Routledge Studies in New Media and Cyberculture Download date: 30. sep.. 2021 Policy and Marketing Strategies for Digital Media With digital media becoming ever more prevalent, it is essential to study policy and marketing strategies tailored to this new development. In this volume, contributors examine government policy for a range of media, including digital television, Internet Protocol TV (IPTV), mobile TV, and Over-the-Top (OTT) TV. They also address marketing strategies that can harness the unique nature of digital media’s innovation, production design, and accessibility. They draw on case studies in Asia, North America, and Europe to offer best practices for both policy and marketing strategies. “The essays in this book provide valuable insights for both professionals and academics on the impact of changes in digital media on public policy and the marketplace.” — David Ackerman, California State University, Northridge, USA “This is a collection of important insights from around the world on some of the most important communication issues of our time. It is must-reading for anyone who wants to see the whole picture.” — Pat Longstaff, Syracuse University, USA Yu-li Liu is professor of the Department of Radio and TV at National Chengchi University in Taiwan.

  • The Phantom on Film: Guest Editor’S Introduction
    The Phantom on Film: Guest Editor’s Introduction [accepted for publication in The Opera Quarterly, Oxford University Press] © Cormac Newark 2018 What has the Phantom got to do with opera? Music(al) theater sectarians of all denominations might dismiss the very question, but for the opera studies community, at least, it is possible to imagine interesting potential answers. Some are historical, some technical, and some to do with medium and genre. Others are economic, invoking different commercial models and even (in Europe at least) complex arguments surrounding public subsidy. Still others raise, in their turn, further questions about the historical and contemporary identities of theatrical institutions and the productions they mount, even the extent to which particular works and productions may become institutions themselves. All, I suggest, are in one way or another related to opera reception at a particular time in the late nineteenth century: of one work in particular, Gounod’s Faust, but even more to the development of a set of popular ideas about opera and opera-going. Gaston Leroux’s serialized novel Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, set in and around the Palais Garnier, apparently in 1881, certainly explores those ideas in a uniquely productive way.1 As many (but perhaps not all) readers will recall, it tells the story of the debut in a principal role of Christine Daaé, a young Swedish soprano who is promoted when the Spanish prima donna, Carlotta, is indisposed.2 In the course of a gala performance in honor of the outgoing Directors of the Opéra, she is a great success in extracts of works 1 The novel was serialized in Le Gaulois (23 September 1909–8 January 1910) and then published in volume-form: Le Fantôme de l’Opéra (Paris: Lafitte, 1910).

Her film Shaolin Soccer (2001) was the highest-grossing Chinese film in France and Italy. Her film So Close (2002) ranked top in Chinese DVD sales in France and her TV series Romance in the Rain was the most popular Chinese TV drama in France.

All activities on university campuses were called off. Students were assigned to designated dining halls, and were required to go to these places at scheduled times, to avoid all possible contagion of the disease. Surfing the Web, for the first time, became a legitimate “full-time job” for students. As was later acknowledged in the Chinese media, SARS cultivated a special emotional attachment to the Internet for a large number of the Chinese people, and I was one of them. Nine years later, my emotional ties to the Chinese Internet were fully developed into a dissertation, for which I am deeply indebted to my advisor Dr. Sung- Sheng Yvonne Chang.

Our goal is to provide leaders in commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth; natural resources; labor markets; the evolution of global financial markets; the economic impact of technology and innovation; and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed job creation, resource productivity, cities of the future, the economic impact of the Internet, and the future of manufacturing. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Jonathan Woetzel. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, and Jaana Remes serve as MGI partners. Project teams are led by the MGI partners and a group of senior fellows, and include consultants from McKinsey & Company’s offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey & Company’s global network of partners and industry and management experts.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Emperor’s Coffer: The Qing Imperial Fiscal Separation Between Privy Purse and State Treasury (1644-1912) A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Jia Feng 2017 © Copyright by Jia Feng 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Emperor’s Coffer: The Qing Imperial Fiscal Separation Between Privy Purse and State Treasury (1644-1912) by Jia Feng Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Robert P. Brenner, Co-Chair Professor James Tong, Co-Chair This dissertation examines the imperial fiscal arrangement during the Qing dynasty that separated the privy or crown’s purse from the state treasury. In my dissertation, I argue that while the distinction between public and private finance has long been identified in European studies as an important sign of the rise of modernity, similar fiscal arrangements in China arose from the crown’s endeavor over several decades to consolidate authority first over the nobility and then over the Chinese state. I see dynamics of this separation as deeply rooted in China’s longstanding patrimonial bureaucratic rule. The continued functioning of the imperial state system into the Qing, a dynasty founded by non-Han rulers, thus suggests the remarkable resiliency of Chinese political traditions despite dramatic institutional changes brought by alien conquest. This dissertation is composed of an introduction, six chapters, and a conclusion. The ii introduction sets out the reasons why the public/private divide structure does not necessarily mean the rise of modernity and demonstrates how the separation was both indicative of and shaped by China’s longstanding patrimonial bureaucratic rule.
