  • Klassics for Kids: the Reception of Antiquity in Children's
    Klassics for Kids: The Reception of Antiquity in Children’s Entertainment Many, if not most, of today’s children will not get their first exposure to the ancient world from an ancient source, or even from a myth compendium like the justly famous D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths. Instead, they are more likely to meet people from Zeus to Caesar in their favorite picture book, Saturday morning cartoon, or PG rated movie. These sources are often what draws people to the Classics in the first place, and even more often provide the foundation of their understanding of the ancient world. Indeed, large numbers of students young and old are shocked to find that Ovid’s Hercules is not the same as the man they knew from Disney movies. Understanding antiquity’s status in the modern world therefore requires us to study the materials that craft the lens through which new generations will see it. This panel hopes to be a first step in that direction. Taking their cue from CAMWS’ recent thought provoking special panels on Classical Reception in Westerns, Sword and Sandal films, and other media, this panel will approach Greece and Rome’s role in children’s entertainment from both scholarly and pedagogical perspectives. The nature and significance of divergences from ancient sources will be discussed, as will strategies to maximize the benefits children’s television, books and films provide to the classroom while minimizing the potential problems they can cause. While this panel will be focused on children’s entertainment generally, the multiform nature of this entertainment provides a vantage point by which to combine multiple genres of reception analysis into a single panel.

    Center for Information, Technology & Society Furthering Advances in Communication, Computers, and Networks for Improved Education, Health, and Humanity 466 Pleasant Street Melrose, MA 02176-4522 (fax: 781-662-6882) 781-662-4044 [email protected], www.CyberTrails.Org Response to FCC Docket No. 99-360 "Public Interest Obligations TV Broadcast Licensees" By: The Center for Information, Technology & Society (CITS) Date: March 20, 2000 For the record, CITS is a 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit dedicated to improving all forms of communications that better society, culture, and knowledge. Introduction: CITS was originally the Program for Information, Technology & Society at MIT. In 1986 the Center became a freestanding nonprofit. In 1996, the Director, Dr. W. Curtiss Priest, was recognized by Newsweek as "one of the 50 people who matter most on the Internet." The Center has worked closely with government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Education, in developing an Internet world that is informative and constructive for students in K-12 education. With the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Center has developed a web-based volunteer organization site. Links are provided at the Center's web site CyberTrails.Org Preface: CITS recognizes that this country is witnessing a degree of privatization that is unparalleled in its history. That this privatization has produced many efficiencies is also acknowledged. Nonetheless, this organization does not believe that self-serving corporate interests will provide the healthy world for its citizens nor its children. Thus, it is firmly in support of a vigorous role for the FCC to champion the "public good." That there are significant political forces that would dissolve the FCC also cannot be ignored.

  • Spiritual Odysseys in Children's Television
    Spiritual Odysseys in Children’s Television The story of Odysseus’ wanderings is part of North American story telling to the point that it can be classified as modern folklore. (Hardwick 2007). Although other aspects of Homer’s Odyssey, such as the Telemachiad and the Phaeacians, have fallen by the wayside, the dangers, temptations, and adventures that Odysseus encounters on his journey home are interwoven throughout much of children’s literature (Norton 2003, Huck & Kiefer 2004). Unsurprising, visually appealing encounters with sirens, Cyclopes, and sentient whirlpools often appear in children’s television. However, these exciting encounters are only the superficial focus of their stories. Instead, children’s television often transforms the myth of Odysseus’ journey into a journey of personal growth for the shows’ young protagonists. It is not uncommon for televised adaptations of the wanders of Odysseus to relegate Odysseus to a secondary role or outright replace him with a younger character. To give a few examples, Duck Tales’ episode “Homer Sweet Homer” sends Odysseus’s nephew, Homer, to retrace his famous relative’s steps with the help of the McDuck family, and Odie, a descended of Odysseus in Class of the Titans, encounters Calypso, Scylla, and Aeolus in the episode “Odie- sey.” These youthful characters act as stand-ins for the young viewers. As a result, Odysseus becomes older relative or father-figure to the young travelers and an object of inspiration. As the heroes make their journeys, they also struggle with their own personal feelings of weakness, failure, or inferiority and aspire to match Odysseus’ accomplishments. Rather than exploring all instances of this phenomenon, the paper will seek to illuminate the personal growth aspects of Television Odysseys through one example, an episode of Martha Speaks called “Truman and the Deep Blue Sea.” Martha Speaks is a television show aimed at children from ages 4 to 7.

  • Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945
    Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 By Charles David Shaw A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor Professor Victoria E. Bonnell Summer 2015 Abstract Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 by Charles David Shaw Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair This dissertation addresses the impact of World War II on Uzbek society and contends that the war era should be seen as seen as equally transformative to the tumultuous 1920s and 1930s for Soviet Central Asia. It argues that via the processes of military service, labor mobilization, and the evacuation of Soviet elites and common citizens that Uzbeks joined the broader “Soviet people” or sovetskii narod and overcame the prejudices of being “formerly backward” in Marxist ideology. The dissertation argues that the army was a flexible institution that both catered to national cultural (including Islamic ritual) and linguistic difference but also offered avenues for assimilation to become Ivan-Uzbeks, part of a Russian-speaking, pan-Soviet community of victors. Yet as the war wound down the reemergence of tradition and violence against women made clear the limits of this integration. The dissertation contends that the war shaped the contours of Central Asian society that endured through 1991 and created the basis for thinking of the “Soviet people” as a nation in the 1950s and 1960s.
