(Re)Presentations of Homosexuality: the Frame and Knowledge in the Making
(RE)PRESENTATIONS OF HOMOSEXUALITY: THE FRAME AND KNOWLEDGE IN THE MAKING by Matthew Isherwood THIS THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIERMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Curriculum Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) February 2015 © Matthew Isherwood, 2015 Abstract This thesis is an inquiry into how one understands sexual difference. It will consider how queer lives are presented to us in the media, and it attends to ways in which these presentations might influence and shape our knowledge of queer subjects. The primary research questions addressed in this thesis include: Do sites of everyday influence continue to promote stereotypes? What does this mean for homosexual individual? And if such sites do promote such stereotypes, can sex education curriculum attempt to undo media bias? To address these questions, the thesis considers popular representations circulating in the media. It considers these representations in light of the author’s own experiences as a gay man. The critical thinking that emerges from this act is made possible by engaging with multiple pieces of content, as well as the work of queer theorists such as Sedgwick and Butler and Halperin. In this sense, a new question emerges: How can one keep knowledge in the making alive and ongoing? ii Preface This dissertation is original, unpublished, independent work by the author, M. Isherwood. iii Table of Contents Abstract ....................................................................................................................................................... -
Resistance to Hegemonic Masculinity in Modern Family
Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric, Vol. 11, No.1/2, 2021, pp. 36-56. Modern Masculinities: Resistance to Hegemonic Masculinity in Modern Family Jennifer Y. Abbott∗ Cory Geraths+ Since its debut in 2009, the ABC television show Modern Family has captivated audiences and academics alike. The show professes a modern perspective on families, but many scholars have concluded that its male characters uphold problematic, normative expressions of gender. In contrast, we use the concept of hegemonic masculinity to argue that Modern Family resists normative expressions of masculinity by attuning viewers to the socially constructed nature of hegemonic masculinity and by authorizing feminine and flamboyant behaviors as appropriately manly. These coun- terhegemonic strategies work in tandem to scrutinize confining expectations for men and to offer viable alternatives. Taken together, their coexistence mitigates against an oppressive hybrid version of hegemonic masculinity. Conse- quently, our analysis introduces readers to the rhetorical power of hegemonic masculinity and strategies to resist it; considers the efficacy of these strategies while drawing a wide audience; and stresses the importance of diverse gender representation in popular media. Keywords: Modern Family, hegemonic masculinity, resistance, comedy, television, sitcom The ABC television show Modern Family concluded on April 8, 2020, securing its place in history as among the longest running and most successful domestic situation comedies. Beginning with its first season in 2009, and ending with its eleventh and final season in 2020, the series currently stands as the “third longest-running network sitcom in television history.”1 While ratings dipped ∗ Jennifer Y.

An Analysis of Puns Translated for the Polish Voiced-Over Version of the American TV Series Modern Family
University of Amsterdam Graduate School of Humanities MA program in Linguistic: Translation An analysis of puns translated for the Polish voiced-over version of the American TV series Modern Family. Aleksandra Slawuta Student number: 11107448 Supervisor: dhr. dr. Eric Metz Amsterdam 2017 1 Abstract This paper covers the subject of translatability of humor in audiovisual translation. Humor is always difficult to translate not only because of the possible cultural differences between the speakers of a source and target languages but also because everyone has different taste and is laughing at different jokes. This corpus-based thesis is analyzing the specific kind of jokes: puns. They are very language-specific, therefore difficult to translate. Nonetheless, there are certain strategies used to convey the humorous effect to other language. In this paper I am analyzing 80 puns found in the first and second season of the American TV series Modern Family and their Polish equivalents from the voiced-over translation. Basing on the theories coined by Hausmann, Delabastita, Newmark and Nash I am aiming to determine whether translation strategies used to translate puns manage to deliver funny rendering in the target language (Polish). Moreover, I am investing the possible reasons why, in many cases, the translation did not deliver a funny rendering. 2 Table of contents List of figures ................................................................................................................................ 5 1.

The Translation of Humour Based on Culture-Bound Terms in Modern Family
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositori Institucional de la Universitat Jaume I THE TRANSLATION OF HUMOUR BASED ON CULTURE-BOUND TERMS IN MODERN FAMILY. A COGNITIVE-PRAGMATIC APPROACH* Francisco Javier Díaz Pérez [email protected] Universidad de Jaén Abstract If the translation of humour may become problematic for a translator, this is particu- larly so in those cases in which humour is based on culture-bound terms which are not shared by the target culture. The main aim of this paper is to analyse the solu- tions adopted by the translators into Spanish to deal with culture-specific jokes in the first two seasons of the American TV series Modern Family. Both the DVD dubbed and subtitled versions have been focused on. The approach adopted in this paper is Relevance Theory. From the perspective of this theoretical framework, the translator will resort to different solution-types to try to recreate the cognitive effects intended by the source communicator with the lowest possible processing effort on the part of the target addressee. Different aspects related to the translator’s metarepresentation of the target audience’s cognitive environment, among other factors, will determine his/ her choice of solution-type. Resumen Si la traducción del humor puede resultar problemática para un traductor, en aque- llos casos en los que el humor se basa en elementos culturales no compartidos por la cultura meta, la dificultad se incrementa. El principal objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar las soluciones adoptadas por los traductores al castellano para abordar primera * I would like to thank two anonymous reviewers and the editors of this volume for their very valuable comments on an earlier draft of this paper.
