There is a striking contrast between America and her character

I've had this idea in the back of my head for a long while now, and after yet another pick asking whether или not Betty should get a make over and be pretty, I decided to finally address my frustrations with this idea in soapbox form.

Regardless of what's been done in shows like link, upon which our Ugly Betty is based, I think the Показать will jump the акула if/when Betty gets a makeover and is suddenly beautiful and fashionable. Why? Well, I'll tell you.

First of all, this idea initially popped into my head when I was watching Beauty and the Beast with my roommate and she commented, "You know,...

10 Reasons Why Ugly Betty Shouldn't Be Cancelled

posted by waichingliu81

Here are (my) 10 reasons why Ugly Betty shouldn't be and may I add also, doesn't deserve to be cancelled in no particular order:

1) It is one of the few shows which has a worldwide Фан base as big as it has already- from the US to the likes of Australia, UK, South Africa, China to name Ugly Betty's appeal is massive.

2) Despite falling ratings for season 3, and criticisms from some ex- Ugly Betty fans, most notably from the Benry and Getty quarters, it is actually a definite improvement over season 2, of which I didn't have much hope for, the longer it went on.

3)It is the only Показать I tune into...

Flawless Skin of Ugly People

posted by datelineJANTJE

Эй, all. I have a great book -- definitely in the “Ugly Betty” mode -- to recommend. It’s called “The Flawless Skin of Ugly People” (by a guy named Doug Crandell) and it’s fabulous. It’s about the relationship between a misfit of a guy with really bad acne and his extremely overweight girlfriend. Think Jenny Craig ad crossed with ProActiv infomercial, and you’ll get the idea. The best thing, though, is that this is a real Любовь story, really romantic. And a really comforting read for anybody (like me) tired of all the perfect Герои and heroines in these kind of books. It’s out this week (and in paperback, which is good), and definitely worth buying.

Semiotics- Denotation and Connotation in Ugly Betty

posted by waichingliu81

We read Обои and pictures in an attempt to decode them and make sense of what they mean to us.

Semiotics is the study of signs but also of anything which stands for 'something else'. Signs can be anything: sounds, pictures, words, objects, hand gestures for example. Semiotics, which is also known as 'semiology' has been recognised and regarded as one of the main theoretical areas within media and cultural studies. I think this is because that we realise that there is еще than one way of Чтение a TV show, film, photo, poster. It is one thing describing what it looks like, but it is also another...

themes of culture and identity explored in ugly betty

posted by waichingliu81

As a Телевидение show, Ugly Betty has been a worldwide success. From its original columbian telenovela: 'Betty Le Fea', the Показать has spanned various international versions of this comedy. The most well known incarnation that is televised in the Western world is the US's Ugly Betty.

But what attracts viewers and Фаны especially to Ugly Betty per se isn't just the humour and the drama aspects of this series but the characters, storylines and situations.

These characters, storylines, situations all deal with and explore themes and concepts relating to culture and identity.

From Marc's sexuality...

First Episode of Ugly Betty

posted by MARRR-

Yesterday was the first episode of Ugly Betty here in Holland ( the Netherlands). I watched it and I've got to say that it is really cool. It does seem like another dutch Показать what is also about a ugly girl (named Lotte) in a fashion company, but I think Ugly Betty is gonna be way better than that.
And America Ferrera is a great actresse so it is gonna be great !

So about America Ferrera it is good. But the serie does seem a little bit fake. Like it wouldn't happen in the real world, Ты know. Maybe I am wrong but that is just what I thaught about it. There were parts were it wasn't like that, but a lot were it was. It may changes during the season, I hope actually.

'You've Got The Look!' Representation and Gender in Ugly Betty

posted by waichingliu81

The term 'representation' is one of the many key areas in Media and Cultural studies in relation to the concept of identity and how it is formed.

Representation refers to the way people, places etc are portrayed, especially in context of the media and how they are viewed by the audience, which is us. Because they are representations, this means therefore that characters and people on TV and film are branded, shaped, dressed and shown as they are on screen by the producers. In studying these representations, we are decoding them and then drawing on a range of meanings- be it fictional или real;...

Marc And Amanda Are Generation Y's very own 'Jack and Karen'

posted by waichingliu81

For those of Ты wondering which Jack and Karen I am talking about, I am referring to none other than the catty and humourous offerings of Will and Grace's very own bitchy and campy duo in gay man, Jack- and the sarchastic overtones of Karen- both played by Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally.

Ugly Betty's answer to Jack and Karen come in the form of the flamboyant Marc St James- Wilhelmina's sidekick and Mode receptionist, Amanda Tanen. Their antics have entertained audiences in their seats and garnered a massive fanbase throughout the world.

The main difference separating the pair is the age differences...

Texts are created for mass consumption by the producers, but the text and its ideas and storylines are disemminated, perceived and interpreted differently by us- the audience или be it consumers. This leads us onto Stuart hall's encoding/decoding model.

For Hall, the encoding/decoding model is a concept he originally devised where he explains that through the transmission of ideas and messages in the texts, Hall proposed three ways of Чтение and decoding texts: dominant, negotiated and oppositional. The dominant reading is where the viewer takes away that meaning from the TV Показать and accept...
