Textual Poachers: Television Fans & Participatory Culture
Smith reviews \"Textual Poachers: Television Fans & Participatory Culture\" by Henry Jenkins.
Pop culture is a study of life
Logicians enjoy using TV commercials and newspaper editorials to exemplify specific types of bad arguments. There are Shakespeare professors who find Disney's Lion King helpful for introducing the plot of Hamlet, and religion teachers who can use the Star Wars notion of The Force as a starting-point to explain the Chinese concept of the Tao. We also can learn a lot about ourselves by watching music videos. People who take MTV seriously have examined the body images formed by young girls who watch rap videos and those who watch mainstream pop. Contrast the queenly rap star Missy Elliott with size-4 pop singer Celine Dion; contrast the curvaceous backup singers and dancers in rap videos to the waifs who populate mainstream videos. Focusing on popular culture often provides a voice to those who are under-represented in more traditional studies. I once attended a slide presentation on popular women's magazines of the 19th century, which were considered trashy and disposable at the time; now they are a valuable record of the unexpectedly wide-ranging imagination and taste for adventure of Victorian women.
Coyote Wants a Baby
\"My, my we are putting on the pounds!\" The nurse told Coyote. \"If you put on the weight now you'll never get it off after delivery and then you'll just keep gaining and gaining. Now we wouldn't want that would we, little Miss Coyote?!\" Coyote said, \"We wouldn't want that. You are right. I will stop eating all together.\" Then the nurse said, \"Oh, no! You must eat! You must think of your baby not of yourself! You must eat 52 ounces of meat a day, 25 dairy products an hour, health shakes, 219 different types of vitamins, a pound each of carrots, zucchinis, celery, rutabaga, potatoes, yams, squash, and peas at every meal and then you must walk a mile (gently though) and exercise every 45 minutes or your baby will be deformed, sick, diseased, disfigured, slow, autistic, retarded, abnormal, hyperactive, attention deficit, and wear plaids and stripes together and it will all be your fault entirely and we will have to publicly humiliate and shun you because of it. And if you can't fit into your prepregnancy jeans immediately after delivery we will chastise and degrade you until you are depressed and suicidal. Luckily for you though we can prescribe Prozac. So, Miss Coyote, don't worry! Just keep eating and eating and the minute you deliver your little perfect bundle of obligation and worry we'll do a liposuction on you and get you right back into the shape every woman should be: thin.\" When Nurse I'm-in-Charge rammed the wires to the heart monitor up Coyote's vagina, she ordered him to stop screaming. \"Good girls deliver quietly,\" she told him. So even though Coyote thought about just cutting his own stomach open and pulling the baby out that way, he became perfectly quiet and got a manicure, pedicure, and a shampoo, cut and blowdry. It helped the 147 hours of labor pass more quickly. At the moment Coyote had been waiting for, right after Dr. I'm-On-Duty-and-Even-Though-We-Never-Met-I'm-Going-To- Stick-My-Hand-up-Your-Birth-Canal-and-Tell-You-Exactly-What's-Going- on-Because-I-Went-to-College-and-Therefore-I-Know took out a shiny blade and sliced Coyote from his belly button, down between his labia, across his anus and up to his shoulder blades (the baby comes out easier that way and there's much less pain for the mother) Dr. Brave-and-Timely reached down between Coyote's legs and yanked out the baby. \"Another successful delivery by Me,\" he exclaimed. At last, Coyote had a baby, and he did not push it out the silly way the woman in the woods did from between her legs and then get up and carry her child away. Oh, no. Coyote had his baby pulled out by two of the finest metal forceps he had ever seen and it only hurt so bad that he passed out. His baby got pulled out from between his liver and his inter-highway-danger- ahead intestine the way it should be done.
