  • Stephen Hawking,These Are the Women in Scien
    The Queen’s commonwealth Day Message 2021 The Queen’s commonwealth Day Message 2021: Over the coming week, as we celebrate the friendship, spirit of unity and achievements of the Commonwealth, we have an opportunity to reflect on a time like no other. Whilst experiences of the last year have been different across the Commonwealth, stirring examples of courage, commitment and selfless dedication to duty have been demonstrated in every Commonwealth nation and territory, notably by those working on the front line who have been delivering health care and other public services in their communities. We have also taken encouragement from remarkable advances in developing new vaccines and treatments. The testing times experienced by so many have led to a deeper appreciation of the mutual support and spiritual sustenance we enjoy by being connected to others. The need to maintain greater physical distance, or to live and work largely in isolation, has, for many people across the Commonwealth, been an unusual experience. In our everyday lives, we have had to become more accustomed to connecting and communicating via innovative technology – which has been new to some of us – with conversations and communal gatherings, including Commonwealth meetings, conducted online, enabling people to stay in touch with friends, family, colleagues, and counterparts who they have not been able to meet in person. Increasingly, we have found ourselves able to enjoy such communication, as it offers an immediacy that transcends boundaries or division, helping any sense of distance to disappear. We have all continued to appreciate the support, breadth of experiences and knowledge that working together brings, and I hope we shall maintain this renewed sense of closeness and community.

Martin, Chair Professor Kerwin Lee Klein Professor Linda Williams Spring 2014 Copyright 2014 by Joseph Lam Duong Abstract California Hard Core by Joseph Lam Duong Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Waldo E. Martin, Chair California Hard Core is a narrative history of the pornographic film industry in California from 1967 to 1978, a moment when Americans openly made, displayed, and watched sexually explicit films. Two interrelated questions animate this project: Who moved the pornographic film from the margins of society to the mainstream of American film culture? What do their stories tell us about sex and sexuality in the U.S. in the last third of the twentieth century? The earlier academic literature concentrates on pornographic film and political debates surrounding it rather than industry participants and their contexts. The popular literature, meanwhile, is composed almost entirely of book-length oral histories and autobiographies of filmmakers and models. California Hard Core helps to close the divide between these two literatures by documenting not only an eye-level view of work from behind the camera, on the set, and in the movie theater, but also the ways in which consumers received pornographic films, placing the reader in the viewing position of audience members, police officers, lawyers, judges, and anti-pornography activists.

  • Burkas and Bikinis: Playboy in Indonesia1
    DE1- 173-I BURKAS AND BIKINIS: PLAYBOY IN INDONESIA1 Original written by professor David Bach at IE Business School. Original version, 3 June 2011. Published by IE Business Publishing, María de Molina 13, 28006 – Madrid, Spain. ©2011 IE. Total or partial publication of this document without the express, written consent of IE is prohibited. Christie Hefner was no stranger to controversy. She had the physical appearance of the All- American professional: perfectly coiffeured shiny blond hair, tasteful yet elegant outfits, and understated jewelry that nevertheless communicated both style and confidence. Anybody meeting her for the first time could have been forgiven for mistaking her for a lawyer, consultant, or the general manager of an upscale country club. Hefner was nothing of the sort for she was both a self-proclaimed feminist and the CEO of the company with the most recognizable name in men's entertainment: Playboy Enterprises. Since taking over the company from her father Hugh Hefner, the quintessential playboy, she had had to work her way out of many difficult situations, both in Playboy’s U.S. home market and overseas. But for two months, after receiving an unnerving phone call in December 2006 that Erwin Arnada, the editor-in-chief of Playboy Indonesia, had been charged and indicted for promoting obscenity, Hefner had been agonizing over possible courses of action. Her most immediate concern was for Arnada’s safety. But she also knew that the incident raised important questions beyond Arnada. In managing the situation, Hefner had to make decisions that would inevitably affect the future global strategy of Playboy Enterprises.

  • The War Against the Kitchen Sink Pilot
    The War Against the Kitchen Sink Pilot Another way to describe “The War Against the Kitchen Sink Pilot” would be: “How to Overcome the Premise Pilot Blues.” A premise pilot literally establishes the premise of the show. Often they’re expository—it’s Maia’s first day at Diane’s law firm; the first time Mulder and Scully are working together; the day Cookie gets out of prison; when Walt decides he’s going to cook meth and potentially deal drugs. Premise pilots generally reset everything. When they work well, the creators take their time establishing the introduction into the world. We get the launch of the series in a nuanced, layered, slow burn way. I’m more satisfied by a pilot that has depth; there’s time for me to get to know the characters before throwing me into a huge amount of plotting. For me, character is always more important than plot. Once the characters are established, I’ll follow them anywhere. In 1996, when John Guare, the smart, prolific, outside-the-box playwright and screenwriter, published his first volume of collected works, he wrote a preface for the book The War Against the Kitchen Sink. One of the things Guare was rallying against was that desperate perceived need for realism, such as of drab objects in plays, when they could only ever be a construct. More interested in inner realities, !1 he grew curious in musicals, because there is no fourth wall. The actors interact with the audience, and Guare was intrigued by the connection between the audience and the actors on stage.
