Wong Master of Arts in the joint program of Communication and Culture Ryerson University and York University, 2019 Abstract This thesis investigates the appropriation of Black masculinity by Asian American basketball player Jeremy Lin. Subjecting media coverage to a combination of content analysis and critical discourse analysis uncovers the presence of four appropriative themes of Asianness: (a) the supraethnic viability of Asianness; (b) the necessary defeat of Blackness; (c) the disallowance of anti-Asian sentiment; and (d) the presence of a helpful Black cohort.

Contact: [email protected] Luke Kornet remembers watching the 2017 NBA Draft at his home. As names were called and picks were finalized on that June evening, he knew that he wouldn’t be drafted. Then he was called by his agent. Kornet’s agent, Jim Tanner, called him with many offers but none presented the same elements as the two-way contract that the Knicks offered him. As they mulled offers the two “went through all the possible options,” said Kornet, a former Vanderbilt standout who in 2017 set the NCAA record for three-pointers made by a 7-footer. “The two-way really seemed like a good option of staying in the states and making a solid income and also staying in front of a team and hopefully end up being called up in the year.” What is a Two-Way? After the NBA and its players’ union renewed the collective bargaining agreement in January 2017, in came lots of changes. The two sides agreed on a shortened preseason, new maximum contracts for veteran players and the introduction of two-way player contracts.

  • What Do Michael Jordan and Jeremy Lin Have in Common? Trademark Filing Tips - First to File and Chinese Equivalents
    March 20, 2012 What do Michael Jordan and Jeremy Lin Have in Common? Trademark Filing Tips - First to File and Chinese Equivalents By: Kam W. Li, Esq. 619.515.3253 | [email protected] Michael Jordan – One of the greatest athletes of all time; active entrepreneur. He is often credited as being instrumental in popularizing basketball and the NBA around the world. Jeremy Lin – “Linsanity” personified; newcomer star athlete. He stunned the sports audience with a winning streak and sparked a popularity fire storm across the sport of basketball. Both Michael Jordan and Jeremy Lin have their names registered as trademarks in China - but by others. In 2003, “Qiao Dan,” the Chinese phonetic translation of “Jordan,” was registered as a trademark in the Chinese Trademark Office by “Qiao Dan Sports Company Limited” a Chinese Company, http://www.qiaodan.com. Since 2000, “Qiao Dan” sporting goods and apparels were widely marketed and sold in China by this company. In 2009, the Chinese Trademark Office recognized “Qiao Dan” as a well known trademark. Neither Michael Jordan nor his enterprise has anything to do with “Qiao Dan” or the goods. Same theme as above - “Jeremy Lin” and “Lin Shu Hao,” Jeremy Lin’s Chinese birth name also appeared in two July, 2010 trademark applications filed by the WuXi Risheng Sporting Goods Co. Ltd., Jiangsi Province, China. Notably, the trademark applications were said to have cost the WuXi company about $700. (Coincidentally, WuXi Haoqiu Sporting Goods Co. Ltd. from the same neighborhood also filed a trademark application of the “Michael Jordan” name in 2011.) Currently, the “Jordan” and “Lin” names are being exploited in China without authorization from Michael Jordan or Jeremy Lin.

  • Managing Creativity in a Successful Company – Aardman Animations
    <CN>Chapter 14:</CN> <CT>‘It’s Our Property and Our Passion’: Managing Creativity in a Successful Company – Aardman Animations <AU>Andrew Spicer <NP>It has become a cultural and commercial necessity for media firms to promote themselves as dynamic and innovative ‘creative companies’ and therefore attractive to potential employees, associated companies or funders. Although the concept of creativity has been extensively discussed, as Philip Schlesinger argued a decade ago in his critique of the ‘doctrine’ of creativity, the central question for critical empirical research is ‘in what form ideas about creativity and innovation become organizationally embedded and to what extent they shape the actual management of creative practice […] how ideas about creativity are actually interpreted in the practice of production’ (2007: 387, original emphasis). A central problem, which Mark Banks argues ‘is the distinctive feature of cultural production’, is the tension between the rational, accumulative and standardising logic of capitalist production and the irrational, unruly, unpredictable and potentially disruptive demands of the creative worker who values her autonomy (2007: 30, original emphasis). Although creativity and commerce are often polarized, in modern media firms they are always ‘intermingled and interfused’ in an unstable and shifting interplay that evolves over time (Negus and Pickering 2004: 46–67). <TEXT>This chapter develops an extended analysis of the management of creative practice in one of the most successful UK film and television companies, Aardman Animations, which has evolved from a hand-to-mouth two-person operation in 1976 to a medium-sized firm with a £22.3 million turnover in 2014 and over 150 employees, a number that rises to more than 600 when two films are being produced simultaneously (Baker 2014).
