Vituperation, disparagement, and debasement seem to have become part of the mainstream discourse in contemporary US-American media culture. Zooming in on a distinct televisual comedy genre, Katja Schulze explores the formal principles, media-specific realizations, and the cultural work of disparagement in contemporary female-led situation comedies.

Her study outlines case studies of popular sitcoms, like Parks and Recreation, Mike & Molly, and the revival of hit-sitcom Roseanne, thereby unearthing how the shows are able to stage humor as mass-mediated deprecation - a signifying practice with its own poetics and politics.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 33rd Symposium of the German Association for Pattern Recognition, DAGM 2011, held in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, in August/September 2011. The 20 revised full papers and 22 revised poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 98 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on object recognition, adverse vision conditions challenge, shape and matching, segmentation and early vision, robot vision, machine learning, and motion. The volume also includes the young researcher's forum, a section where a carefully jury-selected ensemble of young researchers present their Master thesis work.
On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to welcome you to Da- nd stadt and DAGM 2010,the 32 Annual Symposium of the German Association for Pattern Recognition. The technical program covered all aspects of pattern recognition and, to name only a few areas, ranged from 3D reconstruction, to object recognition and medical applications. The result is re?ected in these proceedings, which contain the papers presented at DAGM 2010. Our call for papers resulted in 134 submissions from institutions in 21 countries. Each paper underwent a rigorous reviewing process and was assigned to at least three program committee m- bers for review. The reviewing phase was followed by a discussion pha...
