  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • Gender Stereotypes in the Sitcom Friends 1
    Running Header: GENDER STEREOTYPES IN THE SITCOM FRIENDS 1 Gender Stereotypes in the Sitcom Friends: Content Analysis Kelly Reed Indiana Wesleyan University GENDER STEREOTYPES IN THE SITCOM FRIENDS 2 A Content Analysis Introduction One research method is to perform a content analysis on the subject in which the researcher wishes to expand knowledge. This study over gender stereotypes is a content analysis. A content analysis is a way to understand text and image in numbers, and is a quantitative research method. “In the context of communication research, content analysis is a quantitative, systematic, and objective technique for describing the manifest content of communications,” said Treadwell (2014). In this study, gender stereotypes are content analyzed in the sitcom, Friends. It is important to study these stereotypes because of the relationship between gender stereotypes in media, specifically television, and gender stereotypes within society. The show, Friends, is a good sample for a study of gender stereotypes in media because it focuses on the interaction between the three female characters and the three male characters. It depicts the way twenty year olds wanted to be acting and living during that time. The plot of sitcoms redefines the idea of a normal, typical life of an American. It is also an interesting study because it allows for a broad time span to be analyzed, since it aired for 10 years (Poniewozik, 2004). This study uses coding of each stereotype to count the frequency that certain male and female stereotypes are portrayed in a sample of 25 episodes. The results are analyzed to either verify or disprove hypotheses made during the initial research process.

  • Black Masculinity and White-Cast Sitcoms Unraveling Stereotypes in New Girl
    Black masculinity and White-cast Sitcoms Unraveling stereotypes in New Girl Marie Zafimehy Supervisor: Alma Persson, Gender Studies, LiU Master’s Programme Gender Studies – Intersectionality and Change Master’s thesis 15 ECTS credits ISRN: LIU-TEMA G/GSIC1-A—19/015-SE Marie Zafimehy 2 Master thesis - Gender, Intersectionality and Change ABSTRACT For decades, situational comedies — commonly named “sitcoms” — have been racially segregated on TV between Black-cast sitcoms and White-cast sitcoms. Extensive research has been led about representation of Black and White masculinities in this segregated context. This master thesis studies what happens when White and Black males are equally casted as main characters in contemporary sitcoms by offering a case-study of the 2011 sitcom New Girl (2011-2017). How is Black masculinity represented in New Girl, and in which ways does it intersect with contemporary societal issues (e.g. racial profiling, Black Lives Matter movement)? This case-study uses tools, methodologies and concepts, drawn from Black and Intersectional feminism as well as Feminist media studies. Based on a 25 episodes sample of the show, it implements Ronald Jackson’s traditional stereotypes classification and “Black masculine identity theory” (Jackson, 2006) to study representations of Black masculinity in New Girl, through its two main Black male characters, Winston and Coach. Given that representations of minorities in popular culture reflect and influence our contemporary society, the results offer new insights about how sitcoms, series and pop- culture productions in general can challenge traditional stereotypes and display a more progressive Black masculinity. Key words: Black feminism, Feminist media studies, Men and masculinities, Representation, New Girl, Sitcoms Marie Zafimehy 3 Master thesis - Gender, Intersectionality and Change ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to Johanna Hägg and Sebastian Ingels who successively shared their Netflix access codes with me.

  • Guyer Cheer Captain/Co-Captain Contract
    Guyer Cheer Captain/Co-Captain Contract Candidate Commitment: I understand that I will have additional obligations and responsibilities. I will be expected to be self- disciplined, be fair to all team members, give orders, and set an example for other cheerleaders. I understand that I will be expected to attend captain meetings and may be required to do work outside of normal team practice times during the year. I understand that more will be expected of me than a regular squad member and I am willing to give what it takes to be an exceptional captain. I understand that my coach has the right to discipline me for falling short of her expectations of a captain which could include dismissal from the captain position. I understand that outside activities or a job may not interfere with my obligations. I understand that I am expected to attend all cheer activities, mandatory or optional. I understand that it is my duty to uphold and abide by the cheer constitution. I understand that I am a leader for my team but the coaches will make all decisions. I will support the coach at all times. I will accept her decisions and not expect an explanation. I understand that, as a captain, I will be an ambassador for the cheer program and Guyer High School and will accept this responsibility with pride and dedication. This means that I must set an excellent example in and out of school and cheerleading activities. Being a captain is a rewarding and fulfilling responsibility. Great things will be expected from you.

    WALK 2 | Jardin du Luxembourg Start – Metro Station, Line 4 St-Germain-des-Prés Approximate Length: 3.4 km 7 8 10 9 N U = Underground Metro Station = Optional route Emerging from the Metro station, you will be on Boulevard Saint Germain. Go to Place Saint Germain des Prés. Pass by the café Les Deux Magots, and in the middle of the plaza across from the church, you will find a Wallace Fountain. Fountain 7 Place St. Germain des Prés, 6th Arr. This fountain is near the entrance to the old abbey church, Saint Germain des Prés. In warm months, the fountain is surrounded by outdoor seating for nearby cafes and restaurants. One 7 cafe is Les Deux Magots, made famous by its former clientele - lost generation writers, surrealist artists, and existentialist philosophers. Today, the cafe attracts tourists and those who want to feel they rubbed shoulders with the ghosts of long dead French intellectuals. Perhaps Hemingway or Sartre drank from this Wallace Fountain after they had too much to drink at Les Deux Magots. Saint Germain des Prés is the oldest church in Paris with parts dating back to the sixth century. If you have time, look inside. Undergoing renovation, it is slowly being restored to its original glory. Cross Boulevard St-Germain and walk south on Rue Bonaparte until you arrive at Place Saint-Sulpice. In the square and across the street from the town hall of the 6th arrondissement is a Wallace Fountain. Fountain 8 Place Saint-Sulpice, 6th Arr. At the southwest corner of the square stands the fountain.
