Sisällönanalyyttinen ja kuvatutkimuksellinen tulkinta fiktiivisen ohjelman sisältämistä poliittisista representaatioista Pro gradu -tutkielma, 115 s., 4 liites. Valtio-oppi Maaliskuu 2012 ___________________________________________________________ Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastelen yhdysvaltalaisen South Park -tv-sarjan tapaa esittää poliittisia aiheita ja politiikan toimijoita. Tulkitsen kahdeksaa sarjan jaksoa sisällönanalyyttisin ja kuvatutkimuksellisin keinoin. Muodostan yksittäisissä jaksoissa esitetyistä kuvista ja tekstisisällöstä induktiivisen päätelmän, johon kokoan yhtenäisen näkemyksen sarjan tavasta esittää ja kehystää politiikkoja, poliittista toimintaa sekä asiakysymyksiä jaksoissa. Tutkimuksen pääaineiston jaksoissa esiintyy useita erilaisia aiheita ja teemoja, joita on mahdoton asettaa yhden kokoavan temaattisen tulkinnan alle. Työni kannalta on johdonmukaisempaa analysoida ja tulkita kulloinkin käsiteltävänä olevan jakson sisällössä esitettävää kokonaisnäkemystä etenkin liberaali–konservatiiviasettelun ja toisaalta puoluepoliittisen demokraatti–republikaani-dikotomian kautta. Analyysistäni selvisi, että South Park kritisoi niin demokraatteja kuin republikaanejakin.

Melting Pots, Multiculturalism, and Marketing to the New America In 2004, Comedy Central’s irreverent South Park series aired an epi- sode titled, “Goobacks,” a play on the anti-Mexican slur “wetbacks.” Instead of a wave of immigration from a country to the south, the cartoon town of South Park must contend with an “invasion” by a time-traveler from the year 3040.

  • “So Closely Intertwined”: Labor and Racial Solidarity
    “So Closely Intertwined”: Labor and Racial Solidarity Charlotte Garden* & Nancy Leong** ABSTRACT Conventional wisdom tells us that labor unions and people of color are adversaries. Commentators, academics, politicians, and employers across a broad range of ideologies view the two groups’ interests as fundamentally op- posed and their relationship as predictably fraught with tension. For example, commentators assert that unions capture a wage premium that mostly benefits white workers while making it harder for workers of color to find work; that unions deprive workers of color of an effective voice in the workplace; and that unions are interested in workers of color only to the extent that they can showcase them to manufacture the appearance of racial diversity. Like much conventional wisdom, the narrative of rivalry between unions and people of color is flawed. In reality, labor unions and civil rights groups work together to advance a wide array of mutual interests. This work ranges from lobbying all levels of government to protesting working conditions across the country. Moreover, unions can improve the lives of workers of color—whether or not they are union members—through activities that range from bargaining for better wages and working conditions to providing ser- vices like job training and continuing education to under-resourced communities. We aim to replace the conventional wisdom with a narrative that more accurately describes the occasionally complicated but ultimately hopeful rela- tionship between labor and race. In developing this narrative, we anchor our conclusions in an interdisciplinary literature that includes insights from legal, economic, psychological, and sociological scholarly research. This extensive body of scholarship indicates that union membership has significant benefits for workers of color in the form of higher wages and improved benefits, more racially congenial workplaces, and deeper cross-racial understanding.

Relying on Daniel Tichenor’s See table of contents categorization of the main US currents of thought on immigration, we proceed to a qualitative content and discourse analysis of a selected corpus of episodes of the aforementioned animated television series to show that they offer a Publisher(s) discursive space to each of the main currents of thought identified by Tichenor. The article also shows that The Simpsons, American Dad! and Family Guy Société québécoise de science politique contain a satirical discourse that aims to discredit conservative positions and valorize liberal views on immigration, but that South Park does not include a ISSN similar bias nor a bias for any of the currents of thought on immigration or the building of a fence between the US and Mexico. 1203-9438 (print) 1703-8480 (digital) Explore this journal Cite this article Gagnon, F. & Dufort, J.
