Watch the episode from saved by the bell 1990 tv show


• Watch the show "Running Zach" (S2E13) of the 1990s E/I Saturday morning “classic” Saved By the Bell. Write an analysis of the show(s) according to concepts developed by this week's readings. The focus should be on the ways in which the shows are examples of colonized or decolonized viewing. • If you so choose, you may bring in other representations of indigenous people - TV only - as another comparative case. Be thorough, connect to important concepts, and make sure to polish the final product (spellcheck/proofread/etc.) “Sitcom narratives’ deeply rooted stereotypical and misinforming representations of ‘Indians’ act as daily and nightly televisual reminders of racism, power, and colonization. Over time, these representations contribute to a mainstream televisual landscape that encourages audiences to engage in colonized viewing: Such viewers simply watch the programming, do not question what is said or not said, do not situate the representations of redface within their larger historical and social contexts, and do not try to interpret or formulate a way of reading the televisual content that can move them toward decolonizing their minds decolonization as ‘the intelligent calculated, and active resistance to the forces of colonialism that perpetuate the subjugation and/or exploitation of our minds, bodies, and lands.’ Located within this larger project, decolonized viewing is a critical approach of resistance to subjugating and dehumanizing content found on American television’s channels of colonialism. In line with poststructuralist thought, it also is a process of respectful intervention into audiences’ rational sense-making practices of television” (Tahmahkera:327, emphasis added). Decolonization/Decolonized Viewing “Unlike these colonizing approaches to television comedy that often dismiss sitcoms and other comedic programming as escapist fantasy and mindless drivel, decolonized viewing holds critics responsible for their ignorance as well as imagemakers accountable for their (mis)perceptions and (mis)representations of Native Peoples” (Tahmahkera:327, emphasis added).
