    44618 History Newsletter 2009

    THE NEWSLETTER DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Number 58 Chapel Hill, North Carolina Autumn 2009 GREETINGS FROM THE CHAIR. The national and international events of 2008-09 affected the History Department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in much the same way that they influenced most other institutions over the past year. The global economic recession, a huge decline in North Carolina’s tax revenues, the major losses in endowment funds, and our own university’s mandated budget cuts all echoed through the offices and classrooms of Hamilton Hall. We learned again that historians have no way to escape from history, even as they maintain the all-important “long view” that keeps everything in proper perspective. Despite the recent financial upheavals, however, the UNC History Department had another highly productive year. The faculty published 12 new books, edited or co-edited seven other books, and produced fifty scholarly articles and chapters in edited collections. Our graduate students continued to receive national and international research awards, including twenty fellowships from foundations and government agencies such as the Mellon Foundation, the ACLS, the Fulbright-Hayes program, the Japan Foundation, and the German government’s DAAD research program. You will find detailed information about the diversity of our Department’s publications, teaching, and research awards in the pages of this Newsletter; and you will see how UNC’s historians remain constantly active, no matter what may be happening in the wider world of stock markets, banks, and international trade. The Department also continued to sponsor the Project for Historical Education (regular seminars for high school history teachers) and the annual public lecture on African American History.

    Studio Dragon Corporation (253450 KQ ) Temporary Lull

    Studio Dragon Corporation (253450 KQ ) Temporary lull Media 2Q18 review: Temporary lull due to absence of tentpoles For 2Q18, Studio Dragon delivered consolidated revenue of W74.3bn (+19.6% YoY ) and operating profit of W7.3bn (-17.6% YoY). Revenue was 8% above the consensus Company Report (W68.5bn), but operating profit missed the consensus (W9.3bn) by 21%. Licensing sales August 9, 2018 were tepid, as 2Q18 was the only quarter of the year with no tentpole titles (i.e., those with production cost of W1bn per episode). Meanwhile, pro duction costs for regular titles increased, which was good for revenue, but bad for margins. That said, we view the 2Q18 profit figure as the minimum level of profits that can be expected, regardless of the commercial success of the company’s titles. (Maintain) Buy Programming revenue was strong, growing 41.1% YoY to W34.1bn, thanks to budget increases. All of the company’s six titles in 2Q18 were aired on captive channels. Target Price (12M, W) Following the success of Live and My Mister in March, dramas like What’s Wrong with 150,000 Secretary Kim (June) also did well, both critically and commercially (average ratings: +1.5%p). Licensing sales grew 9.5% YoY to W28.8bn. Despite the absence of tentpoles, Share Price (08/08/18, W) 96,000 overseas sales continued. The company also recognized some VoD sales of regular titles, sales of older titles, and part of the licensing sales for Live from Netflix (sold in 1Q18). Other revenue slipped 1.9% YoY to W11.4bn.

  • A Bong Joon Ho Film

    A BONG JOON HO FILM - INTERNATIONAL PRESS KIT - FILM INFORMATION English Title PARASITE Original Title GISAENGCHUNG Genre Drama Language Korean Country of Production Republic of Korea Director BONG Joon Ho Screenplay BONG Joon Ho, HAN Jin Won Cast SONG Kang Ho, LEE Sun Kyun, CHO Yeo Jeong, CHOI Woo Shik, PARK So Dam, LEE Jung Eun, CHANG Hyae Jin Presented by CJ Entertainment Production Barunson E&A World Sales CJ Entertainment Production Year 2019 Release Date May 2019 Running Time 131 min Aspect Ratio 2.35:1 Format 4K l Dolby Atmos INTRODUCTION The arrival of a new film from BONG Joon Ho is always an event, but the premiere of Parasite at Cannes is the cause for particularly strong anticipation. Having worked over the last decade on the expansive, internationally-set features Snowpiercer and Okja, BONG now returns to his home country for a film that is more focused in its setting, but perhaps even more ambitious in its execution. Consensus is building that Parasite represents not merely a new film, but the beginning of a new stage in BONG Joon Ho's accomplished career. BONG has taken care not to reveal too much ahead of the film's premiere, but in one sense, no advance knowledge could lessen the experience of watching Parasite for the first time. Completely unpredictable in its development, the film resists categorization and doesn't fit into any established genre. Its mix of black humor, social commentary, satire and suspense is characteristically BONG Joon Ho, and yet it's hard to find another film from his filmography – or from that of any other director – that quite resembles this work.

University In memory of Charmaine Maré († 10/1/2013, age 18), who couldn’t get away. Town Cape of University i ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the extent to which the postapartheid democratic space in South Africa has allowed for the emergence of new identities for Afrikaans women - beyond the normative Afrikaner nationalist volksmoeder [mother of the nation] ideal. The study interrogates Afrikaner subjectivities through the interpretive lens of ordentlikheid – an ethnicised respectability – at the intersections of gender, sexuality, class and race. Framed by the theoretical perspectives of Laclau and Mouffe, Foucault, and Butler, the study employs discourse analysis across three phases: Firstly, an analysis of Sarie women’s magazine, as an instrument of a culturally-sanctioned, normative discourse; secondly, an analysis of texts generated in focus group interviews with subjects who self-identify as women, white, heterosexual, middle-class and Afrikaans-speaking; and thirdly, an analysis of texts from individual in-depth interviews.
