Hbo Premieres All New Series Girls and Veep
HBO PREMIERES ALL NEW SERIES GIRLS AND VEEP  Miami, July 9, 2012 – HBO Latin America announced that Girls and Veep, two new original comedies, will premiere on July 23. The first episode of both productions will be available on www.hbomax.tv after they air onscreen. Girls is a comedy directed by Lena Dunham, the up-and-coming filmmaker and actor, who also stars in the series. Veep stars Emmy®-award-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who has starred in popular series like Seinfield and Curb your Enthusiasm.  Created and led onscreen by Lena Dunham, Girls takes a comic look at the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of women in their early 20s living in New York City. The series, which has already been renewed for a second season, focuses on the girls’ adventures in post-collegiate floundering.  A fresh and intimate look at friendship, relationships and self-discovery, Girls is a contemporary coming-of-age show that packs humor, farce and poignancy into each episode. Through four distinct characters, who may seem unlikely friends to some, Girls shines through as a voice of the post-recession generation who can hardly afford lunch, let alone Manolos. In addition to Lena Dunham as the anxious, rumpled Hannah, the cast of Girls includes Jemima Kirke as the beautiful Jessa, allergic to all things bourgeois; Allison Williams as Marnie, Hannah’s uptight roommate with strict rules about their best-friendship; Zosia Mamet (Mad Men) as Shoshanna, an NYU student and Jessa’s self-help obsessed roommate and cousin; and Adam Driver (HBO’s You Don’t know Jack) As Hannah’s love interest, Adam.

Asia Argento and the Me Too Movement: a Complicated Pairing
Volume 5, Issue No. 1. Asia Argento and the Me Too Movement: A Complicated Pairing Lauren Flowers Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: In October 2017, producer Harvey Weinstein, one of the most powerful forces in the entertainment industry, was accused of decades of hidden sexual misconduct by The New Yorker and The New York Times. As a result of the Weinstein accusations, the Me Too movement began on a global scale. The Me Too movement was initially created by activist Tarana Burke in 2006, and then co-opted by actresses Asia Argento, Rose McGowan, and Alyssa Milano in the wake of Weinstein’s accusations. It successfully fought to promote awareness of sexual assault and harassment and connecting victims to resources that would help them heal from their trauma. Then, in August 2018, Asia Argento was publicly accused of sexually assaulting actor Jimmy Bennett five years prior. At the time of the assault, Bennett was 17 years old, and Argento was 37 years old. The two had shared a work relationship for years, with Argento serving as Bennett’s mentor. Suddenly, Argento’s role in the Me Too movement seemed much less clear. How could a movement against sexual misconduct be led by a perpetrator? What did this mean for Argento’s presence as a leader against sexual misconduct? For the greater Me Too movement as a whole? The Me Too Movement’s Origins The Me Too movement was initially founded on MySpace in 2006 by Black activist Tarana Burke. Burke began the use of the phrase “Me Too” to show support for primarily Black women and girls who identified as victims of sexual trauma.

Cultural Common Ground Gets Harder to Come by by Elizabeth Blair 2011
Name: Class: Cultural Common Ground Gets Harder To Come By By Elizabeth Blair 2011 In an earlier time, Americans had fewer choices of what to watch or listen to on television. But now, in a world with in:nite choices, some believe that :nding common ground with one’s neighbor is becoming more and more di;cult. As you read the article below, take notes on the bene:ts and drawbacks of cultural fragmentation. [1] We live in a world of seemingly inGnite choices: Press the remote control and you can watch documentaries, cartoons, dramas and talent shows. Click the mouse and you can play video games, listen to music, watch movies or chat with friends. Technology has given us access to many diJerent forms of expression, and entire communities have formed around them. Americans live in a culture of multiple cultures no longer broken down simply by ethnicity, religion or age. So is there a name for this? Casey Rae-Hunter of "1950's - MODERN ADDICTION" by Clapagaré is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 the Future of Music Coalition says the academic word for it is disintermediation, “but since that’s a mouthful, ‘fractured culture’ works just Gne.” Alyssa Rosenberg, a blogger for The Atlantic, says “‘fractured’ implies something is broken [or] wounded.” Rosenberg prefers “fragmentation” and says, “When it comes to popular culture, fragmentation is a wonderful thing.” When Mark Lopez of the Pew Hispanic Research Center hears the term “fractured culture,” he thinks about young Latinos. “[They’re] straddling two diJerent cultures,” Lopez says.
