The effects of gender bending on humor : the mutations of Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler
No full textIn 2010, the audience of the prime time hit The Big Bang Theory were introduced to Amy Farrah Fowler, who had the distinct characteristic of being a female version of the show favorite, Sheldon Cooper. Amy's introduction initiated an interesting experiment into the effects of gender on a character type, most specifically the difference in humor. This essay explores the debate surrounding women humor in sitcoms by studying The Big Bang Theory writers ' use of Amy Farrah Folwer, from her conception in season four, into her further interaction and incorporation into the show. In particular, the study will focus on four specific episodes that each represents one aspect of the evolution of her humor: that of mirroring, crassness, self-deprecation, and compromise. Through the study of these particular branches of humor, the essay analyzes the implication of such humor on characterization and representation of women in the media.Thesis (B.?)Honors Colleg
Sparrows can't sing : East End kith and kinship in the 1960s
No full textSparrows Can’t Sing (1963) was the only feature film directed by
the late and much lamented Joan Littlewood. Set and filmed in
the East End, where she worked for many years, the film deserves
more attention than it has hitherto received. Littlewood’s career
spanned documentary (radio recordings made with Ewan MacColl
in the North of England in the 1930s) to directing for the stage
and the running of the Theatre Royal in London’s Stratford East,
often selecting material which aroused memories in local audiences
(Leach 2006: 142). Many of the actors trained in her Theatre
Workshop subsequently became better known for their appearances
on film and television. Littlewood herself directed hardly any material
for the screen: Sparrows Can’t Sing and a 1964 series of television
commercials for the British Egg Marketing Board, starring Theatre
Workshop’s Avis Bunnage, were rare excursions into an area of practice
which she found constraining and unamenable (Gable 1980: 32).
The hybridity and singularity of Littlewood’s feature may answer,
in some degree, for its subsequent neglect. However, Sparrows Can’t
Sing makes a significant contribution to a group of films made in
Britain in the 1960s which comment generally on changes in the
urban and social fabric. It is especially worthy of consideration,
I shall argue, for the use which Littlewood made of a particular
community’s attitudes – sentimental and critical – to such changes and
for its amalgamation of an attachment to documentary techniques
(recording an aural landscape on location) with a preference for nonnaturalistic
delivery in performance
