The origin of this thesis is, like many others before it, born from a sense of disjuncture between what I heard about something, and what I experienced of it. The ‘something’ in question is what is increasingly, and I believe somewhat erroneously, termed as ‘new audio culture’. By this I refer to all scholarly and popular talk and activity concerning iPods, MP3s, headphones, and podcasts: everything which we may understand as being tethered to an older history of audio-media, yet which is more often defined almost exclusively by its digital parameters.

    NEW CHINA’S FORGOTTEN CINEMA, 1949–1966 More Than Just Politics by Greg Lewis Several years ago when planning a course on modern Chinese history as seen through its cinema, I realized or saw a significant void. I hoped to represent each era of Chinese cinema from the Leftist movement of the 1930s to the present “Sixth Generation,” but found most available subtitled films are from the post-1978 reform period. Films from the Mao Zedong period (1949–76) are particularly scarce in the West due to Cold War politics, including a trade embargo and economic blockade lasting more than two decades, and within the arts, a resistance in the West to Soviet- influenced Socialist Realism. wo years ago I began a project, Translating New China’s Cine- Phase One.

  • Perkins, Anthony (1932-1992) by Tina Gianoulis
    Perkins, Anthony (1932-1992) by Tina Gianoulis Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2007 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The life and career of actor Anthony Perkins seems almost like a movie script from the times in which he lived. One of the dark, vulnerable anti-heroes who gained popularity during Hollywood's "post-golden" era, Perkins began his career as a teen heartthrob and ended it unable to escape the role of villain. In his personal life, he often seemed as tortured as the troubled characters he played on film, hiding--and perhaps despising--his true nature while desperately seeking happiness and "normality." Perkins was born on April 4, 1932 in New York City, the only child of actor Osgood Perkins and Janet Esseltyn Rane. His father died when he was only five, and Perkins was reared by his strong-willed and possibly abusive mother. He followed his father into the theater, joining Actors Equity at the age of fifteen and working backstage until he got his first acting roles in summer stock productions of popular plays like Junior Miss and My Sister Eileen. He continued to hone his acting skills while attending Rollins College in Florida, performing in such classics as Harvey and The Importance of Being Earnest. Perkins was an unhappy young man, and the theater provided escape from his loneliness and depression. "There was nothing about me I wanted to be," he told Mark Goodman in a People Weekly interview. "But I felt happy being somebody else." During his late teens, Perkins went to Hollywood and landed his first film role in the 1953 George Cukor production, The Actress, in which he appeared with Spencer Tracy.

  • Platform Contributions - Summary of Feedback and Draft Policy
    Platform Contributions - Summary of feedback and Draft Policy March 2020 Purpose 1. The purpose of this paper is to summarise the public feedback NZ On Air received to the Platform Contributions review Discussion paper. In consideration of that feedback this paper then outlines a proposed approach that will form NZ On Air’s first official Platform Contributions policy, designed to clarify our expectations. Executive Summary 2. The shift to the NZ Media Fund (NZMF) has increased the diversity of platforms and audiences for which we fund content. Since the launch of the NZMF some issues have arisen in relation to platform contribution expectations. Specifically, there has been a degree of inequity and ambiguity in how we treat platforms and their financial commitment to projects, and we need to make this more consistent. 3. There was no clear consensus in the feedback we received on our discussion paper issued in November 2019. This paper is NZ On Air clarifying our expectations around platform contributions. 4. Key principles used to create this proposed Platform Contributions policy are: • Equity: a system that is fair for platforms, producers, and taxpayers • Proportionality: the bigger the funding request, the higher our expectation for co-investment • Simplicity: a simple, generally accepted approach that streamlines negotiation to assist both producers, platforms and NZ On Air staff • Incentivisation: a system that encourages both platforms and producers to support and create great, diverse content and secure co-investment where possible. Background 5. In November 2019 NZ On Air issued a Discussion paper to inform a review of Platform Contributions. Given the competing tensions described in the paper, the sharp increase in applications submitted and funded in the past two years, and the emergence of new digital platforms seeking to stream and produce local video content, NZ On Air needs to clarify guidelines and expectations of platform contributions.
