  • LGBTQ Episodic Television Study Guide
    Archive Study Guide: LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER TELEVISION: SITCOMS AND EPISODIC DRAMAS ARCHIVE STUDY GUIDE The representation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities on television is marked by a history of stereotypes and inexplicable invisibility. By the 1970s, gay media-watch groups communicated their concerns to the television industry and a sense of cooperation began to emerge between the LG BT community and broadcasters. During the 1980s, the AIDS crisis and resulting prejudices ushered in a new era of problematic and offensive portrayals. In the late 1990s, Ellen Degeneres' landmark coming out, (both in real- life, and through the character she portrayed in her sitcom), generated much controversy and discussion, ultimately paving the way for well -developed gay characters in prominent primetime TV roles. Despite such advances, stereotypes continue to resurface and perpetuate, and the full diversity of the LGBT community is more often than not underrepresented in the mass media.

  • Watching Politics the Representation of Politics in Primetime Television Drama
    Nordicom Review 29 (2008) 2, pp. 309-324 Watching Politics The Representation of Politics in Primetime Television Drama AUDUN ENGELSTAD Abstract What can fictional television drama tell us about politics? Are political events foremost rela- ted to the personal crises and victories of the on-screen characters, or can the events reveal some insights about the decision-making process itself? Much of the writing on popular culture sees the representation of politics in film and television as predominately concerned with how political aspects are played out on an individual level. Yet the critical interest in the successful television series The West Wing praises how the series gives insights into a wide range of political issues, and its depiction of the daily work of the presidential staff. The present article discusses ways of representing (fictional) political events and political issues in serialized television drama, as found in The West Wing, At the King’s Table and The Crown Princess. Keywords: television drama, serial narrative, popular culture, representing politics, plot and format Introduction As is well known, watching drama – whether on TV, in the cinema or on stage – usually involves recognizing the events as they are played out and making some kind of judg- ment (aesthetically, morally, or otherwise) of the action the characters engage in. As Aristotle observed: Drama is about people performing actions. Actions put the interests and commitments of people into perspective, thus forming the basis for conflicts and choices decisive to the next course of action. This basic principle of drama was formu- lated in The Poetics, where Aristotle also made several observations about the guiding compository principles of a successful drama.

  • The West Wing and the Cultivation of a Unilateral American Responsibility to Protect
    ARTICLES PRIME-TIME SAVIORS: THE WEST WING AND THE CULTIVATION OF A UNILATERAL AMERICAN RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT AMAR KHODAY ABSTRACT Television programs and films are powerful visual mediums that inject various interpretations about law into the public stream of consciousness and can help shape public perception on various issues. This Article argues that the popular television series The West Wing (“TWW”) cultivated the notion of a unilateral American legal obligation to intervene and protect vulnerable populations from genocide in the context of a fictional African state by mimicking some of the factual circumstances that transpired during the Rwandan genocide. In creating an idealized vision of an American response to such humanitarian crises, the show effectively attempted to re- imagine Rwanda as a beneficiary of United States military force. This Article argues that in advancing a radical vision of unilateral humanitarian military interventions, TWW questionably propagated metaphors and caricatures that persist in human rights discourse as criticized by Makau Mutua—namely that Western states must act as saviors rescuing vulnerable and victimized third world populations from malevolent third world dictatorships. Furthermore, such caricatures deny non-Western populations a certain subjectivity and foster the idea that Western states must always come to the rescue. In addition, these caricatures paint the international community and fellow Western states like France as unwilling or unable to respond to such crises. Lastly, this Article

  • Catherine Cronenberg West Wing
    Seducing the Nation 1 Seducing the Nation: Claudia Jean C.J. Cregg as White House Press Secretary on The West Wing Catherine Cronenberg Master of Arts, Journalism Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] Seducing the Nation 2 ABSTRACT: Women have long faced professional discrimination in traditionally male fields, and the White House press secretary is no exception. As the role of women evolves in American society, it is important to examine the strides females are making in various areas. One crucial area of study is the image in popular culture of public relations practitioners, specifically the White House press secretary because of the enormous power and voice that accompanies the position. The portrayal of fictitious women in these roles has implications in shaping society’s views of those professional women in real life. Studying the causes and effects of discrimination may lead to potential solutions for greater societal problems. In researching for this paper, the original series DVDs were analyzed in order to develop and understand a qualitative analysis of Aaron Sorkin’s projected image of C.J. Cregg. Supplemental texts analyzing the series The West Wing were also consulted for further analysis. Other images of the press secretary or PR practitioner were gained through watching different series. Then the image was contrasted to personal and professional accounts of Dee Dee Myers and other former White House press secretaries. The implications of this research were expanded to broader social themes professional women face, such as family vs. careerism and deep-rooted sexism in society.
