  • 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.

  • Instructor's Guide
    DRAWN TO THE GODS Religion and Humor in The Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy Instructor’s Guide Dives into a new world of religious satire illuminated through the layers of religion and humor that make up the The Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy. Drawing on the worldviews put forth by three wildly popular animated shows – The Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy– David Feltmate demonstrates how ideas about religion’s proper place in American society are communicated through comedy. The book includes discussion of a wide range of American religions, including Protestant and Catholic Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Native American Religions, New Religious Movements, “Spirituality,” Hinduism, and Atheism. Along the way, readers are shown that jokes about religion are influential tools for teaching viewers how to interpret and judge religious people and institutions. Feltmate develops a picture of how each show understands 304 pages | Paper | 978-1-4798-9036-1 Religion and communicates what constitutes good religious practice as well as which traditions they seek to exclude on the basis of Contents: race and ethnicity, stupidity, or danger.

  • Zachor, Remember! -- but What? and How?
    Zachor, Remember! -- But What? And How? By Jeanette Friedman Introduction As someone who has been involved in Holocaust Education for more than 25 years, and as a daughter of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen survivors who was born in Brooklyn, NY, the only perspective I can offer is one from continued study and my own personal experience, most of it in the United States. I am familiar with materials that are used in suburban public high schools and in some Jewish private schools. I served as Education Coordinator for the then International Network of Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and as a Second Generation Education Liaison to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. I also served as a member of the [Arthur] Goldberg Commission to Examine the Role of American Jews During the Holocaust, which proved to be a valuable experience in determining some of the directions that Holocaust Education needed to take. This took place between the years 1972 and 1985. I realize that Europe is not the United States. On the other hand, we live in a global society, and young people share many, many ideas and attitudes and characteristics, no matter where they live. We also now have media and communication tools we never had at our disposal before, which should make us evaluate how we teach the Holocaust—what are its lessons, and are they true to the legacy the survivors want to leave behind? Below is an examination of what the survivors wanted to accomplish and what they have accomplished. In some areas they succeeded admirably, particularly in the public arena and at the university level.
