The insistence that all facilitators have doctorates in the humanities is, on the other hand, a requirement that the National Endowment for the Humanities builds into all its educational program grants. Some of you have had to ask for exceptions to this requirement, and in all instances, we have approved these exceptions because you have come up with people who are both experienced teachers and also have a special interest in film, literature, and/or aging.

  • The Culture of Queers
    THE CULTURE OF QUEERS For around a hundred years up to the Stonewall riots, the word for gay men was ‘queers’. From screaming queens to sensitive vampires and sad young men, and from pulp novels and pornography to the films of Fassbinder, The Culture of Queers explores the history of queer arts and media. Richard Dyer traces the contours of queer culture, examining the differ- ences and continuities with the gay culture which succeeded it. Opening with a discussion of the very concept of ‘queers’, he asks what it means to speak of a sexual grouping having a culture and addresses issues such as gay attitudes to women and the notion of camp. Dyer explores a range of queer culture, from key topics such as fashion and vampires to genres like film noir and the heritage film, and stars such as Charles Hawtrey (outrageous star of the Carry On films) and Rock Hudson. Offering a grounded historical approach to the cultural implications of queerness, The Culture of Queers both insists on the negative cultural con- sequences of the oppression of homosexual men and offers a celebration of queer resistance. Richard Dyer is Professor of Film Studies at The University of Warwick. He is the author of Stars (1979), Now You See It: Studies in Lesbian and Gay Film (Routledge 1990), The Matter of Images (Routledge 1993) and White (Routledge 1997).

  • Economic Effects of Vertical Disintegration: the American Motion Picture Industry, 1945 to 1955
    Working Papers No. 149/10 Economic Effects of Vertical Disintegration: The American Motion Picture Industry, 1945 to 1955 . Gregory Mead Silver © Gregory Mead Silver, LSE November 2010 Department of Economic History London School of Economics Houghton Street London, WC2A 2AE Tel: +44 (0) 20 7955 7860 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 Economic Effects of Vertical Disintegration: The American Motion Picture Industry, 1945 to 1955 Gregory Mead Silver Abstract In 1948, the United States Supreme Court declared the operations of eight of the nation’s largest motion picture studios in violation of the 1890 Sherman Antitrust Act.1The decision ordered them to disintegrate their producer-distributor roles from cinemas. The Court believed this would promote competitive practices in a hitherto uncompetitive industry. However, these desired benefits were not entirely reached. Instead, by leading the Hollywood studio system to collapse, the Court also distorted the supply- chain for motion pictures. This work utilizes Coasian analyses of transaction costs to show that institutional integration was an efficient structure for the motion picture industry. It explores the motives to integrate and the benefits it garnered. Having laid this groundwork, it then assesses the effects theatre divorcement had on the industry and offers plausible counterfactuals had the studios remained intact after 1948. 1 Introduction There has been much conjecture over the effects that government intervention can have on industry. The case examined here is the intervention of the United States Judiciary on the American motion picture industry in the late 1940s. Since 1890, the year Congress signed the Sherman Antitrust Act into law, the government has served as the self- imposed overseer that assures the proper functioning of competitive markets.

  • American Radio Collection, 1931-1972, Collection (S0256)
    S0256 American Radio Collection, 1931-1972 Collection 256 514 Audio Tapes This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. This collection is stored off site. Please allow 3-5 business days for retrieval. The American Radio Collection was donated to WHMC by the Thomas Jefferson Library. All tapes are reel-to-reel. All programs listed in this inventory are alphabetized by the first letter of each program, except for articles. Programs titled by a performers name are alphabetized by the performer’s first name: e.g., Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, Bing Crosby, etc. Wherever possible, programs are headed with a brief comment on their nature and the years they were broadcast. Introduction to American Radio Collection, 1931-1972, Collection 256 The American Radio Collection, composed of 514 reel-to-reel tapes, is a valuable piece of American social and cultural history. Tapes in the collection cover the early years of commercial broadcast radio through its golden years to the decline of network radio in the early 1960s. Today commercial radio aims its programs at specific audiences, listeners with different interests in music, politics, religion, and sports. News, commentary, and call-in- shows try to win loyal audiences to this “niche programming,” as it is sometimes called. Today, broadcast radio rarely seeks to appeal to a broad audience of varying ages, genders, ethnicities, occupations, or geographic locations. Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companionis a rare live broadcast aimed at a national audience but it attracts only a small audience, largely white and middle class.
