Abstract

The maury povich show is a television programmed that has been syndicated to networks since 1991, hosted by maury povich (IMDB). His most popular "theme" of his series is paternity tests for woman, or their man who is involved in a dispute surrounding the baby's father (Wikipedia). It is with this theme in mind that I will specifically discuss some of the images and representations of its black and ethnic guests, white guests, and the host (maury povich, Episode 57). Using ideas of cultural literacy, or looking at representations and images and seeing them as truth inside culture, these representations on the maury show will be expanded upon for greater meanings, implications, and intent. The Black, female, and white guests will be examined for differences in representation as well as for classical re-representations. Finally, the importance of the audience will be discussed followed by conclusions about these examinations.
