  • The Reimagined Paradise: African Immigrants in the United States, Nollywood Film, and the Digital Remediation of 'Home'
    THE REIMAGINED PARADISE: AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES, NOLLYWOOD FILM, AND THE DIGITAL REMEDIATION OF 'HOME' Tori O. Arthur A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2016 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Patricia Sharp Graduate Faculty Representative Vibha Bhalla Lara Lengel © 2016 Tori O. Arthur All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor This dissertation analyzes how African immigrants from nations south of the Sahara become affective citizens of a universal Africa through the consumption of Nigerian cinema, known as Nollywood, in digital spaces. Employing a phenomenological approach to examine lived experience, this study explores: 1) how American media aids African pre-migrants in constructing the United States as a paradise rooted in the American Dream; 2) immigrants’ responses when the ‘imagined paradise’ does not match their American realities; 3) the ways Nigerian films articulate a distinctly African cultural experience that enables immigrants from various nations to identify with the stories reflected on screen; and, 4) how viewing Nollywood films in social media platforms creates a digital sub-diaspora that enables a reconnection with African culture when life in the United States causes intellectual and emotional dissonance. Using voices of members from the African immigrant communities currently living in the United States and analysis of their online media consumption, this study ultimately argues that the Nigerian film industry, a transnational cinema with consumers across the African diaspora, continuously creates a fantastical affective world that offers immigrants tools to connect with their African cultural values.

  • The Blossoming of Nollywood the Nigerian Movie Industry
    THE BLOSSOMING OF NOLLYWOOD THE NIGERIAN MOVIE INDUSTRY © nigeriansinsouthafrica.com AUTHORS MARCH 2018 |-> CHLOE GILLET |-> DIMITRI ROGER |-> HELENA TSETOU |-> MOHAMED BA What do you know about Nigerian cinema? Did you know it is now the second largest film industry in the world in terms of film production with 800 to 1000 movies per year? Now, you do and you will learn even more. Its other name, Nollywood, is derived from the word Hollywood which refers to the home of the U.S film industry. This nickname can remind you of Bollywood, the Hindi Cinema (a portmanteau of Bombay and Hollywood). However, the Nigerian Cinema is nothing like either of them and has a lot to offer in multiple ways. This reportage is meant to be a presentation and a way to discover and understand this Cinema. For the sake of clarity, it focuses first on the history of the film production in the country, second on its themes, then its famous people, its recognition, the criticisms it faces. The goal of this reportage is to make a clear and short presentation of this cinema, at this end of the reportage, you will find a long list of references about it. © wikipedia - 1 - HISTORY OF THE NIGERIAN CINEMA ➢ Anthropological aspects of the development of the Nigerian cinema ©ThePointNG Located in Western Africa, Nigeria is the most populated African country with more than 150 million people from around 250 tribes. At the beginning of the colonial era (in the early 1900s), Nigeria was divided into the Northern and Southern Protectorates. However, the former was richer than the latter due to a faster economical development.

  • Celebrity Endorsement of Political Aspirants and Its Effects on College Students in Lagos
    This is the version of the article accepted for publication in Journal of African Media Studies published by Intellect doi: 10.1386/jams.9.3.487_1 Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/32045 Celebrity endorsement of political aspirants and its effects on college students in Lagos Añulika Agina and Akpevwe Ekwevugbe Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos Abstract This article examines two main research questions: what factors justify celebrity endorsement as an election campaign strategy given the increasing doubts associated with celebrity involvement in politics? Did celebrity endorsement of political aspirants influence young adults‟ voting behaviour during the 2015 elections in Lagos? Using mixed method approaches, and supported by source credibility and celebrity endorsement debates, a survey was conducted with a sample of 375 students of the Yaba College of Technology. Three semi-structured interviews with members of successful campaign teams were also conducted. Our findings revealed that campaign managers have huge confidence in the celebrity endorsement strategy for several reasons and would employ the approach in future. Further, the young people interrogated revealed that two-thirds of them are fans of Nollywood stars and music icons. But they were not influenced to vote on the basis of the celebrities‟ say-so. These findings are somewhat consistent with extant literature, but suggest the need for further studies regarding how celebrities translate fandom to votes. Keywords: celebrity endorsement, celebrity, politics, voting behaviour, election campaigns, Nigeria Introduction Media celebrities are highly regarded in their societies; and this enables them function as effective promoters of persons, issues, products, and causes since they are perceived as believable, trustworthy, likeable and persuasive (Austin et al, 2008) agents.

  • IN FOCUS: Studying African Cinema and Media Today Introduction
    IN FOCUS: Studying African Cinema and Media Today Introduction by ABOUBAKAR SANOGO, editor here has seldom been a more propitious and exciting moment to study African cinema and media than today. The current confi guration of the object referred to by the phrase “African cinema and media” and the discourses that seek to account for it, surround it, and in some cases make it visible are best perceived Tas being under the sign of the multiple. This indeed is the age of the proliferation of objects and a multiplication of discourses that seek to keep pace with developments in a fi eld in perpetual motion. The debates that rage in African cinema and media encompass the fi elds of the theoretical, the historiographic, and the critical, and indeed include the question of the articulation of the cultural, the political, and the economic. Chief among them (this is a nonexhaus- tive compendium) is arguably the question of the identity of the object (What, to paraphrase Stuart Hall, are the “cinema” and the “media” in African cinema and media? What is the “African” in Af- rican cinema and media?).1 These questions lead to the problem of naming: How should the object be referred to? African fi lm/cinema studies? Media studies? Screen studies? Moving-image studies? Screen media studies?2 The advent of Nollywood and the question of the status of video add both complexity and uncertainty regarding the object. Is Nollywood cinema or video? Movie or fi lm? What is this 1 This author started elaborating aspects of the present synthesis of strains of debates in African cinema following the “Semaphores and Surfaces” conference on African cinema held at Princ- eton University on November 1–3, 2013—co-organized by Wendy Belcher and Beatriz Leal Riesco and featuring several scholars of African cinema and media.

  • Reimagining the 'Blockbuster' for Nigerian Cinema
    Reimagining the ‘Blockbuster’ for Nigerian Cinema: The Nollywood Narrative Aesthetic of Affective Spectacle by Tori Arthur [email protected] American Culture Studies School of Cultural and Critical Studies Bowling Green State University Bowling Green, Ohio Tori Arthur is a doctoral student in the American Culture Studies program on the Critical Studies in Media, Film, and Culture track in the School of Cultural and Critical Studies at Bowling Green State University. Her dissertation will explore Nollywood’s affective storytelling and the dissemination and consumption of Nigerian films in the digital sphere. Prior to beginning her doctoral studies, Arthur was a Visiting Assistant Professor of Broadcast/Television Journalism and Public Relations at West Virginia University, Morgantown. She is currently a senior editorial and acquisitions consultant with ARBI Press, an upstart publishing company based in Lagos and Calabar, Nigeria. Abstract The typical ‘westernized’ notion of a blockbuster film denotes it as a feature produced with a multi-million dollar budget, high production value, well-known actresses and actors, and the latest special effects and digital advances. This meaning becomes problematic when it is applied to films from developing nations that do not have access to digital tradecraft. A new definition that privileges storytelling over production gimmicks is necessary in order to carefully and thoroughly analyze the two types of features currently produced in Nigeria, the traditional cultural melodramas and the theatrical film that retains melodramatic forms while attempting to mirror the methods of a big budget feature. The Nollywood blockbuster can be defined by its narrative spectacle, or hyper-dramatic plotlines that reflect the lived conditions and social pathologies that the Nigerian people face.

  • Nigerian Video Film As Minor Transnational Practice
    Postcolonial Text, Vol 3, No 2 (2007) Nigerian Video Film As Minor Transnational Practice Moradewun A Adejunmobi University of California, Davis Using the example of Nigerian video film, and building on the work of Françoise Lionnet and Shu-mei Shih, I intend in this paper to discuss certain features of transnational cultural practice and to identify conditions that enable different types of transnational cultural practice for populations currently marginalized in the global economy. To be specific, this contribution to the larger discussion on globalization and culture will focus on the phenomenon described by Lionnet and Shih (5) as “minor transnationalism,” or as “vernacular globalization” by Arjun Appadurai (10). I am particularly interested in commercial forms of transnational cultural productivity. And I will argue here that, under certain conditions, such commercial forms offer greater opportunity for autonomous voices from globally minoritized populations to emerge, in dialogue with local publics, and outside the dominant centers of cultural production, than do the non-commercial forms of transnational cultural productivity. This remains true even though transnational cultural transmission of the non- commercial variety frequently occurs through artistic and intellectual circuits, largely animated by liberal agendas and progressive politics. It remains true though the circuits enabling global circulation of non- commercial creative works appear especially sensitive to the concerns of significant constituencies in the developing world. Before going any further, I should like to state clearly that I do not consider commercial forms of minor transnational cultural productivity to be necessarily more vital or more relevant than non-commercial forms. In different ways, both types make a contribution to the political and artistic life of communities in the global South.

    Once known as the “Gold Coast,” today Ghana is hailed as the golden country of West Africa. It is located in West Africa and uniquely positioned on the globe. The Greenwich Meridian at zero degrees longitude passes through the city of Tema, and the equator cuts just few degrees south of Ghana. Therefore, if you step on the intersection of the Longitude and the Latitude, and in whichever direction you move, Ghana is the first landmass you would step on. That is why it is often said that, Ghana is closer to the center of the earth than any other country. Truly one of Africa's great success stories, Ghana is reaping the benefits of a stable democracy, a strong economy and a rapidly exploding tourism industry fueled by forts and castles, beautiful landscapes, many teeming with exotic wildlife, national parks, unique art and music communities, and exciting experiences among many indigenous cultural groups. Ghana is also suffused with the most incredible energy. When you visit the Republic of Ghana, you might come face to face with caracals (wild cats) and cusimanses, bongos (deer) and bushbacks. Learn from and celebrate with such ethic groups as the Fante, the Ashanti, the Mole-Dagbon or the Ewe. Shop the markets of Kejetia in Kumasi or Makola in Accra. Take time to visit the Wechiau Hippo Sanctuary, the Tafi Atome Monkey Sancuary, or even stop by Paga and feed the crocodiles. Visit the Larabanga Mosque which dates to 1421, the Nzulezu village on stilts, the Colonial lighthouse of Jamestown, or the National Theatre in Accra.

  • Bed Scenes Allurement As Entertainment and Selling Point in Nigeria’S Nollywood Movie Industry
    International Journal of Advancements in Research & Technology, Volume 8, Issue 4, April-2019 ISSN 2278-7763 8 Bed Scenes Allurement as Entertainment and Selling Point in Nigeria’s Nollywood Movie Industry Allen Nnanwuba Adum1, Ogochukwu Ekwenchi2, Ojinime Ebelechukwu Ojiakor3, Gloria Chukwuemeka4 1Department of Mass Communication, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria; 2 Department of Mass Communication, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria , 3Department of Mass Communication, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Anambra State, Nigeria 4 Department of Mass Communication, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Anambra State, Nigeria [email protected] ; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT We report on bed scenes allurement as entertainment and selling point in Nigeria’s Nollywood movie industry. In recent times, there has been an increase in the portrayal of bed scenes inNollywood movies. Before now, Nigerian film producers have been very conservative when itcomes to showing sex and nudity. This appears to have changed in line with global trends. Movieindustries all over the world appear a haven for delectable women who glamorize our screens, not only with their beauty but also their acting skills. At Hollywood, Bollywood, Ghollywoodand the like, pretty actresses with sensuous endowments engage in bed scenes which allure theminds of viewers. The idea that, a ravishing beauty on cast is as good as a box office hitapparently drives Nigerian film producers to incorporate bed scenes in their movies. In this era ofsex crusade where what sells is sex and maybe a little bit of violence, there is the suggestion thatproducers believe that if the talent of an actress doesn’t do the trick, the sexiness she exudes isbound to get attention.
