2015 Research Symposium - Race and Gender in Electronic Media: Challenges and Opportunities -- Session 2: Sex and Race in Prime Time: Five Decades of Research -- Featured Speaker: Nancy Signorielli, University of Delaware

Session 2: Sex and Race in Prime Time: Five Decades of Research -- Featured Speaker: Nancy Signorielli, University of Delaware

Dr. Signorielli will discuss the trajectory of her career, with an emphasis on examining images relating to sex and race in prime time dramatic programs broadcast from the 1970s to 2013. Using data collected as part of the Cultural Indicators project as well as data she collected between the mid-1990s and 2013, she will examine trends in portrayals looking particularly at patterns of under- and/or over-representation. The analyses will focus on sex and race in relation to age, marital status and occupations, again looking at patterns of representation. Using Cultivation Analysis and theory as the overarching theoretical focus, she will also explore what we know about how these images influence viewers' conceptions of social reality.

Beginning with her dissertation research, an in-depth methodological examination of television characters, Nancy Signorielli has conducted research on images in the media and how these images are related to people's conceptions of social reality (cultivation analysis) for the past 50 years. An original member of the Cultural Indicators Research Team, Signorielli published one of the first (and frequently cited) studies of characterizations on television ("Patterns in Prime Time," Journal of Communication, 1974). A prolific researcher, she has written and/or edited seven single- and co-authored books, more than 90 journal articles and book chapters, has made over 150 conference presentations at invitational conferences as well as the annual conferences of the discipline's major organizations, and has testified at the House Energy and Commerce committee's subcommittee on telecommunications and finance oversight hearing on television violence and its impact on children. She received the BEA's Distinguished Scholar Award in 2010, and was named a Centennial Scholar of the Eastern Communication Association in 2009. Her current research includes examinations of portrayals of aging, sex roles, occupations, minorities, and violence on prime time network television and children's programs.

In Ferguson, MO, and throughout the country, videographers and photographers are clashing with law enforcement over access, despite recent court rulings reaffirming the First Amendment right to record. How can journalists stay safe and get the access they need? What remedies do they have if police overreach? And what's myth and what's reality about "privacy rights" when recording in public? The panel will be populated by academics/attorneys, a representative of the Student Press Law Center along with others having first-hand experience on the issues to be addressed.

Session 4: Queer Studies & Media Studies: Connections, Challenges, and Opportunities
Featured Speaker: Gust Yep, San Francisco State University

Focusing on their productive potentialities, this presentation explores the connections, challenges, and opportunities emerging from encounters between queer studies and media studies. More specifically, I identify and highlight, in this exploration, the theoretical impulses, methodological inclinations, and pragmatic possibilities of queer studies for the examination and analysis of media texts and production processes. To illustrate this, I offer examples from several studies published with my research team. Further, I explore how traditional and emerging media offer challenges and opportunities to stretch and expand the theoretical, methodological, and activist domains of queer studies. I conclude by engaging audience members on an exploration of these potentialities in relationship to their own research, pedagogical, design and production projects.

Research Podium Session: How Do Audiences Take Shape? -- James G. Webster, Professor of Communication Studies, Northwestern University

For 40 years, BEA’s 2015 Lifetime Achievement in Scholarship recipient, James Webster, has been asking the question “how do audiences take shape?” His first answer was published in 1983. Since then, it seems digital media have changed everything. But despite claims that anywhere anytime media have put people in charge, it’s not so simple. Webster’s new answer forms the basis of a recent book The Marketplace of Attention: How Audiences Take Shape in a Digital Age, which he’ll discuss during the podium session.

James Webster is a Professor of Communication Studies at Northwestern University. He got his PhD from Indiana University in 1980. He’s been at Northwestern since 1986, including several years as the Senior Associate Dean of the School of Communication. During that time, he helped create the School’s doctoral program in Media, Technology and Society. His students have won dissertation awards from BEA and NCA.

Webster’s own research focuses on media audiences. His two most recent books are; The Marketplace of Attention: How Audiences Take Shape in a Digital Age (2014 MIT Press) and the fourth edition of Ratings Analysis: Audience Measurement and Analytics with Patricia Phalen and Lawrence Lichty (2014 Routledge). Webster is a long-time member of BEA and has been on the editorial board of the Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media for 30 years. He is also on the editorial boards of the Journal of Communication and the International Journal of Communication. In 2012 he won the University of Amsterdam’s Denis McQuail award for writing the article that best advanced communication theory. In addition to his research and teaching, Webster works from time to time as a consultant for audience measurement and media companies.

Across the Divide?: Writing Characters vs. Action

We often talk about “character-driven” vs. “plot(action)-driven” scripts. But is it possible to balance the two? Do techniques for writing characters vs. action vary from genre to genre, or format to format? Should we encourage students to write action-oriented/big budget scripts, or to start with character-driven pieces that they might be able to produce themselves? Panelists will address these questions, and session attendees will be encouraged to contribute their thoughts as well.

Seeing Radio as a Visual Medium: Sound Art, Science and Data Analysis

This panel reviews visual elements employed in early radio theater, songs/videos centered on radio, stations embedded into games, and huge online radio archives (images/data/artifacts).

Panelists contend radio has always employed visual elements; its emergence on the Web and mobile phones is merely an extension of that phenomena.

Put The Audience In The Room: The Direct Cinema of Drew Associates

In the not too distant past, storytelling films were largely the province of Hollywood and documentary was primarily used in news reporting. Robert Drew (1924-2014)—recognized as the "father" of Direct Cinema (or, American Cinéma Vérité)—sought a new method of creating a visual narrative that would make documentaries more gripping and exciting in a way that takes advantage of television's ability to draw audiences into dramatic stories with immediacy.Taking advantage of lightweight cameras and synchronized sound, Robert Drew and his associates (Ann Drew, D.A. Pennebaker, Richard Leacock, Albert & David Maysles, Hope Ryden, Jim Lipscomb & Greg Shuker) embarked on an experiment to develop a new type of documentary, "…it would be reporting without summary and opinion; it would be the ability to look in on people's lives at crucial times from which you could deduce certain things and see a kind of truth that can only be gotten by personal experience" (Drew, 1962). Documentarian Michael Moore has stated, "All of us who make nonfiction movies can trace our lineage to what he [Drew] created." Each scholar on this panel will present a retrospective of the impact Drew Associates have had on American documentary, how it has evolved since the seminal TV documentary "Primary" (1960) launched the Direct Cinema revolution, and whether or not recent innovations in newer, lighter and higher quality equipment are poised to do the same for contemporary documentary style, form and function.

A Global Village: Insights into the Universal Nature of Media

There has been much debate over the years in regards to the role culture plays in media productions. This panel investigates the universal nature of the media. Marshall McLuhan’s idea of a “global village” has now become a reality. Dave Marash (2011) in an article titled “Fade to Black” explained, “For the first time in history, mankind is developing a universal language: video. People now communicate with video on two billion computers and more than one and a half billion television sets.” These statistics, much enhanced today, bring together all of the entertainment, infotainment and business of the creative, technical, and management media arts and sciences strengthening the idea that video has become one entity, a combination of three separate mediums, which speaks to all nations and cultures in a single voice.

Mark Coné completed his BFA and MFA degrees at Florida Atlantic University with a major in Computer Art and Animation. He has 10 years teaching experience at the university level. He currently is an Assistant professor at Lynn University teaching in the multimedia design program. Previously, he was employed at American Intercontinental university teaching courses in game design and Florida Atlantic University teaching courses in digital compositing, 3d modeling, and animation.

This is a projection mapping and compositing workshop. Projection mapping, or video mapping is a technique that consists of projecting imagery onto buildings, structures, and other 3d surfaces. Compositing is the manipulation and combination of at least two source images. Projection mapping uses combined source images such as drawings, video, and rendered animation and projects them into real 3d space. This technique can be used in various media displays in advertising, film/theater, or other visual presentations. Speaker will provide a simple work flow to implement projection mapping using a laptop and a projector. This work flow will cover the preparation, setup, masking, animation, and the final projection outputted to be mapped in real space. The software tools used are Photoshop, After Effects, Modul8, and Madmapper.
