Viewers may base their opinions concerning men's and women's roles on these stereotypes. Those who study television rhetorically also argue that viewers learn attitudes from the medium. Theories concerning women's traditional roles in society, women's financial statuses, and the changing roles of men and women have rarely been addressed on television. Six episodes of the situational comedy Grace Under Fire were dialogically examined, and these research questions were explored: How does Grace's role as a single mother compare with traditional roles? How does the program portray Grace's financial status as a single mother with three children? Does Grace encounter difficulties at work? The author concluded that characters on Grace Under Fire sent mixed messages to viewers. While issues such as single parenthood, women's financial struggles, and sexual harassment were addressed, characters often joked about these very serious issues. However, it is important to understand that viewers glean their own meanings from television programs, depending on their societal positions. Therefore, not all viewers will be negatively affected by Grace Under Fire. iii Acknowledgements This thesis is dedicated to my husband, Micah Digman, and to my parents, Tony and Joyce Vogel. I deeply appreciate their support, encouragements, and threats. Thanks also to Bill Deering, who guided me with patience and understanding as we explored this topic together.

There's never been a good time to be that." Grace Kelly, the title character on the ABC situation comedy, Grace Under Fire, voiced many American women's concern when she made this statement on the September 26, 1994 episode. Like Grace, women have long strived for equal rights, and while they have made gains, the struggle continues. As women secure more footholds up the mountain of equality, examining how, and if, television reflects these gains is important for a number of reasons. This issue has been investigated primarily through content analyses of the roles of men and women in television. More recently, rhetorical analyses have been used to explore these roles in more detail, with emphasis on interactions and the dynamics of character development. After addressing the importance of studying television, this dialogic analysis offers an explanation for studying television from a feminist perspective. This study then examines content analyses of women's roles in television and rhetorical analyses. Research questions are employed for studying current women's roles in prime-time, specifically examining the ABC situation comedy Grace Under Grace 2 Fire. After applying the method of dialogic analysis to the specified texts, conclusions are drawn, and suggestions for future research are addressed. The Importance of Studying Television Examining the roles of women in television is important, due to the peivasiveness of the medium. Allen ( 1 992) states that 92 million homes in the United States have at least one television set, suggesting that 98% of the total population watches television. The A.C. Nielsen Company (1990) indicates that in the United States, people view about four hours of television a day. Kubey and Csikszentmihalyi ( I 990) argue that this figure may be exaggerated and suggest people watch television about two and a half hours a day. Based on this more conseivative estimate, the average American spends more than seven years of the average 70 year life span in front of the television. This is astounding when considering that Kubey and Csikszentmihalyi (1990) have found that people only have 16 years to spend at leisure activities in an average 70 year life-span. Further, television reaches more people than any other medium, with 89% of 18 to 54 year olds and 94% of people over 55 years old watching it any given day (Television Bureau of Advertising, 1990). Also, two-thirds of households own more than one television set, and 60% of households have Grace 3 cable (Television Bureau of Advertising, 1991 ). The average home receives more than 28 stations, and at least one set is on more than seven hours a day (American Demographics, February, 1990, p.4). Stewart, Stewart, Friedley and Cooper (1990) concur that Americans spend many hours a day watching television, also noting that viewers are exposed to the same programs over and over. Thus, viewers repeatedly receive the same messages, whether the messages are that men should be the primary wage earners in families, or that women should not work outside of the home. Additionally, the researchers state that viewers have a casual reaction to television because the medium is in their homes and they are so accustomed to watching it. Because of this familiarity, viewers are not as likely to think critically of the messages they receive from television programs, and viewers' perceptions of various issues are unwittingly shaped. Parenti ( 1992, p.197) writes that television is a cultural industry in that it illustrates cultural ideals. Thus, television "exercises an influence upon public consciousness." Meehan ( 1983, p.114) expands on the idea of television influencing public consciousness, stating, ''The significance of television .. .is that it impacts on the real world, establishing expectations, validating preconceived notions, and providing viewers with models of behavior for their own lives." Parenti and Meehan argue that television Grace 4 conveys images of how people should act, and viewers often absorb these images without thinking critically. Because approximately 92%

  • Getting Grace Sometimes When Death Calls, S Lifehappen
    JUNE 2017 WWW.NFDA.ORG The Funeral Director in Popular Culture Getting Grace Sometimes When Death Calls, s LifeHappen 34 June 2017 THE DIRECTOR By Edward J. Defort The portrayal of funeral directors in the ma- jority of movies and television shows sel- dom strays far from the clichés of yesteryear. Few productions focus on the human side of the funeral director, who is usually a minor character, sometimes sinister and often ec- centric. The forthcoming independent feature film, Getting Grace, is an exception. Actor Daniel Roebuck, who also co-wrote and di- rected the film, portrays Bill Jankowski, a funeral director who has seemingly with- drawn from life and whose life is turned up- side down by a 16-year-old girl dying of can- cer. “The dying girl is more alive than he is,” Roebuck says of his character. Best known for his roles in feature films such as The Fugitive and U.S. Marshals, as well as TV series including Matlock and Lost, Roebuck can currently be seen in the critically acclaimed Amazon Prime series Man in the High Castle. Glancing at his list of credits, it would probably be easier to list the programs in which the veteran character actor has not appeared rather than the ones in which he has. But despite having such an extensive film résumé, Roebuck calls himself a frustrat- ed funeral director, and it was a label that s seemed to follow him throughout his life. s Born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Roe- buck worked in a food store while attending Bethlehem Catholic High School, known as Behind the Becahi.

OurTable is a project of enfleshed where we create spiritual nourishment for collective liberation. You can learn more about our work at enfleshed.com. As the trans faith intern at enfleshed. I'm excited to be the host of OurTable, an audio project that brings trans people together to have the spiritual and religious conversations we want to have on our own terms. Our Table will be made up of four conversations each with a different theme and different guests. Today, we're talking about divinity and sex with our phenomenal guests here Reverend KC and J Mase the Third. There will be discussions of sexual violence and other sensitive body and sexuality conversations. So please pay attention to your own needs and listen in at your own pace. For everyone, for perhaps, especially for trans people, sex is complicated. We can feel awkward and confused and have really complex feelings in and around and about our bodies. Sometimes our sex partners don't know how to be supportive. We're fetishized, we face incredibly high rates of sexual, physical, and emotional assault. Transphobia and other prejudices are there own barrier with the added bonus that some of us have religious trauma around sex, born from purity culture. On the other hand, good sex can be healing, a source of regular pleasure and joy. It can help us connect with our bodies. And also, we know trans people are hot, a divine glimpse, for sure.

    DECONSTRUCTING THE STATUTORY LANDSCAPE OF ªREVENGE PORNº: AN EVALUATION OF THE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE AN EFFECTIVE NONCONSENSUAL PORNOGRAPHY STATUTE Jonathan S. Sales and Jessica A. Magaldi* INTRODUCTION Changes in social mores and technology have yielded the phenomenon of sext- ing, which includes the capturing and forwarding of intimate images through the Internet.1 Research reveals that nearly ®fty percent of adults in the United States have sent or received intimate digital content. 2 At the same time, the con¯uence of these changes has spawned new violations of privacy and predatory actions when these images are made available on the Internet without the subject's consent.3 The re-distribution or dissemination of these intimate images without the consent of the subject and without a legitimate purpose (such as a law enforcement investigation) is referred to as nonconsensual pornography (ªNCPº). 4 NCP has caused victims to suffer substantial harm.5 In some cases, NCP inci- dents have precipitated a victim's suicide.6 Prior generations might have concluded that a person who allowed such images to be captured and placed in the possession of another person assumed the risk of re-distribution; in essence, a negligence, recklessness, or constructive consent argument. In contrast, in the twenty-®rst cen- tury, capturing or sharing of intimate images is often regarded as an acceptable * Jonathan S.
