  • 1 Is Disappointment Inevitable When Dealing with a Work Repeatedly
    1 Is disappointment inevitable when dealing with a work repeatedly described as the greatest film of all time; a filmmaker—Orson Welles—about whom Herman J. Mankiewicz, one of Citizen Kane’s screenwriters, said “There but for the grace of God goes God”; and a cultural experience that the Provost’s office has made mandatory?! If you struggle to know how to speak fluently in the face of this cultural milestone, be assured that you are not alone: The Sopranos, Season 5, “Rat Pack” 29.28-31:59 (Video). Orson Welles, who was born in 1915 and died in 1985, had a gigantic personality, gigantic ambitions, gigantic influence, and more ideas and projects than he could wrestle to completion in a single lifetime. Though we too could regurgitate what Leonard Maltin or Wikipedia says about Citizen Kane, such an approach leaves us dependent on the experiences and ideas of others. And for me at least, the whole point of higher education is to learn to think for yourself about the things that matter in the world that you inhabit and co-create. There can be no doubt that today, if anything matters, media do. Indeed, our political agency and freedom depend in part upon our ability to understand how media- generated sounds and images operate on and in our lives. As participants in a democracy, we are obliged to be able to ask informed questions about the authorship, interpretation and data-source 2 of media transmissions, especially when they are used to justify life-changing or life-taking actions. Orson Welles struggled for aesthetic, financial, and political freedom within his media landscape, and he was often punished for this.

  • Frank's World
    Chris Rojek / Frank Sinatra Final Proof 9.7.2004 10:22pm page 7 one FRANK’S WORLD Frank Sinatra was a World War One baby, born in 1915.1 He became a popular music phenomenon during the Second World War. By his own account, audiences adopted and idol- ized him then not merely as an innovative and accomplished vocalist – his first popular sobriquet was ‘‘the Voice’’ – but also as an appealing symbolic surrogate for American troops fighting abroad. In the late 1940s his career suffered a precipitous de- cline. There were four reasons for this. First, the public perception of Sinatra as a family man devoted to his wife, Nancy, and their children, Nancy, Frank Jr and Tina, was tarnished by his high-octane affair with the film star Ava Gardner. The public face of callow charm and steadfast moral virtue that Sinatra and his publicist George Evans concocted during his elevation to celebrity was damaged by his admitted adultery. Sinatra’s reputation for possessing a violent temper – he punched the gossip columnist Lee Mortimer at Ciro’s night- club2 and took to throwing tantrums and hurling abuse at other reporters when the line of questioning took a turn he disap- proved of – became a public issue at this time. Second, servicemen were understandably resentful of Sina- tra’s celebrity status. They regarded it as having been easily achieved while they fought, and their comrades died, overseas. Some members of the media stirred the pot by insinuating that Sinatra pulled strings to avoid the draft. During the war, like most entertainers, Sinatra made a virtue of his patriotism in his stage act and music/film output.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.
