Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Jeremy criticises the contestant Earlier this week, researchers from Warwick University claimed people of Britain were at their most unhappy in 1978.

  • De Mentes, Entes Y Dementes: Un Repaso Histórico-Crítico De La Ciencia Ficción Hispanoamericana
    DE MENTES, ENTES Y DEMENTES: UN REPASO HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICO DE LA CIENCIA FICCIÓN HISPANOAMERICANA. Desde sus orígenes hasta nuestro días (1870-2013) by Nelson Darío González A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Spanish and Portuguese University of Toronto © Copyright by Nelson Darío González 2014 González ii DE MENTES, ENTES Y DEMENTES: Critical and Historical Review of Spanish-American Science Fiction (1870-2013) Nelson Darío González Doctor of Philosophy Department of Spanish and Portuguese University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This thesis has two main objectives. On the one hand, it is a historical and critical study of Spanish-American science fiction; on the other, it shows that the Cartesian mind-body dualism is the leading epistemological foundation of this literature. This research and the literary works examined also reveal the increasing ideological validity of biomedicine and brain studies in our understanding of human nature. A substantial number of short stories and novels by famous as well as unknown authors is examined. Ultimately, this thesis shows that Spanish-American science fiction has not only been written since the late 19th century, but that it also has intensively (although unevenly) developed since the second part of the twentieth century. The invisibility of these literary works is explained by the contradicting place of enunciation associated with all the Spanish-American science fiction writers. That is, this thesis considers the fact that science fiction written in “underdeveloped” societies has been regarded as a cultural contradiction. González iii Supplementary Abstract This dissertation encompasses a historical and critical account of Spanish-American science fiction (1870-2013).

  • 2008 Programme Review
    CHANNEL 4 REVIEW OF 2008 Major Themes in 2008 2008 was a year of dramatic creative renewal for Channel 4. In March, the organisation published Next on 4, a policy document laying out its public service vision for the future. Creative renewal in the schedule was evident even before then, with a raft of new programming in January occupying the space occupied in previous years by Celebrity Big Brother, which was rested. Over the course of the year, a range of authored series and campaigning programmes exemplified Channel 4’s renewed commitment to high-impact programming capable of engaging mass-market audiences, stimulating debate and generating interest in important social, political and cultural issues. However, Channel 4’s ability to fulfil its public service ambitions were curtailed by the downturn in the advertising market towards the end of the year, leading to significant reductions in the programming budget for both 2008 and 2009. In an increasingly competitive environment, Channel 4’s portfolio of channels and services maintained its viewing share at 11.9 per cent. The core channel share fell from 8.7 per cent in 2007 to 8.2 per cent in 2008. Next on 4 Dramatic changes are reshaping the UK broadcasting ecology, as it moves towards a fully digital world. Viewers will have access to dozens, if not hundreds of channels, as well as the rapidly growing variety of video services delivered online. In this context, Channel 4 reaffirmed its commitment in Next on 4 to remain a publicly-owned public service broadcaster whose primary purpose is the fulfilment of its legislative remit.
