Iowa Journal of Cultural Studies is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). https://ir.uiowa.edu/ijcs Mediasprawl: Springfield U.S.A. Douglas Rushkoff The Simpsons are the closest thing in America to a national media literacy program. By pretending to be a kids’ cartoon, the show gets away with murder: that is, the virtual murder of our most coercive media iconography and techniques. For what began as entertaining interstitial material for an alternative network variety show has revealed itself, in the twenty-first century, as nothing short of a media revolu­ tion. Maybe that’s the very reason The Simpsons works so well. The Simpsons were bom to provide The Tracey Ullman Show with a way of cutting to commercial breaks. Their very function as a form of media was to bridge the discontinuity inherent to broadcast television. They existed to pave over the breaks. But rather than dampening the effects of these gaps in the broadcast stream, they heightened them. They acknowledged the jagged edges and recombinant forms behind the glossy patina of American television and, by doing so, initiated its deconstruction. They exist in the outlying suburbs of the American media landscape: the hinter­ lands of the Fox network. And living as they do—simultaneously a part of yet separate from the mainstream, primetime fare—they are able to bear witness to our cultural formulations and then comment upon them.

The Fifth Simpsons Packet Toss-Ups 1. The Simpsons' first Emmy win for Outstanding Music and Lyrics in 1997 came for "We Put The Spring In Springfield". It's second came one year later, with a song that involved no traditional Simpsons cast members. It is, however, a relatively elaborate number - moving from Los Angeles to elsewhere in California - all while never leaving New York. Oh, and it also involves strapping down Liza Minelli. For ten points, name this song, a key feature of the Broadway play "Kickin' It". ANSWER: You're _CHECKING IN_ (accept ''I'm Checking In") (accept "We Put The Spring In Springfield" before it's said) 2. Its adjunct gets its name from Chief Starving Bear, and it's located on Bid Snake Lake and below Mount Avalanche. It was originally run by Mr. Black - afterwards, it was worse than Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq put together. For ten points, name this Krustiest place on Earth. ANSWER: _KAMP KRUSTY_ 3. The answer is sort of a tie. In any case, it does not involve running around a beer truck or marrying Marge. It may involve a Krustyburger, an hour-long episode of Mama's family, and Lisa's birth. However, it's probably involves skipping church, winning a radio contest, making moon waffles, and finding a penny. For ten points, what am I talking about? ANSWER: _BEST DAY OF HOMER'S LIFE_ (accept equivalents) 4.

  • Simpsons and The
    "The Simpsons" and the Law: Revealing Truth and Justice to the Masses By Kevin K. Ho* I. INTRODUCTION In Law, Lawyers, and Popular Culture, Lawrence Friedman argues that legal culture and popular culture share a symbiotic relationship, with popular culture transmitting distorted information about the law to a generally ignorant public.' Friedman notes that relatively few members of the general public read casebooks, statutes, or administrative rules, unless they themselves need access to the legal system. 2 He theorizes that, as legal culture becomes more Byzantine and removed from the mainstream, popular culture will remain the main source of legal information for the general public. Unfortunately, it appears likely that members of the public will be even more reluctant to access the legal system after they have been exposed to the negative depictions of both the law and the legal actors often seen in the contemporary media. Furthermore, when this reluctance is considered in light of the fact that entertainment value is paramount in popular media, the prospects for an actual increase in the * J.D.

  • The Simpsons and the Savior Teacher/Deficit Parent in Popular Culture
    PennGSE Perspectives on Urban Education (https://urbanedjournal.gse.upenn.edu) Home > The Simpsons and the Savior Teacher/Deficit Parent in Popular Culture THE SIMPSONS AND THE SAVIOR TEACHER/DEFICIT PARENT IN POPULAR CULTURE Rowan Shafer Simon Fraser University Abstract: The savior teacher/ deficit parent narrative has become a public pedagogy in America, evidenced by the rise of Teach for America, and the threat of extreme neoliberal education reforms by the Trump administration. In this paper, I examine how the popular television show, The Simpsons, upholds and challenges familiar tropes of the savior teacher/ deficit parent narrative. Drawing on Michael Apple’s theory of the enterprising individual as a trait of neoliberal education ideology, I analyze the ways in which the episode “Lisa’s Substitute” strays from predictable narratives through a focus on parent/ child relationship vs. teacher/ student relationship. I conclude that while this episode highlights and satirizes tropes of the savior teacher/ deficit parent narrative, ultimately, the resolution does not challenge assumptions about working class parents as a barrier to their children’s success or the missionary role of teacher saviors. Introduction From Jamie Escalante in Stand and Deliver (Musca, & Menéndez, 1988) to Ms. Johnson in Dangerous Minds (Simpson & Brukheimer, 1995), savior teachers remain familiar figures in popular texts about school. In the context of the neoliberal focus on teachers as a problem in need of reform, “the savior teacher” script remains popular in film and television, positioning this larger than life figure as an outsider coming in and singlehandedly changing students’ lives. This paper focuses on the representation of the savior teacher in Matt Groening’s cartoon television series The Simpsons.

  • 'I'm Bart Simpson, Who the Hell Are You?
    ‘‘I’m Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?’’ A Study in Postmodern Identity (Re)Construction BRIAN L. OTT Performance – The semiotics of self. (O’Sullivan et al. 222) AM SITTING AT MY COMPUTER MULLING OVER THE THREE OR FOUR acceptable conventions for beginning a scholarly article under Ithe watchful eye of my Bart Simpson doll perched amid my media theory books on the shelf just above me. I carefully reach for the bright yellow and blue plastic toyFa gift from an old friend, former colleague, and fellow Simpson fanatic several years agoFand gently tug at the tiny white cord protruding from its back. Without hesitation, Bart comes alive, impertinently inquiring, ‘‘I’m Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?’’ At the request of this great cultural icon and postmodern philosopher, I pause to consider who the hell I am, and what, if anything, it has to do with the doll I now hold in my hands. We are frequently, of course, told in a media-laden landscape that identity is closely tied to the active consumption of products offered by the media and leisure industries (Kellner 231–62; Featherstone). That I proudly display the Bart doll in my office, along with a host of other Simpson-related merchandise, does seem to suggest that I desire others to read and mark me as a Simpson fan. Continuing to reflect on my sense of self, I decide that the form of Bart’s question, like the doll itself, is also instructive, as it alludes to a fundamental feature of The Journal of Popular Culture, Vol.

Authors: Klarreich, Erica Source: Science News; 6/10/2006, Vol. 169 Issue 23, p360-364, 2p, 2 color Document Type: Article Subject Terms: SIMPSONS, The (TV program) TELEVISION programs FERMAT, Pierre de, 1601-1665 MATHEMATICS EQUATIONS Abstract: This article discusses mathematical references on the television program "The Simpsons." In the 1995 Halloween episode of the award-winning animated sitcom "The Simpsons," two-dimensional Homer Simpson accidentally jumps into the third dimension. During his journey in this strange world, geometric solids and mathematical formulas float through the air, including an innocent-looking equation: 178212 + 184112 = 192212. A fan remarked that the equation disproved Fernat's last theorem, referring to the famous claim by Pierre de Fermat--proved just months earlier--that for any exponent n bigger than 2, there are no nonzero whole numbers a, b, and c for which an + bn = cn. "The Simpsons" equation, if correct, would be a counterexample to the theorem, meaning that the proof had been wrong. Other examples of high-level mathematical problems in "The Simpsons" are also discussed.
