Gladden Community House had proposed to upgrade the ball fields located behind West Central School in three phases: repairing the bleachers, rebuilding the dug- outs, and repairing the concession stand.

  • From Disney to Disaster: the Disney Corporation’S Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks
    From Disney to Disaster: The Disney Corporation’s Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks BY Kelsey N. Reese Spring 2021 WMNST 492W: Senior Capstone Seminar Dr. Jill Wood Reese 2 INTRODUCTION The popularized phrase “celebrity trainwreck” has taken off in the last ten years, and the phrase actively evokes specified images (Doyle, 2017). These images usually depict young women hounded by paparazzi cameras that are most likely drunk or high and half naked after a wild night of partying (Doyle, 2017). These girls then become the emblem of celebrity, bad girl femininity (Doyle, 2017; Kiefer, 2016). The trainwreck is always a woman and is usually subject to extra attention in the limelight (Doyle, 2017). Trainwrecks are in demand; almost everything they do becomes front page news, especially if their actions are seen as scandalous, defamatory, or insane. The exponential growth of the internet in the early 2000s created new avenues of interest in celebrity life, including that of social media, gossip blogs, online tabloids, and collections of paparazzi snapshots (Hamad & Taylor, 2015; Mercer, 2013). What resulted was 24/7 media access into the trainwreck’s life and their long line of outrageous, commiserable actions (Doyle, 2017). Kristy Fairclough coined the term trainwreck in 2008 as a way to describe young, wild female celebrities who exemplify the ‘good girl gone bad’ image (Fairclough, 2008; Goodin-Smith, 2014). While the coining of the term is rather recent, the trainwreck image itself is not; in their book titled Trainwreck, Jude Ellison Doyle postulates that the trainwreck classification dates back to feminism’s first wave with Mary Wollstonecraft (Anand, 2018; Doyle, 2017).

  • Disney Letar Ny Stjärna I Sverige
    Disney letar ny stjärna i Sverige I höst är det premiär för ungdomsserien Violetta på Disney Channel i Sverige. Tv-serien har på kort tid etablerat sig som ett ungdomsfenomen på flera internationella marknader där programmets musik spelas flitigt även utanför tv-rutan. Inför premiären i Sverige söker Disney nu tillsammans med Universal MusiC oCh Spinnup en lokal talang för att spela in seriens svenska ledmotiv. Tv-serien Violetta följer huvudpersonen med samma namn i allt det som hör tonårstiden till; kompisar, kärlek, familj och drömmar om framtiden. En stor del av historien utspelar sig på den sång- och dansskola som ’Violetta’ går på och musik är en integrerad del i berättelsen där varje avsnitt innehåller flera specialskrivna låtar. - Det känns fantastiskt roligt att Violetta snart kommer hit. Efter succéerna med Hannah Montana och High School Musical har vi väntat på nästa serie med lika stor potential och att döma av vad vi sett på andra marknader har vi nu det i Violetta. I ett sådant sammanhang känns det extra kul att kunna vidareutveckla vårt samarbete med Universal Music för att hitta rätt sångtalang, säger Anna Glanmark, Marknadsdirektör, The Walt Disney Company Nordic. Arbetet med att identifiera rätt talang för det svenska ledmotivet görs i samarbete med Universal Music genom Spinnup som är en digital distributionstjänst för osignade artister. Det som gör Spinnup unikt är att de osignade artisterna som distribuerar sin musik via tjänsten har tillgång till ett dedikerat team av Spinnup Scouter som söker nya talanger att jobba med, nu även med fokus att hitta Disneys nya stjärna.

  • On the Disney Channel's Hannah Mont
    Tween Intimacy and the Problem of Public Life in Children’s Media: “Having It All” on the Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana Tyler Bickford Contradictions of public participation pervade the everyday lives of con- temporary children and those around them. In the past two decades, the children’s media and consumer industries have expanded and dramat- ically transformed, especially through the development and consolida- tion of “tweens”—people ages nine to thirteen, not yet “teenagers” but no longer quite “children”—as a key consumer demographic (Cook and Kaiser 2004). Commentators increasingly bemoan the destabilization of age identities, pointing to children’s purportedly more “mature” taste in music, clothes, and media as evidence of a process of “kids getting older younger” (Schor 2004), and to adults’ consumer practices as evidence of their infantilization (Barber 2007). Tween discourses focus especially on girls, for whom the boundary between childhood innocence and adolescent or adult independence is fraught with moral panic around sexuality, which only heightens anxieties about changing age identities. Girls’ consumption and media participation increasingly involve per- formances in the relatively public spaces of social media, mobile media, and the Internet (Banet-Weiser 2011; Bickford, in press; Kearney 2007), so the public sphere of consumption is full of exuberant participation in mass-mediated publics. Beyond literal performances online and on social media, even everyday unmediated consumption—of toys, clothes, food, and entertainment—is fraught with contradictory meanings invoking children’s public image as symbols of domesticity, innocence, and the family and anxiety about children’s intense affiliation with peer com- munities outside the family (Pugh 2009).

  • Gender Biased Hiding of Extraordinary Abilities in Girl-Powered Disney Channel Sitcoms from the 2000S
    SECRET SUPERSTARS AND OTHERWORLDLY WIZARDS: Gender Biased Hiding of Extraordinary Abilities in Girl-Powered Disney Channel Sitcoms from the 2000s By © 2017 Christina H. Hodel M.A., New York University, 2008 B.A., California State University, Long Beach, 2006 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Germaine Halegoua, Ph.D. Joshua Miner, Ph.D. Catherine Preston, Ph.D. Ronald Wilson, Ph.D. Alesha Doan, Ph.D. Date Defended: 18 November 2016 The dissertation committee for Christina H. Hodel certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: SECRET SUPERSTARS AND OTHERWORLDLY WIZARDS: Gender Biased Hiding of Extraordinary Abilities in Girl-Powered Disney Channel Sitcoms from the 2000s Chair: Germaine Halegoua, Ph.D. Date Approved: 25 January 2017 ii ABSTRACT Conformity messaging and subversive practices potentially harmful to healthy models of feminine identity are critical interpretations of the differential depiction of the hiding and usage of tween girl characters’ extraordinary abilities (e.g., super/magical abilities and celebrity powers) in Disney Channel television sitcoms from 2001-2011. Male counterparts in similar programs aired by the same network openly displayed their extraordinariness and were portrayed as having considerable and usually uncontested agency. These alternative depictions of differential hiding and secrecy in sitcoms are far from speculative; these ideas were synthesized from analyses of sitcom episodes, commentary in magazine articles, and web-based discussions of these series. Content analysis, industrial analysis (including interviews with industry personnel), and critical discourse analysis utilizing the multi-faceted lens of feminist theory throughout is used in this study to demonstrate a unique decade in children’s programming about super powered girls.

  • D-Signed for Girls: Disney Channel and Tween Fashion
    1 Blue, Morgan G. (Final Draft: June 2013) Published with images in Film, Fashion & Consumption Special Issue: TV & Fashion, Ed. Helen Warner, volume 2, number 1 (2013). D-Signed for Girls: Disney Channel and Tween Fashion During the 2010 back-to-school retail season, the Walt Disney Company introduced the first in a growing collection of fashion lines for tween girls under the umbrella label D- Signed, available at Target stores throughout the United States. The initial line was based on the costumes of lead character Sonny Munroe of Sonny with a Chance (Marmel et al. 2009–2011), played by Demi Lovato. This was not Disney’s first foray into fashion for pre-teen and teen girl markets. Previous lines include a multitude of character licensing deals throughout Disney’s history and, more recently, a line inspired by Raven-Symoné’s character Raven Baxter of That’s So Raven (Poryes et al. 2003–2007), and fashion lines promoting Disney stars Miley Cyrus of Hannah Montana (Poryes and Peterman 2006– 2011) and Selena Gomez of Wizards of Waverly Place (Greenwald et al. 2007–2012) as designers, not to mention Hilary Duff’s independently produced fashion and consumer products collection, Stuff by Hilary Duff (2004). The introduction of the D-Signed collection, however, marks an unprecedented expansion of synergistic marketing strategies for comprehensive lifestyle branding to the tween girl market in the United States. The production and exponential growth of this particular fashion collection allow girls to literally (at Target stores or at home) and virtually (via sponsored online dress-up games and social networks) try on the ‘edgy’ fashions of Sonny Munroe, among other Disney Channel characters.
