No / This chapter presents key findings from a year long study where two `friends of care home¿ groups were established, monitored and evaluated. The authors are both qualified social workers and one has worked as an inspector of care homes whilst the other has worked as a nurse in both residential and nursing homes. Working as researchers we wanted to draw upon our experiences and understanding of care homes to develop and provide a practical contribution that could be used to raise standards in care homes. Although the notion of setting up `friends of care home¿ groups is not new, the lessons learnt from setting up such groups have not been shared through research.

Den här studien undersöker den aktuella genusdiskursen i den populära sitcom-serien Friends. För att analysera serien har säsong fem valts ut som material, och för att komma längre in på djupet på serien används en kvalitativ innehållsanalys i form av en diskursanalys. Empirin samlades in genom att titta igenom säsongen ett antal gånger, först för att identifiera återkommande teman från vilka många stereotypa skämt utgår i serien, och sedan ytterligare en gång för att hitta nyckelscener att stärka argumenten med. Samtliga teman beskrivs, exemplifieras och diskuteras sedan utifrån tidigare forskning inom genus, representation och social makt för att skapa en vetenskaplig analys. Det teoretiska ramverket inkluderar framför allt teoretiker som Simone de Beauvoir och hennes feministiska syn på att könet är socialt och inte biologiskt, samt Stuart Halls teorier om att stereotyper uppstår genom hur vi representerar olika typer av människor i bland annat massmedier. De teman som identifierades var (1) att kvinnor är dominanta i förhållanden, (2) att män är dåliga på förhållanden, (3) att kvinnor är utseendefixerade, (4) att män är sexfixerade, (5) att män är oromantiska och (6) att kvinnor är lättsårade.

While the feature film has been the flagship of the Australian film revival and the short film has always played an important role in practitioner development; the role and effectiveness of the short feature is less clear. The short feature has emerged intermittently since the late 1980s and has been vulnerable to the conditions of the Australian film industry in general. Government renewed its support for the short feature in the 1990s viewing it as a development model for writers, directors and producers making the transition from short form drama to feature length production. While there is no doubt that the short feature model provides invaluable 'experience through practice' for writers, directors and producers, a lack of market demand, its continued dependence on government funding and the mixed development outcomes of those it supports suggests that the future of the short feature remains unclear. This thesis also includes School Friends, a 50-minute screenplay designed specifically to suit the parameters of short feature production. It is a redemption story about a man who attempts to get his life back on track after being released from prison.
