Mayer’s solution was to make the Chinese henchmen screenwriter Richard Morris fully-realized characters that are central to the plot and were inspired by pastiche to have them speak Chinese.

Female artists, social media and alternative economy: the case of Amanda Palmer Beatriz Medeiros165 and Beatriz Polivanov166 Abstract In this paper we seek to investigate the strategies that the independent artist Amanda Palmer uses in order to gain visibility and financial capital to promote her music. Our theoretical background is mainly related to the process of self- presentation in social media, along with Bourdieu’s (2013) notion of symbolic capital. Based on the analysis of posts made by the artist on social network sites, such as Twitter and Instagram, apart from her blog and book / memoir (Palmer, 2014), we argue that her approaches for getting the audience engaged with her pledges can be gathered in three axes: a) public exposure of intimacy; b) negotiations of asking and c) advertising her crowdfunding projects.

  • LGBTQ Episodic Television Study Guide
    Archive Study Guide: LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER TELEVISION: SITCOMS AND EPISODIC DRAMAS ARCHIVE STUDY GUIDE The representation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities on television is marked by a history of stereotypes and inexplicable invisibility. By the 1970s, gay media-watch groups communicated their concerns to the television industry and a sense of cooperation began to emerge between the LG BT community and broadcasters. During the 1980s, the AIDS crisis and resulting prejudices ushered in a new era of problematic and offensive portrayals. In the late 1990s, Ellen Degeneres' landmark coming out, (both in real- life, and through the character she portrayed in her sitcom), generated much controversy and discussion, ultimately paving the way for well -developed gay characters in prominent primetime TV roles. Despite such advances, stereotypes continue to resurface and perpetuate, and the full diversity of the LGBT community is more often than not underrepresented in the mass media.

    The Tim Ferriss Show Transcripts Episode 67: Amanda Palmer Show notes and links at tim.blog/podcast Tim Ferriss: All right. So I'm gonna click "record," and then we're just gonna take a couple of seconds of silence, and then we'll jump right into it. Hello, boys and girls. This is Tim Ferriss, and welcome to another episode of the Tim Ferriss Show where I deconstruct world-class performers, whether they be billionaire hedge-fund managers, early-stage investors, like Peter Thiel, or celebrities, Arnold Schwarzenegger, musicians, chess prodigies, and so on. They have commonalities, and they do have tools and tricks and routines that you can use. This episode, I am interviewing Amanda Palmer, who is a musician, but also a social media virtuoso and innovator as a musician, from the standpoint of both music and business models. Some of you, I'm sure, have seen her hit TED presentation, "The Art of Asking," which has been viewed more than six million times. But her story goes much, much deeper, and we will plumb the depths. We will talk about, of course, perhaps the Dresden Dolls where she first rose to prominence as one-half of that acclaimed punk cabaret duo, then the journey from solo album to leaving her record label altogether and experimenting with things like Kickstarter. She made international news in 2012 when she raised nearly $1.2 million preselling her new album, "Theatre is Evil," which went on to debut in the Billboard Top 10. It's one hell of a story.
