which emerges through serial drama’s distinctive tension between permanence and transience. In the first chapter, I argue that the provisional is central to an affinity between screen performance, seriality in television drama, and companionship as an aspect of human life. Chapters Two and Three then show how the art of the provisional in particular series has been underappreciated due to television studies’ neglect of performance and expressiveness as dimensions of serial form in television fiction.

A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF FEMINIST MOTIFS DETERMINED BY PRODUCTION VALUES IN MAD MEN By COURTNEY ALLESSIO A Senior Honors Thesis Submitted to the Department of Communication of Boston College Thesis Advisor: Dr. William E. Stanwood May 2011 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. William Stanwood, who was with me for every step of this process. His dedication and unending support in this endeavor gave me the confidence to pursue and complete my work. I thank my friends who have helped me to work harder, stay calmer, and feel good when it was all over. To the creators of Mad Men, thank you. You are responsible for my Sunday primetime addiction and a good reason to write a thesis. And finally, I express my deepest gratitude to my family. You have always encouraged me to push myself to my outermost limits on with my quest for knowledge. iii ABSTRACT The textual analysis of season four, episode one of Mad Men entitled “Public Relations” study the productions values in terms of feminist motifs. By using social codes developed by Leed-Hurwitz and Barthes’ five systems of meaning in semiotics, observations are made about the elements of the mise-en-scène in relation to the gender roles present in the narrative.

  • Matthew Sweet Tomorrow’S Daughter
    MATTHEW SWEET TOMORROW’S DAUGHTER "When I was young, the artists that I really admired were the ones who always found a way to keep making music and expressing themselves," Matthew Sweet says on the occasion of the release of his 13th solo album Tomorrow's Daughter. "To me, those guys were the real artists, and I've tried to hold on to that attitude in my own work." The seasoned singer/songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist is currently in the midst of a personal musical renaissance that's seen him produce some of the most compelling and ambitious music of his three-decade career. That description applies to Tomorrow's Daughter, on which such instantly memorable new tunes as "Belong," "Run Away," "Lady Frankenstein" and "Out of My Misery" demonstrate his uncanny ability to tap into a bottomless well of pop history to craft music that's effortlessly catchy yet deeply personal. Tomorrow's Daughter—the follow-up to the artist's acclaimed 2017 set Tomorrow Forever—is a persuasive testament to the enduring qualities of Sweet's adventurous, emotion-charged songcraft. The new album's 12 songs abound with the punchy melodic sensibility, playful sonic experimentalism and introspective lyrical insight that have been constants in his expansive catalogue. Tomorrow's Daughter is the product of a burst of creative inspiration that followed Sweet's 2013 return to his native Nebraska, where he reestablished his Black Squirrel Submarine home studio. This period yielded 38 brilliant new songs, 17 of which appeared on Tomorrow Forever. It instantly became clear that this potent body of work merited a follow-up release, hence Tomorrow's Daughter.

  • Sally, Part 33 a Waldorf-Astoria Wedding—1965
    © 2010 Angela Bauer Sally, Part 33 A Waldorf-Astoria Wedding—1965 Fiction by Angela Bauer Nothing could have filled me with such joy as Gene running to greet Bobby and me when we returned to our house in Rye on Sunday, November 21, from a weekend in Manhattan with Daddy and his fiancée Megan Lachaille Calvert. Nanny Walsh told us that during the day Gene had pulled down his own trainers to use the toilet. She was sure Gene would soon be out of diapers at night. Bobby and I exchanged a look. Gene was only twenty-nine months old and soon would be sleeping without a diaper. Bobby was seven and I was eleven, yet we both still needed diapers and plastic panties in bed. Was Nanny Walsh deliberately being spiteful about us? Frankly, with everything else going on, especially Megan asking me to be a bridesmaid, I could care less about disapproval from Nanny Walsh. She knew when she took the job that Gene, Bobby and me needed diapers. By then Bobby was in trainers weekend days and wore regulation cotton underpants to school. So Nanny Walsh only needed to change Bobby once or twice a day. I had been washing nearly all the trainers and sheets since I was nine, until we moved to Rye and Mommy hired so many servants. Mommy had used the DyDee diaper service for years. Nanny Walsh had only pinned me into a diaper once, because Mommy told her to do that after spanking me. Since she had never needed to deal with my wet diapers, I could not see why she was complaining.

ISSN 1659-3316 Junio 2018-Noviembre 2018 Rodríguez Jiménez Leda III Sección: Arte, arquitectura y cine 1 Mad Men (AMC 2007-2015): relato, discurso, ejes temáticos Leda Rodríguez Jiménez. Universidad de Costa Rica, Costa Rica [email protected] https://orcid.org /0000-0002-6235-5507 Recibido: 13 de febrero de 2018 Aceptado: 30 de marzo de 2018 Resumen El presente artículo propone un acercamiento a la serie de televisión Mad Men (AMC, 2007-2015) del guionista, director y productor norteamericano Matthew Weiner. Primeramente, el análisis se enfoca en el relato como suceso y como discurso. Esto quiere decir que considera tanto la instancia relatora –quién o qué narra- como los aspectos que competen a la recepción de la serie –a quién o a qué le narra- y, por tanto, a las diversas propiedades narrativas orientadas a la construcción de la mirada. En segundo término, el ejercicio analítico discurre sobre tres grandes ejes temáticos que, para quién escribe estas líneas, organizan buena parte de la estructura que compone el mundo representado. Estos ejes son: la prostitución como marca (identitaria y corporativa), la maternidad como obstáculo y la mujer como relato masculino. Aunque el artículo tiene sentido en sí mismo, se constituye como la continuación de un trabajo anterior que versa, grosso modo, sobre los espacios, las temporalidades y la forma del relato. Mad Men (AMC, 2007-2015): story, discourse and key ideas Palabras Clave: Series de televisión; Mad Men; relato; discurso; ejes temáticos Abstract This article approaches the television series Mad Men (2007-2015) by scriptwriter, director, and producer Matthew Weiner.

Listan senast uppdaterad 2021-06-10 Karaoken presenteras av I samarbete med Hikari-kai, Sveriges J-rock-förening Raison d’être Pecena Piperka och Feed Me Kpop Den här är rejäl Jag minns inte exakt när det var jag tog över karaokelistan och databasen. När det var jag som började vara ansvarig för uppdateringarna. Det allra tidigaste beviset jag kan finna på en lista som det med hundraprocentig säkerhet var jag som stod för är från december 2014. Så jag har inte riktigt gjort det i ett decennium än. Men jag är rätt säker på att det här är den absolut största uppdateringen jag har gjort. I alla fall är det, utan minsta tvivel, den största uppdateringen på så här kort tid, eftersom det inte ens var två månader sedan den förra listan. Vi hade nämligen förra månaden ett litet event. En karaokemakartävling som löpte över fyra veckor. Summa summarum: Över hundra nya låtar i listan. Plus ett gäng uppdaterade versioner av sånt vi redan hade. Själv har jag se’n sist i princip bara gjort One Piece och Nichijou-låtar, så där finns det diverse nytt att hämta. Högst takt höll Nea, som dessutom fokuserade mycket på nyare populära serier. Så häri kan ni numera hitta musik från Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken, Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, Dr.

  • From Home to the Workplace: Mad Men Or the Irresistible Rise of Women Nicole Rudolph
    From home to the workplace: Mad Men or the irresistible rise of women Nicole Rudolph Mad Men is often viewed as the ultimate sexist TV series. Through an analysis of the behavior of men and women at work and at home, Nicole Rudolph shows, to the contrary, that this series is instead more an illustration of the failure of men in both places. Is it ushering in the era of women in the contemporary city? Spoiler alert! This article reveals key elements of all episodes broadcast to date. Much has been made of the misogyny at the heart of the American melodrama Mad Men, which features the foibles and cocktails of 1960s-era urban advertising executives. The period costumes and period manners (men no longer stand when women enter the room) seem to create a critical distance from which we can tsk-tsk over the “bad old days” of rampant sexism, as well as pervasive homophobia, antisemitism and racism. Like the voyeuristic pleasure of watching women behaving badly in the British television series Absolutely Fabulous, a frisson of moral superiority runs through viewers as we watch men drink themselves senseless and pregnant women smoke like chimneys. “Weren’t we foolish back then?”, we muse. Sexism then and now Feminist journalists haven’t been fooled. Writing for the e-zine Tout ça, Sarah Lemarié (2010) suggests that the show reveals the tragedy of interiorized sexist gender roles and proposes that Mad Men is a reminder to women to be aware of the ways in which contemporary misogyny continues to affect women’s choices.
