  • Transgender Representation on American Narrative Television from 2004-2014

    Transgender Representation on American Narrative Television from 2004-2014

    TRANSJACKING TELEVISION: TRANSGENDER REPRESENTATION ON AMERICAN NARRATIVE TELEVISION FROM 2004-2014 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Kelly K. Ryan May 2021 Examining Committee Members: Jan Fernback, Advisory Chair, Media and Communication Nancy Morris, Media and Communication Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Media and Communication Ron Becker, External Member, Miami University ABSTRACT This study considers the case of representation of transgender people and issues on American fictional television from 2004 to 2014, a period which represents a steady surge in transgender television characters relative to what came before, and prefigures a more recent burgeoning of transgender characters since 2014. The study thus positions the period of analysis as an historical period in the changing representation of transgender characters. A discourse analysis is employed that not only assesses the way that transgender characters have been represented, but contextualizes American fictional television depictions of transgender people within the broader sociopolitical landscape in which those depictions have emerged and which they likely inform. Television representations and the social milieu in which they are situated are considered as parallel, mutually informing discourses, including the ways in which those representations have been engaged discursively through reviews, news coverage and, in some cases, blogs. ii To Desmond, Oonagh and Eamonn For everything. And to my mother, Elaine Keisling, Who would have read the whole thing. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout the research and writing of this dissertation, I have received a great deal of support and assistance, and therefore offer many thanks. To my Dissertation Chair, Jan Fernback, whose feedback on my writing and continued support and encouragement were invaluable to the completion of this project.

  • The Rise of Controversial Content in Film

    The Rise of Controversial Content in Film

    The Climb of Controversial Film Content by Ashley Haygood Submitted to the Department of Communication Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Communication at Liberty University May 2007 Film Content ii Abstract This study looks at the change in controversial content in films during the 20th century. Original films made prior to 1968 and their remakes produced after were compared in the content areas of profanity, nudity, sexual content, alcohol and drug use, and violence. The advent of television, post-war effects and a proposed “Hollywood elite” are discussed as possible causes for the increase in controversial content. Commentary from industry professionals on the change in content is presented, along with an overview of American culture and the history of the film industry. Key words: film content, controversial content, film history, Hollywood, film industry, film remakes i. Film Content iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my family for their unwavering support during the last three years. Without their help and encouragement, I would not have made it through this program. I would also like to thank the professors of the Communications Department from whom I have learned skills and information that I will take with me into a life-long career in communications. Lastly, I would like to thank my wonderful Thesis committee, especially Dr. Kelly who has shown me great patience during this process. I have only grown as a scholar from this experience. ii.

    A Far Cry from Smallville She's Worked with Uwe Boll, Died

    Emmanuelle Vaugier: A Far Cry from Smallville Click, August 2009 She’s worked with Uwe Boll, died imaginatively in Saw (and returned to the series) and worked on everything from Smallville to Two and a Half Men and CSI:NY. Click recently caught up with the stunning, and very busy, Emmanuelle Vaugier for a chat about Movies, TV and death scenes! Did you feel Angell in CSI: New York was enough of a character in the beginning to be interesting to play? I did. I didn’t have a lot of information on the character when I first started on the show, other than that she was a lead detective. We started with three episodes, with a possibility of continuing on the show after that; but there were no guarantees. I think at the time they didn’t know where they were going to go with the character yet. It was an amazing journey for me to be a part of, as they created and evolved this character. It was great to have the opportunity to stay on the show for three years and have a relationship with Eddie Cahill’s character, as well as become more involved in the cases. There was a focus on interpersonal relationships for you in the fifth season, was it better or worse than speaking tech? Oh definitely better. Talking technical dialogue is procedural and it’s not the most exciting stuff to memorise. It’s very dry and methodical, and there’s a certain sort of delivery to it. When you get the chance to have a personal relationship where there is a more natural conversation; emotions develop, and tension builds, it’s a lot more fun to be a part of than just purely procedural work.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Sanctification of ear:F Images of the Religious in Horror Films Abstract Horror film functions both as a threat and a catharsis by confronting us with our fear of death, the supernatural, the unknown and irrational, ''the other" in general, a loss of identity, and forces beyond our control. Over the last century, religious symbols and themes have played a prominent and persistent role in the on-screen construction of this confrontation. That role is, at the same time, ambiguous insofar as religious iconography has become unhinged from a compelling moral vision and reduced to mere conventions that produce a quasi-religious quality to horror that lacks the symbolic power required to engage us at the deepest level of our being. Although religious symbols in horror films are conventional in their frequent use, they may have lost all connection to deeper human questions.

We also thank our editor, Lisa Renaud. About tHE mILKEn InstItutE The Milken Institute is an independent economic think tank whose mission is to improve the lives and economic conditions of diverse populations in the United States and around the world by helping business and public policy leaders identify and implement innovative ideas for creating broad-based prosperity. We put research to work with the goal of revitalizing regions and finding new ways to generate capital for people with original ideas. We focus on: human capital: the talent, knowledge, and experience of people, and their value to organizations, economies, and society; financial capital: innovations that allocate financial resources efficiently, especially to those who ordinarily would not have access to them, but who can best use them to build companies, create jobs, accelerate life-saving medical research, and solve long-standing social and economic problems; and social capital: the bonds of society that underlie economic advancement, including schools, health care, cultural institutions, and government services. By creating ways to spread the benefits of human, financial, and social capital to as many people as possible— by democratizing capital—we hope to contribute to prosperity and freedom in all corners of the globe.

I rise in Hollywood. And though she may now call Los Angeles home, Emanuelle remains one of Vancouver’s most sought­after show business exports and most frequently photographed faces. “Ever since I was in the second grade, acting was what I wanted to do,” she says. “I thought about a few other things, like being a veterinarian because I love animals so much, but then I realized very quickly that I don’t like to see animals suffer. Then I thought of law— from seeing lawyers on television— and then I quickly thought that I can do all of these things by being an actress. I can be a lawyer one day, a veterinarian the next and I can be an assassin on another day—and wouldn’t that be fun?” While Vaugier’s introduction to Hollywood began with appearances in such locally shot television productions as Highlander, Smallville and Supernatural, it was a recurring character on CSI: NY and the role of Mia alongside Charlie Sheen in the hit comedy Two and a Half Men that really put her on the fast track to stardom. “It definitely brings you to the forefront as far as visibility for other producers doing other projects goes,” she says of portraying Sheen’s on­screen love interest. “It opens doors and you get brought into more rooms; I loved doing it.
