  • 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.

  • Binge Watching: Scaling Affordance Learning from Sitcoms
    Binge Watching: Scaling Affordance Learning from Sitcoms Xiaolong Wang⇤ Rohit Girdhar⇤ Abhinav Gupta The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University http://www.cs.cmu.edu/˜xiaolonw/affordance.html Abstract Query Image Query Image In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in jointly modeling perception and action. At the core of this investigation is the idea of modeling affordances1. However, when it comes to predicting affordances, even the state of the art approaches still do not use any ConvNets. Why is that? Unlike semantic or 3D tasks, there still does not exist Retrievals Retrievals any large-scale dataset for affordances. In this paper, we tackle the challenge of creating one of the biggest dataset for learning affordances. We use seven sitcoms to extract a diverse set of scenes and how actors interact with different objects in the scenes. Our dataset consists of more than 10K scenes and 28K ways humans can interact with these 10K images. We also propose a two-step approach to predict affordances in a new scene. In the first step, given a location in the scene we classify which of the 30 pose classes is the likely affordance pose. Given the pose class and the scene, we then use a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) [23] to extract the scale and deformation of the pose. The VAE allows us to sample the distribution of possible poses at test time. Finally, …… we show the importance of large-scale data in learning a Transferred Poses Transferred Poses generalizable and robust model of affordances. 1. Introduction One of the long-term goals of computer vision, as it in- tegrates with robotics, is to translate perception into action.

  • Journal of Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law
    NEW YORK UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND ENTERTAINMENT LAW VOLUME 5 FALL 2015 NUMBER 1 MORALS CLAUSES: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE CAROLINE EPSTEIN* This note argues that morals clauses remain important in talent contracts, despite the liberalization of the modern moral climate. Morals clauses, express and implied, are employed to terminate a contract when talent misbehaves. These clauses have a storied history, but are still relevant despite the considerable changes in social norms since they were first implemented. These clauses are applicable to various sectors of the entertainment industry, including motion picture, television, athletics, and advertising. Their popularity has also led to the implementation of reverse morals clauses, which protect the employee from improprieties of the employer. The outgrowth of Internet and social media has only made such clauses more important, by providing more opportunities for talent misbehavior and public embarrassment. This note finds that morals clauses remain relevant, effectual, nuanced, and flexible, well suited to adapt to a changing legal and cultural landscape. * J.D. Candidate, New York University School of Law, 2016; B.A. English & Government, magna cum laude, Georgetown University, 2013.

    ‘LOVE ON ICE’ Cast Bios JULIE BERMAN (Emily James) – Julie Berman started acting at the age of six. Early in her career, Berman appeared in over 100 different commercials. She made her television debut with the recurring role in the WB family drama series, “7th Heaven.” She continued that role, while simultaneously adding a recurring role in the ABC drama “Once and Again.” She also guest starred on “ER” and “Boston Public,” and starred alongside Shelley Long in the 1999 television movie “Vanished Without a Trace.” In 2005, while in college at USC, Berman booked the role of Lulu Spencer, the stubborn, troubled daughter of Luke & Laura, in the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital. The casting immediately garnered much attention due to Berman’s strong resemblance to Genie Francis who played Laura. Berman’s portrayal of Lulu quickly became a fan favorite. Berman earned her first Daytime Emmy® nomination in 2007, and won her first Daytime Emmy® for Outstanding Younger Actress in 2009. She won her second consecutive Emmy® in 2010 in the same category. In 2013, Berman won her third Emmy®, but in the Daytime Emmy® Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress category and then decided to depart the show.
