Thesis from Parks to Presidents: Political
THESIS FROM PARKS TO PRESIDENTS: POLITICAL SENSIBILITIES OF NARRATIVE POLITICAL FICTION Submitted by Seth J. Willden Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Master’s Committee Advisor: Nick Marx Karrin Vasby Anderson Doug Cloud Copyright by Seth J. Willden 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT FROM PARKS TO PRESIDENTS: POLITICAL SENSIBILITIES OF NARRATIVE POLITICAL FICTION This thesis examines the ways televised narrative political fiction can portray political sensibilities. Using the NBC program, Parks and Recreation (2009-2015), and the Netflix streaming service program, House of Cards (2013-2016), I explore how narrative television presents political philosophies to audiences, equipping them to discuss political discourse. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before we begin discussing the political implications of narrative television, I must first provide a narrative of acknowledgement. The MA program in Communication Studies is only a two-year program, and this document marks the end of that two-year journey. But I have been at Colorado State for five years. In a way, the last chapter of this thesis will be the last literal chapter of my five-year career as a CSU student. I wish to first thank the professors that transformed my understanding of the world: Dr. Thomas Dunn, Dr. Scott Diffrient, and Dr. Eric Aoki. You were my first communication studies professors. Each in turn provided excellent education, guidance and support throughout my time as a scholar. I will never forget your pedagogical styles and hunger for understanding the communicative processes of our world. Next I want to thank my thesis committee: Dr.

A small town that serves as Everytown, USA, Pawnee has problems, from its obesity crisis to the raccoon infestation to the corrupt Sweetums Candy Company dominating the economy. But no problem is too big or small to be solved by Pawnee local government. This committee begins at season 6, right when the pretentious town of Eagleton goes bankrupt and the merger begins. Will Leslie be recalled as city councilwoman? What will happen with Rent-A-Swag? How will two towns that have lived as sworn enemies integrate? From Ron to Donna to Ben to Ann to Garry-Jerry-Larry-Terry, it's up to Pawnee's Department of Parks and Recreation to save the merger--and perhaps the town itself. 1 Letter from the Director ________________________________________ Delegates, Welcome! It is my privilege to welcome you to FCMUN as your crisis director. Last year, I was the crisis director for the Democratic National Committee and it was a blast, ending in Chance the Rapper being declared Emperor of my home city of Chicago, Bill De Blasio annihilating Trump Tower with the help of his assistant Kim Kardashian, and Bernie leading a secession movement for the northeast states. I can’t wait to see you all plot and solve more crazy crises.

JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE EDUCATION • Volume 14 • Number 1 • Summer 2015 Swansonomics: Using “Parks and Recreation” to Teach Economics L. Brooke Conaway and Christopher Clark1 ABSTRACT Based on a first-year multidisciplinary course, Swansonomics is a class where students examine the libertarian beliefs espoused by the character Ron Swanson from the television series Parks and Recreation. The show provides great examples of rent seeking, fiscal policy issues, social policy issues, and bureaucratic incentive structures. These Parks and Recreation video clips can be used in any class to cover a variety of issues. Examples of topics include the expected economic consequences of specific political or economic philosophies, unintended consequences of policies, various systems of taxation, public and private incentive structures, and varying degrees of capitalism and government intervention. Introduction This paper is based on a first-year multidisciplinary course taught at a liberal arts university. The course covers a variety of topics, with particular emphasis on different economic systems, varying degrees of capitalism, government intervention, and public choice issues.

PARKS AND RECREATION "The Softball Game" Written by Dave De Poto and Paul Little [email protected] WGAW Registered COLD OPEN INT. PIONEER HALLWAY - MORNING - DAY 1 LESLIE walks down the hallway. She stops to fill up her mug at the water cooler. JOE from the Sewage Department creeps up behind her. He closes his eyes and sniffs in her hair. Leslie is startled/disgusted. LESLIE Oh my God! What are you doing? JOE I’m sorry. There’s just something about your scent that invigorates me. LESLIE Well, congratulations. That’s one of the creepiest things a guy has ever said to me. (beat, embarrassed) At this water cooler. JOE (sincerely) Thank you. But even though you send out these vibes that attract me to you like a raccoon in heat, I didn’t come here only to seduce you. I came to give your poor Parks Department a fair warning. LESLIE A fair warning for what? JOE Looks like you won the unlucky slot of playing us again at this year’s picnic. LESLIE What!? We’re playing you guys!? Again!? "The Softball Game" 2. LESLIE TALKING HEAD LESLIE (CONT’D) Each year city hall holds a “company picnic” of sorts for each department to become more well acquainted with its fellow branches of government. Different departments compete in various activities such as pie-eating, Jell- O tossing, and Jell-O eating. (embarrassed pause) Unfortunately, last year the Parks Department got paired up in a game of softball with the Sewage Department, who used every dirty trick in the book.

Tewell Reference & Instruction Librarian Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus 1 University Plaza Brooklyn, NY 11201 Email: [email protected] Phone: 718-780-4513 Abstract Library anxiety, defined as the fear of using libraries, is a psychological barrier that impedes academic achievement and the development of information literacy. Using key episodes and protagonists from Community and Parks and Recreation , this paper will demonstrate how library anxiety is represented in these series. From the infamously manipulative public librarian Tammy Swanson in Parks and Recreation to the library as pillow fight battlefield in Community , these indications of anxiety towards libraries will be evaluated with the intent of illuminating current discourse in popular television regarding library use. 1 What’s really funny is we’ve been doing Q&A’s about [Parks and Recreation] , and people from local governments have said, “You guys nailed it about the library.” We were just making it up as a joke on the show, but I guess everyone hates the library.

Hayley Jones a Study of Romance: Using a System of Differential
Math A Study of Romance: Using a System of Diferential Equations Sponsoring Faculty Member: Dr. Simon Hwang Hayley Jones Love is by no means an easy thing to measure. By using a system of diferen- tial equations and set parameters, we will observe the changes in behavior of two lovers’ feelings for each other. We will show graphs of these events, and describe what kind of behavior each graph has about the origin. Using this information, we will be able to determine what outcome the relationship will most likely have. Introduction In Strogatz’ article (3), he proposes the idea of using diferential equations to predict the outcome of a relationship. Sprott’s article (2), takes this idea and he dives into a feld that is rarely explored: using mathematics to describe and predict the outcomes of a romantic relationship. He does this by using difer- ential equations and changing parameters depending on how the two feel for one another. The concept of love is difcult to measure because it is a complex matter. In the case for this project, we will explore only the feelings of two individuals that are in a relationship. All outside people, such as: family, friends, and other love interest, will be completely omitted from this study. This would cause new parameters to occur, and in turn, a totally diferent set of diferential equations to form. For now, only the two people whose feelings are being discussed will exist. Consider the relationship between two people. There is never a certain out- come that will occur from this love afair.

Mémoire de master de Mémoire Auteure : Soline BEURDELEY Sous la direction de Frédéric Lambert Date de dépôt : 13 juin 2016 BEURDELEY Soline| Mémoire de master rechercher Médias, Langages et Sociétés | Juin 2016 Avertissement La Faculté n’entend donner aucune approbation ni improbation aux opinions émises dans ce mémoire ; ces opinions doivent être considérées comme propres à leur auteur. - 2 - BEURDELEY Soline| Mémoire de master rechercher Médias, Langages et Sociétés | Juin 2016 Résumé : L’attrait pour les fictions ne tient pas en ce qu’elles sont vraies ou non, mais en ce qu’elles sont vraisemblables, c’est-à-dire qu’elles proposent une forme de réalité qui pourrait être, bien qu’elle n’est pas. A ce titre, les mockumentaries proposent une relecture intéressant de la factualité. Forme hybride de fiction reprenant les codes connus des documentaires sans pour autant avoir la volonté d’induire les téléspectateurs en erreur, ils s’inscrivent dans une démarche particulière de dénonciation de la factualité. Parks and Recreation est une sitcom américaine diffusée de 2009 à 2015 sur NBC et narre la vie du département de Parcs et Loisir de la mairie de la petite ville fictive de Pawnee, dans l’Indiana. L’histoire débute quand sa directrice adjointe, Leslie Knope, décide de construire un parc sur une parcelle de terrain abandonnée, mais elle nous promène bien au-delà que cette fosse :à travers elle, c’est toute une petite Amérique qui nous est narrée, dans ce qu’elle a de meilleure comme dans ce qu’elle a de pire, et nous propose un instant de croire en l’existence de cette petite ville fictive.

Michelle B. Baxter. Stereotype, Or Archetype? the Librarian in Popular Culture
CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Carolina Digital Repository Michelle B. Baxter. Stereotype, or Archetype? The Librarian in Popular Culture. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April, 2014. 51 pages. Advisor: Claudia Gollop. Librarian characters in popular culture media are often viewed as stereotypes. However, these characters actually make up a new set of archetypes of the Librarian. First, literature reveals three common trends in professional and academic articles regarding librarian stereotyping in popular media: identification and discussion of 2 main stereotypes; librarian characters in popular culture; and male librarians in popular culture. Next, 5 new archetypes and several sub-archetypes are proposed, followed by examples and explanations of shared traits to prove their validity as everyday archetypes. These examples are studied using close readings of characters from popular media, and a combined lens of Interpretational Phenomenological Analysis, Reader-Response Theory, and Archetypal Criticism. Finally, this paper suggests that it is more constructive to view past and future librarian characters through the lens of these archetypes, rather than assuming they are negative stereotypes.
