Gay TV and Straight America

Gay TV and Straight America

Ron Becker

Rutgers University Press

After decades of silence on the subject of homosexuality, television in the 1990s saw a striking increase in programming that incorporated and, in many cases, centered on gay material. In shows including Friends, Seinfeld, Party of Five, Homicide, Suddenly Susan, The Commish, Ellen, Will & Grace, and others, gay characters were introduced, references to homosexuality became commonplace, and issues of gay and lesbian relationships were explored, often in explicit detail.In Gay TV and Straight America, Ron Becker draws on a wide range of political and cultural indicators to explain this sudden upsurge of gay material on prime-time network television. Bringing together analysis of relevant Supreme Court rulings, media coverage of gay rights battles, debates about multiculturalism, concerns over political correctness, and much more, Becker's assessment helps us understand how and why televised gayness was constructed by a specific culture of tastemakers during the decade.On one hand the evidence points to network business strategies that embraced gay material as a valuable tool for targeting a quality audience of well-educated, upscale adults looking for something "edgy" to watch. But, Becker also argues that the increase of gay material in the public eye creates growing mainstream anxiety in reaction to the seemingly civil public conversation about equal rights.In today's cultural climate where controversies rage over issues of gay marriage yet millions of viewers tune in weekly to programs like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, this book offers valuable insight to the complex condition of America's sexual politics.

Engage, challenge, and inspire students with work that matters Transformational Literacy, written by a team from EL Education, helps teachers leverage the Common Core instructional shifts—building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction, reading for and writing with evidence, and regular practice with complex text—to engage students in work that matters. Worthy texts and worthy tasks help students see the connection between their hard work as readers and writers and their capacity to contribute to stronger communities and a better world. The stories, examples, and resources that permeate Transformational Literacy come primarily from the more than 150 EL Education schools around the country that support teachers to select, supplement, customize, and create curriculum, and improve instruction. The book also draws on EL Education's open source Common Core English Language Arts curriculum—often cited as one of the finest in the country—and professional development offered to thousands of teachers to implement that curriculum effectively. Transformational Literacy combines the best of what EL Education knows works for kids—purposeful, inquiry-based learning—and the new imperative of the Common Core—higher and deeper expectations for all students. Teach standards through a compelling and purposeful curriculum that prioritizes worthy texts and worthy taskImprove students' evidence-based reading, thinking, talking, and writingSupport students to develop a new mindset toward the challenge of reading complex texts Transformational Literacy introduces an approach to literacy instruction that will engage, challenge, and inspire student with work that matters.

Människan gör samhället – formar, utvecklar, bevarar. Men samhället gör också människan – människan formas och utvecklas i och genom samhället. Detta är den klassiska sociologins stora insikt. Sociologins klassiker presen­terar tjugotvå sociologiska tänkare som med stor spänn­­vidd varierar denna grundläggande sociologiska insikt som i dag äger större giltighet än någonsin.Sociologins klassiker presenterar grundfrågor och centrala begrepp hos klassiker, från Auguste Comte till Alva och Gunnar Myrdal. Unika särdrag behandlas liksom likheter med andra klassiker. Boken betonar den klassiska sociologins aktualitet för analysen av vårt eget samhälle. Ett syfte med antologin är att vidga förståelsen av klassisk sociologi och inkludera dem som tidigt skrev viktiga sociologiska verk men som av olika anledningar inte fått den uppmärksamhet de förtjänar. I många av bokens kapitel presenteras sociologiska tänkare för första gången på svenska.Sociologins klassiker vänder sig till studenter i sociologi och annan samhälls- och beteendevetenskap på grundnivå. Boken kan med fördel utgöra grunden för hur hela kurser organiseras. Den är också lämplig för studenter och forskare som söker introduktioner till enskilda sociologiska tänkare.

Classic Horror Films and the Literature That Inspired Them
Classic horror films such as Dracula, Frankenstein and The Picture of Dorian Gray are based on famous novels. Less well known--even to avid horror fans--are the many other memorable films based on literary works. Beginning in the silent era and continuing to the present, numerous horror films found their inspiration in novels, novellas, short stories and poems, though many of these written works are long forgotten. This book examines 43 works of literature--from the famous to the obscure--that provided the basis for 62 horror films. Both the written works and the films are analyzed critically, with an emphasis on the symbiosis between the two. Background on the authors and their writings is provided.

Die Budgetkompetenzen in Der Europaeischen Union
Die finanzwissenschaftlichen Analyse- und Reformkonzepte fur die Budgetstrukturen der EU basieren hauptsachlich auf der klassischen foederalistischen Finanzausgleichstheorie. Der Autor legt dar, warum die foederalismustheoretischen Ansatze kein geeignetes Referenzkonzept zur Beschreibung oder Gestaltung von Integrationsprozessen sein koennen. Ausgehend von diesem Befund entwickelt er mit dem synoptischen Integrationsmodell die Grundlage einer verfassungsoekonomischen Integrationstheorie. Dieses Modell wird um das finanzmechanistische Fondsmodell erganzt, welches den integrationstheoretischen Ansatz fur die spezifischen Gestaltungsfragen des EU-Finanzausgleichs konkretisiert. Auf dieser Basis ist es dem Autor moeglich, die Entwicklung der EU-Budgetkompetenzen zu erklaren und eine voellig neue Sichtweise auf die bestehenden Budgetstrukturen sowie deren Reformbedarf zu gewinnen.

Relationsroman om svek & mörka familjehemligheterPrästen Anna söker sig efter ett kraschat förhållande tillbaka till sin barndoms Småland för att börja om. Hon påbörjar flytten till en gammal prästgård utanför Askeryd, men innan flyttlasset ens hunnit fram skakas det lilla samhället av en tragedi: en liten flicka, Emmy-Lo, har försvunnit spårlöst i de mörka skogarna. Sökandet efter flickan förenar Missing People, jaktlag och hela bygden, men för varje dag som går ökar människors känsla av förtvivlan och misstänksamhet. Anna kastas rakt in i dramat. Hon blir en oumbärlig stödperson för de drabbade, varav en är Emmy-Los mamma, Rebecka, som håller ihop av ren vilja. Det finns också en man som söker stöd i förtroende. Anna misstänker att han bär på en mörk hemlighet - kanske rentav nyckeln till Emmy-Los försvinnande. Men i sitt yrke är Anna bunden av absolut tystnadsplikt, och snart dras hon in i en moralisk mardröm som hotar att förgöra allt hon tror på. SARA RÖRBECKER är en svensk författare, bosatt i Stockholm men uppvuxen i närheten av Askeryd i norra Småland.
