  • December 1, 2017 Filed Electronically Mr. Chris Seidl Secretary General
    December 1, 2017 Filed Electronically Mr. Chris Seidl Secretary General Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2 Dear Mr. Seidl: Re: Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2017-359: Call for comments on the Governor in Council’s request for a report on future programming distribution models The Writers Guild of Canada (WGC) is the national association representing approximately 2,200 professional screenwriters working in English-language film, television, radio, and digital media production in Canada. The WGC is actively involved in advocating for a strong and vibrant Canadian broadcasting system containing high-quality Canadian programming. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES.1 The single most significant trend in the production, distribution, and consumption of audiovisual content today is the growth of online, primarily global (typically U.S.-based) Internet-based content services, and the associated impacts, largely negative, on traditional broadcasting services in Canada and, in turn, on the public policy tools associated with them. In our view, this is the primary, driving force of change in the audiovisual content sector, and virtually everything else that matters is some facet of this larger trend. ES.2 The report, Canadian Media in a Digital Universe, produced by Nordicity for the “Digital Media at the Crossroads” conference of January, 2016, and co-sponsored by the WGC, noted the following trends: One of the most significant shifts in the film and television industry is that today, video content is being produced at record levels and increasingly through a multitude of online channels. In tandem with the increased availability of content, viewing habits are also changing, in particular shifting from appointment television—e.g., over-the-air (OTA), specialty and pay TV—to on-demand and online channels, as well as binge-watching and multi- tasking.

    Lunds universitet Viktor Svanström Språk- och Litteraturcentrum FIVK01 Filmvetenskap Handledare: Erik Hedling 2020-01-15 It’s a mad mad men’s world En analys av HBO-serien Mad Men utifrån ett genusperspektiv med fokus på maskulinitet Abstract: I uppsatsen genomförs en djupanalys av ett flertal avsnitt från den amerikanska tv-serien Mad Men utifrån huvudsakligen två teoretiska koncept gällande studiet av maskulinitet. Dessa inkluderar bland andra Joseph A. Vandello och Jennifer K. Bosson et als studier gällande en så kallad ”osäker maskulinitet” i den vetenskapliga artikeln Precarious Manhood. Teorin gällande hegemonisk maskulinitet kommer att användas som basis för min analys, där R.W. Connell och respektive verk som Masculinities och Hegemonic masculinity: Rethinking the Concept kommer att användas som mina primära källor gällande konceptet av hegemonisk maskulinitet och diskussionen därav. Detta i syfte för att komma underfund med hur maskulinitet porträtteras i Mad Men, dess möjliga konsekvenser och reflektera kring maskulinitet i förhållande till det västerländska samhället, mer precist USA och Sverige, och det nuvarande 2000-talet. Nyckelord: Mad Men, maskulinitet, manlighet, könsroller, psykisk ohälsa Abstract: This essay will delve into a deep analysis regarding multiple episodes of the American tv-series Mad Men primarily from the perspective of two theoretical concepts regarding the study of masculinity. These include, for example, studies regarding the concept of “precarious manhood” by Joseph A. Vandello and Jennifer K. Bosson et al in the scientific article Precarious Manhood. The concept regarding hegemonic masculinity will be used for the basis of my analysis as well, with R.W. Connell and respective works such as Masculinities and Hegemonic masculinity: Rethinking the Concept will serve as my primary sources regarding the concept of hegemonic masculinity and the discussion there of.

  • Paris Review - the Art of Screenwriting No
    Paris Review - The Art of Screenwriting No. 4, Matthew Weiner 5/28/14, 11:57 AM Matthew Weiner, The Art of Screenwriting No. 4 Born in 1965, Matthew Weiner is barely old enough to remember the period with which his television series Mad Men has now become almost synonymous. His office is exactly what one might hope for the creator of Don Draper: a stylish mixture of midcentury modern furniture, with a cabinet full of top-shelf liquor. But it turns out that the furniture came with the building, which was designed in 1955, and the liquor, mostly gifts, is wasted on Weiner, who hardly drinks at all. Weiner’s sensibility reveals itself on closer inspection. A framed still from the set is shot from behind the actors’ heads, showing the crew. There’s a black-and-white photograph of Groucho Marx, Alice Cooper, and Marvin Hamlisch in conversation. There’s a homemade Father’s Day card by one of Weiner’s four sons, reading “Dad Men” in red and black crayon. There’s a picture of Stedman (Oprah’s boyfriend), because when Vanity Fair photographed Weiner’s desk soon after Oprah’s, he asked what she’d had on hers. His bookshelf overflows with fiction, essays, and poetry—from Diaries of Old Manhattan to Billy Collins to Moby-Dick. A former Jeopardy! champion who once, rather than give notes, jumped up and danced to “Zou Bisou Bisou” for Jessica PareÌ​ (Megan Draper on the show), Weiner seems never to sleep. Our interview took place in four sessions that spanned almost eighteen months—real months, that is.
