  • 'Like an American, but Without a Gun'?: Canadian National Identity
    . Volume 17, Issue 2 November 2020 ‘Like an American, but without a gun’?: Canadian national identity and the Kids in the Hall Melissa Beattie, Independent Scholar, USA Abstract: Media representation of national identity can be complex and utilise many potential mechanisms for conveying said identity onto both diegeses and series. This paper analyses the mechanisms by which the corpus of texts produced by comedy troupe the Kids in the Hall (KITH) represents and constructs a Canadian national identity for domestic and foreign audiences. Utilising both textual analysis and audience research, this paper examines the banal diegetic nationalism (Beattie 2017a, b) of the corpus as well as how the Canadianness of the series is perceived. Keywords: Canadian national identity and media, Discursive national identity, Fan studies, Representation, Audiences Introduction and literature review Media representation of national identity can be complex and utilise many potential mechanisms for conveying said identity onto both diegeses and series. This paper analyses the mechanisms by which the corpus of texts produced by comedy troupe the Kids in the Hall (KITH) represents and constructs a Canadian national identity for domestic and foreign audiences. Utilising both textual analysis and audience research, this paper examines the banal diegetic nationalism (Beattie 2017a, b) of the corpus as well as how the Canadianness of the corpus is perceived. This is relevant when viewed in context of Edwardson’s (2008) work on the development of Canadian national identity through its cultural industries. Though his book looks at all of the cultural industries, Edwardson’s negative view of globalisation with regard Page 3 Volume 17, Issue 2 November 2020 to television in particular views the push for transnational television success as leading to the diminishing of Canadian-focused content in favour of what would appeal to a predominantly-American audience.

  • Running Head: POPULAR PEDAGOGY in CANADIAN TELEVISION
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Brock University Digital Repository Running head: POPULAR PEDAGOGY IN CANADIAN TELEVISION Popular Pedagogy in Canadian Television: A Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis of Trailer Park Boys Andrew Haddow, B.A. (Hons.) Department of Graduate Studies in Education Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education Faculty of Education, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © Andrew Haddow, 2017 POPULAR PEDAGOGY IN CANADIAN TELEVISION Abstract This major research paper studied the representations of masculinity in the Canadian television program Trailer Park Boys from the perspective of public pedagogy and education. Motivated by a desire to expose how patriarchal discourses are learned through everyday practices and texts, a methodology of feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was formulated. Trailer Park Boys is a long-running mockumentary series set in a fictional trailer park near Halifax, Nova Scotia. It focuses on a cast of male characters with exaggerated personalities, and is satirical in tone. Prior to the main analysis of this paper, a collection of relevant literature was conducted and an opportunity to address a lack of gender-focused studies of Canadian television, including Trailer Park Boys, was noted. This study used the feminist CDA method to analyze what masculinities were reinforced as normal or abnormal in Seasons 3 and 9 of the program, based on the understanding that popular culture is a site of everyday learning. After the data was collected episode-by-episode, it became apparent that the themes of family, authority, and sexuality were helpful in understanding what relationship Trailer Park Boys had with traditional representations of heteronormative masculinity.

  • Canadian Television by Jennifer Burwell
    Canadian Television by Jennifer Burwell Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The portrayal of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and queer people in English Canadian television programming has been sporadic. There have been several significant appearances of glbtq characters on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Canada's national public broadcasting system. The recent advent of PrideVision, a digital cable television network with a mandate to air glbtq Canadian content, will certainly lead to an increase not only in the presence of gays and lesbians on television, but also in the number of shows developed for a glbtq audience. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Perhaps because it is a public broadcaster with a mandate to inform and enlighten as well as entertain, CBC has aired more television programs with glbtq content than Canada's other national network, CTV. CBC's Degrassi Jr. High (1987-1989), part of the youth-centered Degrassi series, dealt with abortion, single parenthood, sex, death, racism, AIDS, feminism, and gay issues as situations that the characters had to work through within the serialized narrative structures, while avoiding the "topic of the week" feel that is endemic to the genre. One episode, for example, featured the pre-adolescent character Caitlin discussing lesbianism with her English teacher, Miss Avery. A spin-off of the Degrassi series, Liberty Street (CBC, 1995-1996), featured Billy Merasty as Nathan Jones, a gay native ex-bicycle courier. The producers of Liberty Street went on to create Riverdale (CBC, 1997-2000), with gay character George Patillo. In early 2003, CBC announced that gay playwright Michel Tremblay will write Quebec's first television show to feature an on-going gay relationship, Le Coeur Découvert.

Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You” (on the album Blue, 1971) and Wilco’s “Sunken Treasure” (on the album Being There, 1996) delve into the queer quality of the medium I think about most: television. In these songs, the iconic blue light of television emission Trepresents everyday antinormativity, the basis of queer difference. In the Jeff Tweedy–penned “Sunken Treasure,” the blue glow from the set “run[s] parallel” to the inner wavelength of a protagonist named and “tamed” by culture, in this case by rock and roll, perhaps instead of by parents or a spouse. In Mitchell’s piece, also, television’s blue light, an immersive and melancholy referent of televisual simultaneity, transmits the artist’s empowered detachment from traditional family norms. Like Tweedy’s refrain of being “so out of tune,” Mitchell’s contemplation of identity over a “cartoon coaster” in the semipub- lic, semiprivate space of a bar figures “blue TV screen light” as the quintessential backdrop for queer experiments with perception, and for movement—evident throughout Blue and Being There—from deco- rum to the counterpublic.1 In the context of my research, the “blue” character of television expresses the haze of institutionalized gender and sexual normativ- ity.
