  • Cultural Anthropology Through the Lens of Wikipedia: Historical Leader Networks, Gender Bias, and News-Based Sentiment
    Cultural Anthropology through the Lens of Wikipedia: Historical Leader Networks, Gender Bias, and News-based Sentiment Peter A. Gloor, Joao Marcos, Patrick M. de Boer, Hauke Fuehres, Wei Lo, Keiichi Nemoto [email protected] MIT Center for Collective Intelligence Abstract In this paper we study the differences in historical World View between Western and Eastern cultures, represented through the English, the Chinese, Japanese, and German Wikipedia. In particular, we analyze the historical networks of the World’s leaders since the beginning of written history, comparing them in the different Wikipedias and assessing cultural chauvinism. We also identify the most influential female leaders of all times in the English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese Wikipedia. As an additional lens into the soul of a culture we compare top terms, sentiment, emotionality, and complexity of the English, Portuguese, Spanish, and German Wikinews. 1 Introduction Over the last ten years the Web has become a mirror of the real world (Gloor et al. 2009). More recently, the Web has also begun to influence the real world: Societal events such as the Arab spring and the Chilean student unrest have drawn a large part of their impetus from the Internet and online social networks. In the meantime, Wikipedia has become one of the top ten Web sites1, occasionally beating daily newspapers in the actuality of most recent news. Be it the resignation of German national soccer team captain Philipp Lahm, or the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight 17 in the Ukraine by a guided missile, the corresponding Wikipedia page is updated as soon as the actual event happened (Becker 2012.

  • During the 1930-60'S, Hollywood Directors Were Told to "Put the Light Where the Money Is" and This Often Meant Spectacular Costumes
    During the 1930-60's, Hollywood directors were told to "put the light where the money is" and this often meant spectacular costumes. Stuidos hired the biggest designers and fashion icons to bring to life the glitz and the glamour that moviegoers expected. Edith Head, Adrian, Walter Plunkett, Irene and Helen Rose were just a few that became household names because of their designs. In many cases, their creations were just as important as the plot of the movie itself. Few costumes from the "Golden Era" of Hollywood remain except for a small number tha have been meticulously preserved by a handful of collectors. Greg Schreiner is one of the most well-known. His wonderful Hollywood fiolm costume collection houses over 175 such masterpieces. Greg shares his collection in the show Hollywoood Revisited. Filled with music, memories and fun, the revue allows the audience to genuinely feel as if they were revisiting the days that made Hollywood a dream factory. The wardrobes of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Andrews, Robert Taylor, Bette Davis, Ann-Margret, Susan Hayward, Bob Hope and Judy Garland are just a few from the vast collection that dazzle the audience. Hollywood Revisited is much more than a visual treat. Acclaimed vocalists sing movie-related music while modeling the costumes. Schreiner, a professional musician, provides all the musical sccompaniment and anecdotes about the designer, the movie and scene for each costume. The show has won critical praise from movie buffs, film historians, and city-wide newspapers. Presentation at the legendary Pickfair, The State Theatre for The Los Angeles Conservancy and The Santa Barbara Biltmore Hotel met with huge success.

  • Simone Signoret 1921-1985: the Star As Sign-The Sign As Scar
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Modern Languages Publications Archive Simone Signoret 1921-1985: the star as sign-the sign as scar Susan Hayward 1. The sign as scar and the mise en scène of suffering The first part of this essay will address the second part of the title: the sign as scar-although inevitably the notion of star as sign will also inflect this first reading of Simone Signoret. However, I need first to give some narrative texts of the star in question in order to put in place perceptions of her that situate I her in all her complexity. The first comes from extracts fi-om Catherine David’s biography of Signoret.’ Despite its proclivity to hagiography, the book does have the merit of perceiving the muli-faceted nature of Signoret- one of the many pre-requisities to stardom-and indeed of hinting, in the final extract, at what is one of Signoret’s greatest attractions: her ability to appeal to men and women alike (a point that will be developed in the second half of this essay). David positions Signoret as anti-star first of all, then as a site for history, and, finally, as woman-as-man: On the sofa in my living-room, files are spread out everywhere, marked ‘Signoret’ (...) There are old press cuttings that catch one’s heart: in the fifties, she was ‘one of the most popular film stars’, dressed in ‘flannel slacks and a turtle-necked sweater’. She smoked Gauloises, and she was already an ‘anti-star’, ‘a tough customer’, but with a real heart’.

Yet Hollywood has often shied away from taking a clear stance on and directly engaging in social and political discussions, leaving difficult, controversial topics for independent filmmakers to explore. When it has engaged with these issues, Hollywood usually remains silent for a few years before taking on such subjects. However, even in its aversion to pointed discussions, its representations and relationships remain political.
