Gender Performativity

October 21, 2020 Leave a comment Chicago / Turabian, Humanities

Performativity: Explain the two different ways we perform, according to Judith Butler. Then identify which of these two forms of performativity Judith Butler thinks we do with gender. Unpack why this differentiation is important and the potential  problems that could come in understanding gender as the other kind of performance. Finally, think of an example that proves Butler’s argument and explain how it does so.

While a commercial network sitcom airs for a 30-minute period, the actual program time (length of scripted content) is only 20-22 minutes.  It varies from network-to-network.  It’s even less time with shows in syndication.  Writers have to take into consideration where to have certain scenes end and pick up between commercials.  As they say, ‘time is of the essence’ with regard to this critical timing.  If a show is produced and recorded which runs over it’s allotted time, the network will ‘kick’ it back to the production company to trim down the time.  It has to be exactly what the network requires.

When you think about it, this is where the networks are at a disadvantage over streaming services like Netflix since they do not have that time restraint that the networks must adhere to each hour of the day.  If a Netflix shows runs over or under the a specified time, it is not really a problem.  Since I work on both a traditional network show and a Netflix show, I see this by the number of pages on a script.

For this assignment, pick a 30-minute sitcom of your choice.  It must be on a commercial network or local station. Do not view a program on Netflix or any commercial-free venues.  It can be a current show in production or an older one now in off-network syndication.

If you do not have a TV or cable, just watch a program on one of the network’s streaming websites.  When shown online, they include commercials which will satisfy the elements for this paper.

The requirements for the assignment are at the bottom of this page.  You will identify both the ‘A’ and ‘B’ story lines although you do not have to give a complete summary of the material.  More importantly, identify what the storylines are about.  Inventory the various ‘stop sets’ (commercial breaks) and by noting the advertising, which age groups do you think the sponsors are looking for.  Summarize your findings and draw a conclusion.

For Which It Stands – Sean Hill

Guide to a Critical Analysis
Goal:
Evaluate one essay posted on our Canvas shell. Try to develop six paragraphs (an introduction, one refutation paragraph, three paragraphs to present your argument, and a conclusion). Evaluating means that you are the critic: Which rhetorical strategies does the author use successfully, and which are weak? Remember that an argument backs an opinion using evidence.

The structure of the essay:

I. Introduction One paragraph:
1) Open with an attention grabber

2) Give background or perhaps an illustrative example to show the significance of the subject or the nature of the controversy

3) Consider stating the conclusion of your argument (claim) here as the thesis of your essay, and it should mention the method/plan/reasons for such an evaluation

II. Refutation Usually one paragraph:
You must choose the best location for your argument. The key is to use good transitions between the refutation and the presentation of the argument.

If one paragraph . . .

1) Give a brief statement explaining who may have opposing view(s) and why, to make your reader aware that you have considered other points of view

2) but (transition and) explain why you have rejected those points for good reasons.

Some writers place the refutation paragraph almost last, just before the conclusion, or even interspersed at effective locations throughout the essay. If your stance is extremist/controversial, introduce counterarguments in the beginning of your paper on; a paragraph after the intro would be appropriate.

III. Presentation of your argument At least three paragraphs:
1) Paragraph Reason One

2) Paragraph Reason Two

3) Paragraph Reason Three

Throughout the body of your essay, to prove your thesis, build your case one point at a time, perhaps devoting one paragraph to the defense of each of your premises, or setting forth your evidence in (at least three) separate, meaningful categories (one category per paragraph). These three reasons confirm the thesis as subclaims. This means that you must have at least three body paragraphs for this part.

Please remember that each body paragraph should have a standard structure:

1) topic sentence argumentative and mentions which reason from thesis

2) introduction to an example (this may be a transition or explanation of context)

3) the actual example: a summary, paraphrase, or quotation, cited MLA style

4) argue what the reader should respond to regarding the example so that the reader absorbs your opinion rather than forming their own opinion

5) concluding sentence for paragraph argumentative and mentions which reason

IV. Conclusion One paragraph:
1) Remind the reader of the overall argument (thesis) using different wording

2) Summarize

3) Leave the reader with a memorable moment

After all your evidence has been presented and/or your premises defended, pull your whole argument together in the last paragraph by showing how the evidence you have presented provides sufficient grounds for accepting your conclusion. You may also add here some conventional device to finish your essay, such as a prediction, a new example, a reference to the example with which you began (now seen in a new light), etc.

Extra thoughts on an argumentative essay:
Without enough proof, a writer can sound judgmental but not logical, and vice versa, if a writer were to have overflowing logos, causing his or her voice to get lost, then the ethos would be weakened. Hopefully, your efforts throughout the semester have helped you balance this already. With evaluative and argumentative work, sometimes providing proof can cause tonal shifts if the writer is not careful. Be sure to reiterate your stance by using evaluative words throughout your sentences to control the tone.

Use transitions.
