  • Abandoning the Girl Show Ghetto: Introducing and Incorporating Care Ethics to Girls' Animation
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Adam C. Hughes for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Ethics presented on July 15, 2013 Title: Abandoning the Girl's Show Ghetto: Introducing and Incorporating Care Ethics to Girls' Animation Abstract approved: Flora L. Leibowitz In regards to animation created and aimed at them, girls are largely underserved and underrepresented. This underrepresentation leads to decreased socio-cultural capital in adulthood and a feeling of sacrificed childhood. Although there is a common consensus in entertainment toward girls as a potentially deficient audience, philosophy and applied ethics open up routes for an alternative explanation of why cartoons directed at young girls might not succeed. These alternative explanations are fueled by an ethical contract wherein producers and content creators respect and understand their audience in return for the privilege of entertaining. ©Copyright by Adam C.

  • Achieving a Global Reach on Children's Cultural Markets
    Achieving a global reach on children’s cultural markets: managing the stakes of inter-textuality in digital cultures Valérie-Inés de LA VILLE European Center for Children’s Products Institut d’Administration des Entreprises Université de Poitiers, France [email protected] and Laurent DURUP Project Manager and Game Designer Ouat Entertainment, France [email protected] The aim of this chapter is to shed light on the formation of children’s cultures in a digital global marketplace by developing the idea that, in such a context, inter-textuality consists of a complex intertwining of cultural references partially shaped by commercial strategies. The chapter draws on recent and successful experiences by French animation producers on global cultural markets. Indeed, in order to achieve a global reach on children’s cultural markets, the managerial stakes that producers have to face include making decisions that take into account the competitive positioning of their clients (TV channels or cable broadcasters, internet service providers or web portals), and their programming choices. Moreover, content producers have to deal with inter-textual subtleties also when they design spin-offs policies and consider their potential spread, as well as when they engage their properties in bounded promotional campaigns… Part 1 – The global reach of recent French animation productions 1.1 – Some evidence1 Today, the French animation industry is ranked third in the world and first in Europe, producing each year around 300 new hours of animation. French producers benefit from efficient governmental subsidies designed to support creativity in this industry. Partly due to this unique and enviable system, French productions globally gather more than 50% of their budget on the national territory since 2000.

  • Spiritual Odysseys in Children's Television
    Spiritual Odysseys in Children’s Television The story of Odysseus’ wanderings is part of North American story telling to the point that it can be classified as modern folklore. (Hardwick 2007). Although other aspects of Homer’s Odyssey, such as the Telemachiad and the Phaeacians, have fallen by the wayside, the dangers, temptations, and adventures that Odysseus encounters on his journey home are interwoven throughout much of children’s literature (Norton 2003, Huck & Kiefer 2004). Unsurprising, visually appealing encounters with sirens, Cyclopes, and sentient whirlpools often appear in children’s television. However, these exciting encounters are only the superficial focus of their stories. Instead, children’s television often transforms the myth of Odysseus’ journey into a journey of personal growth for the shows’ young protagonists. It is not uncommon for televised adaptations of the wanders of Odysseus to relegate Odysseus to a secondary role or outright replace him with a younger character. To give a few examples, Duck Tales’ episode “Homer Sweet Homer” sends Odysseus’s nephew, Homer, to retrace his famous relative’s steps with the help of the McDuck family, and Odie, a descended of Odysseus in Class of the Titans, encounters Calypso, Scylla, and Aeolus in the episode “Odie- sey.” These youthful characters act as stand-ins for the young viewers. As a result, Odysseus becomes older relative or father-figure to the young travelers and an object of inspiration. As the heroes make their journeys, they also struggle with their own personal feelings of weakness, failure, or inferiority and aspire to match Odysseus’ accomplishments. Rather than exploring all instances of this phenomenon, the paper will seek to illuminate the personal growth aspects of Television Odysseys through one example, an episode of Martha Speaks called “Truman and the Deep Blue Sea.” Martha Speaks is a television show aimed at children from ages 4 to 7.
