Seinfeld Om Seg Selv – Forstått Av Andre – En Studie Av Refleksivitet I Møtet Med Datidas Publikum Seinfeld om seg selv – forstått av andre – En studie av refleksivitet i møtet med datidas publikum Masteroppgave i medievitenskap Institutt for medier og kommunikasjon Universitetet i Oslo November 2013 Jørgen Svennevig Sammendrag Denne oppgaven handler om begrepet refleksivitet, og hvordan sesong fire av TV-serien Seinfeld kan forstås som en refleksiv tekst. Oppgaven drøfter begrepet refleksivitet i lys av hvordan en diskusjonsgruppe på internett diskuterte sesongen da den ble sendt på TV i 1992- 93. Tekstanalyse og resepsjonsanalyse er studiens to hovedtilnærminger, hvorpå sistnevnte utgjør oppgavens tyngdepunkt. Oppgaven argumenterer for at TV-seriens ulike former for refleksivitet blir viet ulik mengde oppmerksomhet hos diskusjonsgruppen. Hovedfunnet i resepsjonsanalysen er at seriens subtile referanser til konkrete øyeblikk i tidligere episoder er diskusjonsgruppens foretrukne refleksive uttrykksform. Dette funnet blir forstått som del av en større kulturell og teknologisk sammenheng. Ved å betrakte andre forskningsprosjekter om fankultur, identifiseres det et mønster som kjennetegnes av at diskusjonsgruppene har som sin hovedaktivitet å oppnå så stor klarhet i fiksjonsuniverset de diskuterer som mulig. I lys av begrepet affordances argumenter oppgaven for at diskusjonsplattformen Usenet og seriens lineære utspilling på TV, bidrar til en diskusjonskultur hvor den sist sendte episoden i serien alltid er viktigst. Disse funnene blir brukt til å forklare hvordan seriens ulike former for refleksivitet forstås ulikt hos en diskusjonsgruppe. Abstract This thesis is about the concept of reflexivity, and how season four of the television series Seinfeld can be understood as a reflexive text. The thesis discusses the concept of reflexivity in relation to an Internet discussion group during the time period the season aired on TV in 1992-93. Text analysis and reception analysis are the two approaches of this study, in which the latter constitutes the main approach of the thesis. The thesis argues that the TV show’s various forms of reflexivity are devoted different amounts of attention. The main finding in the reception analysis is that the show's subtle references to specific moments in previous episodes, are the discussion group’s preferred form of reflexivity. The thesis argues that this focus is part of a larger cultural and technological context. By looking into previous research on fan culture, the thesis identifies a pattern that is characterized by the discussion groups seeking as much clarity in a fiction universe as possible. In light of the concept of affordances, the thesis argues that the discussion platform Usenet and the series linear scheduling on television, contributes to a discussion culture where the last sent episode of the series is always the most important to discuss. These findings are used to explain how the show's various forms of reflexivity are understood differently within a discussion group. I Forord Da jeg for mange år siden befant meg på Blindern for første gang, var det Seinfeld jeg brukte for å få alle de fremmede begrepene til å henge på greip. Takk til deg, Arnt Maasø, for å ha veiledet meg igjennom prosessen med å nå gjøre noe tilnærmet motsatt. Dine synspunkter har vært helt avgjørende. Videre vil jeg takke Christoffer for kvalifiserte uttalelser om det å være fan. Muttern, for din strikketøysfilosofi. Åshild, for korrektur og gode innspill. Claire og Cathrine, for rundbøyelig holdning til fridager på kort varsel. Og ikke minst Silje, for det aller meste som virkelig betyr noe, og fordi det bor en liten Larry David i deg.

But in order that individual action should be free and useful at the same time it must be restricted with certain limits and rules that give the necessary guidance.” Mission Statement The Montessori School of the Mahoning Valley, a child- centered community of families and educators, provides a quality educational environment that develops independent, life-long learning while instilling respect, responsibility, and resourcefulness. School History The Montessori School of the Mahoning Valley, Inc. was founded in 1976 by Suzanne Stettler. The school began in the educational wing of the First Unitarian Church located at 1105 Elm Street in Youngstown, where 2 Primary (pre-school) classes and 1 All Day Primary (kindergarten) class were offered. In 1983, an Elementary program was added under the direction of Steve Gyomber. By the mid-1980s, the school had outgrown the facilities at the First Unitarian Church. In 1985, the school was relocated to 2008 Lynn Avenue in Youngstown where the school remains today. Due to the explosive growth of the school, a new building was constructed in 1997. In memory of the school’s founder, the building was named Stettler House. In 1998, Darlene Wolf headed the Adolescent program, added to serve students in grades 7 – 8th.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled The Days Are Gods: A Life in Place by LIZ STEPHENS has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Dinty W. Moore Professor of English Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT STEPHENS, LIZ, Ph.D., December 2012, English The Days Are Gods: A Life in Place Director of Dissertation: Dinty W. Moore “Theorizing voice as a construct in life writing,” Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson write, “has not yet been the focus of sustained critical attention.” They whittle the myriad ways this idea might be approached down to two elemental questions: “How might we understand our attribution of a particular ‘voice’ to life writing?” and “And how do we theorize the relationship of voice to autobiographical acts?” In plainer language, what factors influence an author’s construction of a voice in tone and syntax for a particular piece or ouvre; and how might we as theorists and readers examine the author’s choices across any given work, from whole book to specific event? In this work, Stephens includes her dissertation memoir, as well as a critical examination of her use of first-person narration in that body of work. 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Portions of this work have appeared, in different form, in Fourth Genre and South Dakota Review.

Gene Marie held her robe tight about her throat as she cautiously opened the front door. She knew she heard someone, or something, knocking loud and distinct; three solid taps, evenly spaced at exactly 9:11 AM. It had become kind of like a routine - almost every morning the same routine, three taps at exactly 9:11. The first time it happened she thought it was part of a dream. She had been laying in bed half awake, half asleep, waiting for her cramps to subside. The sound had startled her and she had sat up too quickly. Her uterus expelled a hot fast stream of menstrual fluid and she had gotten nauseated. As she changed the sheets she made a note to get a rubber or plastic backed liner for the mattress. Forty was not shaping up to be what her ex-sister in law had gushed about twelve years earlier at her birthday celebration. Tipsy and rosy cheeked, Melanie blew out her candles and then went on and on about how turning forty was so liberating, finally respected in her career and on her way to great things, “glass ceilings be damned” she had said as she raised her glass in a toast.
