SUNRISE NEWS and VIEWS Martha’S Musings Volume 39 Issue 8 August 2019 SUNRISE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SUNRISE NEWS AND VIEWS Martha’s Musings In June, Tom Reid, who often fills our pulpit when I am away, preached a sermon: “Upon Reading Your Newsletter.” In the sermon, he lifted up the life and ministry at Sunrise he discovers as he reads our monthly newsletter. Our newsletter is full of mission we have done – or mission we are planning to do. In the newsletter we highlight fellowship activities and the life of our congregation. It’s full of life. That life spills out of these pages and offers opportunities and possibilities to all of us and to everyone who reads the newsletter. It’s possible that we may fail to realize just how important what we do as Sunrise Presbyterian Church really is. Just this summer Sunrise hosted Heartland Traveling Day Camp. During camp week, 56 kids from kindergarten through 6th grade attended full day camp sessions. They played in water, they read the Bible, they rode horses, they sang – in short they had what many called, “The best week in my year!” That’s mission. It’s mission when a counselor asks if Sunrise had an extra Bible to give to a child who wanted one. It’s mission when our children grow emotionally during the week. It’s mission that costs us dollars to offer – but the results are so worth the cost. This summer we also hosted CASTLE for their 15th year! With 99 children enrolled, the kids had fun with STEM activities, recreation, reading help, field trips and lots of games. One mother noted that her son who had difficulties this year in school, really grew during CASTLE. Her daughter who never wanted to get up in the morning – sprang out of bed to get ready for each day! It’s mission when kids discover learning can be fun. It’s mission when kids advance in schoolwork which has been difficult for them. And it’s mission when children have a great time each day. Again, it’s mission that costs us dollars in building use to offer – but the results are so worth the cost. I’ve not mentioned the sock drive, the Mariner’s Ice Cream Social, our regular offerings to the Emergency Aid Food Bank – and our willingness to help whenever we hear of a need. Tom Reid is correct – upon reading our newsletter we can discover lots of life and mission. BUT it costs money to fully use our building in the heat of the summer. We’ve got wonderful property for play – but it must be mowed. Often our mission offerings are over and above our regular offerings. Summer is a good time to consider an extra gift to the operating fund to help support the wonderful mission Sunrise offered so many children and youth this summer. God calls us to help – and to offer our love and joy – and our money. Can we all help? Love, Martha 1 PAGE 2 SUNRISE NEWS AND VIEWS PRESBYTERY OF NORTHERN KANSAS MEETING HIGHLIGHTS July 20, 2019 The Presbytery of Northern Kansas (PNK) met on Saturday, July 20, 2019 at the First Presbyterian Church in Junction City, Kansas.

  • Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock
    Genders 1998-2013 Genders 1998-2013 Genders 1998-2013 Home (/gendersarchive1998-2013/) Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock May 1, 2012 • By Linda Mizejewski (/gendersarchive1998-2013/linda-mizejewski) [1] The title of Tina Fey's humorous 2011 memoir, Bossypants, suggests how closely Fey is identified with her Emmy-award winning NBC sitcom 30 Rock (2006-), where she is the "boss"—the show's creator, star, head writer, and executive producer. Fey's reputation as a feminist—indeed, as Hollywood's Token Feminist, as some journalists have wryly pointed out—heavily inflects the character she plays, the "bossy" Liz Lemon, whose idealistic feminism is a mainstay of her characterization and of the show's comedy. Fey's comedy has always focused on gender, beginning with her work on Saturday Night Live (SNL) where she became that show's first female head writer in 1999. A year later she moved from behind the scenes to appear in the "Weekend Update" sketches, attracting national attention as a gifted comic with a penchant for zeroing in on women's issues. Fey's connection to feminist politics escalated when she returned to SNL for guest appearances during the presidential campaign of 2008, first in a sketch protesting the sexist media treatment of Hillary Clinton, and more forcefully, in her stunning imitations of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, which launched Fey into national politics and prominence. [2] On 30 Rock, Liz Lemon is the head writer of an NBC comedy much likeSNL, and she is identified as a "third wave feminist" on the pilot episode.

  • Mary, Roseanne, and Carrie: Television and Fictional Feminism by Rachael Horowitz Television, As a Cultural Expression, Is Uniqu
    Mary, Roseanne, and Carrie: Television and Fictional Feminism By Rachael Horowitz Television, as a cultural expression, is unique in that it enjoys relatively few boundaries in terms of who receives its messages. Few other art forms share television's ability to cross racial, class and cultural divisions. As an expression of social interactions and social change, social norms and social deviations, television's widespread impact on the true “general public” is unparalleled. For these reasons, the cultural power of television is undeniable. It stands as one of the few unifying experiences for Americans. John Fiske's Media Matters discusses the role of race and gender in US politics, and more specifically, how these issues are informed by the media. He writes, “Television often acts like a relay station: it rarely originates topics of public interest (though it may repress them); rather, what it does is give them high visibility, energize them, and direct or redirect their general orientation before relaying them out again into public circulation.” 1 This process occurred with the topic of feminism, and is exemplified by the most iconic females of recent television history. TV women inevitably represent a strain of diluted feminism. As with any serious subject matter packaged for mass consumption, certain shortcuts emerge that diminish and simplify the original message. In turn, what viewers do see is that much more significant. What the TV writers choose to show people undoubtedly has a significant impact on the understanding of American female identity. In Where the Girls Are , Susan Douglas emphasizes the effect popular culture has on American girls.

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall 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 August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • Diversity, Difference and Caribbean Feminism: the Challenge of Anti-Racism
    ISSUE 1 ▪ April 2007 Diversity, Difference and Caribbean Feminism: The Challenge of Anti-Racism: Rhoda Reddock Abstract The Caribbean, as with other parts of the New World, has been shaped by racialized constructs since the beginning of its modern history in the late 15th Century. Caribbean history is closely related the emergence of modern racism, usually dated at the point of the encounter between Europe, Africa and the New World. Feminist scholars have contributed a great deal towards deconstructing the categories of ‘race’, ethnicity’ and ‘nation’ and exposing their gendered character. Women, in particular, have been ‘othered’ in relation to each other and positioned as markers of “racial’ ‘ethnic and national difference. This paper analyses the changing ways in which feminist activists of the Anglophone Caribbean women’s movement have addressed issues of ‘race’ and ethnicity. It examines how they have interacted, negotiated, and created alliances and coalitions or sought to challenge racialized hierarchies and divisions in their everyday praxis. The work of the early 20th Century feminists of the Anglophone Caribbean is addressed: women who were conscious of their African/Indian heritage at a time of great European colonial power. It also explores the anti-racist work of feminist activists at the end of that century, in the very different context of Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana at the high point of the Caribbean Women’s movement in the 1980s and 1990s. Introduction In her 2002 Lucille Mathurin-Mair lecture,1 the Guyanese activist, Andaiye, stated: 1Biennial Lecture hosted by the Centre for Gender and Development Studies, UWI, Mona Campus, Jamaica.
