  • Asian American Romantic Comedies and Sociopolitical Influences
    FROM PRINT TO SCREEN: ASIAN AMERICAN ROMANTIC COMEDIES AND SOCIOPOLITICAL INFLUENCES Karena S. Yu TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 2019 ______________________________ Madhavi Mallapragada, Ph.D. Department of Radio-Television-Film Supervising Professor ______________________________ Chiu-Mi Lai, Ph.D. Department of Asian Studies Second Reader Abstract Author: Karena S. Yu Title: From Print to Screen: Asian American Romantic Comedies and Sociopolitical Influences Supervisor: Madhavi Mallapragada, Ph.D. In this thesis, I examine how sociopolitical contexts and production cultures have affected how original Asian American narrative texts have been adapted into mainstream romantic comedies. I begin by defining several terms used throughout my thesis: race, ethnicity, Asian American, and humor/comedy. Then, I give a history of Asian American media portrayals, as these earlier images have profoundly affected the ways in which Asian Americans are seen in media today. Finally, I compare the adaptation of humor in two case studies, Flower Drum Song (1961) which was created by Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Crazy Rich Asians (2018) which was directed by Jon M. Chu. From this analysis, I argue that both seek to undercut the perpetual foreigner myth, but the difference in sociocultural incentives and control of production have resulted in more nuanced portrayals of some Asian Americans in the latter case. However, its tendency to push towards the mainstream has limited its ability to challenge stereotyped representations, and it continues to privilege an Americentric perspective. 2 Acknowledgements I owe this thesis to the support and love of many people. To Dr. Mallapragada, thank you for helping me shape my topic through both your class and our meetings.

    A THOUSAND TV SHOWS: APPLYING A RHIZOMATIC LENS TO TELEVISION GENRES _______________________________________ A Dissertation presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________________________________ by NETTIE BROCK Dr. Ben Warner, Dissertation Supervisor May 2018 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the Dissertation entitled A Thousand TV Shows: Applying A Rhizomatic Lens To Television Genres presented by Nettie Brock A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. ________________________________________________________ Ben Warner ________________________________________________________ Elizabeth Behm-Morawitz ________________________________________________________ Stephen Klien ________________________________________________________ Cristina Mislan ________________________________________________________ Julie Elman ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Someone recently asked me what High School Nettie would think about having written a 300+ page document about television shows. I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

  • MARCH 2010 Belief Whatsoever
    ello and welcome to the month of RB'S CORNER March…. Two weeks ago on Valentine’s REV. BOB OSHITA HDay, we also celebrated the beginning of the lunar New Year, the Year of the Tiger. I’ve always found it interesting that virtually all of us know the Asian New Year sign of our birth and also the Western Zodiac sign for the month of our birth. It is certainly interesting to read our horoscopes (both east and west) describing our characteristics. But when we begin to believe that these signs can predict our destinies or divine what sign will match up best with what other signs, then we begin to allow superstitious beliefs to influence our lives and how we respond to others. Astrology, both east and west, has had centuries to develop intricate and interesting stories to explain the mysterious workings of the universe. And these beliefs have impacted greatly on the cultures of humanity. For instance, in the Japanese culture, we often celebrate an event called “Kanreki” when someone turns 60 (although it should actually be SACRAMENTO 61). BETSUIN 2401 Riverside Blvd. This tradition comes from the 12 lunar signs from Sacramento, CA 95818 Rat to Rooster. But it is more intricate than this. Each 12-year cycle is under one of five different (916) 446-0121 “elemental” signs: Tree, Fire, Earth, Metal and (916) 446-1866 FAX Water. For instance, according to the lunar [email protected] calendar, I was born in the Year of the Rat, under the “element” of Earth. This year, we are INSIDE celebrating the Year of the Tiger, the third year in Calendar 2 the “element” cycle of Metal.

Thesis Examination Committee: Advisor - Chairperson HyyMurphree, Ph.D. Vice President for Research and Dean of Graduate Studies Date: March 25,2008 Abstract Films are a reflection of their time, and portrayals of the Vietnamese in film are reflective of the attitudes of American culture and society toward Vietnamese people. Films are particularly important because for many viewers, all they know about Vietnam and the Vietnamese is what they have seen on screen. This is why it is so important to examine the racist portrayals of the Vietnamese that have been presented, where they come from, and how and why they have changed.
