  • ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media
    ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation Yueqin Yang, M.A. Mentor: Douglas R. Ferdon, Jr., Ph.D. This thesis commits to highlighting major stereotypes concerning Asians and Asian Americans found in the U.S. media, the “Yellow Peril,” the perpetual foreigner, the model minority, and problematic representations of gender and sexuality. In the U.S. media, Asians and Asian Americans are greatly underrepresented. Acting roles that are granted to them in television series, films, and shows usually consist of stereotyped characters. It is unacceptable to socialize such stereotypes, for the media play a significant role of education and social networking which help people understand themselves and their relation with others. Within the limited pages of the thesis, I devote to exploring such labels as the “Yellow Peril,” perpetual foreigner, the model minority, the emasculated Asian male and the hyper-sexualized Asian female in the U.S. media. In doing so I hope to promote awareness of such typecasts by white dominant culture and society to ethnic minorities in the U.S. Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation by Yueqin Yang, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of American Studies ___________________________________ Douglas R.

  • Guidelines for Television Criticism
    09-O’Donnell.qxd 2/13/2007 10:27 AM Page 199 9 Guidelines for Television Criticism Introduction Now that you understand the various aspects of television as a business, pro- duction procedures, television style, narrative, genre, elements of rhetoric and cultural studies, representation, and postmodernism, you are ready to do an in-depth analysis of a television program or an episode from a series. Whether you select fiction or nonfiction programming is entirely up to you. Select a program that you can record and will not mind viewing several times because you will need to examine several aspects of it. Select a program that you want to question or one with which you are familiar. As stated in Chapter 1, it is perfectly acceptable to analyze a favorite program or one that suits your inter- ests and tastes. Your goals are to understand the various elements of a televi- sion program, to analyze it, to interpret possible meanings, to judge the quality of the program, and to communicate your assessment in writing. This chapter brings together the elements of the previous chapters into eight sections: (1) critical orientation; (2) story and genre; (3) organization; (4) demographics; (5) context; (6) the look of the program and its codes; (7) analysis; and (8) judgment. Each category includes questions that you can ask about a television program. Depending on what you want to know about the program, you can select a few or all of the categories. Not all the questions will be relevant to the program you have selected, so you can 199 09-O’Donnell.qxd 2/13/2007 10:27 AM Page 200 200—— Chapter 9 choose the questions that are most pertinent.

  • November 19, 2012 Declaration of Timothy Brooks I. INTRODUCTION
    Public Version November 19, 2012 Declaration of Timothy Brooks I. INTRODUCTION 1. I have been retained by Game Show Network, LLC to analyze data pertaining to its cable network, GSN, and competing networks affiliated with Cablevision Systems Corporation, namely WE tv and Wedding Central, as well as certain other networks. 2. Based on the data I have examined, I conclude that GSN is similar in audience appeal to WE tv, that GSN was a significant competitor to WE tv for audience, advertising and programming, both in the New York market and nationally, prior to its being repositioned by Cablevision to a narrowly penetrated tier, and that WE tv benefited following the removal of its competitor from wide distribution on its systems. These conclusions are based on national and New York-area Nielsen ratings and demographic data, including data specific to the Cablevision coverage area, as well as on data obtained from other independent third-party measurement services, including Beta Research and Gfk MRI. The data indicate that GSN and WE tv both appeal strongly to women, that GSN and WE tv are very competitive in terms of their performance in standard Nielsen demographic categories (based on gender and age), and that their audiences are similar attitudinally. Cablevision also gave more favorable distribution to Wedding Central, a new network it owned which appears to have attracted little audience and which was discontinued after less than two years. 3. Based on my analysis, I also conclude that GSN has been harmed by Cablevision’s negative repositioning of GSN to the sports tier--a little-seen tier that is ill- suited for GSN--in terms of reduced audience levels, lack of exposure to important New York advertising professionals, and therefore reduced revenue.1 II.

  • Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television
    Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television A Thesis Submitted to School of Geography, Politics, and Sociology For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cheng Qian September, 2019 !i Negotiating Images of the Chinese: Representations of Contemporary Chinese and Chinese Americans on US Television ABSTRACT China's rise has led to increased interest in the representation of Chinese culture and identity, espe- cially in Western popular culture. While Chinese and Chinese American characters are increasingly found in television and films, the literature on their media representation, especially in television dramas is limited. Most studies tend to focus on audience reception with little concentration on a show's substantive content or style. This thesis helps to fill the gap by exploring how Chinese and Chinese American characters are portrayed and how these portrayals effect audiences' attitude from both an in-group and out-group perspective. The thesis focuses on four popular US based television dramas aired between 2010 to 2018. Drawing on stereotype and stereotyping theories, applying visual analysis and critical discourse analysis, this thesis explores the main stereotypes of the Chinese, dhow they are presented, and their impact. I focus on the themes of enemies, model minor- ity, female representations, and the accepted others. Based on the idea that the media can both con- struct and reflect the beliefs and ideologies of a society I ask how representational practice and dis- cursive formations signify difference and 'otherness' in relation to Chinese and Chinese Americans. I argue that while there has been progress in the representation of Chinese and Chinese Americans, they are still underrepresented on the screen.
