  • The Management of Accusations of Racism in Celebrity Big Brother
    The Management of Accusations of Racism in Celebrity Big Brother Damien W. Riggs School of Social Work Flinders University GPO Box 2100 Adelaide South Australia 5001 [email protected] Clemence Due School of Psychology The University of Adelaide South Australia 5001 [email protected] Keywords: accusations of racism, race privilege, celebrity big brother Abstract The 2007 UK series of Celebrity Big Brother drew considerable attention to Britain as a result of the alleged racist bullying of Bollywood film star Shilpa Shetty by four British celebrity housemates. At stake in these allegations was any perception that Britain as a country promotes inclusivity and discourages racism. In this paper we examine, through an analysis of the exit interviews conducted with the four housemates in question, how accusations of racism were made by the host of Big Brother, and how racism was almost made to disappear in the interviews. Specifically, we elaborate how racism was constructed not simply as an individual aberration, but more precisely as a matter of perception. We then explore how the host of the interviws avoided making accusations of racism herself by implying that it was others who perceived the behaviours of the housemates as racist, and by using other words (such as ‘bullying’) rather than explicitly referring to racism. We conclude by outlining the implications of our findings for future discursive research on racism, and we emphasise the need to further explore how rhetorical strategies aimed at denying racism operate in the service of shoring up privileged identities. This is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of an article published in Discourse and Society, 21, 257-271.

He grew up in the Hull area, and was educated at Pickering Road Junior School and Kingston High School, Hull. He then studied architecture at King's College, Newcastle upon Tyne, becoming an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1959 (since lapsed). He worked for a short time in the profession, before becoming a full-time writer in 1960. His subsequent career has been extremely wide-ranging and remarkably successful, both in terms of his own original work, and his adaptations of literary works. He has written extensively for radio, television, films and the theatre, and for the daily and weekly press, including The Guardian, Punch, Listener, and New Statesman. His writing credits exceed 250 in number, and include: - Theatre: 'A Smashing Day'; 'Close the Coalhouse Door'; 'Trinity Tales'; 'The Fosdyke Saga' - Film: 'The Virgin and the Gypsy'; 'It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet'; 'Priest of Love' - Television: 'Z Cars'; 'The Beiderbecke Affair'; 'Barchester Chronicles'; 'The Fortunes of War'; 'A Very British Coup'; and, 'Campion' - Radio: 'Ted's Cathedral'; 'Tolpuddle'; 'The Journal of Vasilije Bogdanovic' - Books: 'The Beiderbecke Trilogy'; 'Misterioso'; 'Doggin' Around' He received numerous awards, most notably the BAFTA Writer's Award in 1988. He was made an Honorary D.Litt. of the University of Hull in 1985, and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1985.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Engels (Nieuwe Stijl En Oude Stijl) Examen
    Examen VWO Voorbereidend 20 03 Wetenschappelijk Onderwijs Tijdvak 2 Woensdag 18 juni 13.30 – 16.00 uur Engels (nieuwe stijl en oude stijl) Tekstboekje 300035 9A Begin Tekst 1 I mage control: East London, Friday night 15 weeks of fame … ‘Night after night, shows like Big Brother – watched by impressionable young minds – glamorise the worst kind of people, boasting of their bed-hopping,’ harrumphed a Daily Mail leader-writer yesterday, palms damp and gusset twitching. And on the front page of the Daily Mail? A picture of Big Brother winner Brian, a happy man. It is a token of Brian Dowling’s currency this weekend that the Mail, which despises both Dowling as a person and the programme which has made him famous, should have been cowed into promoting him so fulsomely. The paper is frightened to alienate legions of readers who have followed Big Brother. Dowling is shown here stepping from the relaxed luxury of 24-hour surveillance – don’t try to restrain yourself, because you’ll be on camera anyway – to media property. He is already disoriented at discovering 120 cameramen jostling to photograph him as Big Brother presenter Davina McCall is trying to steer him in a different direction, towards a TV studio couch. Within hours, Brian’s packaging will have begun. Advised properly, he will find in future that every photo opportunity is ‘managed’ and has a specific objective. It will either be to promote him – I’m dippy, cheerful, always kindly – or to promote the product or venue by which he has been hired. Don’t expect to see Brian in public again looking lost, unkempt or carrying his own baggage.
