IRONIC FEMINISM: RHETORICAL CRITIQUE IN SATIRICAL NEWS A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Kathy Elrick December 2016 Accepted by Dr. David Blakesley, Committee Chair Dr. Jeff Love Dr. Brandon Turner Dr. Victor J. Vitanza ABSTRACT Ironic Feminism: Rhetorical Critique in Satirical News aims to offer another perspective and style toward feminist theories of public discourse through satire. This study develops a model of ironist feminism to approach limitations of hegemonic language for women and minorities in U.S. public discourse. The model is built upon irony as a mode of perspective, and as a function in language, to ferret out and address political norms in dominant language. In comedy and satire, irony subverts dominant language for a laugh; concepts of irony and its relation to comedy situate the study’s focus on rhetorical contributions in joke telling. How are jokes crafted? Who crafts them? What is the motivation behind crafting them? To expand upon these questions, the study analyzes examples of a select group of popular U.S.

  • 2012 4Th Quarter Stock Market Commentary ALGOS GONE WILD
    2012 4th Quarter Stock Market Commentary ALGOS GONE WILD "Why join the navy if you can be a pirate?" - Steve Jobs The Sixties were a decade of counterculture and social revolution – antiwar protests, the rise of feminism, sexual emancipation, and experimentation with illegal drugs. No rock group captured the ethos of that period better than the Beatles, with songs like Revolution on the White Album inspired by the protest movement. The biggest-selling album of the decade was Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band. One song on the album, credited to Lennon-McCartney, but primarily written by John Lennon, was Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, considered the greatest example of psychedelic rock. The lyrics describe a phantasmagorical world filled with “tangerine trees” and “marmalade skies.” Lennon claimed that the song was inspired by a nursery school drawing by his son, Julian, but speculation quickly arose that the song was really a hidden tribute to an LSD-induced trip, especially since the first letters of the nouns in the song’s title spelled LSD. Lennon denied the hidden meaning, although Paul McCartney confirmed it an interview thirty five years later. Other Beatles’ songs also contained hidden drug references. Got to Get You Into My Life, for example, was an allusion to marijuana. My own musical tastes run more to the Eagles, where the hidden messages seem to have presaged many of the problems plaguing the financial system that have caused many individual investors to abandon the stock market. After all, the enigmatic Hotel California, an inn where “you can check in, but you can never leave,” may be referring to the illiquidity imposed on investors by hedge fund operators that restrict the ability of investors to withdraw their funds during periods of market volatility.

RACIAL SATIRE AND CHAPPELLE’S SHOW by KATHARINE P. ZAKOS Under the Direction of Mary Stuckey ABSTRACT This thesis examines Chappelle's Show’s use of racial satire to challenge dominant stereotypes and the effectiveness of that satire as a tool to achieve perspective by incongruity. I use a variation of D’Acci’s circuit of media study model to examine the institutional challenges and limitations on the show due to the context in which it was created, produced, and distributed; to interrogate the strategies employed by the show’s writers/creators to overcome these challenges through the performance of race; and to analyze the audience’s understanding of the use of racial satire through a reception study of the show’s audience. I argue that using satire often has the unintended consequence of crossing the line between “sending up” a behavior and supporting it, essentially becoming that which it is trying to discount, though this is not to say that its intrinsic value is therefore completely negated.

    18iaspm.wordpress.com 1 2 18th Biennial IASPM Conference Contents Dear IASPM Delegates, It is with great pleasure that UNICAMP (Universidade Estadual de Campinas) will host this important academic event aimed at the study of popular music. With the subject: Back to the Future: Popular Music in Time, the Conference will gather more than 200 researchers from countries of all continents who will present and discuss works aimed at the study of sonority, styles, performances, contents, production contexts and popular music consumption. IASPM periodically carries out, since 1981 – year which was founded – regular meetings and the publication of the works contributing to the creation of a new academic field targeted to the study of this medium narrative modality of syncretic and multidimensional nature, which has been consolidated along the last 150 years as component element of the contemporary culture. We hope that this Conference will represent another step in the consolidation of this field which has already achieved worldwide coverage. For the Music Department of the Arts Institute of UNICAMP, to carry out the 18th Conference brings special importance as it created the first Graduation Course in Popular Music of Brazil, in 1989, making this University a reference institution in these studies. UNICAMP is located in the District of Barão Geraldo, in the city of Campinas – SP. This region showed great development at the end of XIX century and beginning of XX century due to the coffee farming expansion. Nowadays it presents itself as an industrial high-tech center. Its cultural life is intense, being music one of the most relevant activities.

  • The Rhetoric of Political Comedy: a Tragedy?
    International Journal of Communication 7 (2013), 338–370 1932–8036/20130005 The Rhetoric of Political Comedy: A Tragedy? RODERICK P. HART University of Texas at Austin See the companion work to this article “Paradying the Protest Paradigm? How Political Satire Complicates the Empirical Study of Traditional News Frames” by Dannagal G. Young in this Special Section This essay wades into the controversy surrounding Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show. Although some scholars have pointed up its constructive impact, others find it a harbinger of cynicism, superficiality, and excessive partisanship. This study offers a content analysis of Daily Show transcripts focused on social protest, and of a philosophical interview with Jon Stewart conducted by Rolling Stone magazine. Results show Stewart avoiding traditional forms of ideology, featuring desultory politics, stressing personal over group interactions, and embracing several dialectical choices— ideas vs. behavior, politicians vs. the electorate, and comedians vs. reporters. When the data are viewed as a whole, Stewart’s all-seeing, all-knowing rhetoric is identified as problematic, as is his lonely model of public life. Both make it hard to hold out hope for political solutions and that seems especially true for young people. While none of the foregoing claims can be considered definitive, they present new questions about The Daily Show’s impact on our life and times. Jon Stewart, impresario of The Daily Show, has surely caught the attention of the academic community. Amber Day (2011) describes Stewart as “the everyman’s stand-in,” one who “is able to act as the viewer’s surrogate,” thereby giving the American people “vicarious pleasure in hearing [their] own opinions aired on national television” (p.
