  • (Don't) Wear Glasses: the Performativity of Smart Girls On
    GIRLS WHO (DON'T) WEAR GLASSES: THE PERFORMATIVITY OF SMART GIRLS ON TEEN TELEVISION Sandra B. Conaway 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: Kristine Blair, Advisor Julie Edmister Graduate Faculty Representative Erin Labbie Katherine Bradshaw © 2007 Sandra Conaway All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor This dissertation takes a feminist view of t television programs featuring smart girls, and considers the “wave” of feminism popular at the time of each program. Judith Butler’s concept from Gender Trouble of “gender as a performance,” which says that normative behavior for a given gender is reinforced by culture, helps to explain how girls learn to behave according to our culture’s rules for appropriate girlhood. Television reinforces for intellectual girls that they must perform their gender appropriately, or suffer the consequences of being invisible and unpopular, and that they will win rewards for performing in more traditionally feminine ways. 1990-2006 featured a large number of hour-long television dramas and dramedies starring teenage characters, and aimed at a young audience, including Beverly Hills, 90210, My So-Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Freaks and Geeks, and Gilmore Girls. In most teen shows there is a designated smart girl who is not afraid to demonstrate her interest in math or science, or writing or reading. In lieu of ethnic or racial minority characters, she is often the “other” of the group because of her less conventionally attractive appearance, her interest in school, her strong sense of right and wrong, and her lack of experience with boys.

    ART MAGAZINEVolume 38 Issue 6 MercuryHg Company II ART MISSION Artists Repertory Theatre’s mission is to produce intimate, provocative theatre and provide a home for a diverse community of artists and audiences to take creative risks. ANTI-RACIST STATEMENT Artists Repertory Theatre recognizes that we are a predominately white organization and operate within systemic racism and oppression, and that silence and neutrality are actions of complicity. We recognize the critical role the arts play in our culture and national conversation, and accept our responsibility to make positive change through our work, our practices, and our policies. We commit ourselves to the work of becoming an anti-racism and anti-oppression organization, and will work with urgency to end racial inequities in our industry and our culture.

  • Center of Northern California
    JAPANESE CULTURAL AND COMMUNITY CENTER OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WINTER 2007, CENTER VOLUME 15 Executive Director’s Message Fifty years ago, San Francisco Mayor George Christopher made history when, at the suggestion of President Dwight Eisenhower, he sent a four-member delegation from San Francisco to Osaka to establish the nation’s first sister city relationship with Japan. This year, in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the San Francisco-Osaka Sister City relationship, the JCCCNC in cooperation with the San Francisco-Osaka Sister City Association will be organizing three tours to Osaka to help strengthen and improve new relations between our two cities. The first will be the official trip of Mayor Gavin Newsom and a 44-member delegation in February to help promote friendship and the revitalization of Japantown. The second is the Shinzen Nikkei Youth Sports Exchange Program which will bring 20 youth and their families, totaling about 90 participants, to encourage youth to become grassroots ambassadors. The third is the San Francisco-Osaka Culinary Tour which will bring a delegation of 75 representing the finest in San Francisco’s culinary arts in an effort to promote cultural exchange between our two cities. As we look forward to the 50th Anniversary activities, we hope to make this year a historical event by bringing together our two cities most valuable resources – the citizens of San Francisco and Osaka. The mission of these citizen ambassadors is to learn, share and dialogue with the people of Osaka so that we may continue to improve understanding and develop new relationships toward enduring friendship and peace.
