  • Everything Began with the Movie Moulin Rouge (2001)
    Introduction Everything began with the movie Moulin Rouge (2001). Since I was so obsessed with this hit film, I couldn’t but want to know more about this particular genre - musical films. Then I started to trace the history of this genre back to Hollywood’s classical musical films. It’s interesting that musical films have undergone several revivals and are usually regarded as the products of escapism. Watching those protagonists singing and dancing happily, the audience can daydream freely and forget about the cruel reality. What are the aesthetic artifices of this genre so enchanting that it always catches the eye of audience generation after generation? What kinds of ideal life do these musical films try to depict? Do they (musical films) merely escape from reality or, as a matter of fact, implicitly criticize the society? In regard to the musical films produced by Hollywood, what do they reflect the contemporary social, political or economic situations? To investigate these aspects, I start my research project on the Hollywood musical film genre from the 1950s (its Classical Period) to 2002. However, some people might wonder that among all those Hollywood movies, what is so special about the musical films that makes them distinguish from the other types of movies? On the one hand, the musical film genre indeed has several important contributions to the Hollywood industry, and its influence never wanes even until today. In need of specialty for musical film production, many talented professional dancers and singers thus get the chances to join in Hollywood and prove themselves as great actors (actresses), too.

  • 2019-03-22 2Entertain Gör En Samproduktion Med
    PRESSMEDDELANDE GÖTEBORG 2019-03-22 essmeddelande från 2E Group AB (publ) 2Entertain gör en samproduktion med marknadsledande aktör i Tyskland 2Entertain gör tillsammans med BB Promotion en samproduktion av musikalen Flashdance. BB Promotion är en av Tysklands ledande aktörer inom produktion och marknadsföring av musikal och show och ingår i Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG), global marknadsledare inom segmentet live entertainment. BB Promotion kommer att vara huvudansvariga för en turné med Flashdance, med 2Entertain som samproducent. 2Entertain gjorde under 2018 en satsning i egen regi på den tysktalande marknaden genom att under hösten spela Flashdance på nio orter i Tyskland och Österrike. Föreställningen kritikerrosades och prisnominerades och sammanlagt 61 000 biljetter såldes, vilket dock inte var tillräckligt för att nå målsättningen på 90 000 biljetter. 2Entertain offentliggjorde därför den 30 januari 2019 att satsningen på den tysktalande marknaden, i egen regi, avbrutits. Efteranalysen visade tydligt att för att nå framgång i de tysktalande regionerna är ett samarbete med en stark kommersiell partner med kunskap om främst biljettförsäljning på aktuell marknad avgörande. BB Promotion är Tysklands största turnéproducent och ingår i det engelska bolaget Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG), global marknadsledare inom segmentet live entertainment. BB Promotion har under 30 år framgångsrikt producerat turnéer i de tysktalande länderna med alla de stora musikalerna från Broadway och West End och de är specialister på PR och marknadsföring av musikaler i Tyskland, Schweiz och Luxemburg. BB Promotion ser en stor potential i den produktion av Flashdance som 2Entertain producerade och spelade under hösten 2018 och en turné är nu planerad. Turnén kommer att besöka 16 städer i Tyskland, Schweiz och Luxemburg och totalt kommer 113 föreställningar att spelas.

  • Names of Companion Animals: Rovers in the Onomasticon?
    Names of Companion Animals: Rovers in the Onomasticon? Katharina Leibring Sweden Abstract The names of companion animals could, from the outside, be seen as freely roving elements in the onomasticon. There are few or no legal restrictions on their given names, so, in theory, a dog, or a cat, could have any kind of word creation as a name. Dogs and other companion animals play a larger role as family members in many countries than ever before, something that possibly has an influence on their names. My major aim here is to establish, from a socio-onomastic viewpoint, whether animal owners in general take advantage of this apparent liberty, or whether they restrict themselves to using otherwise well-established name groups, e.g. anthroponyms or older zoonyms. The first part of the study is devoted to dog names. A large corpus of such names used in Sweden during the last decade is examined. The features of the most popular names given to dogs are studied and their relationship to popular baby names is discussed. This is combined with a study of dog names attested only once in the corpus. The results are supplemented with some findings on general attitudes to names of companion animals, taken from a recent questionnaire survey of animal owners. * * * Introduction It is well known that dogs and other companion animals play an important role as family members in many countries today (Thorsen 2001, Leibring 2015a, Saarelma 2012).1 This close relationship could and does have an influence on their names – more popular anthroponyms are now used for animals than seems to have been the case in earlier times.

  • On Emotions and Salsa: Some Thoughts on Dancing to Rethink Consumers Paul Hewer* and Kathy Hamilton Department of Marketing, Strathclydeuniversity,Glasgow,G40RQ,UK
    On emotions and salsa: some thoughts on dancing to rethink consumers Paul Hewer* and Kathy Hamilton Department of Marketing, StrathclydeUniversity,Glasgow,G40RQ,UK Dance forms are a big business, highly marketable commoditized cultural universes, with a plethora of markets constructed around their spirit, vitality and possibilities. In this paper, we explore one particular dance form, that of Salsa, arguing that as consumer researchers we look for a more vibrant vocabulary and mindset with which to capture the experiential and transcendental nature of such social associations. We demonstrate that the metaphor of dancing is useful to revitalize our notions of consumer actions; taking them out of the grey mundane of calculative and rational action into the possibilities of emotional economies constructed around the effervescence and vitality of the social (cf. Maffesoli, 1996). Copyright # 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. It is easy to see that we are living in a time of objects the IPod, to the marketing of a lager, of rapid and radical social change. It is San Miguel with that most elusive of qualities, much less easy to grasp the fact that such passion. A range of companies have employed change will inevitably affect the nature of the motif of dancing experiences to create an those disciplines that both reflect our aura of vibrancy and vitality around their society and help to shape it. (Hawkes cited products.
