  • South Park-FM
    INTRODUCTION Taking South Park Seriously JEFFREY ANDREW WEINSTOCK Taking South Park Seriously hen I first circulated a call for submissions for this collection, I was sur- Wprised to find that the solicitation was propagated online and provoked a certain amount of confused derision—not among academics, from whom one still might expect it, but among the general public. To both my amaze- ment and amusement, while running an Internet search for articles on South Park, I discovered my brief call for essays included on a blog of sorts called “Spitting Image,” along with the comment, “There’s ‘something appealing, something appalling’ in this.” This pronouncement was then followed by one of the strangest appraisals of contemporary academia that I have ever encountered: “this is how it is to be a university professor. you must be criti- cal of any accepted narratives and generate a bigger better one all so that you can get more money, more students, more fame. its sort of boring.” Not only is it unclear to me which “accepted narrative” the author presumed this col- lection would be critical of, but the author clearly has a distorted idea of pro- fessorial salaries, financial compensation for academic publishing, and class sizes at most universities! Then there was a posting of the call for papers on a site called “Digg.com,” which prompted the response, “One more reason to laugh at professors of english.” And the appearance of my call for papers on the Free Republic site prompted a long discussion thread that included mem- orable comments such as “This is what tax dollars SORRY ES I like South Park this is ridclous LOL!” “A class on South Park..

  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF William Robert Holderness for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Speech Communication, Political Science and Speech Communication presented on June 8, 2010. Title: Why We Worship the Economy: A Burkean Analysis of South Park‘s ―Margaritaville‖ Abstract approved: _________________________________________________ Robert S. Iltis The television show South Park, created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, is viewed by millions of people each week, regularly addresses a number of controversial issues and plays a major role in contemporary popular culture. Current academic research acknowledges Parker and Stone‘s willingness to attack the dominant views surrounding a number of political and social issues. This research also identifies a number of rhetorical devices used in making these attacks. This thesis attempts to reconcile these rhetorical devices with the use of incongruity. Through an interdisciplinary approach to theories on decision making and through applying Burke‘s concepts of perspective by incongruity, master tropes and frames of acceptance and rejection, this thesis analyzes the South Park episode ―Margaritaville.‖ The question that is the focus of this thesis is: How does ―Margaritaville‖ use planned incongruity to reframe dominant discussions concerning the United States financial crisis? The findings of this study indicate that through the use of Burke‘s master tropes and frames of acceptance and rejection ―Margaritaville‖ both identifies and questions the American public‘s tendency to view the economy as they would a deity. This thesis determines that the episode ―Margaritaville‖ has a positive effect on its ideal audience. Furthermore, this study demonstrates both the importance of developing an interdisciplinary theory of human decision-making and notes the utility of using a similar Burkean analysis to examine primetime, adult-oriented cartoons.

  • The Newsroom's Toy Department: the Different Images of Sports Journalists in Films
    The Newsroom’s Toy Department: The Different Images of Sports Journalists in Films By David Sobieraj The Newsroom’s Toy Department Sobieraj 2 ABSTRACT Sports are a major part of pop culture. Sports are not just games that athletes play; they are a way of life. The roles that sportswriters and broadcasters play in the movies are a microcosm of the roles they play in real life. Most movies that include sportswriters as characters portray them as a myriad of anonymous fictional journalists who act more like paparazzi than news reporters. These characters flash cameras and yell out questions to sports stars. When real-life journalists portray themselves in bit-part roles, they are sometimes portrayed as caricatures, mocking the role of sportscasting as well as themselves. In contrast, actors who portray real-life well-known journalists and actors who play fictional sports journalists in major roles in a film take on the role of sportscasters who believe their job is to inform the public about star athletes. Moreover, the manner in which women sportswriters are depicted in films reflects the manner in which they are viewed in the real world. In summary, the journalists that cover sports in movies portray the same roles that they take on in the real world. Some are just paparazzi, looking for the latest dirt on well-known athletes. Some don’t take themselves seriously and see their job as more entertainment than hard news. Finally, some do see their role as investigative journalists who bring to light important information on the star athletes that they cover.
