  • Stephen Colbert and the Evolution of Recursive Parody
    The Dissent of Man: Stephen Colbert and the Evolution of Recursive Parody Jacob Alfredo Hutchison A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Odai Johnson, Chair Christine Harold Stefka Mihaylova Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Drama ©Copyright 2018 Jacob Alfredo Hutchison University of Washington Abstract The Dissent of Man: Stephen Colbert and the Evolution of Recursive Parody Jacob Alfredo Hutchison Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Odai Johnson School of Drama The interactive character-driven television performances of late night political parodist Stephen Colbert, and the similarly interactive, similarly character-based performances of alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos have much in common stylistically, but are worlds apart in their goals and effects. Colbert deployed his parodic character to interrogate and reveal the ways those in power use public performance to distract and deceive the citizenry, while Yiannopoulos and others have adopted and adapted Colbert’s tactics, using them to perpetuate those deceptions and to weaken public trust in any political claims. Through an examination of these two figures, this dissertation tracks the evolution of a discursive tactic it terms “recursive parody”: a satire that results from the sustained interactions between a parodic character and a non-fictional person. As a rhetorical and theatrical tool, recursive parody is simultaneously a response to and an accelerant of a widespread social anxiety over the legibility of political intentions. Twenty-first century American citizens, constantly surrounded by performative speech acts, regularly experience this sociopolitical anxiety, which manifests as a grave uncertainty about the reliability of any claimed or perceived intention from any public figure.

  • Extensive Report
    PPP AT SIX MONTHS: A Flawed Program That Came Up Short Executive Summary The Trump Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) has been rife with problems and confusion since day one. • The program has regularly faced criticism over transparency. Through April and May, the Treasury department released only topline information on distributed loans – and on June 11, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin said the Trump administration would not disclose PPP loan information, describing it as “proprietary” and “confidential.” But following bipartisan pushback, the Trump administration shifted course and agreed to disclose the names of borrowers for PPP loans in the amount of $150,000 or more, which was described as a compromise. (Additional background: The PPP utilized the existing framework of the SBA’s 7(a) loan program. 7(a) loans were subject to disclosure under public records laws: of loan recipients, loan amounts, officer names, loan terms, etc.) A compromise release of the data, providing all loan amounts but only information on borrowers above $150,000, only provided 14- percent of borrower information, and accounted for only 75-percent of funds. The Pandemic Response Accountability Committee has since called for providing company information on PPP loans above $25,000. • The program includes loopholes designed to help the restaurant and hotel industries. The CARES Act included language, described as a “special-interest provision” by the New York Times, to allow chain restaurants and hotels to file for small business grants despite exceeding employment figures. The language was fought for by the National Restaurant Association. Chain restaurants have subsequently taken tens of millions in PPP funds.
