THE HOLLYWOOD YOUTH NARRATIVE AND THE FAMILY VALUES CAMPAIGN, 1980-1992 by Clare Connors Bachelor of Arts, Macalester College, 1982 Masters of Arts, University of Louisville, 1987 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2005 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Clare Connors It was defended on April 15, 2005 and approved by Dr. Marcia Landy Dr. Troy Boone Dr. Carol Stabile Dr. Lucy Fischer Dissertation Director ii THE HOLLYWOOD YOUTH NARRATIVE AND THE FAMILY VALUES CAMPAIGN, 1980-1992 Clare Connors, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 The dissertation seeks to identify and analyze the cultural work performed by the Hollywood youth narrative during the 1980s and early nineties, a period that James Davison Hunter has characterized as a domestic “culture war.” This era of intense ideological confrontation between philosophical agendas loosely defined as “liberal” and “conservative,” increasing social change, and social polarization and gender/sexual orientation backlash began with Ronald Reagan’s landslide victory in 1980 and continued for twelve years through the presidency of George Bush, Sr. The dissertation examines the Hollywood youth narrative in the context of the family values debate and explicates its role in negotiating and resolving social conflict in a period of intense social change and ideological confrontation. The dissertation theorizes the historic and cultural function of the Hollywood youth narrative in “translating” complex social problems into generational and familial conflicts that can be easily, if superficially, resolved through conventional Hollywood genre narrative structures. -

OFFICIAL BALLOT You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet!
OFFICIAL BALLOT You ain't heard nothin' yet! May the Force be with you. There's no place like home. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Show me the money! American Film Institute is grateful to for their support of AFI’s ongoing celebration of the cinema centennial. Dear Juror: You have been chosen to participate in a historic moment in American film. Ten years ago, AFI invited leaders from across the film community—artists, scholars, critics and historians—to select the 100 greatest American movies of all time. It was an event designed to celebrate the cinema centennial and to catalyze a national conversation about the movies. And it worked. AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies and the annual specials that have followed continue to draw attention to the classics of American film—driving audiences to watch and re-watch the movies and stimulating discussion from the watercooler to the Internet. This year, to honor the 10th Anniversary of the AFI’s 100 Years… Series, AFI is repolling the experts and asking, “What are the greatest American films of all time? And which is the greatest?” AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies—10th Anniversary Edition will allow us to add the past decade of American films to the debate, as well as to consider a changing cultural perspective. This is a poll we will conduct every ten years across the 21st century, so now is the time to cast your vote for the decade and help AFI begin the conversation for a new generation. The celebration begins here—with you.
