  • Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) PAUL SPARKS
    Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) Riley Keough, 26, is one of Hollywood’s rising stars. At the age of 12, she appeared in her first campaign for Tommy Hilfiger and at the age of 15 she ignited a media firestorm when she walked the runway for Christian Dior. From a young age, Riley wanted to explore her talents within the film industry, and by the age of 19 she dedicated herself to developing her acting craft for the camera. In 2010, she made her big-screen debut as Marie Currie in The Runaways starring opposite Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. People took notice; shortly thereafter, she starred alongside Orlando Bloom in The Good Doctor, directed by Lance Daly. Riley’s memorable work in the film, which premiered at the Tribeca film festival in 2010, earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Milan International Film Festival in 2012. Riley’s talents landed her a title-lead as Jack in Bradley Rust Gray’s werewolf flick Jack and Diane. She also appeared alongside Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike, directed by Steven Soderbergh, which grossed nearly $167 million worldwide. Further in 2011, she completed work on director Nick Cassavetes’ film Yellow, starring alongside Sienna Miller, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liota, as well as the Xan Cassavetes film Kiss of the Damned. As her camera talent evolves alongside her creative growth, so do the roles she is meant to play. Recently, she was the lead in the highly-anticipated fourth installment of director George Miller’s cult- classic Mad Max - Mad Max: Fury Road alongside a distinguished cast comprising of Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz and Nick Hoult.

  • Individuality, Collectivity, and Samoan Artistic Responses to Cultural Change
    The I and the We: Individuality, Collectivity, and Samoan Artistic Responses to Cultural Change April K Henderson That the Samoan sense of self is relational, based on socio-spatial rela- tionships within larger collectives, is something of a truism—a statement of such obvious apparent truth that it is taken as a given. Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Taisi Efi, a former prime minister and current head of state of independent Sāmoa as well as an influential intellectual and essayist, has explained this Samoan relational identity: “I am not an individual; I am an integral part of the cosmos. I share divinity with my ancestors, the land, the seas and the skies. I am not an individual, because I share a ‘tofi’ (an inheritance) with my family, my village and my nation. I belong to my family and my family belongs to me. I belong to my village and my village belongs to me. I belong to my nation and my nation belongs to me. This is the essence of my sense of belonging” (Tui Atua 2003, 51). Elaborations of this relational self are consistent across the different political and geographical entities that Samoans currently inhabit. Par- ticipants in an Aotearoa/New Zealand–based project gathering Samoan perspectives on mental health similarly described “the Samoan self . as having meaning only in relationship with other people, not as an individ- ual. This self could not be separated from the ‘va’ or relational space that occurs between an individual and parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other extended family and community members” (Tamasese and others 2005, 303).

  • Kévin Bideaux, 2018. Millennial Pink: from Iphone to Rihanna. an Analysis of a Color Trend
    MILLENNIAL PINK: FROM IPHONE TO RIHANNA AN ANALYSIS OF A COLOR TREND Kévin Bideaux LEGS (UMR 8238), Université Paris 8 ; Centre Français de la Couleur, Paris ; [email protected] Publié dans : Veronica Marchiafava & Lia Lauzzato (dir.), 2018. Colour and Colorimetry. Multidisciplinary Contributions , XIV B, pp. 293-302. RESUMÉ En août 2016, la journaliste de mode Véronique Hyland a écrit un article dans le New York Magazine dans lequel elle notait qu'une vague de rose envahissait progressivement le monde de la mode et du design. L’émergence du millennial pink consiste en un nombre relativement important d’événements qui se succèdent ou se chevauchent. Mais si le millennial pink est si répandu, c’est parce que les idoles des millennials, très actives sur les réseaux sociaux comme Instagram , jouent également avec cette tendance, et drainent autour d’elles un flot de médias qui relaient leur adhésion au à la tendance du millennial pink. Ainsi, aux côtés de Rihanna qui a lancé une gamme de vêtements roses en collaboration avec Puma, il y a Zain Malik, Drake, Solange ou Zoe Kravitz. Toute apparition d’une star en rose est sujette au « buzz », une communication virale médiatique qui concentre toute l’attention, en particulier sur les internets, pendant une courte période. Une tactique promotionnelle attrayante pour les médias qui publient leurs articles et font en sorte que le nombre de visiteur ∙se ∙s sur leur page soit suffisamment rémunéré par la publicité. Mots-clés: millennial pink, tendances, marketing genré, symbolique des couleurs ABSTRACT In August 2016, fashion journalist Véronique Hyland wrote an article in New York Magazine where she noted that a wave of pink was gradually invading the world of fashion and design.

  • The Edge of Ladyspace: Ladi6 and the Political Limits of Self-Branding
    MEDIANZ ! VOL 15, NO 1 ! 2015 DOI: 10.11157/medianz-vol15iss1id6 - ARTICLE - The Edge of Ladyspace: Ladi6 and the Political Limits of Self-Branding Annalise Friend Abstract Musicians connected through online and offline networks make use of a personal brand to represent themselves and their work. This self-branding must be recognisable, repetitive, and ‘fresh’ if it is to cut through the deluge of contemporary media content. The brands of politically engaged performers—referred to as ‘conscious’ performers—often revolve around political critique, ‘oneness’, and personal and spiritual uplift. These notions are often placed in opposition to the apparent commodification of performers through practices of personal branding. The circulation and consumption of personal brands may not necessarily however, preclude the impact of apparent political critique. This article will explore how the Samoan Aotearoa-New Zealander vocalist Ladi6 plays with the role of ‘lady’ in her brand as a politically engaged strategy. Ladi6 draws on genre resources from conscious hip-hop, soul, reggae, and electronic music. Her assertion of female presence, or creation of a ‘ladyspace’, is both ambiguous and reflexive. While the production of her personal brand—found in videos, lyrics, photos, online presence, merchandise, and live performances—operates according to the logics of global capitalism; the consumption of this brand can provide an alternative ‘conscious’ mode of engagement with the Ladi6 musical commodity. Introduction This article presents Ladi6 (Karoline Tamati) as a case study of a performer who uses the role of being a ‘conscious’ artist as her personal brand. This type of branding implies that her lyrical and musical content is politically critical.
