  • Jeffrey Sachs Reith Lectures 2007: Bursting at the Seams
    Jeffrey Sachs Reith Lectures 2007: Bursting at the Seams Lecture 1: Bursting at the Seams Recorded at the Royal Society, London SUE LAWLEY: Hello and welcome to the Royal Society in London, a place where, since its foundation in 1660, great minds have gathered to discuss the important scientific issues of the day. It's a fitting place to introduce this year's Reith lecturer, a man who believes we need a new enlightenment to solve many of the world's problems. The American press has hailed him as one of the world's most influential people, a plaudit due in some measure no doubt to the fact that he's not afraid to put his theories to the test. Like one of his great heroes, John Maynard Keynes, he's moved between the academic life and politics, working successfully with governments in South America and Eastern Europe to help restore their broken economies. In this series of Reith Lectures he'll be explaining how he believes that with global co-operation our resources can be harnessed to create a more equal and harmonious world. If we cannot achieve this, he says, we will face catastrophe; we'll simply be overwhelmed by disease, hunger, pollution, and the clash of civilisations. In this, the first of his series of five lectures, he begins by setting the scene, describing an over-populated world on the brink of devastating change, a world that, as the title of the lecture says, is bursting at the seams. Ladies and gentlemen will you please welcome the BBC's Reith Lecturer 2007 - Jeffrey Sachs.

  • London Former Spice Girls Member Victoria Beckham, Now a Designer
    Sunday, April 9, 2017 15 Los Angeles ctor Robert Pattinson has insisted he didn’t ignore his “TheA Lost City of Z” co-star Charlie Hunnam when they shot the film. The two actors play explorers Henry Costing and Percy Fawcett in the forthcoming biopic. Hunnam earlier admitted he didn’t think the 30-year-old actor liked him when they were making the movie. And now Pattinson says he was just taking his lead in remaining distant from his co-star, reports Musician Arnel Pineda of Journey performs onstage at the 32nd Annual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony at Barclays mirror.co.uk.

  • DVD Press Release
    BFI DVD press release The Molly Dineen Collection Volume Three Molly Dineen is one of Britain’s most acclaimed, award-winning documentary filmmakers, known for her intimate and probing portrait films. This year the BFI has brought these extraordinary films to DVD for the first time, in three volumes. This final volume takes Dineen into different territory – probing more public figures; hereditary peers of the realm in the House of Lords, Geri Halliwell and Tony Blair. It also contains the heartbreaking, BAFTA-Award winning The Lie of the Land. Released on 5 December 2011, the films and specially-created extras on this 2-disc set are: Geri (1999): Geri Halliwell – the most colourful and outrageous of the Spice Girls – has dramatically left the band. A few days later, Dineen joins her as she seeks solace with family and friends, dodges the paparazzi, and embarks on her new career. This rollercoaster ride is a fascinating insight into the often solitary and unsettling side of fame and celebrity, and the personality behind that infamous Union Jack dress. The Lords' Tale (2002): Dineen follows one of Parliament’s greatest upheavals: the abolition of the hereditary peers. With customary sensitivity, she puts a human face on the constitutional crisis, weaving together the strands of the personal and the public to make one of the most astute political documentaries of the New Labour era. The Lie of the Land (2007): On the eve of the fox hunting ban, Dineen uncovers the shocking truths of life in the British countryside, where farmers struggle to survive under the weight of government legislation and the national indifference towards rural communities.

  • The Spice Girls As a Case Study for Intersections Between Popular
    Ben-Gurion University of the Negev The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Department of Politics and Government "Chicas to the Front": The Spice Girls as a Case Study for Intersections between Popular Culture and Feminism Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree Maayan Padan Under the Supervision of Prof. Dani Filc and Dr. Catherine Rottenberg January 2017 I II Abstract Recent years have seen the emergence of a new analytical category in the field of critical media and cultural studies – Post-feminism. This category is claimed to be a sensibility, in which feminist notions are brought to center of attention in various venues only to be treated as ridiculous, irrelevant and unattractive. At the expense of radical feminism political agenda, a message of individualism and consumerism is stressed, transforming every aspect of life into a commodity. Post-feminism draws its prominence mostly from girls and young women, as it promises them an individual subjectivity, if only they renounce collective political demands. Many scholars argue that one of the main sites of post-feminism to operate is mainstream popular culture, due to its commercial character. This argument derives from the analysis of the moment of decoding messages from popular culture's texts. This study examines this observation, by exploring the relationship between popular culture and feminism while focusing in the moment of encoding messages, drawing on the Spice Girls as a case study. The questions that stimulate this study are concerned with feminism and post-feminism, with popular culture icons and the messages they encode, and with girl culture and its agentive possibilities.
