American Popular Culture SPRING 2014 HISTORY 142D PROF. MARY F. COREY TU/THU 12:30-1:45 PERLOFF 1102 OFFICE HRS. TUESDAY 11-12:30 OR BY APPT. 310-825-2416 [email protected] AMERICAN CULTURE, EVEN IN ITS MOST RIGIDLY SEGREGATED PRECINCTS, IS PATENTLY AND IRREVOCABLY COMPOSITE. IT IS, REGARDLESS OF ALL THE HYSTERICAL PROTESTATIONS OF THOSE WHO WOULD HAVE IT OTHERWISE, INCONTESTABLY MULATTO. John Strausbaugh, Black Like You: Blackface, Whiteface, Insult and Imitation in American Popular Culture. HISTORY 142D: AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE This course is a survey of American cultural history since the mid- 19th century with an emphasis on the consistent interplay between white and black culture that ultimately produces a set of specifically American cultural forms. We will also examine the historical development of the commodification of an urban, consumer-oriented American mass culture that enveloped diverse groups of Americans as producers and consumers. We will examine the minstrel impulse as it plays out over time and in an ever-changing set of political, economic, and social circumstances. We will study key elements of the culture such as theatrical entertainment, music, cinema, television, and sports – all through the lens of race and commodification. READING LIST: L. Frank Baum, The Wizard of Oz Jeffrey B. Ferguson, The Harlem Renaissance: A Brief History With Documents Jonathan Lethem, The Fortress of Solitude Yuval Taylor & Jake Austen, Darkest America: Black Minstrelsy From Slavery to Hip Hop Elijah Wald, The Blues: A Very Short Introduction Please note that the website for this class has a section labeled YouTube videos. Part of the midterm assignment for the class is a three page paper that asks you to choose one or two of the videos, research the artist and the song and incorporate this research into a brief discussion of the history of this particular artist and/or song and perhaps some discussion of other artists who have covered this song. I will discuss this in class but I wanted to give you a heads up in advance. As part of your final exam you will choose one of the films on the course list and write a three page paper about it placing it in the context of what we have learned about the complexity of the minstrel impulse in American popular culture. All other readings will be posted on-line on the syllabus. Begin reading The Wizard of Oz at once. Then start the Lethem book. Specific readings from the other two books will be assigned on the syllabus. EXAMS I will disseminate the prompts for both the midterm and the final one week in advance. In addition to the exam you will have to select one of the films from the list attached to this syllabus and write a two-page, historically contextualized review essay about it. All papers should have a thesis and the thesis statement should be printed in boldface type. List of Films All work must be turned in to Turnitin.com. Be sure to turn your work in to Turnitin as one document. Citations should be in parenthetical style. Ex: (Lethem, p.22). If you want to quote from lecture it should be simply (Corey, Lecture). You do not need a bibliography unless you use outside books, which I do not encourage. Be sure to keep a copy of your work in case of any issues with lost or misplaced exams. CLASS SCHEDULE This schedule is subject to change. We will cover as much ground as is possible in the very short 10 week session. The class is extremely lecture driven. This is not a class that you can do well in by only doing the reading. Office hours will also be helpful.

    Women Who Lead Black Panther Party “We Want Freedom” - Mumia Abu-Jamal Black Church model: ● “A predominantly female membership with a predominantly male clergy” (159) Competition: ● “Black Panther Party...gave the women of the BPP far more opportunities to lead...than any of its contemporaries” (161) “We Want Freedom” (pt. 2) Invisibility does not mean non existent: ● “Virtually invisible within the hierarchy of the organization” (159) Sexism does not exist in vacuum: ● “Gender politics, power dynamics, color consciousness, and sexual dominance” (167) “Remembering the Black Panther Party, This Time with Women” Tanya Hamilton, writer and director of NIght Catches Us “A lot of the women I think were kind of the backbone [of the movement],” she said in an interview with Michel Martin. Patti remains the backbone of her community by bailing young men out of jail and raising money for their defense. “Patricia had gone on to become a lawyer but that she was still bailing these guys out… she was still their advocate… showing up when they had their various arraignments.” (NPR) “Although Night Catches Us, like most “war” films, focuses a great deal on male characters, it doesn’t share the genre’s usual macho trappings–big explosions, fast pace, male bonding. Hamilton’s keen attention to minutia and everydayness provides a strong example of how women directors can produce feminist films out of presumably masculine subject matter.” “In stark contrast, Hamilton brings emotional depth and acuity to an era usually fetishized with depictions of overblown, tough-guy black masculinity.” In what ways is the Black Panther Party fetishized?

  • Responses to Sarcasm in Three Star Trek Movies
    LEXICON Volume 6, Number 1, April 2019, 11-20 Responses to Sarcasm in Three Star Trek Movies Shafira Sherin*, AdiSutrisno English Department, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia *Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Sarcasm has been widely studied in various disciplines such as linguistics, psychology, neurology, sociology, and even cross-cultural studies. Its aggravating nature, however, often elicits various responses by the hearer. This study attempts to investigate responses to sarcasm by the characters of three Star Trek “reboot” version movies. It aims to examine responses to sarcasm and to analyze the patterns of responses to sarcastic remarks in relation to the characters’ interpersonal relationship. The data used in this research were taken from the dialogues of the movies, which were categorized into eight classes of responses: laughter, literal, zero response, smile, nonverbal, sarcasm, topic change, and metalinguistic comment. The results show that the most frequent responses conveyed by the characters were literal responses (29.41%), whereas the least frequent responses are laughter (1.96%). There is no pattern in responding to sarcastic remarks in relation to the interpersonal relationship between the interlocutors. However, strangers tend to respond in literal, zero response, and topic change. Meanwhile, close acquaintance tend to give various responses. Keywords: interpersonal relationship; pragmatics; response; sarcasm. INTRODUCTION understood by the parties involved. It can be said that if the sarcastic remarks are expressed in Sarcasm, often mistakenly understood as appropriate circumstances, sarcastic criticisms, no verbal irony, is a figure of speech bearing a semantic matter how negative it may cause, may leave interpretation exactly opposite to its literal positive impacts such as laughter and make the meaning.

  • Why Hollywood Isn't As Liberal As We Think and Why It Matters
    Claremont Colleges Scholarship @ Claremont CMC Senior Theses CMC Student Scholarship 2019 Why Hollywood Isn't As Liberal As We Think nda Why It Matters Amanda Daily Claremont McKenna College Recommended Citation Daily, Amanda, "Why Hollywood Isn't As Liberal As We Think nda Why It Matters" (2019).

It has been accepted for inclusion in this collection by an authorized administrator. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 1 Claremont McKenna College Why Hollywood Isn’t As Liberal As We Think And Why It Matters Submitted to Professor Jon Shields by Amanda Daily for Senior Thesis Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 April 29, 2019 2 3 Abstract Hollywood has long had a reputation as a liberal institution. Especially in 2019, it is viewed as a highly polarized sector of society sometimes hostile to those on the right side of the aisle. But just because the majority of those who work in Hollywood are liberal, that doesn’t necessarily mean our entertainment follows suit. I argue in my thesis that entertainment in Hollywood is far less partisan than people think it is and moreover, that our entertainment represents plenty of conservative themes and ideas. In doing so, I look at a combination of markets and artistic demands that restrain the politics of those in the entertainment industry and even create space for more conservative productions. Although normally art and markets are thought to be in tension with one another, in this case, they conspire to make our entertainment less one-sided politically.

  • 12Th & Delaware
    12th & Delaware DIRECTORS: Rachel Grady, Heidi Ewing U.S.A., 2009, 90 min., color On an unassuming corner in Fort Pierce, Florida, it’s easy to miss the insidious war that’s raging. But on each side of 12th and Delaware, soldiers stand locked in a passionate battle. On one side of the street sits an abortion clinic. On the other, a pro-life outfit often mistaken for the clinic it seeks to shut down. Using skillful cinema-vérité observation that allows us to draw our own conclusions, Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing, the directors of Jesus Camp, expose the molten core of America’s most intractable conflict. As the pro-life volunteers paint a terrifying portrait of abortion to their clients, across the street, the staff members at the clinic fear for their doctors’ lives and fiercely protect the right of their clients to choose. Shot in the year when abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was murdered in his church, the film makes these FromFrom human rights to popular fears palpable.
