| 17444. IMMIGRANTS ON PRIME-TIME TELEVISION SERIES. This paper provides an overview and analysis of the representation – or misrepresentation – of immigrants and immigrant groups on television series (focusing on prime-time TV). Drawing on Habermas’ concept of the public sphere, the analysis considers the broader meaning and implications of these representations. The central research questions under investigation include the following: Are the images presented of immigrants on television series really reflective of these immigrant groups in the United States or are they only serving to perpetuate xenophobia and ethnocentrism? Does media consolidation/conglomeration play a role in why these images are being portrayed this way. Have these images changed in the last fifty years? Are immigrants of a certain ethnic background shown more positively than others, and if so, why? The discussion cites examples from specific shows including The Goldbergs, I Remember Mama, Life with Luigi, Taxi, Chico and the Man, NYPD Blue, Kung Fu, Resurrection Boulevard, The George Lopez Show, The Shield, Deadwood, and The Sopranos. KEYWORDS: immigrants ethnic minorities TV media fictional characters. Written 2005. 19 pages, 41 footnotes, 24 bibliographic sources. 4,671 words. | $133 |
