Macciomei: Co-optation of the American Dream Independent cinema has been an aspect of the American film industry since the inception of the art form itself. The aspects and perceptions of independent film have altered drastically over the years, but in general it can be used to describe American films produced and distributed outside of the Hollywood major studio system. But as American film history has revealed time and time again, independent studios always struggle to maintain their freedom from the Hollywood industrial complex. American independent cinema has been heavily integrated with major Hollywood studios who have attempted to tap into the niche markets present in filmgoers searching for theatrical experiences outside of the mainstream. From this, we can say that the American independent film industry has a long history of co-optation, acquisition, and the stifling of competition from the major film studios present in Hollywood, all of whom pose a threat to the autonomy that is sought after in these markets by filmmakers and film audiences.

  • Kerkorian Slashes His GM Stake to Less Than 5%
    Kerkorian slashes his GM stake to less than 5% By Sharon Silke Carty, USA TODAY December 1, 2006 DETROIT — Billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian will shed an additional 14 million shares of General Motors stock further indicating that he's no longer interested in pressuring GM's management for change. Analysts are divided over whether Kerkorian acted as an agent of change for the ailing automaker or whether he was just a distraction. During his year and a half as a major GM shareholder, he managed to get his top lieutenant, Jerry York, named to the board and pressured the automaker to explore an alliance with Nissan and Renault. Every major stock sale or buy made by Kerkorian has made headlines. After Thursday's sale, he will own less than 5% of GM and will no longer be required to file statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding his shares. The Wall Street Journal, citing a person familiar with the matter, reported in Friday's edition that the billionaire investor sold his entire remaining investment in GM — 28 million shares — at $29.95 a share, a transaction worth more than $800 million. The newspaper reported that the shares were sold to Bank of America, a key lender to Kerkorian.. Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy noted that there was a 28 million share block trade in GM stock on the New York Stock Exchange shortly after the filing Thursday. "It appears that Kerkorian may now be out of his entire GM position," Murphy wrote in a research note. Carrie Bloom, spokeswoman for Kerkorian's Tracinda Corp., said she could not comment on the transaction beyond the SEC filing.

  • The Cost of Memorializing: Analyzing Armenian Genocide Memorials and Commemorations in the Republic of Armenia and in the Diaspora
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR HISTORY, CULTURE AND MODERNITY www.history-culture-modernity.org Published by: Uopen Journals Copyright: © The Author(s). Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence eISSN: 2213-0624 The Cost of Memorializing: Analyzing Armenian Genocide Memorials and Commemorations in the Republic of Armenia and in the Diaspora Sabrina Papazian HCM 7: 55–86 DOI: 10.18352/hcm.534 Abstract In April of 1965 thousands of Armenians gathered in Yerevan and Los Angeles, demanding global recognition of and remembrance for the Armenian Genocide after fifty years of silence. Since then, over 200 memorials have been built around the world commemorating the vic- tims of the Genocide and have been the centre of hundreds of marches, vigils and commemorative events. This article analyzes the visual forms and semiotic natures of three Armenian Genocide memorials in Armenia, France and the United States and the commemoration prac- tices that surround them to compare and contrast how the Genocide is being memorialized in different Armenian communities. In doing so, this article questions the long-term effects commemorations have on an overall transnational Armenian community. Ultimately, it appears that calls for Armenian Genocide recognition unwittingly categorize the global Armenian community as eternal victims, impeding the develop- ment of both the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian diaspora. Keywords: Armenian Genocide, commemoration, cultural heritage, diaspora, identity, memorials HCM 2019, VOL. 7 Downloaded from Brill.com10/05/202155 12:33:22PM via free access PAPAZIAN Introduction On 24 April 2015, the hundredth anniversary of the commencement of the Armenian Genocide, Armenians around the world collectively mourned for and remembered their ancestors who had lost their lives in the massacres and deportations of 1915.1 These commemorations took place in many forms, including marches, candlelight vigils, ceremo- nial speeches and cultural performances.

    © BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE - CD review To be published November 2009 edition [n.b. This is raw copy, and so may have some minor changes when published] NEHARÓT Works by Olivero, Mansurian, Komitas & Steinberg Kim Kashkashian (viola); with Robyn Schulkowsky (percussion), Tigran Mansurian (piano); Kuss Quartet; Munich Chamber Orchestra/Alexander Liebreich; Boston Modern Orchestra Project/Gil Rose ECM 476 3281 60:10 mins ECM sometimes perversely eschew liner notes, but this disc - showcasing Kim Kashkashian’s virtuosity - includes an illuminating essay on Armenian and Jewish lament by Paul Griffiths. Armenia’s sacred mountain, Ararat, dominates the view from Yerevan, yet it’s in no-go Turkish territory: Mansurian speaks for all his compatriots. He opens with over- strenuous portentousness, but moves towards an ever more intense expressiveness, with the viola singing out over delicately Stravinskian effects. Eitan Steinberg’s ‘Rava Deravin’ translates as ‘favour of favours’, and its version here - for viola plus string quartet - was made at Kashkashian’s suggestion: its gleaming harmonies are sometimes reminiscent of the Japanese sho mouth-organ, and its interplay of textures is exquisite. But the piece de resistance on this CD is Betty Olivero’s powerful and densely-worked ‘Neharot neharot’ (‘rivers, rivers’, denoting, says the composer, women’s tears). Scored for two string ensembles plus accordion and viola solo, this may only last 16 minutes, but it has the resonance of a major work. Opening with dark chords made even darker by internal dissonances, it develops a floridly mellifluous momentum through which viola and accordion cut their path in duet; its denouement is a brilliant rumination, at first veiled, then gradually more explicit, on the lament of Monteverdi’s Orpheus.
