opinions photography leave a comment bringing death out of the closet posted on april 6 2014 by april ranson when i first began watching hbo s six feet under the timing could not have been more profound my grandmother had just died and upon returning interstate from her funeral i was informed via facebook that a classmate of mine had just passed away two funerals within two weeks that is a little bit too close for comfort even for those who are relatively comfortable with their own mortality although i was prepared for the passing of my beloved nan i was caught off guard by the unexpected death of a peer who was so young and as i thought still had his whole life ahead of him from the very first episode alan ball managed to captivate my intrigue by drawing back the curtain on the taboo subject of grief funerals and death the show managed to provide me with a source of comfort at a time when i was feeling a little overwhelmed by life itself i hear you ask but how is a show about a dysfunctional family who run a funeral home an example of a mediated public sphere my answer to that lies within the documentary life and loss the impact of six feet under mckee describes the public sphere as a metaphor used to explain how individuals come together to exchange opinions feelings and information about what is important to them in a liberal society i would like to propose that ball acts as the mediator in this example by producing storylines that explore controversial themes such as homosexuality religion incest and mortality life and loss explored the impact that six feet under had particularly amongst the embalming and funeral director community prior to the shows premier when daniel biggins would discuss his occupation as a funeral director he was often met with a disturbed expression however once six feet under premiered he was bombarded with hundreds of questions about his job including have you watched the show the show was praised by the funeral industry for accurately depicting the diversity of death rituals ranging from buddhist monks through to the funeral of a murderer as a direct result of the show there was an increase in organ donation and prearranged funerals a clear indication that the show encouraged people to think about death each episode would begin with a death sometimes they were peaceful and other times they were sensationalised one poignant example was the death of a baby to sids the scene was depicted through the child s perspective and was sensitively delivered ball fought hard to include this storyline as he felt that it was a reality of the industry and therefore needed to be covered not just glossed over as actress lauren ambrose explained i don t believe audiences need to be sheltered from dark subject matter the show was not made to be shocking but rather to simply illustrate one of the two certainties of life death and taxes references antymon51 2010 life and loss the impact of six feet

ludlam from the guardian oh the bias has said that a diverse media ecosystem is the backbone to any democracy including australia he argues that regardless of your own political beliefs we should all be fighting for the diversification of media ownership and to an extent i certainly agree the usual argument put forth is that when there is a dominance of media ownership by a few big guns murdoch packer and fairfax the under saturation of australia s media market will lead to abuses of power as well as conflicting interests a lack of diversity in content analysis and opinion this all seems common sense on first consideration however when i begin to really think about the question why does it matter who controls the media i feel a little underwhelmed by my own personal conclusions it is certainly true that currently if you turn on your tv you are guaranteed to be watching a channel produced by one of six companies the fate of newspapers is even grimmer with only four major players so why does this matter media not only informs but also holds the power to shape the publics perceptions we are all familiar with hitler s nazi germany and stalin s ussr as extreme examples of what abuse occurs when the public are manipulated by one dominant media source let s not all run away crying in despair just yet i would like to think that most australians are intelligent enough to navigate the contemporary media landscape by ascertaining if a story has a particular agenda never is a story going to be 100 objective or free from bias to think that way is both naïve and idealistic journalists have their own ideologies that inevitably contribute to how they interact with a particular issue or story i suppose why people are panicking is that they are afraid that if there is only a few opinions being thrown around by the media they will be left in the dark about alternative ideas however i really don t believe that to be the case perhaps i have too much faith in the general population of australia currently we are in a time of dramatic change in how we communicate with one another with social media taking centre stage although much of how we receive our news online is via the mega media companies we are provided a platform via blogs twitter and facebook to discuss our own opinions about current affairs amongst our peers i feel it needs to be said that virtually all

comments the women in the child a controversial image posted on march 23 2014 by april ranson this is brooke shields aged just ten years old the photograph was taken by fashion photographer gary gross a more then appropriate name in my opinion who specialised in dog portraiture it was taken in 1975 and was to be part of his project called the women in the child these photographs were taken with the permission of brookes mother teri and first appeared in the publication little women and eventually in the playboy press publication sugar and spice now let me preface by saying that i have made the conscious decision to only use a cropped image of her face as i believe the images that make up the collection are nothing short of child pornography therefore i am only going to analyse this controversial text in regards to the cropped image i have selected gross explained the idea behind this image as being an exploration of the femininity in prepubescent girls compared to adult women the image clearly denotes an attractive and made up prepubescent girl who is leaning against a white wall staring intently down the lens of the camera however when we then move to what the image connotes the image becomes far more complicated brooke has had her hair and make up styled to not only make her look like a woman but a women who has a strong hold on her sexuality she has been covered in body oil and is completely naked except for a choker necklace which i believe connotes that she is just like the dogs gross usually photographs although she is leaning up against the wall for support she has been positioned in a way to signify her sex appeal we then move on towards what her gaze connotes although she is only a child she looks towards the camera with an explicitly vulnerable come hither stare with her lips pressed into a seductive pout it is true that people will interpret media messages in different ways based on their own ideologies however i must admit that in regards to this complex image i have a hard time believing that most people would read this message as anything other than grossly inappropriate i don t believe the artist gross has managed to achieve his objective of exploring the femininity in prepubescent girls in fact i believe he has done the exact opposite what makes young girls beautiful is their youth yet in this image he has tarnished that by making them up to look like mature women in a way it is rather ironic further reading brooke shields nude photo causes controversy marie claire brooke shields on coming to terms with

april ranson as soon as i heard the name jamie bulger my attention was caught you see i have been studying criminal law for the past year and i find the correlation made between the media and childhood violence truly fascinating in this particular instance the perpetrators were not adolescents rather two boys aged just ten years old jamie was led away from a shopping centre to be tortured and sexually assaulted he was then murdered the boys then proceed to position his body on the train tracks to make it look as though they had not been involved although ultimately unsuccessful as they were caught it does raise some questions such as how they came up with the idea and more importantly why when i first heard about this case i immediately wondered what those two boys had been exposed to after all they were only ten years old it was later revealed unsurprisingly that both boys had come from families that were dysfunctional and decorated with the usual attributes of poverty neglect and other forms of abuse the judge in his ruling made the rather weak connection between their exposure to violent video games and the manner in which they had carried out their crime this raises the question does the media play a role in shaping childhood perceptions and interpretations of violence the media effects model would argue yes and so would i but only to an extent i wish to make it clear from the outset that i am not suggesting the media is to be blamed for the criminal actions of children however it is my belief that exposure to violence in childhood via the media is a contributing factor david gauntlett argues against the media effects model by stating that children are more than capable of distinguishing between reality and sensationalised violence and i certainly agree that most have the skill set to do so however there are children who are in abusive environments and may not have the ability to distinguish fiction from their reality by watching violence for entertainment purposes on a regular basis the media is inadvertently reinforcing these kids distorted understanding of behaviour and people which has been shaped by their own environment and life experiences do i believe it is justified that the media has been blamed for this no i do not i believe it is the parent s responsibility to censor what their children are exposed to once published it is virtually out of the hands of the media if you want more information about the relationship between children violence and the media violence in the media american psychological association the impact of media violence on children and adolescents aacap violence in the media effects on children bre ibanes evans note i wish to make it clear that i actuall...
