    ENGLISH 2810: Television as Literature (v. 1.0) 9:00 – 10:15 T/Th | EH 229 Dr. Scott Rogers | [email protected] | EH 448 http://faculty.weber.edu/srogers The Course The average American watches about 5 hours of television a day. We are told that this is bad. We are told that television is bad for us, that it is bad for our families, and that it is wasting our time. But not all television is that way. Some television shows have what we might call “literary pretensions.” Shows such as Twin Peaks, Homicide: Life on the Street, The Wire, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Veronica Mars, Battlestar Galactica, and LOST have been both critically acclaimed and the subject of much academic study. In this course, we shall examine a select few of these shows, watching complete seasons as if they were self-contained literary texts. In other words, in this course, you will watch TV and get credit for it. You will also learn to view television in an active and critical fashion, paying attention to the standard literary techniques (e.g. character, theme, symbol, plot) as well as televisual issues such as lighting, music, and camerawork. Texts Students will be expected to own, or have access to, the following: Firefly ($18 on amazon.com; free on hulu.com) and Serenity ($4 used on amazon.com) LOST season one ($25 on amazon.com; free on hulu.com or abc.com) Battlestar Galactica season one ($30 on amazon.com) It is in your best interest to buy or borrow these, if only to make it easier for you to go back and re-watch episodes for your assignments.

Then answer the questions that follow. In Sync (1) Texas is known for its superb high school marching bands. (2) Each week during football season, thousands of students take to the field to display their musical and marching talents. (3) These same students also compete in local, state, and national competitions and exhibitions. (4) However, marching bands aren’t found in just this state or even just this country. (5) But in one country there are marchers who skip the music component all together. (6) Students at Japan’s Nippon Sports Science University, NSSU, participate in an intricate marching-like exhibition known as precision walking. (7) NSSU students have perfected the nearly 50-year-old tradition of shuudan koudou, which means “collective action.” (8) The collective action is a carefully choreographed display of synchronized walking. (9) Identically dressed students walk forward and backward to form lines and shapes, even crossing between one another at times.

I am grateful for all the encouragement, help and ideas he gave me throughout the writing. He was the one who helped me to figure out the subject of my work which I am especially thankful for as it has been such a pleasure working on it! Secondly, I want to thank my boyfriend Patrick who shared enthusiasm for my subject, inspired me, and always encouraged me to keep up even when my mood was down. Also my friend Sarah who gave me a feedback on my thesis was a very big help and I am grateful. A special thank you goes to my parents who always believed in me and supported me. Thanks to all the teachers and professors who provided me with the necessary baggage of knowledge which I will now proudly carry through life. iii Foreword In my previous research paper I wrote about film discourse, thus, this time I wanted to continue with it but have something new, some kind of challenge which would interest me. After a conversation with my thesis guide, Professor Slembrouck, we decided to stick on to film discourse but to expand it.

Happy holidays and welcome to all to our Decem- ber 2008 webinar entitled, “The Challenges of Adoption on the Marital Relationship.” This is another topic that we’ve heard from our audience about specifically hosting a webinar with this topic, so hoping to meet that need during today’s webinar. This discussion, you heard the title, but this discussion will also include so mention, some discussion on the positive aspects of adoption on the marital relationship as well. We have two presenters that are well experienced, also personally have experience regarding adoption and marriage as well, so we hope to meet that need today. My name, again, is Patrick Patterson. I’m the National Healthy Marriage Resource Center Program Manager and will be your facilitator for today’s webinar. Our presenters for today are Steven Durand, Executive Director of the Central Texas Fatherhood Initiative, and Shannon Durand, a trained marriage educator and applied behavioral analysis trainer who works with children with autism and other special needs.

With more than 1,500 volunteers working together, we will host approximately 70,000 people during the three days of Northern Virginia’s largest community-wide celebration. We’re counting on you to help make this event a success! Thank you for your commitment. Many of you have volunteered with us for a number of years. For others, it is a brand-new experience and you may have many questions. Whatever the case may be, we urge you to read this handbook carefully. Even the most experienced volunteers will find new information to learn as the festival changes and grows from year to year. Please feel free to ask questions, make suggestions, or ask for assistance. Other volunteers, leadership team Supervisors, and staff members are all great sources of help and support. Never hesitate to ask how to do something or why something is being done the way it is. You may have a great idea that will help improve the festival for years to come. Volunteers carry out a variety of functions and duties, but all share a common role as an ambassador for Celebrate Fairfax! to every guest, exhibitor, and performer. A smiling face and a friendly attitude are im- portant in ensuring the festival is a pleasant place for everyone. We hope you enjoy your experience at the 2019 Celebrate Fairfax! Festival.

Le jeune Atari, 12 ans, vole un avion et se rend sur l'île pour rechercher son fidèle compagnon, Spots. Aidé par une bande de cinq chiens intrépides et attachants, il découvre une conspiration qui menace la ville. Critique presse : « De fait, ce film virtuose d'animation stop-motion (...) reflète l'habituelle maniaquerie ébouriffante du réalisateur, mais s'étoffe tout à la fois d'une poignante épopée picaresque, d'un brûlot politique, et d'un manifeste antispéciste où les chiens se taillent la part du lion. » Libération - La Rédaction « Un conte dont la splendeur et le foisonnement esthétiques n'ont d'égal que la férocité politique. » CinemaTeaser - Aurélien Allin « Par son sujet, « L'île aux chiens » promet d'être un classique de poche - comme une version « bonza? de l'art d'Anderson -, un vertige du cinéma en miniature, patiemment taillé.
