1. The notorious RBG: The discursive power of celebrity in defense of the supreme court: An analysis of On the Basis of Sex, RBG, and My Own Words.

*SUPREME Court justices (U.S.), *POPULAR culture
Abstract

When speaking publicly outside the Court, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who garnered celebrity status due to her fiery dissents in the 2010s, did so to explain and defend the institution. Whereas celebrity is usually associated with personality cults, we argue that she used her podium to emphasize the importance of collegiality and process in the Supreme Court as an institution. By analyzing three cultural texts, the biopic On the Basis of Sex, the documentary RBG, and the autobiographical collection My Own Words, we show how Ginsburg brought popular culture and the Supreme Court into conversation with one another.

2. Vice, On the Basis of Sex, and the Liberal Imagination: Villainification and Heroification in Popular Political Film.

Author

Journell, Wayne

Subjects
*POLITICAL films, *POLITICAL psychology, *PARTISANSHIP
Abstract

Using tenets of political psychology, this article analyzes educational implications of contemporary Hollywood partisan political film through two critically acclaimed films released in 2018, Vice and On the Basis of Sex. I argue that these films appeal to confirmation bias and motivated reasoning through the use of villainification and heroification, respectively. Such tactics play on viewers' emotions and become pedagogically problematic when they mask systemic processes, thereby potentially limiting viewers' civic agency. Given that students' civic and political understandings are likely to be shaped by popular culture as much, if not more, than what they encounter within the confines of formal education, a greater understanding of the civic messages found in Hollywood film is needed.
