  • Australian Multicultural Policy and Television Drama in Comparative Contexts
    Australian multicultural policy and television drama in comparative contexts Harvey May BA (Comm), BA, B Bus (Hons)(Comm), Post Grad Dip Ed A thesis submitted in 2003 for the award of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology Key Words Multiculturalism, Cultural Diversity, Television, Drama, Casting, Minorities, Australia, United Kingdom, New Zealand, United States. Abstract This thesis examines changes which have occurred since the late 1980s and early 1990s with respect to the representation of cultural diversity on Australian popular drama programming. The thesis finds that a significant number of actors of diverse cultural and linguistic background have negotiated the television industry employment process to obtain acting roles in a lead capacity. The majority of these actors are from the second generation of immigrants, who increasingly make up a significant component of Australia’s multicultural population. The way in which these actors are portrayed on- screen has also shifted from one of a ‘performed’ ethnicity, to an ‘everyday’ portrayal. The thesis develops an analysis which connects the development and broad political support for multicultural policy as expressed in the National Agenda for a Multicultural Australia to the changes in both employment and representation practices in popular television programming in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The thesis addresses multicultural debates by arguing for a mainstreaming position. The thesis makes detailed comparison of cultural diversity and television in the jurisdictions of the United States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand to support the broad argument that cultural diversity policy measures produce observable outcomes in television programming.

(Fotografías del sitio oficial de prisión a Adame Big Brither Australia y YouTube) AGENCIA REFORMA MÉXICO, DF.- Alfredo Adame quedó ayer sometido a dos juicios penales por presuntamente defrau- dar al Fisco con dos millones 328 mil pesos. Las jueces Cuarto y Quinto de Distrito del Reclusorio Oriente, Taissia Cruz Parcero y Ol- ga Sánchez Contreras, dictaron la formal pri- sión al actor, por considerar que la PGR ofreció los indicios suficientes de una presunta evasión de impuestos por parte del actor, productor y conductor. El acusado no será detenido y acudirá cada semana a firmar el libro de procesados en los dos juzgados porque la PGR le acusó en ambos casos de violar el artículo 109, fracción Cinco, del Códi- go Fiscal de la Federación, el cual no es grave. Gracias a esto, un juzgado de amparo le con- cedió a Adame las suspensiones provisiones con- tra las órdenes de captura, y por ello el actor no tiene en riesgo su libertad.
