Dear opa, I hope to make you proud. Acknowledgements I owe deep gratitude to my supervisor, prof. dr. Gert Buelens, for his ever-valuable advice, his patience with my plentiful questions and all the time he has taken out to support me throughout the writing of this thesis. Thank you for sharing my enthusiasm about my topic — it inspired me to keep going in difficult times. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude to my cousin Tine, who has been my role model for as long as I remember, for sharing her own experiences with me. Thank you for your encouragement and help throughout the process of this thesis. I would also like to extend my thanks to my closest friends Marie, Lilli, and Aulikki, who support me always and bring joy to my life. Finally, I could not have achieved this without the support of my family. Many thanks to my father, who without any protest underwent my many lively monologues about my thesis and often chipped in to offer his own experiences of the 1960s and 1970s. Many thanks to my mother, who encouraged me in moments of self-doubt and stimulated my interest in Louis Theroux in the first place. And to my brother Milan, who despite my faults has always been a person on whom I could count. Thank you for supporting me during the writing process of this thesis and throughout all the years that came before. I am profoundly grateful.

Objectivity, the concept standing in between the two sides, has been both praised and condemned. Those representing serious journalism have eagerly been trying to restore the prestige of their centerpiece: the objective truth. However, amidst all this boosting of the concept of objectivity, the public has forgotten that objectivity is not a prerequisite for the production of valuable journalism. Little to no attention is being given to the work of a few individuals who did not adhere to the paradigm of objectivity, yet did not present less worthwhile accounts of reality because of it. The 1960s were turbulent times in the west. Despite a promising start, the conservatism of American society in the 1950s quickly dissolved into a time of chaos. War, political assassinations, and polarization ravaged the decade. The Civil Rights Movement exposed the American people to the injustices committed under their flag, which until now had represented the culmination of morality and justness. Worldviews collapsed, and the youth started rebelling. Amidst of this turning point in history, a handful of feature writers and reporters started questioning traditional journalism’s ability to document the times with the techniques it had at its disposal. How could one document changes that were so profound for everyone living through them by only stating the who, what, where, how and why? As a response to this perceived inadequacy, these feature writers started to tell the story of the times through reports utilizing literary devices and an involved approach to their subjects. In 1973, Tom Wolfe categorized them all under the same denominator: The New Journalism. Journalism deviating of the norm of objectivity is often linked to periods of sociocultural unrest, and while the 1970s took over some of the spirit of its preceding decade, the flame of non-conforming journalism slowly faded out until traditional journalism gained ground again. The New Journalism, while having been popular for around two decades, failed in modifying the field of journalism permanently. However, in the mid-1990s the cult of the hands-on, subjective journalist regained popularity. The BBC brought a reporter with a unique on-screen persona and a hands-on approach in the public eye again. Due to his unique !9 reporting style, documentary maker Louis Theroux would build up a cult following over the years. Still active today, he has established an extensive repertoire of documentaries on widely different topics, ranging from the extreme to the emotionally heavy. His following likes to label him as a Gonzo Journalist, but is he, really? Gonzo Journalism, a term coined by its originator Hunter S. Thompson, is often grouped within the larger style of New Journalism. Whereas both styles share aspects and characteristics that are unique to the movement they are included in, there are also substantial differences between them. In this thesis, I will mirror the styles of New Journalism and Gonzo Journalism against Louis Theroux’s style. As Gonzo is often regarded to be a sub-style of the New Journalism, which often results in its figurehead Thompson being named a New Journalist as well. Drawing on this, the main aim of this thesis is to discern if Theroux is truthfully labeled a Gonzo Journalist, and secondly, if this also makes him qualify as a New Journalist. Concretely, I approach this research question by bringing together the theoretical frameworks that Wolfe and Thompson have constructed on their respective styles, which will be structured around each characteristic that is deemed significant for the definition of both styles. This will allow me to observe, per separate characteristic, in how far Theroux conforms to these templates or not. Firstly, I will concern myself with the contextual characteristics, namely temporal context, geographic context, and motivations, to situate the journalists in their respective timeframes and to analyze if these contextual roots are similar in nature. Then, I will identify the characteristics specific to their journalistic techniques, approach and methods, which I will use to determine how each journalist incorporates these into his work. The New Journalism was composed of reporters who were inspired by similar circumstances and responded to them in similar ways. This was, however, the only commonality between them — they were only grouped together posteriorly. Therefore, due to the style being internally diverse,

  • Fame Attack : the Inflation of Celebrity and Its Consequences
    Rojek, Chris. "The Icarus Complex." Fame Attack: The Inflation of Celebrity and Its Consequences. London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2012. 142–160. Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 1 Oct. 2021. <http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781849661386.ch-009>. Downloaded from Bloomsbury Collections, www.bloomsburycollections.com, 1 October 2021, 16:03 UTC. Copyright © Chris Rojek 2012. You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 9 The Icarus Complex he myth of Icarus is the most powerful Ancient Greek parable of hubris. In a bid to escape exile in Crete, Icarus uses wings made from wax and feathers made by his father, the Athenian master craftsman Daedalus. But the sin of hubris causes him to pay no heed to his father’s warnings. He fl ies too close to the sun, so burning his wings, and falls into the Tsea and drowns. The parable is often used to highlight the perils of pride and the reckless, impulsive behaviour that it fosters. The frontier nature of celebrity culture perpetuates and enlarges narcissistic characteristics in stars and stargazers. Impulsive behaviour and recklessness are commonplace. They fi gure prominently in the entertainment pages and gossip columns of newspapers and magazines, prompting commentators to conjecture about the contagious effects of celebrity culture upon personal health and the social fabric. Do celebrities sometimes get too big for their boots and get involved in social and political issues that are beyond their competence? Can one posit an Icarus complex in some types of celebrity behaviour? This chapter addresses these questions by examining celanthropy and its discontents (notably Madonna’s controversial adoption of two Malawi children); celebrity health advice (Tom Cruise and Scientology); and celebrity pranks (the Sachsgate phone calls involving Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross).

BBC doc-maker and journalist Louis Theroux teams up with director John Dower and double Academy Award winning producer Simon Chinn (Searching for Sugar, Man On Wire) to explore the self-mythologizing Church of Scientology. Following a long fascination with the religion and with much experience in dealing with eccentric, unpalatable and unexpected human behavior, the beguilingly unassuming Theroux won’t take no for an answer when his request to enter the Church’s headquarters is turned down. Inspired by the Church’s use of filming techniques, and aided by ex-members of the organization, Theroux uses actors to replay some incidents people claim they experienced as members in an attempt to better understand the way it operates. In a bizarre twist, it becomes clear that the Church is also making a film about Louis Theroux. Suffused with a good dose of humor and moments worthy of a Hollywood script, MY SCIENTOLOGY MOVIE is as outlandish as it is revealing.

  • Transcript a Pinewood Dialogue with Michael Moore
    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH MICHAEL MOORE Michael Moore is the most famous, controversial, and commercially successful documentary filmmaker working today. The notoriety surrounding his films has obscured the fact that he is a gifted director who uses a wide range of cinematic techniques to engage, entertain, and provoke his audience. Sicko , his widely acclaimed, no-holds barred attack on the American healthcare system, uses the issue of healthcare to explore larger questions about what kind of country America is. In this discussion presented by the Museum of the Moving Image in collaboration with Variety , Moore spoke passionately about the many questions raised by his film. A Pinewood Dialogue following a screening of this country and say to those on the other side of Sicko , moderated by Chief Curator David the political fence, “Look, aren’t there some issues Schwartz (June 28, 2007): where we can find some common ground and work together on this?

    The Art of Belonging: Whites Writing Landscape in Savannah Africa DAVID McDERMOTT HUGHES Department of Human Ecology, Rutgers University Presented to the Program in Agrarian Studies, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, 6 October 2006 “I had a farm in Africa …[where] the views were immensely wide. Everything that you saw made for greatness and freedom, and unequally nobility … you woke up in the morning and though: Here I am, where I ought to be.” Isak Dinesen, Out of Africa (1937:3-4). “I have sometimes thought since of the Elkingtons’ tea table – round, capacious, and white, standing with sturdy legs against the green vines of the garden, a thousand miles of Africa receding from its edge. It was a mark of sanity …” Beryl Markham, West with the Night (1942:60) “Their frontier became a heaven and the continent consumed them … And they can never write the landscapes out of their system.” Breyten Breytenbach, The Memory of Birds in Times of Revolution (1996:108) Imperial colonizers do not seize land with guns and plows alone. In order to keep it, especially after imperial dissolution, settlers must establish a credible sense of entitlement. They must propagate the conviction that they belong on the land they have just settled. At the very least – and this may be difficult enough – settlers must convince themselves of their fit with the landscape of settlement. In other words, all the while 1 excluding natives from power, from wealth, and from territory, overseas pioneers must find a way to include themselves in new lands. Two factors interfere with such public and private persuasion: pre-existing peoples and the land itself.

  • Why Documentaries Matter Recognised As an Innovative Cultural Form
    RISJ CHALLENGES CHALLENGES Documentaries have for many decades inhabited the schedules of public Why Documentaries Matter Why broadcasters. They have chronicled the lives and institutions of western democracies. In the past two decades, however, documentaries have become Why Documentaries Matter recognised as an innovative cultural form. Instead of being exclusively funded by television channels, documentaries receive money from a number of sources, including film funds, private investors and foundations. Rather than observing, documentaries are now thought capable of changing the world. Is this what they really do? How do we define a documentary? What does it mean to be the ‘author’ of a film? Nick Fraser has been editor of the BBC’s Storyville series since 1997; here he looks at the history of documentaries, showing how definitions of documentaries have changed – and how fragile is their funding. If we want good documentaries, he concludes, we have to find ways of encouraging their creators. “Nick Fraser writes about documentaries with unique authority. Not only has he made some good ’uns, he has commissioned more than practically anyone else on earth (for the BBC’s Storyville) and - as this book shows - he Nick Fraser has watched docs from their earliest days. His ideas on what the growth of the web and the decline of public service broadcasters mean for doc-makers are informed, imaginative and challenging.” Brian Lapping Chairman and Executive Producer, Brook Lapping “The rise of documentaries over the past two decades owes more to Nick Fraser than to any other single person. For so many of us who make non-fiction films, Nick’s peerless brand of tough love and mischievous curiosity have inspired us to aim higher as we try to promote greater understanding of the major events and issues of our time.” Eugene Jarecki Documentary film maker “This expert lament is beautifully written.
