This document summarizes a literature review that examines how intersectionality methodology has been applied in studies of Black women's experiences in higher education over the past 30 years. The review analyzes 680 studies and finds that 23 studies engaged Kimberlé Crenshaw's three-dimensional framework of intersectionality, which includes structural, political, and representational dimensions. While these studies seldom used the term "intersectionality," they employed four strategies that the review coins as "intersectionality methodology." The strategies provide a guide for applying intersectionality as a methodological tool in social science research.

This document discusses issues facing African American men and boys in the United States. It notes that mainstream hip-hop culture promotes exaggerated forms of masculinity like aggression and strength. Statistics show high rates of incarceration, unemployment, and shorter lifespans for African American men compared to other groups. Traditional views of masculinity pressure men to suppress emotions and prioritize dominance, which can contribute to violence and harm relationships. The document calls for redefining masculinity in a way that supports nonviolence, education, and healthy families.

This document discusses queer theory and its key concepts. It defines queer theory as attempting to redefine sexual identity and preference in order to find a space where homosexuality is seen as normal. It notes that queer theory interrogates how sexuality and identity are constructed. Some basic tenets discussed are that gender and sexuality are socially constructed rather than biological. The document also provides brief overviews of lesbian and gay criticism as well as gay and lesbian literature and history.
2014.4 journal of literature and art studiesDoris Carly
The document summarizes Charles Dickens' portrayal of self-damaging behavior in two female characters from his novel Bleak House: Lady Dedlock and Mademoiselle Hortense. It analyzes how their low self-esteem stems from various reasons and manifests in self-imposed isolation, madness, purposely dangerous acts, physical self-abuse, and destructive relationships with men. While Dickens did not intend to malign women, his depiction reflected the Victorian era's ambivalent attitudes towards strong female characters. The document aims to examine Dickens' exploration of self-damaging traits in women and understand the psychological forces driving such behavior.
Longitudinal qualitative research analyzing change through time by johnny sal...MiguelRosario24
This chapter discusses key aspects of longitudinal qualitative research, including definitions of longitudinal studies. The chapter provides three examples of longitudinal qualitative studies to illustrate different timeframes that can be considered longitudinal: a 7-year study of children's responses to theater from kindergarten through 6th grade, a 20-month educational ethnography of a teacher, and a 2.5-year follow up study of a participant from the original 7-year study during their adolescence. The chapter establishes that while longitudinal means a "lonnnnnnnng time", qualitative studies of varied durations can be considered longitudinal.
The document discusses lesbian, gay, and queer criticism and literature. It explains that lesbian criticism addresses issues of both sexism and heterosexism. Gay criticism often analyzes how being gay influences one's worldview and experience of oppression as a gay person. Lesbian, gay, and queer criticism rely on textual evidence like homoerotic imagery to strengthen interpretations of works. Typical questions of lesbian, gay, and queer criticism include examining politics, literary devices, experiences portrayed, and coding of queer identities in texts.
The Importance of Including Adolescent Literature with Deaf Characters in the...Sharon Pajka
The document discusses the importance of including adolescent literature with deaf characters in school curriculums. It provides an overview of the presenter's research study on portrayals of deaf characters by deaf and hearing authors. The research examined how deaf and hearing readers perceive deaf characters in adolescent literature through a mixed-methods content analysis and reader response surveys. The findings showed that readers slightly preferred books by hearing authors and perceived characters more positively when they were portrayed from a cultural perspective of deafness rather than a pathological perspective.
This document provides an overview of MLA formatting and style guidelines for academic papers. It covers the basics of MLA formatting such as setting 1 inch margins, double spacing, and adding a header with the author's last name and page number. In-text citations and Works Cited entries are also explained, including formats for citing books, articles, websites and other sources. Specific guidelines are provided for quoting and citing sources in the text as well as formatting the Works Cited page according to MLA style.
This document contains annotated bibliographies for several sources that discuss topics related to Chicanos, Latino students in higher education, feminism in The Great Gatsby, and writing advice. The annotations provide summaries of each source that describe their relevance, arguments, and insights into Chicana contributions, struggles of Latino college students, gender roles in Fitzgerald's novel, and humorous advice for writing and dealing with the writing process.
From the different worldviews between these groups, we discuss positionality and access to data, i.e. the ways characteristics such as socio-economic, education, social status, and gender influence the research. The idea is not to set ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’, but to ponder on how successful (or not) were our attempts and reflect on unforeseen effects of our own work.
Pathways to Possibilities: Discovering Deaf CharactersSharon Pajka
This document summarizes a research study on the portrayal and perception of deaf characters in adolescent literature. The study analyzed 6 books with deaf main characters, half written by deaf authors and half by hearing authors. It assessed how deafness was portrayed and surveyed deaf, hearing, and culturally familiar readers on their perceptions. The study found that hearing authors generally portrayed deaf characters from a cultural perspective while deaf authors included more pathological aspects. Readers overall preferred books by hearing authors and perceived culturally deaf male characters most positively. The study aims to increase awareness of this literature genre.
The presentation was submitted to the Department of English for paper 6, the Victorian Literature where the purpose of the presentation was to see how far a frame can be interpreted in the deepest manner possible as well as reading the frames can be a modern way of reading between the lines of the text can be concluded.
This research project analyzes social media feeds from Twitter to understand the existence of revolutionary civil society in Belarus. The researcher will search for terms related to democracy in Belarus, anti-Lukashenka, pro-West, or nationalist sentiments. The project uses an inductive research design to determine theory from data collection and analysis. It adopts an interpretive epistemological approach to analyze how civil society constructs identity through social media. Snowball sampling will be used since the community is hypothesized to be interconnected.
Document 1 discusses a course on science fiction in America that will cover major authors, genres, and how these texts help understand American culture and politics. Document 2 explores a course on European film directors who immigrated to Hollywood and changed American movies, as well as composer emigrants. Document 3 discusses a class on JFK assassination conspiracy theories where students research different cases and theories for a final exam.
Both texts portray different forms of racism present in society. Text one shows overt racism through a movie about segregated proms for black and white students. It highlights the power imbalance between the dominant white group and the minority black students. Text two depicts more subtle new racism in New Zealand through the otherization of Asian migrants in media coverage. It analyzes how Asian voices are neglected or misrepresented. The media plays a role in both texts in either addressing or perpetuating racism through unequal representation and misuse of minority voices.

Semantic annotation of images is an important research topic on both image understanding and database or web image search. Image annotation is a technique to choosing appropriate labels for images with
extracting effective and hidden feature in pictures. In the feature extraction step of proposed method, we
present a model, which combined effective features of visual topics (global features over an image) and
regional contexts (relationship between the regions in Image and each other regions images) to automatic image annotation.In the annotation step of proposed method, we create a new ontology (base on WordNet ontology) for the semantic relationships between tags in the classification and improving semantic gap exist in the automatic image annotation.Experiments result on the 5k Corel dataset show the proposed
method of image annotation in addition to reducing the complexity of the classification, increased accuracy
compared to the another methods.

Trust is a subjective quality of a situation. It’s messy, situational and contextual. How can we make sense of it? How can we improve it? And: what impact would that have? Take away practical answers to these questions. Olaf boldly labeled himself the Trust Artist three years ago, starting a journey of curious discovery while helping to increase trust and confidence in people and systems. Now he’s ready to share what he’s learned. Integrating common sense, neurobiology and complexity science, experience how to work with trust.
Trust is often explained as something hard to build and easy to lose. I have found a more helpful perspective. We always have trust: I may trust you to do as you say, or trust you to lie to me - both are qualities of a situation and a relationship.
I will explore the different variants of trust in my talk that are relevant in business:
Confidence and how that effects choices we make, how we show up, how much of our creative potential we bring to work.
How culture can encourage confidence or dampen it, and how leadership choices set examples and boundaries for the choices of others.
Last but not least, how trust leads to clarity of intent - and how clarity of intent is a necessary condition for clarity of design.
The session will contain interactive exercises that people can take away and use at work or at home the next day. Practical methods to understand, assess and increase trust.

Parallelizing a Real-Time Steering Simulation for Computer Games with OpenMP ...Bjoern Knafla
Slides from my presentation of a paper with the same title at ParCo 2007 - http://www.fz-juelich.de/nic-series/volume38/knafla.pdf .
Future computer games need parallel programming to meet their ever growing hunger for per- formance. We report on our experiences in parallelizing the game-like C++ application Open- SteerDemo with OpenMP. To enable deterministic data-parallel processing of real-time agent steering behaviour, we had to change the high-level design, and refactor interfaces for explicit shared resource access. Our experience is summarized in a set of guidelines to help parallelizing legacy game code.

- The document discusses open science and how greater collaboration and data sharing between pharmaceutical companies, academia, and other groups could help accelerate drug discovery. It argues that pre-competitive data and models being made freely accessible in public domains could deliver high value.
- It provides examples of existing open databases and tools but notes that more coordinated efforts are needed to clean up chemistry data on the internet and support those promoting open science. Integrating proprietary and public data through open interfaces in collaborative platforms could benefit all parties.
CISOs are from Mars, CIOs are from VenusBarry Caplin
Most organizations have a CIO; many have a CISO. These key leadership positions often approach solutions differently and have different motivations. The CIO must deliver IT, automation, innovation and efficiency. The CISO is tasked with assuring adherence to security frameworks and regulatory standards, and protecting against, and responding to, vulnerabilities and incidents. These mandates can conflict. And often the CISO reports to the CIO. We will take a light-hearted look at questions including: What are the issues?; Are CISOs and CIOs from different planets?; Can we align to meet critical business needs, deliver value and protect the organization?

This document discusses conventions and theories related to different media forms such as music videos, magazines, and digipaks. It examines how Laura Mulvey's concept of the male gaze is used in music videos, with women often represented in a way that objectifies them for the male viewer. The document also lists some artists like AlunaGeorge and Jessie J that provided inspiration, and discusses stylistic elements like strip bars that were used in a music video to emphasize the song, drawing from techniques in videos by Britney Spears and Rihanna. Other effects like blackouts and fades were employed to showcase the artist/dancers in conjunction with the strip bars, relating back to how Britney Spears used similar techniques.
The document discusses the history and development of American Studies as an academic field. It describes how American Studies originated in the 1930s focusing on literature and history, then evolved to become more interdisciplinary. A major early approach was the "myth and symbol" school which analyzed recurring myths and symbols in American literature to understand American culture. While influential, this approach faced criticism for being too generalized and homogenizing. In the 1960s, American Studies embraced new perspectives like social sciences, Marxism, and identity-based approaches as the field diversified and became more responsive to social changes and issues of gender, race, and multiculturalism. American Studies now takes many approaches to understand American culture from various perspectives.
This document provides guidance on researching the rhetoric of Richard Nixon through finding relevant speeches, biographical information, and analyzing his rhetorical strategies.

This book provides a critical analysis of Turkey under President Erdogan's increasingly authoritarian rule. It reveals corruption schemes that have enriched Erdogan and transitioned Turkey away from democracy into a dictatorship that abuses human rights and limits free expression. As a NATO member, Turkey has become an uncertain ally for the United States and Europe due to Erdogan's Islamist agenda, authoritarian tactics, and unstable foreign policy in the region. The book predicts a dangerous future for Turkey if Erdogan continues consolidating power without reforms to prevent further democratic backsliding.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

To say that researchers can find tons of material on Michael Jackson would be an
understatement. Our original goal was to provide scholars with a guide to printed books, articles,
websites and other online sources that researchers could use as legitimate content. We wanted to
avoid sensationalist works like David Perel’s Freak: Inside the Twisted World of Michael
Jackson or National Enquirer type publications.
14
The Journal of Pan African Studies, vol.3, no.7, March 2010
2. We felt that type of literature could defeat the purpose of honest scholarly investigation, despite
the fact that these materials do tells us something about popular culture and the culture of the
icon. We quickly found, however, that there simply was not enough time or space to put
together a complete collection of books, articles, websites, etc., on Jackson for academic
researchers. We could do a whole reference book on Jackson resources and still not cover it all.
Indeed we found a number of M.A. theses and Ph.D. dissertations with Jackson content which
we also have left out for the reasons stated above.
We consulted a copious number of articles to select the ones in this guide. We surveyed at least
100 different databases covering a wide range of subject areas from chemistry, music, general
and humanities to engineering. The range of places scholars can find Jackson content surprised
us. In the end, we chose to focus on articles in the academic literature. Each article in this guide
meets at least one of the following criteria:
1) Was the article in a peer-reviewed journal?
2) If not, would it still be of interest to scholars and researchers?
3) Did the article have substantial Jackson content?
4) Is the Jackson content unique?
5) Does the article tell us something about the way we see popular icons including Jackson?
The breadth of Jackson’s influence, beyond his just being a pop icon, is truly astounding. This
bibliographic guide to the MJ in the scholarly literature just scratches the surface. We do,
however, give scholars a place to start exploring the world of the “King of Pop” in academic
literature. If nothing else, it illustrates just how pervasive Jackson’s impact is.
Berberovic’, Sanja. “The Michael Jackson of Two or Three Noses Ago and the Michael Jackson
of Today.” Jezikoslovlje 8.1 (2007): 27-44.
The title of this article is misleading because only a small portion is devoted to Michael Jackson.
The author discusses the characteristics of personal names from a linguistic point of view. After
detailed explanations of “figurative meaning” (31), “metonymic mappings” (31), and “partitive
restrictive modification” (31) related to proper nouns, the article shifts to discussions about
famous people such as: Zinedine Zidane, Saddam Hussein, George Bush, Shakira, Eminem,
Shakespeare, and Michael Jackson. Each person is described as having different stages in his or
her life that make that person seem like a different individual in each stage. Jackson’s stages are
characterized by his multiple cosmetic surgeries, his songs at the top of the charts, and his
troubles dealing with child molestation charges and the trial. The author makes a point that some
view the Michael Jackson of the 1980s as markedly different from the MJ of the 1990s and
beyond.

3. Brooks, Jodi. “Ghosting the Machine: The Sounds of Tap and the Sounds of Film.” Screen. 44.4
(Winter 2003): 355-78.
The author looks at the history of Hollywood tap dancing and how that history fits with
traditional views of African-Americans and minstrel ideological understanding. Spike Lee’s
Bamboozled and MJ’s Black or White video are analyzed as being different from the traditional
mode of tap within Hollywood. Tap is a form of “sound writing” (358). Black or White is seen as
a critique of tap’s place in film. Brooks focuses on the very last part of the video, which is
referred to as the “mute dance.” Black or White and Bamboozled ask the viewer to “listen a little
more closely to the rhythms and beats of musical entertainment” (378), and thus become more
involved with understanding the percussive character of the form.
Burnett, Robert, and Bert Deivert. “Black or White: Michael Jackson’s Video as a Mirror of
Popular Culture.” Popular Music and Society. 19.3 (Autumn 1995): 19-40.
When the Black or White video first appeared on Fox Broadcasting, it caused all kinds
controversy due to some disturbing images and words. The authors analyze the video in terms of
teaching students about intertextaulity (ie., “relationship between two or more texts showing
their presence within a work” (22). The video, which is discussed scene by scene in great detail,
was shown to over 500 students to see if they could find intertextual references. At least 50% of
the students found other movies, stars, and product references that were familiar to them in
Jackson’s video. Ultimately Jackson is viewed not as an innovator, but as the “King of
Pastiche,” just a “mirror” (37) of prevalent culture ideals.
Campbell, Mel. “Say the Unsayable: The Non-Verbal Vocalizations of Michael Jackson.”
Context: Journal of Music Research. 26 (Spring 2003): 17-26.
The author goes beyond Jackson’s lyrics, gestures, and singing vocals, analyzing those non-
verbal vocalizations of Jackson’s “whoops, yelps, grunts, squeals,” etc., and there is a definite,
decipherable “Hoo or Ow!” that is indentified with Jackson. The author points out that non-
verbal vocalizations have a long history within slave spirituals, but Jackson’s vocalizations have
little in common with those. We can learn about issues of race, sexuality, and gender by listening
more closely to what Jackson doesn’t sing.

4. Carpenter, Serena, Stephen Lacy, and Frederick Fico. “Network News Coverage of High-Profile
Crimes during 2004: A Study of Source Use and Reporter Context.” Journalism & Mass
Communication Quarterly 83.4 (Winter 2006): 901-916.
The purpose of this article is to explore the premise that television news is more concerned with
feeding the public’s desire for sensational news coverage than following reporting standards for
complete and factual information. A 2004 study was conducted to research how four high-
profile crimes involving Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Martha Stewart, and Scott Peterson
were covered compared to other well-known news stories in 2004. The main focus for the study
was to examine the role of the journalists, whether they contacted reliable sources, cited their
sources, and provided all viewpoints in their coverage. Results indicate that most coverage of
the high-profile crimes was aired in the morning news, and these crimes were covered differently
from other important news stories.
Colquitt, Joseph A. “Using Jury Questionnaires; (Ab)using Jurors.” Connecticut Law Review.
40.1 (November 2007): 1-51.
While there is not much Jackson content, this article briefly discusses the jurors in the child
molestation case. The jurors in the MJ trial wanted to return to their private lives in the same
nameless way they were chosen to serve. The article looks at the broader question of juror
privacy and juror questionnaires that are sometimes administered during trials from various
sources.
Culp, Jr., Jerome Mc Cristal. “The Michael Jackson Pill: Equality, Race, and Culture.” Michigan
Law Review. 92.8. Symposium: Visions of Equality: The Future of Title VII. (August
1994): 2613-2644.
This is an odd article using Michael Jackson as a metaphor for whiteness. The author sets the
article up in three parts 1) a debate between professors, 2) a debate on Crossfire like programs,
3) a written decision from the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Dr. Michael Jackson,
educated at Motown University and “now a professor of medical appearance at Hollywood
University” (2615), has developed a pill that will turn all African-Americans into Anglos, thus
eliminating racism all together. The larger issue is the content of Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act and its effect on equalization of race. It presents all sides of the coin from equality in the
work place to racial identity. The authors’ approach is certainly one of the most creative that
we’ve seen.

5. Davidson, Clive. “Technology: Brain Waves Show that Michael Jackson is No Thriller.” New
Scientist. 13.1863 (March 6, 1993): 21.
This short piece describes how a cable television company used a brain wave analyzer to gauge
viewers’ responses to various shows and advertisements. The company found that there were
high responses for those watching documentaries, but a Michael Jackson concert produced little
response and negligible brain activity.
Dery, Mark. “Cyberculture.” South Atlantic Quarterly 91.3 (Summer 1992): 501-523.
Dery examines the “computer-based image processing” (501) used in films such as Terminator
2, Judgment Day and Michael Jackson’s short film, Black or White. In Jackson’s film, a single
being experiences transformations/mutations changing his or her appearance related to gender,
race, age, etc. The film intended to promote Jackson’s album, Dangerous, but it actually referred
to the promotion of worldwide materialism in which humans morph their bodies using current
technology. The author believes that Jackson’s purpose is to tell his personal story about his
self-transformation of his eyes, nose, lips and complexion. Other sci-fi films and creative works
related to cyberculture are covered.
Epstein, Debbie, and Deborah Lynn Steinberg. “The Face of Ruin: Evidentiary Spectacle and the
Trial of Michael Jackson.” Social Semiotics 17.4 (December 2007): 441-458.
This article analyzes the documentary, Michael Jackson’s Boys, which aired on British television
the week before Jackson’s 2005 trial for child molestation. The authors examine all aspects of
the documentary using a semiological method, identifying three themes. The main themes center
around Jackson’s unnatural appearance and the attention and popularity he had, the evidence in
the case, and the inhuman treatment of individuals on television. The documentary incorporates
numerous close-ups of Jackson’s pixelled mug shot and his facial expressions. Its narrative
implies his undisputable guilt. Footage from Jackson’s music videos, news stories, other
documentaries, and television series dealing with crime are included. Throughout the video,
music and effects are used to create a sense of danger and fear. Although some of the actual
witnesses, the boys that had current or past friendships with Jackson, and Jackson himself denied
that any abuse took place, the documentary uses hearsay, insinuations, and assumptions to
convince the audience that Jackson is guilty.

6. Erni, John Nguyet. “Queer Figurations in the Media: Critical Reflections on the Michael Jackson
Sex Scandal.” Critical Studies in Mass Communication 15.2 (June 1998): 158-180.
Erni discusses the media’s representation of the 1993 child molestation case involving Michael
Jackson. It focuses on the testimony provided about the child molestation charges, the media’s
treatments of Jackson, and the questions of innocence in a case of this nature. Implications of
“legal, medical, psychiatric, moral, economic, and cultural spheres” (160) and the media’s
insistence that queer orientation is considered a threat to all young children are discussed. The
author includes information about Jackson’s live interview with Oprah before the scandal;
photographs of Jackson taken for evidence; the relationship between Jackson and Joey Randall,
(the minor in the case); and former Jackson employees who were paid for their testimonies.
Favor, J. Martin, “What’s a Million Dollars to Michael Jackson.” Souls (Spring 2001): 28-37.
The author discusses Ghana Africa’s attempt to bring in tourist trade by restoring slave castles as
part of its history. While many African-Americans find this distasteful, Africans see it as not
only a way to bring in needed dollars, but also as a part of their history that needs to be
documented and used. They see stars like Michael Jackson as a valid representation of “Black
Americans” and how they exist. Jackson and stars like Eddie Murphy , Michael Jordan, etc., are
“black Americans Ghanaians can reach out and touch…”(35) since there are so many
representations in movies, compact discs, the Internet, clothing, etc.
Gomez-Barris, Macarena and Herman Gray. “Michael Jackson, Television, and Post-Op
Disasters.” Television & New Media 7.1 (February 2006): 40-51.
This article discusses the documentary, Living with Michael Jackson, by Martin Bashir, a British
journalist, and compares its content to the tension in the U.S. concerning race, gender, family
values, and morality. Millions viewed the documentary witnessing Jackson’s absurd behavior
and conflicting responses to Bashir’s intense inquiries. After discussing Jackson’s experiences
as a child, entertainer, and parent, Bashir moves to questions about Jackson’s nose, facial
bleaching and other physical transformations. The disturbing information Jackson reveals causes
suspicion and concerns about his mental well-being and ability as a parent. In an effort to hold
Bashir accountable, Jackson’s also staff filmed the interviews. His version was aired on
television to support his accusations that Bashir misrepresented him. Although he had
objections, Jackson was aware that the media coverage renewed his place in the limelight. But
the documentary was very much a false picture of Jackson as material that was not
sensationalized was edited out and Jackson had to air his counter documentary, Michael
Jackson’s Private Home Movies. The Living documentary presented a confusing view of racial
and sexual identity in the “neoconservative” environment of America at the time.

7. Goode, Ian. “Living With Fame: ‘Geri’ and ‘Living with Michael Jackson.’” Social Semiotics
18.2 (June 2008): 177-190.
The author compares two documentaries, Geri by filmmaker Molly Dineen, and Living with
Michael Jackson by journalist Martin Bashir. Geri depicts the life of Geri Halliwell, former
member of “The Spice Girls,” and Living with Michael Jackson is about the famous pop star.
Both productions attempt to show differences and conflicts between their public and their private
lives. Goode also attempts to show how society exploits celebrity. Detailed explanations of the
actual interview questions and responses are provided. Throughout the interview process,
Dineen and Halliwell form a bond and a trust. At the beginning of the Jackson and Bashir
interviews, there is a strong trust, but as Bashir’s approach becomes more invasive and
demanding, trust is destroyed. Jackson’s responses shift to denial and defense of his facial
surgeries and his relationships with children.
Graham-Smith, Greg. “Habeas Corpus: Bodies of Evidence and Performed Litigiousness - the
Spectacle of Michael Jackson’s Trial.” Communicatio: South African Journal for
Communication Theory & Research 34.2 (2008): 278-289.
The author examines Michael Jackson’s 2005 trial for child molestation. He poses several
questions: how the law deals with a person whose body seems barely perceptible; how Jackson
depicted himself as the victim; and how the dramatic reenactments of the trial on national
television affected the trial. Jackson’s bodily changes are a product of technology resulting in a
“posthuman” (279) form. His song “Man in the Mirror” may be symbolic of the psychological
impact of Jackson’s hate for his appearance and why he used plastic surgery. Other speculation
indicates that Jackson strived for a futuristic look that paralleled his love of science fiction.
Many people wonder how Jackson was found not guilty. In the trial, Jackson’s lawyer was able
to discredit the accuser’s mother, seemingly putting her on trial and leading the attention away
from Jackson. Jackson tried to manipulate the trial by appearing sick, heavily medicated,
vulnerable, and unstable. Since the judge did not allow news coverage of the trial, two producers
used actual transcripts to create a daily drama with actors and legal advisors. This further made
the trial seem like entertainment.

8. Gumpert, Gary, and Susan Druker. “The Fake Trial of Michael Jackson.” Television Quarterly.
35.3/4 (Spring/Summer 2005): 26-30.
The authors argue that television cameras should be allowed in the courtrooms whether it is a
high profile case or not. During the Jackson molestation trial Judge Rodney S. Melville refused
to allow cameras, not wanting to turn the trial into a circus. As a result, E! Entertainment put
together its own “fake trial,” The Michael Jackson Trial, An E! News Presentation,with actors
based upon trial transcripts. But this was not really all that accurate; it provides a false view of
the events. There is no constitutional requisite which requires that trials be filmed or
photographed, and the E! program was solely for entertainment purposes. For true justice to
prevail, perhaps judges should allow cameras to record all trials.
Hills, Matt. “Michael Jackson Fans on Trial? ‘ Documenting’ Emotivism and Fandom in Wacko
about Jacko” Social Semiotics 17.4 (December 2007): 459-477.
The author explores the historical view that pop culture fans are extremely emotional and
irrational, and that they do not follow the norm. He centers on Michael Jackson’s fans and how
they were represented in a British documentary, Wacko about Jacko. A research method was
developed to study and compare the documentary’s script of conversations with the fans, as well
as Internet sites that include comments from his fans. The study evaluates how the documentary
portrays the fans as overly emotional and how it focuses on individual fans who are infatuated
with Michael Jackson to the point of fantasizing sexually and transforming their bodies to imitate
him. Participating fans trusted the producers of the documentary to represent them in a positive
way, but the author provides evidence to the contrary.
Izod, John. “Androgyn and Stardom: Cultural Meanings of Michael Jackson.” The San
Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal. 14.3 (1995): 63-74.
The author places Michael Jackson within the “Jung child archetype” and argues that he
somehow represents a “safe” androgynous star. He says that placing MJ in this archetype
compares the pop icon to the classical mythology concept of the “the flower boy” like Adonis.
One who presents an androgynous image is less threatening sexually but he is not necessarily
less “manly.” Much discussion is made of Jackson’s own admission that he maintains a childlike
lifestyle and of his groundbreaking interview on Oprah in 1993. That Jackson was an adult and
performed as an adult is irony that is not lost on the author. Despite the initial child molestation
case, many admirers still supported him and ultimately it did not discredit his career and life as
much as it could have.

9. Johnson, Allison. “When a Celebrity is Tied to Immoral Behavior: Consumer Reactions to
Michael Jackson and Kobe Bryant.” Advances in Consumer Research. 32 (2005): 100-
101.
This extended abstract argues that Social Identity Theory can help predict how consumers will
behave. Consumers’ identification with certain stars like Michael Jackson or Kobe Bryant,
despite their implications in deviant behavior, will determine how consumers feel about them.
For example, those who believe in Jackson’s absolute innocence of any legal charges are more
likely to continue buying those products that he may endorse.
Johnson, Pamela K. “The Mirror of Michael Jackson.” International Review of African American
Art. 22.4 (2009): 36-37.
A fitting personal tribute to Michael Jackson after his death, the author describes his influence on
her and the King of Pop’s influence on popular culture as a whole. She does point out that, at the
time the Bad album was released, MJ was looking whiter, and many in the black community felt
discarded.
Johnson, Victoria. “The Politics of Morphing: Michael Jackson as Science Fiction Border Text.”
The Velvet Light Trap 32 (1993): 58-65.
This article analyzes Michael Jackson’s image as an icon and his use of science fiction in
promoting himself as a performer. It poses questions about Jackson’s statements that we are
basically all alike in apparent contrast to his bodily transformation through technology, resulting
in an alien-like appearance. His videos and music display examples of science fiction, space
vehicles, and aliens, which may signify no permanent identification with this world. Important
points, revealed in the interview with Oprah, show the contradictions of Jackson’s statements of
admiration for children and making the world a loving place, especially for children, with his
suggestive adult gestures in his performances. Jackson’s efforts to convince children to follow
his messianic lead have many implications, including capital gain.

10. Kalof, Linda. “Dilemmas of Femininity: Gender and the Social Construction of Sexual
Imagery.” Sociological Quarterly 34.4 (1993):639-651.
This article describes a study conducted by the author in which participants (ages 13-22) view
Michael Jackson’s The Way You Make Me Feel music video. They respond to three open-ended
questions concerning how they perceive the female and male characters in the video. After
participants complete the written portion of the questionnaire, they share opinions in group
discussions. Results of the study indicate a wide range of different perceptions about the
female’s sexuality as opposed to no difference about the male’s. The research shows that
participants make judgments based on their gender and life experiences. Conclusions of the study
show the historical view of females as sexual objects to be manipulated is still prevalent.
King, Jason. “Form and Function: Super Stardom and Aesthetics in the Music Videos of Michael
and Janet Jackson.” Velvet Light Trap 44 (Fall 1999): 80-96.
King explores the function that expensive and elaborate music videos play for re-emerging black
artists, Michael and Janet Jackson. The videos’ intent is to renew public acceptance of the
Jacksons as superstars. King also illustrates that the videos were designed to establish the artists’
black identity and culture. Detailed analysis of the music video Scream, the only video in which
Michael and Janet Jackson perform together, shows multiple scenes depicting racial and social
status. The use of mobilization in the video, leaving earth on a spacecraft, may signify Michael’s
fears of alienation and an attempt to free himself from the world.
Landman, James H. “Balancing Act: First and Sixth Amendment Rights in High Profile Cases.”
Social Education. 69.4 (May/June 2005): 182-188.
The right to a fair and impartial trial and freedom of speech are things we take for granted in a
free society. But high-profile cases with sensationalist media coverage and “docudramas”
presented for the masses about a trial like Michael Jackson’s can create a public frenzy and other
problems. The jurors in the Jackson case were not always given the privacy accorded to low-
profile cases; for example, E-Online had a “Meet the Jurors” section. Gag orders in the Jackson
case are also discussed, as is Jay Leno’s involvement as a witness in the case. The court called
Leno’s jokes about the case into question. Leno was allowed to tell jokes as long as they had
nothing to do with what he witnessed in the court. Although MJ is only a part of the article, this
well-written piece provides an interesting insight into the law and the American judicial system.

11. Lynch, Christopher. “Ritual Transformation through Michael Jackson’s Music Video.” Journal
of Communication Inquiry 25.2 (April 2001): 114-131.
In this detailed article, Lynch analyzes Michael Jackson’s music video Dangerous to determine
clues to the meanings embedded in the video’s text, music, dance, visual presentation, and
narration. Jackson’s videos repeatedly reach out to the audience with themes centered on the
innocence of children, societal problems, reality or imagination, personal transformation,
strength or weakness, and his self-proclaimed call to lead the world to perfect harmony.
Martinec, Radan. “Construction of Identity in Michael Jackson’s Jam.” Social Semiotics 10.3
(Dec. 2000):313-329.
In this article, Martinec analyzes Michael Jackson’s music video, Jam, to determine the
development of movements (phases) throughout the video. Movements are tracked using a
group of three snapshots of similar movements. Evaluation of four basic themes, and how they
develop the participants’ identity (foregrounding), are identified. The article includes diagrams
and a table.

Selection: The Importance of Athlete Celebrity Others among New Zealand Youth.”
International Review for the Sociology of Sport. 37.3/4 (2002): 429–448.
Although there is very little MJ content beyond a few mentions, this article is of interest to
scholars studying the icon’s cultural influence. The authors found that athletes (and others) tend
to identify with popular performers (including Jackson) and their influence goes beyond
appreciation and can influence viewpoint and way of life.
Mercer, Kobena. “Monster Metaphors: Notes on Michael Jackson’s Thriller.” Screen. 27
(January/February 1986): 26-43.
Michael Jackson’s Thriller video was produced not as a means for selling the album, but as a
celebration of it. John Landis’ direction combines his previous work as a horror/comedy director
with a kind of narrative structure that many music videos don’t have. Much is made of Jackson’s
comment in the video that he is “not like other guys,” as it pertains to his androgynous image.
The video for Thriller is analyzed in detail (shot by shot in some cases) and much is made of
Jackson’s triple role of man, werewolf, and zombie within the video. The video is almost a
spoof of the 1950s B-rated horror movies rather than the serious monster films of Hammer and
Universal studios. In the video, Jackson is seen as having the same kind of “camp” that previous
performers like Little Richard and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins had.

12. Mittell, Jason. “A Cultural Approach to Television Genre Theory.” Cinema Journal 40.3
(2001): 3-24.
In this detailed article, Mittell argues the importance of analyzing television genres using a
cultural approach. He says that traditional approaches to analyzing genres are maundering,
determined by the television audiences, the television industry itself, and contemporary culture.
He presents a case study in which three music videos by Michael Jackson, Billy Jean, Beat It,
and Thriller, are analyzed. The author includes conclusions that may be generated by currently
accepted genre approaches and the questions these approaches may not cover. The analysis of
the case study focuses on the effects of the television industry, specifically MTV’s limited view
on race and rock. He concludes with five basic principles.
Pye, Cory C. “Chemistry and Song: A Novel Way to Educate and Entertain.” Journal of
Chemical Education. 81.4 (April 2004): 507-508.
This article is the weirdest Michael Jackson related piece we found in the academic literature.
The author, a professor of chemistry, argues that using modern songs and reframing them in
terms of teaching chemistry is an effective way of getting students to understand difficult
concepts. “Billie Jean” was used as a way to teach about Nitrobenzene. The melody was used
with the lyrics changed to chemistry language and the author dressed up as Jackson (including
trying to do some of his moves). The students responded very positively to this method of
teaching.
Reber, Bryan, Karla K. Gower, and Jennifer A. Robinson. “The Internet and Litigation Public
Relations.” Journal of Public Relations Research. 18.1 (2006): 23-44.
The authors look at the official websites of three high-profile celebrities, Michael Jackson,
Martha Stewart, and Richard Srushy, involved in high profile litigation. They analyze the content
on MJ’s website and press releases related to his child molestation case. In 2003 he launched
mjnews.us as the official press room to tell his version of the story. He fired his press agent,
hired a new one, and launched mjjsource.com in early 2004. The original website did contain
letters and comments from Jackson, but after his firing of his press agent no new content was
added. With his new website mjjsource.com, other material not related to the litigation such as
biographical material, photos, and information about his music, was added—as well as official
statements related to the litigation. It was updated frequently and presented a much more
rounded presentation of the performer. The authors do a great deal of scrutiny of all the
websites, including numerous charts and mathematical equations.

126-127.
The captain of the Los Angeles Fire Department Office of Public Information writes about the
lessons learned from the Michael Jackson 911 call when he stopped moving/breathing. The
author describes the fire department’s response to the call and gives practical advice on how to
deal with media requests, while also taking Jackson’s privacy into account. Those who are
celebrities deserve care just as much those who are ordinary folks. Dealing with paparazzi and
media needs to be taken into account because it is important to maintain the integrity of the
response agency.
Safaer, Joshua. “The Crystal Ball.” Performance Research 9.2 (June 2004): 118-131.
An experimental theatre, The Crystal Ball, enlisted notable experts to predict the future of some
audience members with regard to their finances, health, and aging. The author centers on aging
and the relation to Michael Jackson’s lifelong desire to look and live like J.M. Barrie’s literary
character, “Peter Pan.” The author provides details of Jackson’s interview with Martin Bashir,
which aired in February 2003. In the interview, Jackson talks about his childhood experiences,
particularly his longing to play with other children rather than having to work. Safaer also
discusses other indications of Jackson’s infatuation with Peter Pan, including the creation of
“Neverland” as his home, his self-transformation through cosmetic surgery, and his desire to
never become an adult.
Silberman, Seth Clark. “Presenting Michael Jackson.” Social Semiotics 17.4 (December 2007):
417-440.
In this detailed article, Silberman discusses the manipulation of Michael Jackson’s appearances
portrayed in his child molestation trial and his Black or White music video. Emphasis is placed
on Jackson’s attempt to draw public attention and sympathy, even appearing one hour late in
pajamas to his trial. A number of sources cited hold the common belief that Jackson is extremely
strategic and brilliant in how he keeps re-inventing himself and rejuvenating his popularity. The
author points out contradictions of his appearance in his trial: weak, vulnerable, and in constant
pain, with his appearance in his Black or White music video: strong, independent, and exhibiting
anger and male sexuality.

The case of Michael Jackson’s death brings into question medical ethics where the patient is
more powerful than the attending physician. It is important for doctors to be cognizant of what
they are doing, especially when one’s patient is as high profile as Jackson. What is in the
patient’s best interest?
Stever, Gayle S. “The Celebrity Appeal Questionnaire.” Psychological Reports 68.3 Pt.1 (June
1991): 859-866.
This article details a study using “The Celebrity Questionnaire” (859) developed to determine
fans’ attraction to celebrities. The researcher created the questionnaire with an initial survey of
73 college students registered in a humanities course, followed by further editing of the
questionnaire with a group of high school students. Four categories that include 26 descriptive
terms were determined for the final questionnaire. A Likert scale was utilized. The final sample
consisted of two groups, 367 participants who attended five of Jackson’s concerts and 81 college
students in a humanities class. Results indicated that three of the four categories showed a strong
attraction to Jackson as a socially attractive entertainer and celebrity.
Theroux, Paul. “The Original Neverland: Inside Michael Jackson’s Private Kingdom.”
Architectural Digest. 66.11 (November 2009): 96-113, 163.
Theroux looks at the property that Michael Jackson bought in 1988. It was designed in 1982 by
architect Robert Altevers in the Santa Ynez Valley. Jackson renamed the property Neverland
after he bought it. Apparently, he kept the original interiors. This article is very photo heavy and
provides a nice understanding for scholars wanting to research Jackson’s lifestyle and living
arrangements.
Tribler, Willis R. “The Defense Philosophy.” IDC Quarterly 15.3 (July 2005): 1-2.
In this brief article, the author explores the procedure followed by the prosecution in the child
molestation trial of Michael Jackson. Additional charges of serving alcohol to a child and
kidnapping were included and may have affected the not guilty verdict. A list of recommended
readings is also provided for the reader.

15. Trussler, Simon. “Peter Pan and Susan: Lost Children from Juliet to Michael Jackson.” New
Theatre Quarterly 23.4 (November 2007): 380-386.
The author explores the relationship of major literary works including Romeo and Juliet by
Shakespeare and Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind with J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, all of
which deal with childhood innocence and acceptable adult/child relationships. It discusses
Michael Jackson’s infatuation with Peter Pan, evidenced by naming his ranch “Neverland,”
posing on the roof of his limousine as Peter Pan just after his arrest for child molestation, and the
possibility that Jackson’s facial surgery was intended to resemble Disney’s Peter Pan character.
Wallace, Michele. “Michael Jackson, Black Modernisms and ‘the Ecstasy of Communication.’”
Third Text. 3.7 (Summer 1989): 11-12
Wallace looks at various Michael Jackson videos and sees them as a positive way African-
Americans are making inroads at helping dissolve racisms. MJ has achieved something on par
with Elvis and the Beatles and unknown to black artists before. Wallace gives a post-modernist
reading of Jackson as a video artist and calls his performances “Black Modernisms” (13).
Jackson’s innocuous sexuality and his personal life are less important to understanding the good
he has done artistically. The author counterattacks the New York Times’ Jon Pareles’ negative
review of the video Man in the Mirror, regarding it as groundbreaking in its own right. Jackson’s
performance on the Grammy Awards was also an important milestone. The video Bad is
analyzed in detail for its contextualization of race and poverty, as well as its view of male
sexuality. The author concludes that Jackson’s “cultural discourse” and “energy to engage” an
audience are “good” things (22).
Wasserstrom, Jeffery N. “Michael Jackson, Mickey Mouse and the man-who-faced-the tanks.”
Index on Censorship. 28.5 (September-October 1999): 84-85.
This brief piece discusses the “stardom” of the nameless man who stood in front of tanks during
the Tiananmen Square Massacre on June 5, 1989. He immediately became the poster boy for t-
shirts, speeches, and documentaries. Michael Jackson used his image/video footage on tour while
performing “Earth Song” with MJ trying to stop the tanks in front of the screens.
