  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

During this battle, Ameinias failed to capture an enemy commander who held a ten-thousand drachma bounty for ​ the insolence of being a woman. At this battle, the victorious leader had his slave Sicinnus feign defection in order to lure the enemy into position.

In a play by this author, the sudden withering of some roses represents the demise of the title spinster, who waits ​ over twenty years for her fiance to return. This author wrote a play in which a mother is reminded of her husband’s death by her son’s request for a knife; in that play, Death takes the form of an old beggar woman while the Moon is represented by a young woodcutter. Near the end of that work by this playwright, Leonardo Felix and the Groom kill each other. This author’s best known play features an all-female cast, and concerns a matriarch who institutes a lengthy mourning period for her second husband.

  • Commentary by Miriam Saage-Maaβ Vice Legal Director & Coordinator of Business & Human Rights Program European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights July 2012
    How serious is the international community of states about human rights standards for business? commentary by Miriam Saage-Maaβ Vice Legal Director & coordinator of Business & Human Rights program European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights July 2012 Recent developments have shown one more time that the struggle for human rights is not only about the creation of international standards so that the rule of law may prevail. The struggle for human rights is also a struggle between different economic and political interests, and it is a question of power which interests prevail. 2011 was an important year for the development of standards in the field of business and human rights. In May 2011 the OECD member states approved a revised version of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, introducing a new human rights chapter. Only a month later the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) endorsed by consensus the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.1 These two international documents are both designed to provide a global standard for preventing and addressing the risk of business-related human rights violations. In particular, the UN Guiding Principles focus on the “State Duty to Protect” and the “Corporate Responsibility to Respect” in addition to the “Access to Remedy” principle. This principle seeks to ensure that when people are harmed by business activity, there is both adequate accountability and effective redress, both judicial and non-judicial. The Guiding Principles clearly call on states to ensure

  • When the Stars Come Out: Jodie Foster's Queer Families and The
    ((( When the Stars Come Out: Jodie Foster’s Queer Families and the Celebrity Private Sphere Claire Bond Potter Am I your passion your promise your end? I say I am, yes I am Your passion your promise your end, yes I am —Melissa Etheridge1 When Jodie Foster came out at the 2013 Golden Globes, her revelation (such as it was) was greeted with empathy, cynicism, and confusion. What was she saying? Did she actually come out if she didn’t say the word “lesbian?” This should prompt the question—What does it mean for a celebrity to come out in the 21st century? Most of them don’t, even as the larger culture has become dramatically more knowledgeable about and supportive of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (GLBTQ) people. Does a celebrity coming out still matter? Following the 1997 “Puppy Episode” in which her daughter Ellen announced she was a lesbian, GLBTQ activist Betty DeGeneres told fans that: “Coming out is a gift.” But what kind of a gift? And to whom was it given? Like Ellen, some celebrities have come out not just to relieve anxiety about the dissonance between their private and public lives, but also because they have come to believe that they should use their influence on behalf of social justice.

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).
