  • The Work of the Critic
    CHAPTER 1 The Work of the Critic Oh, gentle lady, do not put me to’t. For I am nothing if not critical. —Iago to Desdemona (Shakespeare, Othello, Act 2, Scene I) INTRODUCTION What is the advantage of knowing how to perform television criticism if you are not going to be a professional television critic? The advantage to you as a television viewer is that you will not only be able to make informed judgment about the television programs you watch, but also you will better understand your reaction and the reactions of others who share the experience of watching. Critical acuity enables you to move from casual enjoyment of a television program to a fuller and richer understanding. A viewer who does not possess critical viewing skills may enjoy watching a television program and experience various responses to it, such as laughter, relief, fright, shock, tension, or relaxation. These are fun- damental sensations that people may get from watching television, and, for the most part, viewers who are not critics remain at this level. Critical awareness, however, enables you to move to a higher level that illuminates production practices and enhances your under- standing of culture, human nature, and interpretation. Students studying television production with ambitions to write, direct, edit, produce, and/or become camera operators will find knowledge of television criticism necessary and useful as well. Television criticism is about the evaluation of content, its context, organiza- tion, story and characterization, style, genre, and audience desire. Knowledge of these concepts is the foundation of successful production. THE ENDS OF CRITICISM Just as critics of books evaluate works of fiction and nonfiction by holding them to estab- lished standards, television critics utilize methodology and theory to comprehend, analyze, interpret, and evaluate television programs.

Brooklyn, NY/May 10, 2016—BAMcinématek announces the complete main slate for the eighth annual BAMcinemaFest (Jun 15—26), hailed as “New York’s best independent film showcase” (The New Yorker). A 12-day festival presenting premieres of emerging voices in American independent cinema, this year’s lineup features 23 New York premieres and two North American premieres. "This year's annual snapshot of the best of American independent cinema is excitingly eclectic, ranging from a formally adventurous reimagining of post-World War I France to a vampy tribute to 60s erotica shot (and projected!) on 35mm film," says Gabriele Caroti, director of BAMcinématek. "We're thrilled to welcome the great Ira Sachs and Todd Solondz both who join us for the first time with this year's Opening Night and Centerpiece films Little Men and Wiener-Dog.

    A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF TELEVISION’S LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER IMAGES. words and images matter NETWORK RESPONSIBILITY INDEX TABLE OF CONTENTS • TABLE OF CONTENTS TK EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 ABC 8 CBS 10 CW 12 FOX 14 NBC 16 ABC FAMILY 18 FX 20 HBO 22 HISTORY 24 MTV 26 SHOWTIME 28 TBS 31 TLC 32 TNT 34 USA 36 MORE CABLE NETWORKS 38 BIOS 41 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The GLAAD Network Responsibility Index (NRI) is an evaluation of the quantity and quality of images of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgen- der (LGBT) people on television. It is intended to serve as a road map toward increasing fair, accurate, and inclusive LGBT media representations. GLAAD has seen time and again how images of multi-dimensional gay and transgender people on television have the power to change public percep- tions. The Pulse of Equality Survey, commissioned by GLAAD and conducted by Harris Interactive, confirmed a growing trend toward greater acceptance among the American public. Among the 19% who reported that their feelings toward gay and lesbian people have become more favorable over the past 5 years, 34% cited “seeing gay or lesbian characters on television” as a contrib- uting factor. In fact when Vice President Joe Biden endorsed marriage equality this year, he cited the NBC sitcom Will & Grace as one of the factors that led to a better understanding of the LGBT community by the American public. As diverse LGBT images in the media become more prevalent, the general public becomes exposed to the truth of the LGBT community: lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans are parents and teachers, law enforce- ment and soldiers, high school students and loving elderly couples.

  • Decoding Deviance with the Sons of Anarchy
    Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, Vol. 18, No. 2, June 2018, pp. 90-104. doi:10.14434/josotl.v18i2.22515 Decoding Deviance with the Sons of Anarchy Joseph Kremer Washington State University [email protected] Kristin Cutler Washington State University Abstract: This article explicates the ways that the popular television series Sons of Anarchy in conjunction with our content analysis coding tool can be used to teach theories and concepts central to Sociology of Deviance courses. We detail how students learned to understand deviance as a social constructed phenomenon by coding and analyzing the behaviors of their most liked and most hated Sons characters. Evidence extrapolated from students’ final projects, class discussions, and course evaluations suggests that this pedagogical technique creates a systematic teaching method enabling students to more actively engage in the course while enhancing connections to the course materials. Keywords: deviance, social construction of deviance, popular culture, content analysis Using television and film as a pedagogical tool in sociology is far from a new phenomenon. Scholars have attested to the fact that using television and film helps bring to life abstract sociological theories and concepts, helps to better engage students with course materials, and as a result stimulate their sociological imaginations (Burton, 1988; Champoux, 1997; Demerath III, 1981; Donaghy, 2000; Eaton & Uskul, 2004; Hannon & Marullo, 1988; Hutton & Mak, 2014; Khanna & Harris, 2015; Livingston, 2004; Loewen, 1991; Melander & Wortmann, 2011; Nefes, 2014; Trier, 2010; Wosner & Boyns, 2013). For example, when speaking to the benefits of using the cinema as a teaching tool Champoux (1999) states: “viewers are not passive observers.

Christian Greer Harvard University Amy Hale Independent Scholar In her primer to esotericism Sane Occultism (1938), Dion Fortune declared “it may be axiomatic that any one who suggests the use of drugs for raising consciousness is definitely on the Left-hand Path.” Her appraisal seems particularly incongruous with respect to psychedelic culture, popularly identified with the promotion of peace, love, and mystical oneness. Popular appearances aside, Fortune astutely identified a potent subzeitgeist that subsequently emerged within the psychedelic milieu. This roundtable explores some of the psychedelic figures, movements, and teachings that draw upon an explicitly sinister aesthetic as their source of power. Dr. Erik Davis will excavate the weird fictions whose renewed popularity in the 60s and 70s helped construct a dark visionary template for the drug culture. Dr. James Riley will consider J.X. Williams’ allegedly “cursed” film The Virgin Sacrifice (1969) as an example of “acid horror”: a potent, talismanic mix of psychedelia and ritual imagery. Dr. Amy Hale will explore the unsettled spaces between object and subject that surround the dark psychedelic feminine, from the art and ritual of the mid-century magician Marjorie Cameron to the occult and violently speculative worlds of Tai Shani. Dr. J. Christian Greer will offer an analysis of the reception history of Charles Manson, who was hailed as a hero and inspiration for psychedelic ideologues in the 1980s.
