    Re-mixing Old Character Tropes on Screen: Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and the New Femininity By Melina Kristine Dabney A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Film Studies 2017 This thesis entitled: Re-mixing Old Character Tropes on Screen: Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and the new Femininity written by Melina Kristine Dabney has been approved for the Department of Film Studies ________________________________________________ (Melinda Barlow, Ph.D., Committee Chair) ________________________________________________ (Suranjan Ganguly, Ph.D., Committee Member) ________________________________________________ (Reiland Rabaka, Ph.D., Committee Member) Date: The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we Find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards Of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Dabney, Melina Kristine (BA/MA Film Studies) Re-mixing Old Character Tropes on Screen: Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and the New Femininity Thesis directed by Professor Melinda Barlow While there is a substantial amount of scholarship on the depiction of African American women in film and television, this thesis exposes the new formations of African American femininity on screen. African American women have consistently resisted, challenged, submitted to, and remixed racial myths and sexual stereotypes existing in American cinema and television programming. Mainstream film and television practices significantly contribute to the reinforcement of old stereotypes in contemporary black women characters. However, based on the efforts of African American producers like Shonda Rhimes, who has attempted to insert more realistic renderings of African American women in her recent television shows, black women’s representation is undergoing yet another shift in contemporary media.

  • OPENING LEADS and SIGNALS Leading From
    OPENING LEADS AND SIGNALS Leading from a Sequence A sequence consists of two or more cards in consecutive order of rank e.g. K Q J or Q J 10 9. A holding such as K Q 10 or Q J 9 is called a broken sequence. Leading from the top of a sequence is usually the best opening lead that you can make, for two reasons 1. It is a safe lead i.e. it has a low risk of giving away a trick. 2. It gives partner accurate information about your holding. Lead the A from a A K (You need to have a partnership agreement about this) Lead the K from K Q J x or K Q 10 x Lead the Q from Q J 10 x or Q J 9 x Lead the J from J 10 9 x Lead the J from A J 10 9 x (the top of an interior sequence against no-trump) Do not lead the Q from Q J x x unless partner has bid the suit You don’t usually lead K from K Q x x but later in the play it may be desirable The Attitude Signal Sitting in third seat, you normally play a high card if you want the suit continued and a low card if you do not want the suit continued.
