  • Bazinga! Uma Análise Neotribal Da Sitcom the Big Bang Theory Arthur
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XVI Congresso de Ciências da Comunicação na Região Sudeste – São Paulo - SP – 12 a 14 de maio de 2011 Bazinga! Uma Análise Neotribal Da Sitcom The Big Bang Theory 1 Arthur Carlos FRANCO OLIVEIRA 2 Mirna TONUS 3 Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, Uberlândia, MG RESUMO O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a sitcom The Big Bang Theory sob a ótica da teoria neotribalista proposta por Michel Maffesoli. A partir do método observacional, assistiu-se a todos os episódios das quatro temporadas da sitcom, procurando identificar em seus personagens elementos que os relacionassem a uma neotribo. Assim, foi possível concluir que os sujeitos analisados não atendem a todas as características de uma neotribo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: sitcom, neotribalismo, televisão, humor. “Bazinga!” – Sheldon Cooper Desde o surgimento da televisão, suas funções têm sido as mais diversas. Informar, emocionar e fazer rir são alguns dos papéis que ela exerce no contexto atual. Suas atrações sempre buscam aumentar a audiência e cativar o público, sendo que, nos últimos anos, a televisão tem mais do que nunca se utilizado do público para fazer sucesso. Séries humorísticas, programas de auditório recheados de casos engraçados e comentários ácidos e inteligentes são alguns artifícios veiculados para divertir o público. E, entre os programas de humor, estão as chamadas sitcoms . O termo, segundo o Dicionário da Língua Portuguesa4, é uma série televisiva que aborda situações do dia–a-dia em tom de comédia. A palavra vem do termo inglês “situation comedy ”, que, literalmente, significa situação de comédia. Desde o seu 1 Trabalho apresentado no DT 4 – Comunicação Audiovisua do XVI Congresso de Ciências da Comunicação na Região Sudeste realizado de 12 a 14 de maio de 2011.

  • Subtitling, Working Memory, and L2 Learning: a Correlational Study Legendagem, Memória De Trabalho E Aprendizagem Em L2: Um Estudo Correlacional
    http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1984-6398201812773 Subtitling, Working Memory, and L2 Learning: A Correlational Study Legendagem, memória de trabalho e aprendizagem em L2: um estudo correlacional Rafael Matielo* *Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), Fortaleza, Ceará / Brasil [email protected] Roberta Pires de Oliveira** **Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianópolis, Santa Catarina / Brasil [email protected] Luciane Baretta*** ***Universidade Estadual do Centro-Oeste (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava, Paraná / Brasil [email protected] ABSTRACT: This study investigates the impact of intralingual and interlingual subtitles on Brazilian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners as a result of their processing of a North-American sitcom. More specifi cally, it examines whether subtitling interacts with one’s individual differences, working memory (WM) as the case in point. Thirty-six intermediate-level EFL learners were evenly divided into two experimental groups (intralingual subtitles and interlingual subtitles) and one control group (no subtitles). Participants’ performance was measured based on an L2 video comprehension test and an L2 vocabulary test. Participants’ performance was correlated with their scores on two WM tests. The results obtained revealed that both participants’ L2 video comprehension, as well as their L2 vocabulary test performance, did not signifi cantly interact with their WM capacity under any of the experimental conditions. These results are discussed in light of the possible processing mechanisms employed by the participants that may account for the lack of statistically signifi cant correlations found. KEYWORDS: subtitled videos; L2 video comprehension; L2 vocabulary learning; working memory. RESUMO: Este estudo investiga o impacto de legendas intralinguais e interlinguais em aprendizes brasileiros de Inglês como Língua Estrangeira (ILE) resultante do processamento de um sitcom Norte-Americano.

  • In American Television Studies Jews Are Generally Thrown Into the Grab Bag of White Ethnics
    Premium Jews In American television studies Jews are generally thrown into the grab bag of white ethnics. Tony's Italian, Uncle Jesse's Greek and Krusty's Jewish. From there it’s tempting to undergo an accounting process through which to determine the quantity and quality of Jewish-American TV presence. First you count up all the Jews. Then you see whether or not most of them are "good." You make sure they are smart and love their kids and you keep the stereotype police on speed dial just in case they’re too smart or love their kids too much. Finally, you make sure there's a certain amount of variety in your televisual Semites. There should be some men and some women, some old people and some young, some doctors and some lawyers. Such a process done today quickly shows that while there is certainly something left to be desired in Jewish-American representation, the Jews on TV are not that different from the ones filling out their census forms. Of course, this white-ethnic approach ignores some important things. Most obviously, I hope, is the fact that not all Jews are white. There are Sephardic Jews, Arab Jews and, yes, even Black Jews. The ethnic diversity of Jews in America pales in comparison to that of Israel, but it remains the case that not every American Jew has precious family stories about Uncle Tevya milking cows in a shtetl back in the Old Country. Even more so, there's the fact that Judaism is not an ethnicity.

    “IT REVEALS WHO I REALLY AM”: NEW METAPHORS, SYMBOLS, AND MOTIFS IN REPRESENTATIONS OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN POPULAR CULTURE By Summer Joy O’Neal A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Angela Hague, Chair Dr. David Lavery Dr. Robert Petersen Copyright © 2013 Summer Joy O’Neal ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There simply is not enough thanks to thank my family, my faithful parents, T. Brian and Pamela O’Neal, and my understanding sisters, Auburn and Taffeta, for their lifelong support; without their love, belief in my strengths, patience with my struggles, and encouragement, I would not be in this position today. I am forever grateful to my wonderful director, Dr. Angela Hague, whose commitment to this project went above and beyond what I deserved to expect. To the rest of my committee, Dr. David Lavery and Dr. Robert Petersen, for their seasoned advice and willingness to participate, I am also indebted. Beyond these, I would like to recognize some “unofficial” members of my committee, including Dr. Elyce Helford, Dr. Alicia Broderick, Ari Ne’eman, Chris Foss, and Melanie Yergau, who graciously offered me necessary guidance and insightful advice for this project, particularly in the field of Disability Studies. Yet most of all, Ephesians 3.20-21. iii ABSTRACT Autism has been sensationalized by the media because of the disorder’s purported prevalence: Diagnoses of this condition that was traditionally considered to be quite rare have radically increased in recent years, and an analogous fascination with autism has emerged in the field of popular culture.
