    Mock Filipino, Hawai'i Creole, and Local Elitism

    Pragmatics 21:3.341-371 (2011) International Pragmatics Association DOI: 10.1075/prag.21.3.03hir IS DAT DOG YOU’RE EATING?: MOCK FILIPINO, HAWAI‘I CREOLE, AND LOCAL ELITISM Mie Hiramoto Abstract This paper explores both racial and socioeconomic classification through language use as a means of membership categorization among locals in Hawai‘i. Analysis of the data focuses on some of the most obvious representations of language ideology, namely, ethnic jokes and local vernacular. Ideological constructions concerning two types of Filipino populations, local Filipinos and immigrant Filipinos, the latter often derisively referred to as “Fresh off the Boat (FOB)” are performed differently in ethnic jokes by local Filipino comedians. Scholars report that the use of mock language often functions as a racialized categorization marker; however, observations on the use of Mock Filipino in this study suggest that the classification as local or immigrant goes beyond race, and that the differences between the two categories of Filipinos observed here are better represented in terms of social status. First generation Filipino immigrants established diaspora communities in Hawai‘i from the plantation time and they slowly merged with other groups in the area. As a result, the immigrants’ children integrated themselves into the local community; at this point, their children considered themselves to be members of this new homeland, newly established locals who no longer belonged to their ancestors’ country. Thus, the local population, though of the same race with the new immigrants, act as racists against people of their own race in the comedy performances.

More specifically, the creation and international expansion of audiovisual services in the digital arena by US-based companies has taken place. Their global aims have boosted transnational market penetration strategies that have taken advantage of the global architecture of the World Wide Web. With the exception of China, which prohibits their entry and has developed its own services, the rest of the world has seen how US-based transnational operators have begun to act in their markets attracting clients. Subscription video on demand (SVOD) audiovisual services currently lead this process. According to Statista (2021), there were 642 million subscribers to this type of service in 2019 –compared to the 508.44 million registered the previous year– and it is expected that they will surpass 1 100 million by 2025. Within this context, Netflix has become the main transnational company providing SVOD services, 1 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain. [email protected] 2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain.

    The Effects of a Fully Distributed Context on Meetings a Qualitative Case Study at Ericsson

    Linköping University | Department of Management and Engineering Master's thesis, 30 ECTS | Industrial Engineering and Management Spring 2021 | LIU-IEI-TEK-A--21/04189--SE The Effects of a Fully Distributed Context on Meetings A Qualitative Case Study at Ericsson Annie Lund & Carl Älmeby Supervisor: Appu Balachandran Examiner: Solmaz Filiz Karabag Linköping University SE-581 83 Linköping, Sweden +46 013 28 10 00, www.liu.se ii Abstract Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many companies have been forced to make their employees work from home, fully distributed. One of the work aspects affected by this change is meetings. The purpose of this study is to investigate what effects the fully distributed context have on meetings, meeting participants, and meeting leaders. To achieve this purpose, a qualitative single-case study was conducted. The empirical data were gathered from 15 interviews with employees at a large information and communications technology company in Linköping, Sweden. The theoretical framework including the fully distributed context, leadership, motivation, and attitudes, behaviors, and norms is the foundation for the analytical model used to analyze the empirical data. For meetings, it was found that the number of meetings has increased, meetings without fixed end times get longer, meetings need clear agendas and structures, and that meetings are booked in a tighter sequence without room for breaks. Using cameras during meetings increases participation but not if there are many meeting participants or when someone starts sharing their screen. It was found that inter-office meetings work better in the fully distributed context. Discussions are fewer and less lively in fully distributed meetings, but virtual fika1 is a kind of informal meeting that can help employees feel more connected and maintain interpersonal relations.

  • OK, Welcome, Everybody, to Another Guest-Lecture Primetime Here Today

    Andrew Clark: OK, welcome, everybody, to another guest-lecture Primetime here today. We have a wonderful, wonderful guest who’s here doing a master class with the second years and doing a Q&A with you guys today. A hilariously funny standup, a writer for shows such as Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show, and recently… uh, Saturday Night Live, MADtv over the summer, and the author of this book, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Crying, which some of you have brought with you today, and it’s available to be purchased today as well, right after the talk. Right here we’ll have a table set up, you can purchase the book, get it signed, take it home. It’s a fabulous book, it’s a great book, and it’s a great book for anyone who’s aspiring to do anything in comedy, and we’re lucky enough to have the author here today. So please welcome, Carol Leifer. (applause) Check out our high-tech microphones. Carol Leifer: You like how I did that? AC: Yeah. So I guess the very first question, although it’s looked into in your book, is how you got started in comedy. You were around the age of a lot of these students. CL: Yes! I was 21 years old. Can you believe it? That I was, at one time… AC: Sure, absolutely. (laughter) CL: I can’t. It’s a little more difficult when…I just turned 60! (applause) How crazy is that? Well, my story is pretty wild, because while I’m sure, like a lot of you, I was funny in school plays and at camp and that kind of thing, I was shy.
