Between Fiction and Politics (Mis)Representations of the United Nations in Literature and Movies Sciences Po Grenoble 2020-2021 Fall Semester Cours spécialisé Between Fiction and Politics (Mis)Representations of the United Nations in literature and movies Teacher: Dr. Marieke LOUIS Associate Professor in Political Science and International Relations Contact : [email protected] § Course description This course suggests re-visiting the criticisms often address to the United Nations (naive idealism, paralysis, bureaucratization, power politics, etc.) not through the lenses of International Relations (IR) theories but from the perceptions of writers and movie directors. Through their professional activity and art, they have shared (often on a broader scale than academics) their representations of the United Nations. What are these representations? To what extent do they accurately reflect what actually happens within the United Nations and its field of action? How are these representations spread and received? How do these works articulate fiction with politics? While priority will be given to the analysis of a corpus of selected documents (books and movies), attention will also be paid to some theoretical works (in political science, sociology and history) in order to help us understand the way in which particular media may influence our own representations of international institutions. Thus, this course aims at bridging the gap between popular representations and academic knowledge, not in a confrontational way but through a better understanding of their respective production mechanisms and goals. This course is open to any student who has an interest for international politics, international organizations and media studies in general. § Assignments Final exam (100%): the final exam will take place in January. It will last 2 hours and consist in 4 questions (5 pts each) related to the books/movies under study as well as the collective discussion held for each session (see below). The questions will all combine both factual and analytical elements. Collective discussion: during the first session, students are asked to constitute several teams. The teams will remain the same until the end of the semester. At the beginning of each class, each team will be provided a question to discuss for 15-20’. Each team then designate a spokesperson whose task is to sum up the discussion of the team in front of the other teams. 1 There should be different spokespersons each week so everyone gets a chance to speak in public. The readings are mandatory for each session in order to prepare for both the collective discussion and the written exams. They are available online through the Chamilo platform.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Netflix
    Written evidence submitted by Netflix Submission to Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee inquiry The future of Public Service Broadcasting June 2020 Netflix in the UK 1. Netflix is a streaming subscription video on demand (SVoD) service that allows customers to watch a wide variety of TV shows, films, documentaries, and more over the internet and ad-free on any one of thousands of internet-connected devices at a time and place of their choice. We are a global service, offered in 190 countries with close to 180 million subscribers, of whom over 12 million are in the UK. 2. The UK is one of Netflix’s top three locations for production globally, along with the U.S. and Canada. In 2019 we invested over £400m1 here in local content, with over 50 different shows in production including co-productions with the public service broadcasters and in total over £500m in UK production - a third of all our production in Europe. We expect our investment here to continue growing; our long-term commitment to the UK creative community and our intention to increase our investment in production is also reflected in our announcement last year that we are creating a dedicated production hub in the UK, based at Shepperton Studios.2 3. Localised content is increasingly a priority for our business, both in the UK and around the world. Since 2019 we have appointed several UK-based commissioners overseeing scripted and unscripted content, including drama, comedy, factual, and kids and family - all of whom built their careers in the UK film and TV industry, including with the PSBs.

Throughout the decades, Black people have suffered at the hands of oppressors and despite it being 2021, there is still no justice. As we attempt to eradicate our contribution to these oppressive systems in our professional world, it is important to also increase our knowledge and support for the Black community through resources, such as books, podcasts, films, and tv shows. These texts illuminate the powerful roles Black people have held throughout this oppressive history, as well as celebrate Black joy.

  • Netflix Creates Uk Production Hub at Shepperton Studios
    NETFLIX CREATES UK PRODUCTION HUB AT SHEPPERTON STUDIOS London, 2pm, 3 July 2019: Netflix has announced it is creating a dedicated production hub, featuring 14 sound stages, workshops and office space, at Shepperton Studios in the United Kingdom. Netflix and its partners will produce new and existing TV series and feature films at the iconic Studios, which are owned by the Pinewood Group. The first Netflix original production to film at Shepperton will be The Old Guard, starring Charlize Theron and Kiki Layne, and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. The movie, which is being produced by Skydance Media, Denver and Delilah and Marc Evans, is an action drama based on the comic book series created by author Greg Rucka and illustrator Leandro Fernández. This is part of Netflix’s long-term commitment to the UK creative community. In the last year alone, over 25,000 cast, crew and extras have worked on almost 40 Netflix originals and co-productions across Britain. These include Sex Education in Wales, Outlaw King in Scotland and The Crown at Elstree Studios and across the country. That number is set to increase in 2019, with productions such as Jingle Jangle at Arborfield Studios, Cursed at Langley Studios and The English Game -- a new series written and produced by Julian Fellowes -- which recently started filming in Manchester. “Shepperton has been synonymous with world class film for nearly a century and it’s an important production hub for the UK creative community today. We’re incredibly proud to be part of that heritage. This investment will ensure that British creators and producers have first rate production facilities and a world stage for their work,” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer, Netflix.
