  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background of Study the Purpose
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background of study The purpose of this dissertation is to study the intertextual references that are incorporated into the formation of the fictional world of the Nickelodeon animation Avatar: The Last Airbender. These intertextual references are drawn from cultures and practices in our world and fitted into the creation of an animated world. Intertextuality is a concept that does not just appear in written texts but exists in all forms of texts. Chandler (1994, p. 143) notes that not anyone, even for the first time, can “read a famous novel or poem, look at a famous painting, drawing or sculpture, listen to a famous piece of music or watch a famous play or film without being conscious of the context in which the text had been reproduce, drawn upon, alluded to, parodied and so on”. His statement goes to show that intertextuality is everywhere and in everything around us, like the materials we read, the images that we see and the music that we listen to. In this study, we would see how intertextuality plays a heavy role in the portrayal of an animation series. The animation chosen for this study is a unique one, initially targeted for school- going children, but which eventually appealed to a wide range of audiences from various ages and demographics instead. Avatar is created from a blend of Western and Eastern cultures—conceptualized from American producers with backgrounds in Japanese anime and Hong Kong cinema, animated in Korea and voiced by American actors. Thus, this animation does not fall strictly into the category of an American animation or a Japanese anime, but rather, it is a new breed of animation which is a combination of the two.

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF CHILDREN’S MAGAZINES A Thesis Presented for the Master of Arts Degree The University of Mississippi by ELAINE R. ABADIE December 2011 Copyright © 2011 by Elaine R. Abadie All rights reserved ABSTRACT In an effort to illuminate a neglected field of study, this thesis will examine children’s magazines in the United States and the forces shaping them. Children’s magazines reflect the country’s history and attitudes about youth and yet limited research about these important periodicals exists. This look at the development and publication of children’s magazines from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries explores selected periodicals from the printing press to the World Wide Web. Significant aspects of research to be assessed are: (1) the status and role of children’s magazines (2) changes in publishing and marketing from early times to present, and (3) the future of children’s magazines. These periodicals are an important part of the written record of American civilization and an invaluable resource about the tastes, manners, habits, interests, and achievements of United States history.

At the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility (Responsibility.org), we’re inspiring a lifetime of conversations around alcohol responsibility by reaching millions of parents, kids and educators through our strategic programs. One of these programs has been a cornerstone of Responsibility.org as the most widely distributed and long-standing alcohol prevention and education program of its kind: Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don’t Mix. Our goal? Start the conversation about the dangers of underage drinking with kids early and often so they are knowledgeable and resourceful about the ways to avoid risky behavior. Our result? Since the beginning of Ask, Listen, Learn, underage drinking is down and conversations among middle schoolers and their parents about the dangers of underage drinking are up. Success is largely due to the program’s focus on engaging kids with trusted adults and positive role models in order to impact how children perceive alcohol.
