  • ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media
    ABSTRACT Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation Yueqin Yang, M.A. Mentor: Douglas R. Ferdon, Jr., Ph.D. This thesis commits to highlighting major stereotypes concerning Asians and Asian Americans found in the U.S. media, the “Yellow Peril,” the perpetual foreigner, the model minority, and problematic representations of gender and sexuality. In the U.S. media, Asians and Asian Americans are greatly underrepresented. Acting roles that are granted to them in television series, films, and shows usually consist of stereotyped characters. It is unacceptable to socialize such stereotypes, for the media play a significant role of education and social networking which help people understand themselves and their relation with others. Within the limited pages of the thesis, I devote to exploring such labels as the “Yellow Peril,” perpetual foreigner, the model minority, the emasculated Asian male and the hyper-sexualized Asian female in the U.S. media. In doing so I hope to promote awareness of such typecasts by white dominant culture and society to ethnic minorities in the U.S. Stereotypes of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. Media: Appearance, Disappearance, and Assimilation by Yueqin Yang, B.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of American Studies ___________________________________ Douglas R.

  • Media Industry Approaches to Comic-To-Live-Action Adaptations and Race
    From Serials to Blockbusters: Media Industry Approaches to Comic-to-Live-Action Adaptations and Race by Kathryn M. Frank A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Lisa A. Nakamura Associate Professor Aswin Punathambekar © Kathryn M. Frank 2015 “I don't remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result.” ― Edward W. Said, Palestine For Mom and Dad, who taught me to be my own hero ii Acknowledgements There are so many people without whom this project would never have been possible. First and foremost, my parents, Paul and MaryAnn Frank, who never blinked when I told them I wanted to move half way across the country to read comic books for a living. Their unending support has taken many forms, from late-night pep talks and airport pick-ups to rides to Comic-Con at 3 am and listening to a comics nerd blather on for hours about why Man of Steel was so terrible. I could never hope to repay the patience, love, and trust they have given me throughout the years, but hopefully fewer midnight conversations about my dissertation will be a good start. Amanda Lotz has shown unwavering interest and support for me and for my work since before we were formally advisor and advisee, and her insight, feedback, and attention to detail kept me invested in my own work, even in times when my resolve to continue writing was flagging.

Nam op 18-jarige leeftijd de naam Ward aan; gebruikte later de naam Sax Rohmer ook in het persoonlijke leven. Ander pseudoniem: Michael Furey Carrière: bracht als journalist verslag uit van de onderwereld in Londen's Limehouse; schreef liedjes en sketches voor conferenciers; woonde later in New York. Familie: getrouwd met Rose Elizabeth Knox, 1909 (foto: Fantastic Fiction). website voor alle verhalen en informatie: The Page of Fu Manchu: http://www.njedge.net/~knapp/FuFrames.htm Detective: Sir Dennis Nayland Smith Nayland Smith was voormalig hoofd van de CID van Scotland Yard en is nu in dienst van de British Intelligence. Sidekick: Dr. Petrie. Tegenspeler: Doctor Fu-Manchu Op de vraag van Petrie welke pervers genie aan het hoofd staat van de afschuwelijke geheime beweging die al zoveel slachtoffers in Europaheeft gemaakt, antwoordt Smith in ‘De geheimzinnige Dr. Fu-Manchu’: "Stel je iemand voor: lang, mager, katachtig en hoge schouders, met een voorhoofd als dat van Shakespeare en het gezicht van Satan, een kaalgeschoren schedel en langwerpige magnetiserende ogen als van een kat. Geef hem al de wrede sluwheid van een geheel Oosters ras, samengebracht in één reusachtig intellect, met alle hulpbronnen van vroegere en tegenwoordige wetenschap... Stel je dat schrikwekkende wezen voor en je hebt een krankzinnig beeld van Dr. Fu-Manchu, het Gele Gevaar, vlees geworden in één mens". Zo werd Fu-Manchu als een Chinese crimineel in 1912 in het verhaal "The Zayat Kiss" geïntroduceerd.

    FİI~M YÖNETMENLERİ İLE SÖYLEŞİLER Çeviren: Andrew SARRIS İng. Ok. A. Fikret IŞIKYAKAR GEORGE CUKOR George Cukor: Biliyorsunuz, özür dilemekten daha kötü bir şey yok. Örneğin, bir film iyi olmadığı, ya da kötü biçimde eleş­ tirildiğiniz zaman, bunun hatası, şunun hatası yüzünden oldu demek çok kötü bir şey. Benim yaptığım sadece açık konuşmak: şansımız yaver gitmedi, bunu unutalım demek­ tir. Ama, mademki konunun detayına iniyorsunuz, size bu konuda bir şey söyliyelim. Gariptir ki, bir şeyler ortaya koy­ mak istediğim en iyi sahnelerin bazıları başarılı olamamış filmler içinde yer almaktadır. Bu, çok gariptir. Ama, Öykü• nün ana hatları böyle sahneleri içeriyor ise, o zaman, fil­ min sahneleri gerçekten bir şey ifade etmez. Ben, öykünün çok önemli olduğu kanısındayım. Kısaca öykünün anlatımı. Belki de öykü olmaksızın en iyi yapımı gerçekleştirebilir, rolü en güzel biçimde oynayabilirsiniz... ama, hepsi başa­ rısız olur, çünkü, izleyicinin dikkatini çekemezsiniz. 136 Richard Overstreet: Bu açıdan, The Chapman Report'un (Şehvet­ li Kadınlar) başarılı olduğu kanısında mısınız? GC: Onun ile ilgili olarak size bazı şeyler söylemeliyim. O, üç kadın ve bu kadınların sorunları ile ilgili bir öykü idi. Jane Fonda'nın sorunu, soğukluk (frigidity) idi... Temel sorun, kitabın oldukça coşturucu olması idi. Kanımca kitabın ya­ zarı, bir süre sonra, yayın evinin ricası üzerine, kitabın ge­ nel havasını gözden geçirdi. Böylece tüm sonuç, hummalı bir hastalıktan sonra meydana çıkmış gibi oldu. Mamafih, kitap çok hoşuma gitti. RO Bu kitabı, sizden film yapmanız isterimeden önce, okumuş muydunuz? GC Kitabı daha önce okudum... ve bir şeyden etkilendiğimi söy• leyebilirim: Fox şirketi ile sözleşmem vardı. Beni mahke­ meye vermeyi, ya da buna benzer bir iş yapmayı planlıyor­ yorlardı.

  • The Many Faces of Fu Manchu:White Ex- Patriate Community in Taiwanand the Genealogy of a Raciststereotype
    AÜDTCF, Antropoloji Dergisi, Sayı:35 (Haziran 2018), s. 1-22 ARAŞTIRMA / RESEARCH THE MANY FACES OF FU MANCHU:WHITE EX- PATRIATE COMMUNITY IN TAIWANAND THE GENEALOGY OF A RACISTSTEREOTYPE Efe LEVENT* Gönderim/Received: 19 Mayıs/May 2018 Kabul/Accepted: 12 Haziran/June 2018 Abstract This study is the product of a four-year-long fieldwork in Taiwan. During that time, I examined the racist stereotypes of white, western people living in Taiwan on the natives. I compared the data I gathered from the field work with the Chinese stereo- type that is prevalent in the popular culture. The results show the importance of racist generalization in white westerners’ self-perception. The character called Fu Manchu, which emerges in various different media since 1913, appears to be an important means in measuring these changing perceptions. Fu Manchu’s fear factor is formed after the character’s way of expressing its sexu- ality when it was first created. In the western world after the “sexual revolution” in 60s, Fu Manchu is depicted scary because of the repression of its own sexuality. This research associates the philosophical causes of this change with the contradic- tions in Freud’s corpus. It also shows the importance of gender roles in the for- mation of whiteness. The white mob describes their opposite Chinese, and therefore Fu Manchu, deviant when they want to perceive themselves as sexually purified, chaste and virgin. Later on, when they want to create themselves from scratch as individuals who liberated their sexuality, Fu Manchu is once more devised as a symbol of malignancy who represses its sexuality.

Camille, Lady Lydingham, knows precisely what she wants for Christmas--an official engagement to a handsome, dashing prince. Her very proper suitor expects a proper English family and the perfect Dickensian Christmas, which leaves the lovely widow with a slight problem. The last thing Camille wants is for the prince to meet her unconventional relatives. But with the aid of a troupe of actors, Camille intends to pull off a Christmas deception of massive proportions. At least until Grayson Elliott comes back into her live after an absence of twelve years. (Millworth Manor #1) Alexander, Victoria. “The Importance of Being Wicked.” Zebra. For Viscount Stillwell, finding a prospective bride seemed easy, but Win soon found out endless gossip had broken all his engagements. He decided to hire a company to repair his family's fire-damaged country house. Nothing disreputable in that--until the firm's representative turns out to be a very desirable widow. Lady Miranda Garret expected a man of Win's reputation to be flirtatious, even charming. But the awkward truth is that she finds him thoroughly irresistible. For the first time, the wicked Win has fallen in love. And what began as a scandalous proposition may yet become a very different proposal. (Millworth Manor #2) Alexander, Victoria. “The Perfect Mistress.” Zebra. Widowed Julia, Lady Winterset, has inherited a book that every gentleman in London seems to want. Harrison Landingham, Earl of Mountdale, can't let the obstinate Julia release the shameless memoir that could ruin his family's name, but the only way to stop her may be equally sordid, for his rivals are intent on seducing the captivating woman to acquire the book.
