  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

    World Television Premiere Event: The Film 'Pedro' Airs on MTV, MTV Tr3s, mtvU & LOGO on Wednesday, April 1 at 8:00 PM ET/PT Introduced by President Bill Clinton, BMP Films and MTV Bring Academy Award-Winner Dustin Lance Black's ("Milk") Story of The Real World's Pedro Zamora To Life --MTV and World Class Partners to Help Mobilize Young People to Get Tested During STD Awareness Month SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 4, 2009 -- MTV, mtvU, LOGO and MTV Tr3s, with subtitles in Spanish, will present the world television premiere of Pedro, a movie based on the remarkable life of The Real World's Pedro Zamora, on Wednesday, April 1 at 8:00 PM ET/PT. BMP Films, in association with MTV, produced this biopic written by Academy Award-winner Dustin Lance Black ("Milk"). For more information and to view the movie trailer, please visit www.pedro.mtv.com. In 1994, Zamora captured the hearts of millions as the first-ever openly gay, HIV-positive main character on TV -- on MTV's The Real World: San Francisco. Zamora's time in the house on Lombard Street brought a face to the AIDS crisis. President Bill Clinton has long credited Zamora with personalizing and humanizing the epidemic, and he will introduce Pedro when it makes its world television premiere April 1st. "To this day, Pedro Zamora remains an extraordinary example of what a huge impact one young person can make in our world," President Clinton said. "I'm glad to have known him, and I'm grateful his life has been able to inspire and enrich so many others." Told through the eyes of his friends and family, the film Pedro celebrates the extraordinary life a young man who found out he was HIV positive at 17, then made the courageous decision to dedicate his life to speaking out about the disease.

  • Bling Ring: a Gangue De Hollywood, Ela Apresenta Todos Os Detalhes De Uma Das Quadrilhas Mais Audaciosas De Nossos Tempos
    1 2 Entre 2008 e 2009, as residências de Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton e diversas outras celebridades foram invadidas e saqueadas. Os ladrões, um grupo de jovens criados em um endinheirado subúrbio de Los Angeles, levaram o equivalente a 3 milhões de dólares em joias, dinheiro e artigos de grife, como relógios Rolex, bolsas Louis Vuitton, perfumes Chanel e jaquetas Diane von Furstenberg. As notícias surpreendentes sobre o caso chocaram Hollywood e intrigaram o mundo. Por que esses garotos, que em nada correspondiam à tradicional imagem dos bandidos, realizaram crimes tão ousados? A jornalista Nancy Jo Sales entrevistou todos os envolvidos, incluindo os pais e os advogados dos jovens, e até mesmo as celebridades que sofreram os assaltos. Em Bling Ring: a gangue de Hollywood, ela apresenta todos os detalhes de uma das quadrilhas mais audaciosas de nossos tempos. A história real também inspirou o filme de Sofia Coppola, estrelado por Emma Watson. 3 Da esquerda para a direita, no alto: Diana Tamayo, Jonathan Ajar, Alexis Neiers e Rachel Lee; embaixo: Nick Prugo, Courtney Ames e Roy Lopez. 4 PREFÁCIO Na primavera de 2010, recebi um recado de alguém do escritório de Sofia Coppola dizendo que ela estava interessada em comprar os direitos de filmagem da minha reportagem “The Suspects Wore Louboutins” [Os suspeitos usavam Louboutin] para a revista Vanity Fair, que tinha acabado de ser publicada na edição dedicada a Hollywood daquele ano. Fiquei entusiasmada, mas também intrigada em saber por que essa história teria atraído o interesse de Sofia Coppola. Era sobre uma quadrilha formada por adolescentes entre 2008 e 2009 que tinham escolhido como alvo as casas da nova geração de astros de Hollywood.

Gatson The present work examines the construction of race on reality television through the use of an exemplar in this genre, MTV‘s The Real World. By the sheer fact of its popularity and ubiquity, as The Real World is nearly two decades old and is the longest- running example of the genre, reality television programming warrants deeper academic investigation.

APPROVAL Name: Heather Lyn Fleming Degree: Master of Arts Title of Thesis: Works-In-Progress: An Analysis of Canadian Mommyblogs. Examining Committee: Chair: Dr. Gary McCarron Associate Professor ___________________________________________ Dr. Zoë Druick Senior Supervisor Associate Professor, School of Communication ___________________________________________ Dr. Catherine A. Murray Supervisor Professor, School of Communication ___________________________________________ Dr. Kathy Mezei Professor Department of Humanities Date Defended/Approved: Sept. 24, 2008 ii ABSTRACT In this thesis, I explore why mommyblogs are controversial, who the mommybloggers are and what they are doing, what effect commercialization has on mommyblogs, and whether mommyblogs are dialogic spaces. According to Bakhtin, dialogic narratives are those which allow for heteroglossia, or a diversity of voices. I argue that the interlinked story of a blog community—of which the mommyblogosphere is one example—is an innovative genre of writing. I contend that mommyblogs are dialogic in several ways, some that are unique to the mommyblogosphere, and others that can be extrapolated to any blog community.
