Get Over It! Een Onderzoek Naar De Representatie Van De Vrouw in Seizoen 20 Van South Park Get over it! Een onderzoek naar de representatie van de vrouw in seizoen 20 van South Park BA Eindwerkstuk Communicatie en Informatiewetenschappen Door Melissa Sturkenboom Studentnummer 3872580 Docent Pauline van Romondt Vis Datum: 23-1-2017 Aantal woorden: 5994 Samenvatting In dit onderzoek staat de representatie van de vrouw in South Park centraal. South Park is een animatieprogramma op televisie dat regelmatig ingaat tegen dominante denkbeelden waardoor het discours in de maatschappij rondom zo'n denkbeeld verandert (De Beer, 2014). Eerdere onderzoeken naar South Park hebben zich slechts toegespitst op onderwerpen als racisme, taboes en mannelijkheid, maar onderzoek naar de representatie van de vrouw ontbreekt nog. Daarom is de hoofdvraag van dit onderzoek: Hoe wordt de vrouw gerepresenteerd in seizoen 20 van South Park?. Uit onderzoeken naar de representatie van vrouwen en mannen in cartoons blijkt dat vrouwen veelal stereotypisch gerepresenteerd worden, zoals emotioneel en minderwaardig dan de man. Ook komen vrouwen minder voor en hebben ze minder belangrijke rollen. Door het uitvoeren van een content analyse en een discoursanalyse is gebleken dat dit ook het geval is bij South Park. Ze gaan mee met het dominante discours waarin de man superieur is en de vrouw minderwaardig, en mannen zijn overduidelijk dominant. Toch zijn er enkele momenten waarop South Park er wel tegenin gaat, maar dat is onvoldoende om het discours te veranderen. 2 Inhoudsopgave Inhoud Samenvatting ............................................................................................................................... 2 Inhoudsopgave ............................................................................................................................. 3 1.

Inleiding South Park is een van de meest omstreden hedendaagse televisieprogramma’s (Wikipedia, 2016; Schulzke, 2012, p.1). Al sinds de eerste aflevering heeft het de grenzen van de vrijheid van meningsuiting opgezocht, censuur betwijfeld, overheidsbeleid bekritiseerd, belangrijke sociale sleutelfiguren belachelijk gemaakt en soms controversiële posities ingenomen over datgene wat er op dat moment in het nieuws is (Schulzke, 2012, p.1). Het is meer dan een simpele geanimeerde televisieserie: het is onderdeel geworden van vele verschillende publieke debatten over aanstootgevend materiaal op televisie, maar ook ongekend populair en van invloed op de hedendaagse cultuur (Williams, 2008, p.35). Net als Williams stelt ook Schulzke (2012) dat South Park waardevol is om te onderzoeken, vanwege de manier hoe de show omgaat met huidige gebeurtenissen en daarmee het discours rondom die gebeurtenissen beïnvloedt. Onderzoek naar South Park vertelt dus meer over de huidige cultuur en de bijbehorende discoursen in de maatschappij. Er zijn al enkele onderzoeken gedaan naar South Park. Die onderzoeken waren gericht op hoe de grove taal van South Park van invloed is op betekenisgeving (Schulzke, 2012) en hoe satire betekenisgeving beïnvloedt (Frim, 2014). Ook zijn er enkele onderzoeken gedaan naar South Park in relatie tot gender: hoe de portrettering van gender in combinatie met een ‘coming of age’ narratief zorgt voor bepaalde opvattingen en ideeën over het concept gender (Gournelos, 2008), hoe de ‘market masculinity’ (mannen die zich afzetten tegen de consumer culture) naar voren komt in South Park (Gardiner, 2000) en hoe om wordt gegaan met mannelijkheid en cultuur in de South Park film ‘South Park – Bigger, Longer and Uncut’ (Gardiner, 2005). Daarnaast werd ook nog onderzoek verricht naar hoe media door racistische humor te gebruiken toch niet als racistisch worden gezien (Sienkiewicz & Marx, 2009) en hoe homoseksualiteit en seksuele taboes naar voren komen in televisie animaties voor volwassenen (De Beer, 2014). Deze onderwerpen van gender, homoseksualiteit, satire en racistische humor komen in South Park op een unieke en vaak controversiële wijze naar voren. Omdat deze onderwerpen vaak zo uniek weergegeven worden zijn er ook enkele onderzoeken uitgevoerd naar de motivatie van South Park om zo om te gaan met hun onderwerpen. Volgens Becker (2008) is South Park ‘politiek ambivalent’: het heeft geen duidelijke politieke visie, maar laat verschillende ideologische denkbeelden zien (p. 158). Ook volgens Groening (2008) is South Park ‘commited to be uncommited’ (p. 123), en kiest het dus bewust ervoor om niet politiek gekleurd te zijn. Andere onderzoekers (Anderson, 4 2005; Coleman, 2008) stellen echter dat South Park door middel van satire wel een ideologische boodschap uitdraagt en dus wel politiek gekleurd is. Iedereen is het echter eens met het idee dat South Park satire gebruikt om ideologisch geladen commentaar te geven op sociale realiteit (Frim, 2014, p. 151). Doordat South Park de dingen waar ze naar verwijzen in de afleveringen vaak onrealistisch en overdreven of verdraaid weergeven (Frim, 2014, p. 152) worden heersende ideologieën en denkbeelden vaak omgedraaid (Frim, 2014, pp. 166-167). Zo stelt Gournelos (2008) dat South Park hedendaagse ideeën van seksuele identiteit ondermijnt: “South Park examines and disrupts gender norms precisely through multiplicity and fragmentation, demonstrating an emergent paradigm for social activism” (p. 143). Door zo om te gaan met ideeën rondom gender ontstaat dus de mogelijkheid om die normen en ideeën te veranderen. Ook volgens Schulzke (2012) ondermijnt South Park vaak hedendaagse ideeën van seksuele identiteit door het omkeren van populaire inzichten en het ondermijnen van stereotyperingen (p. 26). Daarbij heeft Schulzke het wel over de mannelijke seksuele identiteit en hoe South Park omgaat met homoseksualiteit in de afleveringen. Ook de andere onderzoeken met betrekking tot gender zijn alleen gericht op mannelijkheid en de mannelijke identiteit (Schulzke, 2012; Gardiner, 2000; Gardiner, 2005; De Beer, 2014). De vrouwelijke identiteit wordt echter niet besproken in alle voorgaande onderzoeken van South Park. Alleen Gournelos (2008) bespreekt kort enkele voorbeelden rondom de vrouwelijke identiteit in South Park, maar doet dit slechts aan de hand van één aflevering, en geeft daarbij geen conclusies over de portrettering van vrouwen in South Park. Het is dus duidelijk dat er geen eerder onderzoek gedaan is dat zich specifiek richt op hoe vrouwen geportretteerd worden in South Park. Juist omdat South Park zich niet conformeert aan gendernormen (Gournelos, 2008; Schulzke, 2012) is het interessant om te onderzoeken hoe vrouwen worden neergezet in South Park. Conformeert South Park zich aan stereotyperingen van de vrouw die heersen in de maatschappij of gaan zij hier juist tegen in, net zoals ze bijvoorbeeld met homoseksualiteit hebben gedaan (De Beer, 2014)? Is de manier waarop vrouwen naar voren komen in South Park controversieel of juist niet? Gaan ze mee met de heersende ideologieën of gaan ze ook hier tegen

Professor of Creative Writing THE VIOLENCE ALMANAC Miah Joseph Jeffra San Francisco, California 2018 The Violence Almanac addresses the relationships between natural phenomena, particularly in geology and biology, and the varied types of violence experienced in American society. Violence is at the core of the collection—how it is caused, how it effects the body and the body politic, and how it might be mitigated. Violence is also defined in myriad ways, from assault to insult to disease to oppression. Many issues of social justice are explored through this lens of violence, and ultimately the book suggests that all oppressive forces function similarly, and that to understand our nature is to understand our culture, and its predilection for oppression.

  • 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.

RACIAL SATIRE AND CHAPPELLE’S SHOW by KATHARINE P. ZAKOS Under the Direction of Mary Stuckey ABSTRACT This thesis examines Chappelle's Show’s use of racial satire to challenge dominant stereotypes and the effectiveness of that satire as a tool to achieve perspective by incongruity. I use a variation of D’Acci’s circuit of media study model to examine the institutional challenges and limitations on the show due to the context in which it was created, produced, and distributed; to interrogate the strategies employed by the show’s writers/creators to overcome these challenges through the performance of race; and to analyze the audience’s understanding of the use of racial satire through a reception study of the show’s audience. I argue that using satire often has the unintended consequence of crossing the line between “sending up” a behavior and supporting it, essentially becoming that which it is trying to discount, though this is not to say that its intrinsic value is therefore completely negated.

  • The Troll Who Loved Ice Cream
    The Troll Who Loved Ice Cream Trey’s school has been doing a thing where parents come up and read short stories to the class. The student picks the story. The parent reads the story. Sounds pretty simple, right? Right. Unless your child is Trey and the parent is Me. Instead of picking a story, my child decided that we should write a story. After many days of brainstorming, he finally comes up with, “A story about a grumpy, messy Troll that always eats too much food, and a kid that’s a Scientist who brings the Troll and a beautiful Fairy together so she can take care of him and they can be a family.” So basically, it is The Story Of Us and, while I’m deeply impressed that’s he’s already speaking in metaphor at 7 years old, I’m also slightly hurt that some part of him sees me as a grumpy, messy troll with an eating disorder. But oh well, you can’t have everything. He came up with the story idea, then plotted most of the individual elements. At the last minute, we added a change to the end (mostly for the sake of nuking a few “chapters” and keeping the length down, since I’ve got to read this out loud to his class within a 15-20 minute window), and he did the illustrations. And that, as they say, is that. We just finished it up just now, so it’s probably riddled with spelling, grammar and typographical errors, so shut up.

ASH WEDNESDAY At five-years-old my child fell in love with chess. At six in COVIDtide, I concluded I was soon to lose him. I could no more play chess than I could fly a space shuttle, and the latter seemed more attainable. I was vanquished; convinced that by second grade he would be done with me for good. I should have liked to die. And then he taught me to play. Waking life can be an egoistic haunt. Was I truly defeated, or was I lazy? I had never played chess. I had never been taught. I had never invested in learning. The prophetic voice was deafening. “If kindergarteners everywhere can learn to play chess, why the ____ can’t you?!” No doubt the words of the LORD.

  • Grab Them by the Laugh an Analysis of South Park’S Satire on Donald J
    Örebro universitet Institutionen för humaniora, utbildning och samhällsvetenskap Grab Them By The Laugh An analysis of South Park’s satire on Donald J. Trump and his Presidential Campaign Självständigt arbete 15 hp 2018-01-12 Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap med inriktning film Handledare: Johan Nilsson Författare: Christian Norgren & Kristoffer Hangvar “La Resistance” Abstract The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to analyse how the American adult cartoon sitcom South Park (Parker & Stone, 1997) is criticising Donald J. Trump and his presidential campaign through the use of satire and the relative tools of satire. The show prominently features arguably bizarre plotlines and themes, with usually unexpected outcomes. The subject South Park and satire, both together and separated, has a fair share of previous research in articles and literature. However, South Park’s well-known, sharp, ruthless and absurd satire, in this case, towards Donald J. Trump has shown to be rather under-researched, probably due to the topic being still relatively fresh. Therefore, looking at how South Park effectively uses one of their own original characters, Mr. Garrison, to represent and satirise Donald J. Trump and his presidential campaign is motivated. The thesis is limited to only analysing two episodes from South Park season 19 (S19E02 & S19E08) and South Park season 20 including all ten episodes. South Park episodes does most of the times have two to three plot lines running simultaneously, thus this thesis also imitates itself to only analyse and focus on satire towards Donald J. Trump and his presidential campaign, and not analysing, for example the internet troll controversy based story, known as Skankhunt42.
