Its popularity reveals the universal Cinderella Complex hidden behind the woman status. My thesis focuses its attention on the transition in woman status. First, it looks into the Cinderella paradigm as well as its complex in reality. Second, it finds the transcendence in modern Cinderella. The last part pursues the development of women status’ improvement. In current study, seldom people make comparisons between Cinderella and Ugly Betty. With its comparison and the exploration of feminism, it can be reached that woman status have been greatly improved under the influence of different factors like economic and political. And as a modern woman lives in the new century, she has to be independent in economy and optimistic in spirit. Index Terms—Cinderella Complex, Ugly Betty, feminist movement, feminine consciousness, women status I. INTRODUCTION Cinderella, a beautiful fairy tale widely known around the world, has become a basic literary archetype in the world literature. Its popularity reveals the universal Cinderella Complex hidden behind the human’s consciousness. With the development of feminine, women came to realize their inner power and the meaning of life.

  • The Complexities of Latina Sexuality on Ugly Betty Tanya González
    IS UGLY THE NEW SEXY? The Complexities of Latina Sexuality on Ugly Betty Tanya González ABC’s Emmy and Golden Globe winning television show Ugly Betty stars America Ferrera as Betty Suarez, an intelligent Mexican American executive assistant who lives in Queens, New York, but works at Mode in Manhattan. An adaptation from the Colombian telenovela,Yo soy, Betty la fea, this television show works on a fairy tale premise: the ugly protagonist with a heart of gold will eventually obtain happiness by virtue of her goodness. However, Ugly Betty offers a protagonist with multiple love interests, constantly involving her in a variety of love triangles, begging the question, “Is ugly the new sexy?” The following analysis of Betty as a sexual subject demonstrates that Ugly Betty, within the limits of Hollywood representation, offers complex subjects instead of one-dimensional types. The show’s use of a Latino camp aesthetic continually introduces elements, like Betty’s sexuality, that push the limits of how we perceive Latinas/os on television and in everyday life. As a result, Ugly Betty surprisingly illustrates Chicana/o and Latina/o feminist theories about identity construction. ABC’s Emmy and Golden Globe winning television show Ugly Betty is a global iteration of the Colombian telenovela1 phenomenon Yo soy, Betty la fea (1999-2001). Ugly Betty, which premiered Fall 2006 and will end Spring 2010, stars America Ferrera as Betty Suarez, an intelligent, sweet, perky young Latina2 who lives in Queens, but works at Mode, a fictional representation of Vogue magazine. As the title suggests, people perceive Betty as ugly because she is not model-skinny; wears glasses, braces, and bangs; and has poor fashion sense.

  • Title of Dissertation
    SETTING UP CAMP: IDENTIFYING CAMP THROUGH THEME AND STRUCTURE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael T. Schuyler January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Cornelius B. Pratt, Advisory Chair, Strategic Communication John A. Lent, Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Mass Media Paul Swann, Film & Media Arts Roberta Sloan, External Member, Theater i © Copyright 2010 by Michael T. Schuyler All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Camp scholarship remains vague. While academics don’t shy away from writing about this form, most exemplify it more than define it. Some even refuse to define it altogether, arguing that any such attempt causes more problems than it solves. So, I ask the question, can we define camp via its structure, theme and character types? After all, we can do so for most other genres, such as the slasher film, the situation comedy or even the country song; therefore, if camp relies upon identifiable character types and proliferates the same theme repeatedly, then, it exists as a narrative system. In exploring this, I find that, as a narrative system, though, camp doesn’t add to the dominant discursive system. Rather, it exists in opposition to it, for camp disseminates the theme that those outside of heteronormativity and acceptability triumph not in spite of but because of what makes them “different,” “othered” or “marginalized.” Camp takes many forms. So, to demonstrate its reliance upon a certain structure, stock character types and a specific theme, I look at the overlaps between seemingly disperate examples of this phenomenon.

    1212 What Does Race Have to Do With Ugly Betty? An Analysis of Privilege and Postracial(?) Representations on a Television Sitcom Jennifer Esposito he term “postracial” has been utilized in increasing amounts in the media to denote Tsome people’s perceptions that the election of Barack Obama marks a new era in our society—one in which race no longer matters. This notion, while perhaps well-meaning, contradicts the very ways our society is structured. Race is an organizing principle (Henry 1995) in institutions such as government, schools, and popular culture. We cannot think or even act without racial categories becoming prominent. ... One place where racial discourse is especially powerful is within the institution of popu- lar culture. We must continually critique and examine representations of racialized bodies, especially those bodies already marginalized within the system of racial hierarchies. In the spirit of continuing the examination of racial discourse, this chapter examines ABC’s televi- sion comedy Ugly Betty, in particular one episode that explores race-based affirmative action decisions and quotas (“When Betty Met YETI”). This episode of Ugly Betty aired two weeks after the 2008 election of Barack Obama. ... Ugly Betty, Privilege, and Affirmative Action Betty Suarez, the fashion-challenged heroine of ABC’s sitcom Ugly Betty, works as an assis- tant to the editor of Mode, a high-fashion magazine. Part of her job entails meeting the mul- tiple personal and professional needs of her boss, Daniel Meade, an irresponsible sex addict. From Esposito, J. (2009).

Since the early years of television the United States has been the most important exporter of TV series, TV serials and game shows. But nowadays times have changed. Admittedly the USA is still the leading nation in selling TV fiction all over the world, but since the deregulation of the TV market in Western Europe in the 1990s Great Britain and the Netherlands are the leading exporters of non-fiction formats like reality shows, Australia sells its soap operas all over the world and Latin American countries are important exporters of telenovelas.

  • Fat Studies, Fat Stigma, and Citizenship in US Media
    Bodies of Knowledge: Fat Studies, Fat Stigma, and Citizenship in U.S. Media Culture 157 Feminist Studies in English Literature Vol.20, No. 3 (2012) Bodies of Knowledge: Fat Studies, Fat Stigma, and Citizenship in U.S. Media Culture Dana Heller (Old Dominion University) In the summer of 2009, U.S. Fox television premiered a new series, More to Love, a dating competition show from the creators of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. The difference in this case was that the female contestants competing for the heart of single guy, Luke Conley, were all plus‐size women. Conley himself, who stands at 6’3 and weighs 300 lbs., claimed that his ideal woman is “full‐figured and comfortable in her own skin.” According to Fox’s promotion, the series would feature “real women” in an effort to “prove that love comes in all shapes and sizes.” The series trailer emphasized the pride these women take in their size, and their refusal to see themselves as abnormal or unattractive. However, when the series aired it told quite the opposite story, as the female contestants, all of them professionally accomplished and articulate, came forward one by one to confess their miserable experiences of heterosexual vulnerability and humiliation, their perennial failures with diets and weight‐loss programs, and their most intimate struggles with 158 Dana Heller rejection and self‐hatred in a culture that encourages women to aspire to size.1 More to Love is indicative of a contradictory cultural turn in media culture that generates narratives of “fat acceptance” ― stories consistent with a burgeoning activist movement aimed at renegotiating bodily norms and changing social perceptions of overweight people, who are frequent targets of derision and discrimination.
