    Branding Artists and Arts organizations Turn your brand into a destination you want to be. Master Thesis Sibelius Academy Arts Management Spring 2009 Zhanna Vilpponen 2(100) ABSTRACT × Thesis 1 Written work Title Number of pages Branding Artists and Arts Organisation 100 Author Semester Zhanna Vilpponen Spring 2009 Degree programme Programme option Master Degree Programme in Arts Management Abstract The objectives of this thesis was to find out if branding theory from commercial sector can be modified and applied to an arts sector without compromising artistic integrity. It also emphasise on encouragement of arts institution, arts managers and individual artists to apply branding principles in to their own organization or an individual art project. To justify to the arts community that branding is a very beneficial marketing tool that can explore their opportunity to enjoy the rest of their artistic life. To provide guidance on how and why to brand arts through good case examples about distinctive artists such as pop icon Madonna, great arts institution Victoria& Albert museum and former Finnish opera house the Alexander Theatre . To let arts organizations, art mangers and individual artists to understand why branding is important and how they can really apply it into practice. Brand is also an intellectual property and a financial asset, example of a great Finnish composer Jean Sibelius brand as an intellectual property whose wealth inherited by his family after death of the composer had been also introduced. The analytical research method of my study was qualitative. In my thesis I was not providing any statistical generalization of my findings within the frames of this project.

  • DIRECTED by MUSICIANS by Bryan Film and Music Are Two Different but Related Areas of Popular Entertainment
    MOVIES DIRECTED BY MUSICIANS by Bryan Film and music are two different but related areas of popular entertainment. One interesting way they intersect is in those times when musicians cash in the clout theyʼve built up to get behind the camera. Often itʼs a side project or an experiment, usually it receives some criticism as a vanity project, occasionally it becomes a new career. Here are a few examples of the odd creations that have resulted. 200 MOTELS (Frank Zappa [co-directing with Tony Palmer], 1971) Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention star as themselves in the most psychedelic and nonsensical movie on this list. Featuring Ringo Starr, Keith Moon and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. HUMAN HIGHWAY (Neil Young [co- directing with Dean Stockwell], 1982) Neil Young, Dean Stockwell, Dennis Hopper, Russ Tamblyn, Sally Kirkland and Devo (glowing red with radioactivity) are among the weirdos in this strange story of a diner next a leaking nuclear power plant. TRUE STORIES (David Byrne, 1986) David Byrne stars as a stranger visiting Virgil, Texas for the Celebration of Specialness and encountering oddballs portrayed by the likes of John Goodman, Spalding Gray, Swoosie Kurz, Pops Staples and the voice of Dom DeLuise. This has a soundtrack by the Talking Heads and is the only film on this list included in the Criterion Collection. UNDER THE CHERRY MOON (Prince, 1986) Mr. Rogers Nelsonʼs directorial debut is not as broadly appealing as Purple Rain, and upon release it tied with Howard the Duck for worst picture at The Razzies. As is often the case, they were disastrously wrong, and the movie holds up as a goofy, retro-styled romantic comedy with an all- timer soundtrack (released as the album Parade) including the classics “Kiss” and “Sometimes It Snows in April.” Itʼs shot in beautiful black and white by Michael Ballhaus (between two Scorsese movies) and features the film debut of Kristin Scott Thomas as the Prince characterʼs absolutely charming love interest.

Un film eccentrico, ironico, che racconta storie uniche e universali attraverso la vita quotidiana - buffa, a volte tragica, ma sempre terribilmente autentica - dei suoi protagonisti.

Nikola Zdeňková Vedoucí práce: Mgr. Michal Šimůnek, Ph.D. České Budějovice 2016 Prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem svoji diplomovou práci vypracovala samostatně s použitím pramenů a literatury uvedených v seznamu citované literatury. Prohlašuji, že v souladu s § 47b zákona č. 111/1998 Sb. v platném znění souhlasím se zveřejněním své diplomové práce, a to v nezkrácené podobě elektronickou cestou ve veřejně přístupné části databáze STAG provozované Jihočeskou univerzitou v Českých Budějovicích na jejích internetových stránkách. V Českých Budějovicích dne 30. ledna 2016 …………………………… Poděkování Ráda bych poděkovala Mgr. Michalu Šimůnkovi, Ph.D. za cenné rady, věcné připomínky a vstřícnost při konzultacích a vypracování mé diplomové práce. Anotace Diplomová práce se věnuje problematice genderových stereotypů, které jsou prezentovány v hudebních videoklipech soudobých populárních písní. Práce je rozdělena do dvou částí, přičemž první, teoretická část, je zaměřena na vymezení základních pojmů a definic, které jsou spjaty s teorií genderu, médii a mediální komunikací. Další pasáž práce se zabývá vyobrazováním genderu v mediálních sdělení s důrazem na reklamu a populární hudbu. Druhá část práce se zaobírá samotným praktickým výzkumem, který vychází především z Goffmanova pohledu na genderovou stereotypizaci v reklamních sdělení. V návaznosti na teoretickou část jsou analyzovány vybrané hudební videoklipy. Pozornost je soustředěna na identifikování a popsání mechanismů, prostřednictvím kterých jsou genderové stereotypy v populární hudbě reprodukovány. Zvolené hudební klipy byly analyzovány dle postupů zavedených v rámci tzv. obsahové analýzy. Výsledky analýzy ukazují, jakými způsoby je mužství a ženství ve videoklipech současné populární hudby zobrazováno.

  • Madonna E Seu Acervo Multiartístico: Os Fetichismos Visuais Na Obra Do Maior Mito
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação 41º Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Joinville - SC – 2 a 8/09/2018 Madonna e seu Acervo Multiartístico: os fetichismos visuais na obra do maior mito 1 pop do século XX Rafael Nacif de Toledo PIZA2 Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - UERJ Resumo O presente artigo pretende fazer uma retrospectiva da carreira da cantora Madonna, tendo como ponto de tensionamento os fetichismos visuais, conceito desenvolvido pelo italiano Massimo Canevacci em 2008. Nosso intuito é analisar o desenvolvimento cronológico da obra da cantora, relacionando suas iniciativas ao escopo teórico criado pelo sociólogo italiano, oferecendo pistas para decifrarmos os segredos de sua longevidade e do sucesso por trás de sua persona pública. Palavras-chave Madonna, cronologia, fetichismos visuais. Introdução Ser fã de Madonna é um privilégio e uma honra. Acompanhar a carreira de uma cantora, atriz, produtora, diretora de cinema, celebridade e personalidade é uma tarefa das mais prazerosas e dispendiosas. Montar uma coleção de objetos da Madonna pode custar alguns bons reais que poderiam ser investidos em outras coisas, como carros, roupas e outros itens de consumo. Mas deixando o lado mercantil de lado e focando na parte estética, o que Madonna nos apresenta é uma coleção de hits para as pistas de dança e baladas empacotados em formatos correspondentes às tecnologias do período, sempre com fotografias riquíssimas e figurinos ousados, tipologias inovadoras e designs de cair o queixo. Madonna e os fetichismos visuais de Canevacci Em 2008, Massimo Canevacci desenvolve “Fetichismos visuais: corpos erópticos e metrópole comunucacional” (Ateliê Editorial, 2008).
