IRONIC FEMINISM: RHETORICAL CRITIQUE IN SATIRICAL NEWS A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Kathy Elrick December 2016 Accepted by Dr. David Blakesley, Committee Chair Dr. Jeff Love Dr. Brandon Turner Dr. Victor J. Vitanza ABSTRACT Ironic Feminism: Rhetorical Critique in Satirical News aims to offer another perspective and style toward feminist theories of public discourse through satire. This study develops a model of ironist feminism to approach limitations of hegemonic language for women and minorities in U.S. public discourse. The model is built upon irony as a mode of perspective, and as a function in language, to ferret out and address political norms in dominant language. In comedy and satire, irony subverts dominant language for a laugh; concepts of irony and its relation to comedy situate the study’s focus on rhetorical contributions in joke telling. How are jokes crafted? Who crafts them? What is the motivation behind crafting them? To expand upon these questions, the study analyzes examples of a select group of popular U.S.

  • On the Right Track How Safety Innovation Saved the Sport of NASCAR
    On the Right Track How Safety Innovation Saved the Sport of NASCAR A research paper by Doug Robbins 1 Doug Robbins English Composition II 23 February 2017 Robbins – Lumerit College Composition II – Assignment 2 Since NASCAR was officially incorporated on February 21, 1948, (History.com) drivers have competed on sand, dirt and eventually, asphalt and concrete. The motivation for them was to either win the race or finish as high as you can in the running order. The prize money was the “driving” factor that kept these racers coming to the track. The ability to make enough money, in order to provide food and pay bills, outweighed the driver’s concern for their own safety. Cars crashed and drivers were severely injured or died. That was the chance they were willing to accept every time they climbed into a race car. Still the racing continued to grow and more tracks were built. While technology improved as the years went by, drivers were still getting hurt or killed as a result of on track accidents. The sport experienced multiple tragedies during the first 14 months of the 21st Century. NASCAR went through a period of reflection and reacted. The actions they took, resulted in making racing more safer for the drivers of today, than at any time in its 70 year history. On May 12th, 2000, at the New Hampshire Speedway, a 19 year old budding NASCAR star would lose his life during an (Xfinity) race practice. Adam Petty, the grandson of NASCAR racing legend Richard Petty, crashed his race car into a concrete wall, reportedly at over 130mph, while entering turn three at the speedway.

RACIAL SATIRE AND CHAPPELLE’S SHOW by KATHARINE P. ZAKOS Under the Direction of Mary Stuckey ABSTRACT This thesis examines Chappelle's Show’s use of racial satire to challenge dominant stereotypes and the effectiveness of that satire as a tool to achieve perspective by incongruity. I use a variation of D’Acci’s circuit of media study model to examine the institutional challenges and limitations on the show due to the context in which it was created, produced, and distributed; to interrogate the strategies employed by the show’s writers/creators to overcome these challenges through the performance of race; and to analyze the audience’s understanding of the use of racial satire through a reception study of the show’s audience. I argue that using satire often has the unintended consequence of crossing the line between “sending up” a behavior and supporting it, essentially becoming that which it is trying to discount, though this is not to say that its intrinsic value is therefore completely negated.

INTRODUCTION The National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) has become the largest and most influential motor sports league in the world. Multi-million-dollar contracts for drivers, sponsors, and equipment make an investment into a team a huge financial risk. As a result, many teams are not created or created fairly. Most recently, Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR), which had committed sponsors and employees, was forced to shut down due to the economic costs of running a team.1 In response to this, teams formed the Race Team Alliance (RTA), a non-union association of team owners with a goal of getting more equity in individual teams.2 The RTA, in conjunction with NASCAR, formed a chartering system.

  • A Revolution in Preventing Fatal Craniovertebral Junction Injuries: Lessons Learned from the Head and Neck Support Device in Professional Auto Racing
    HISTORICAL VIGNETTE J Neurosurg Spine 25:756–761, 2016 A revolution in preventing fatal craniovertebral junction injuries: lessons learned from the Head and Neck Support device in professional auto racing Anand Kaul, BS,1 Ahmed Abbas, BS,1 Gabriel Smith, MD,1 Sunil Manjila, MD,1 Jonathan Pace, MD,1 and Michael Steinmetz, MD2,3 1Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospitals, Case Medical Center; 2Department of Neurosurgery, Case Western Reserve University, MetroHealth Medical Center; and 3Center for Spine Health, Neurologic Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio Fatal craniovertebral junction (CVJ) injuries were the most common cause of death in high-speed motor sports prior to 2001. Following the death of a mutual friend and race car driver, Patrick Jacquemart (1946–1981), biomechanical engineer Dr. Robert Hubbard, along with race car driver and brother-in-law Jim Downing, developed the concept for the Head and Neck Support (HANS) device to prevent flexion-distraction injuries during high-velocity impact. Biomechanical testing showed that neck shear and loading forces experienced during collisions were 3 times the required amount for a catastrophic injury. Crash sled testing with and without the HANS device elucidated reductions in neck tension, neck compression, head acceleration, and chest acceleration experienced by dummies during high-energy crashes. Simul- taneously, motor sports accidents such as Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s fatal crash in 2001 galvanized public opinion in favor of serious safety reform. Analysis of Earnhardt’s accident demonstrated that his car’s velocity parallel to the barrier was more than 150 miles per hour (mph), with deceleration upon impact of roughly 43 mph in a total of 0.08 seconds.

  • House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform No Safe Spaces Congressional Testimony Regarding Free Speech on College Campuses July 27, 2017
    House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform No Safe Spaces Congressional Testimony Regarding Free Speech on College Campuses July 27, 2017 Chairman Jordan and members of the subcommittee; The stars of our film, comedian Adam Carolla and nationally syndicated talk-show host Dennis Prager, both make their living by sharing ideas. Our filmmaking team is comprised of Hollywood veterans that would not have a career telling stories and making movies if it weren’t for the rights granted to us by the 1st Amendment. The issue of free speech is dear to all of us, which is why Adam Carolla is representing our film in Congress to testify on this issue. We thank you for the opportunity, and acknowledge your intrepidness for inviting a well-known comedian to speak his mind. Paraphrasing our 40th President, Ronald Reagan, the eight most terrifying words in the English language are, “I’m from Hollywood and I’m here to help.” Adam Carolla and Dennis Prager share no similarities as it pertains to their academic careers. Carolla had an undistinguished and short lived effort (if you can call it that) at a community college, while Prager is Ivy League educated. But despite academic pedigree, the chilling of free speech concerns all of us, especially when it’s at the epicenter of what should be the place where ideas are shared and challenged the most— college. This concern over free speech on college campuses operates on several levels. First, Carolla and Prager are two men that make their living by challenging ideas through humor, debate, social commentary, and if warranted, ridicule.
