Here's what I'd like you to think about heading into section Wednesday. We'll be primarily discussing Cripps, Haralovich, and Lipsitz, but as always, bring all your questions with you.
- Key terms: bring three (or more) with you from lecture and the readings.
- What different opinions of Amos 'n' Andy does Cripps outline? Who were the major players supporting and protesting the show, and why?
- Define the practice of red lining. How did it intensify segregation as suburbs developed? How is it represented in our screenings thus far?
- How do early domestic comedies incorporate ethnicity, memory, and working class narratives into consumerist messages? How have our screenings demonstrated this messaging?
- How do these readings position race, class, and gender in the shows we've screened? How would you relate their arguments to the social context of the time that we've been discussing in lecture?
And, finally, for your Monday fun video, here's PDQ Bach (classical music's equivalent of Abbot & Costello) commenting on Beethoven's 5th Symphony, 1st Movement, as if it were a sports match.
