De nature qualitative, notre étude de réception se compose de douze entretiens réalisés en compagnie de m~mbres de l'audience du programme. Ces derniers ont été recrutés en ligne sur le forum de l'Internet Movie Database consacré à la série. Nous tentons d'abord de révéler dans quelle mesure le contenu politique est effectivement perçu par nos participants, pour ensuite nous intéresser à la place occupée par le politique dans le développement du goût pour la série et dans la fidé lisation du public. Puis, la troisième partie de notre analyse examine dans quelle mesure nos répondants utilisent ou non Family Guy comme source de réflexion plus générale par rapport aux problématiques politiques occupant l'espace public. Nos résultats nous permettent d ' affirmer que le politique est assez aisément perçu par nos répondants, quoi que certains semblent inconfortables avec l' idée d'ériger Family Guy en programme à teneur politique. De plus, le politique, s'il ne semble pas toujours représenter l'un des éléments attirant les téléspectateurs de prime abord, occupe cependant une place essentielle dans ce qui constitue l'attrait de la série pour les récepteurs assidus. Enfin, nous avons pu relever un certain nombre d ' indices nous permettant d ' affirmer que la série est à l' origine de réflexions et de discussions politiques pour un bon nombre de nos répondants. Ces résultats nous permettent ainsi d ' affirmer que la série offre des occasions d' activation de leur réflexion politique à ses spectateurs, et participe en ce sens à l'espace public par la construction du sens donné aux enjeux politiques. De par sa nature qualitative, notre recherche possède une po1tée limitée et ne peut bien sûr être général isée à l'ensemble du public de la série. Toutefois, nos résultats indiquent

  • Postmodernism: the American T.V. Show, 'Family Guy, As a Politically Incorrect Document
    Postmodernism: The American T.V. Show, 'Family Guy, As a Politically Incorrect Document Tyron Tyson Smith1; Ajit Duara2* 1Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune, Maharashtra, India. 2*Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune, Maharashtra, India. 2*[email protected] Abstract Postmodernism is a movement that grew out of modernism. Movements in art, literature, and cinema focused on a particular stance. The visual artists who created entertainment focused on expressing the creator herself/himself beginning from German expressionism to modernism, surrealism, cubism, etc. These art movements played an important part in what an artist (literature, art, and visual) portrayed to his or her audience. As perspectives played an important part, an understanding of what the artist needed to portray was critical. Modernism dealt with this portrayal, which came about due to the changes taking place in society. In terms of the industry, where the overall product dealt with features like individualism, experimentation and absurdity, modernism dealt with a need to overthrow past notions of what painting, literature, and the visual arts needed to be. "After World War II, the focus moved from Europe to the United States, and abstract expressionism (led by Jackson Pollock) continued the movement's momentum, followed by movements such as geometric abstractions, minimalism, process art, pop art, and pop music." Postmodernism helped do away with these shortcomings. An understanding of postmodernism is explored in this paper. The main point which sets it apart is concepts like pastiche, intersexuality, and spectacle. Concerning pop culture, an understanding of referencing is a constant trait used by postmodern art.

  • Conversational Repair Strategies in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders
    CONVERSATIONAL REPAIR STRATEGIES IN ADOLESCENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS Biji Alice Philip A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2008 Committee: Lynne E. Hewitt, Advisor Mary L. Hare Graduate Faculty Representative Elizabeth I. Burroughs Lauren A. Katz Mark A. Earley © 2008 Biji Philip All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Lynne E. Hewitt, Advisor The purpose of this case study was to explore the conversational repair responses of 3 adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to communication breakdowns that occurred naturally in conversations. Adolescents with ASD are at the threshold of entry into independent living in society where their ability to manage communication breakdowns is essential. Of equal interest to the purposes of this study was describing how individuals with ASD were similar or different from each other in their sources of communication breakdowns, types of clarification requests, and repair responses used. The study used an embedded multiple-case study design to identify the sources of breakdowns, types of clarification requests made by the listener, and the types of repair responses used. Language samples were elicited across two conversational contexts (an Adult-Client context and a Peer with ASD context). A compiled coding system based on coding systems in the existing literature, pilot study findings, and those that emerged from the data was used to analyze the language samples. Results showed that all 3 participants exhibited and repaired breakdowns. Although similarities existed between the 3 participants in the types of repair responses used, they differed from each other in the variety of repair strategies used to resolve the breakdowns.

  • Benjamin Philpot: Managing Risks to Reap Big Rewards
    Spectrum | Autism Research News https://www.spectrumnews.org PROFILES Benjamin Philpot: Managing risks to reap big rewards BY VIRGINIA HUGHES 20 DECEMBER 2012 1 / 5 Spectrum | Autism Research News https://www.spectrumnews.org Family guy: Benjamin Philpot, here with his family on Chiloé Island off the coast of Chile, loves seeing the world through his daughters’ naiveté. In November 2009, Benjamin Philpot's research team experienced what all scientists hope for and most never experience: a Eureka moment. The discovery began many months earlier with a wild idea for finding a treatment for Angelman syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by developmental delay, lack of speech, and seizures. The syndrome is caused by mutations in a gene called UBE3A. In the neurons of healthy people, the copy of this gene inherited from the father is silenced and the maternal copy expressed. In individuals with Angelman syndrome, mutations or deletions on the maternal copy prevent the UBE3A protein from forming. Philpot’s team at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, set out to answer a question that had been floating around scientific meetings and review papers for years: What if a drug could un- silence the paternal copy? Postdoctoral fellow Hsien-Sung Huang began in April 2009 with mice that carry a molecular tag that glows green if the paternal copy of UBE3A is expressed. Arthur Beaudet's team at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston created the mice and shared them with Philpot and others.) Huang first figured out how to grow fragile neurons taken from the outer layers of the mutants’ 2 / 5 Spectrum | Autism Research News https://www.spectrumnews.org brains in plastic plates.

  • SIMPSONS to SOUTH PARK-FILM 4165 (4 Credits) SPRING 2015 Tuesdays 6:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M
    CONTEMPORARY ANIMATION: THE SIMPSONS TO SOUTH PARK-FILM 4165 (4 Credits) SPRING 2015 Tuesdays 6:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M. Social Work 134 Instructor: Steven Pecchia-Bekkum Office Phone: 801-935-9143 E-Mail: [email protected] Office Hours: M-W 3:00 P.M.-5:00 P.M. (FMAB 107C) Course Description: Since it first appeared as a series of short animations on the Tracy Ullman Show (1987), The Simpsons has served as a running commentary on the lives and attitudes of the American people. Its subject matter has touched upon the fabric of American society regarding politics, religion, ethnic identity, disability, sexuality and gender-based issues. Also, this innovative program has delved into the realm of the personal; issues of family, employment, addiction, and death are familiar material found in the program’s narrative. Additionally, The Simpsons has spawned a series of animated programs (South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, Rick and Morty etc.) that have also been instrumental in this reflective look on the world in which we live. The abstraction of animation provides a safe emotional distance from these difficult topics and affords these programs a venue to reflect the true nature of modern American society. Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to provide the intellectual basis for a deeper understanding of The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, and Rick and Morty within the context of the culture that nurtured these animations. The student will, upon successful completion of this course: (1) recognize cultural references within these animations. (2) correlate narratives to the issues about society that are raised.

  • We'll Have a Gay Ol'time: Trangressive Sexulaity and Sexual Taboo In
    We’ll have a gay ol’ time: transgressive sexuality and sexual taboo in adult television animation By Adam de Beer Thesis Presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Film Studies in the Faculty of Humanities and the Centre for Film and Media Studies UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN UniversityFebruary of 2014Cape Town Supervisor: Associate Professor Martin P.

University of Cape Town Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Cape Town. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination at any other university. Adam de Beer February 2014 ii Abstract This thesis develops an understanding of animation as transgression based on the work of Christopher Jenks. The research focuses on adult animation, specifically North American primetime television series, as manifestations of a social need to violate and thereby interrogate aspects of contemporary hetero-normative conformity in terms of identity and representation. A thematic analysis of four animated television series, namely Family Guy, Queer Duck, Drawn Together, and Rick & Steve, focuses on the texts themselves and various metatexts that surround these series. The analysis focuses specifically on expressions and manifestations of gay sexuality and sexual taboos and how these are articulated within the animated diegesis.

After seeing the brief pilot, Fox ex- ecutives green-lighted the series. Says Sandy Grushow, president of 20th Century Fox Television, “Th at the network ordered a series off of eight minutes of fi lm is just testimony to how powerful those eight minutes were. Th ere are very few people in their early 20’s who have ever created a television series.”20 Family Guy made its debut on network television on January 31, 1999—right after Fox’s telecast of the Super Bowl.

Given the size of the audience, Fox believed MacFarlane had produced a hit and off ered him $1 million a year to continue production.
