  • 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.

  • De-Mystification of an Asian Kung-Fu Hero
    Situations Vol. 3 (Winter 2009) © 2009 by Yonsei University Sung Gyung Jo1 [email protected] A Fistful of Yen: The De-mystification of an Asian Kung-Fu Hero The importance of parody, as Linda Hutcheon notes in A Theory of Parody, lies in the fact that it is “one of the major forms of modern self-reflexivity; it is a form of inter- art discourse” (Hutcheon 2). Remakes of old movies that embody the elements of parody are becoming more popular these days. According to Eberwein, “a remake is a kind of reading or rereading of the original” which “posit and depend on certain assumptions about audience reception” (15-6). Cinema is a relatively recent form of art and regularly incorporates parody within its own structures. A Fistful of Yen, which is a parodic remake of Enter the Dragon, is a notable instance. In Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee is a perfect “stuntman as hero” with authentic “virtuosity” (Hunt 23). The Hong Kong setting was exotic enough to attract large audiences not only in Asia but in the West. The problem, however, lies in Lee’s 1 Yonsei graduate student 79 perfect physique and the exotic setting itself. Throughout the film, the camera mostly captures the visual images of Asia and Lee’s impressive stunts. The most memorable fighting scene in this film is when Lee kills Oharra, the first bodyguard of Mr. Han, by jumping on the enemy while he is lying on a lawn. The camera captures Lee’s trademark facial expression in a close-up shot with slow motion to intensify the fierce movement of the hero.

Degree awarded December 2020 ii © 2020 Zachary Roman iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Zachary Roman Doctor of Philosophy School of Journalism and Communication December 2020 Title: Box Office Back Issues: Historicizing the Liminal Superhero Films, 1989–2008 Although the superhero film became a dominant force in Hollywood early in the 21st century, the formation of the superhero genre can be attributed to a relatively small temporal window beginning in 1989 and ending in 2008. This dissertation argues that a specific group of superhero films that I call the liminal superhero films (LSF) collectively served as the industrial body that organized and created a fully formed superhero genre. The LSF codified the superhero genre, but that was only possible due to several industrial elements at play before they arrived. An increasing industrial appetite for blockbusters coming out of the 1970s, the rise of proprietary intellectual property after the corporate conglomeration that occurred at the end of the 20th century, and finally, the ability of the LSF to mitigate risk (both real and perceived) all led to this cinematic confluence.
