30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network. -

ONSLAUGHT: COMMERCIAL SPEECH AND GENDER INEQUALITY Tamara R. Pietyt ABSTRACT Utilizing Dove's infamous "Onslaught" viral ad, this Article explores the ways commercial speech constructs images of and attitudes toward women that interfere with full equality for women. Advertising and marketing contribute to creating a social reality in which it is taken for granted that women must spend a great deal of time on appearance and that appearance is of critical importance to life success. As is typical for much advertising, it often does this by stimulating anxiety. Such anxiety may contribute to low self-esteem, lowered ambitions and stereotype threat reactions, as well as to biased reactions on the part of others-all of which may serve as obstacles to women achieving greater equality. The barrage of images which portray women as sexual objects or commodities also sends a message in some tension with full equality for women and may similarly lead to harmful self-conceptions on the part of women, as well as leading both men and women to view women as less competent. -
View of the Many Ways in Which the Ohio Move Ment Paralled the National Movement in Each of the Phases
INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While tf.; most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. -
From the Head of School
From the Head of School December 2007/January 2008 Dateline: Johannesburg, South Africa My time in South Africa has left me asking Shakespeare’s question, ‘What’s in a name?’ I went seeking partnerships with the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls and African Leadership Academy (ALA), two schools in Johannesburg that are committed to developing the next generation of African leaders. I went to forge relationships that will be beneficial to our school and to these two Leadership Academies. Castilleja’s global education initiatives will clearly be enhanced by these relationships, but what do we bring to the table? Make no mistake about it: I was asked that question often, beginning just a few hours after our 22-hour trip from San Francisco. That first night John and I went out to dinner with John’s longtime friend and colleagueCharlayne Hunter-Gault, until recently CNN’s bureau chief for South Africa, and her husband, business leader Ron Gault. After an invaluable orientation to the current social, political and economic climate of the city and country, they cut to the chase. “What makes you think you can help or that these schools will want your help?” It was a gentle but direct warning about the danger of coming across as ‘educational imperialists,’ a sensitive issue in a country that has only recently shaken off the shackles of white rule. Forewarned, I resolved to keep quiet about our 100 years of educating women to be leaders. As it turned out, I needn’t have worried, because Castilleja’s reputation preceded me, and the leaders at each Leadership Academy asked questions and sought my advice. -

During this battle, Ameinias failed to capture an enemy commander who held a ten-thousand drachma bounty for the insolence of being a woman. At this battle, the victorious leader had his slave Sicinnus feign defection in order to lure the enemy into position. The losing commander built a throne on Mount Aigaleo to observe this battle, which was fought after a stalemate at Artemisium. Queen Artemisia of Halicarnassus escaped this battle by ramming her ship into friendly forces. For 10 points, name this 480 B.C. defeat of Xerxes’ Persian navy by an allied Greek fleet under the command of Themistocles. ANSWER: Battle of Salamis 2. In a play by this author, the sudden withering of some roses represents the demise of the title spinster, who waits over twenty years for her fiance to return. This author wrote a play in which a mother is reminded of her husband’s death by her son’s request for a knife; in that play, Death takes the form of an old beggar woman while the Moon is represented by a young woodcutter. Near the end of that work by this playwright, Leonardo Felix and the Groom kill each other. This author’s best known play features an all-female cast, and concerns a matriarch who institutes a lengthy mourning period for her second husband. For 10 points, name this Spanish playwright of Blood Wedding and The House of Bernarda Alba. -

When the Stars Come Out: Jodie Foster's Queer Families and The
((( When the Stars Come Out: Jodie Foster’s Queer Families and the Celebrity Private Sphere Claire Bond Potter Am I your passion your promise your end? I say I am, yes I am Your passion your promise your end, yes I am —Melissa Etheridge1 When Jodie Foster came out at the 2013 Golden Globes, her revelation (such as it was) was greeted with empathy, cynicism, and confusion. What was she saying? Did she actually come out if she didn’t say the word “lesbian?” This should prompt the question—What does it mean for a celebrity to come out in the 21st century? Most of them don’t, even as the larger culture has become dramatically more knowledgeable about and supportive of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (GLBTQ) people. Does a celebrity coming out still matter? Following the 1997 “Puppy Episode” in which her daughter Ellen announced she was a lesbian, GLBTQ activist Betty DeGeneres told fans that: “Coming out is a gift.” But what kind of a gift? And to whom was it given? Like Ellen, some celebrities have come out not just to relieve anxiety about the dissonance between their private and public lives, but also because they have come to believe that they should use their influence on behalf of social justice.
