It seems there’s little actor Hugh Jackman cannot do. In his latest film, Autralia , J plays a cattle wrestler called “The Drover” & finds himself entangled with an aristocratic lady played by fellow Aussie actor Nicole Kidman. - MAN IN THE MOVIE = Hugh Jackman : I won’t get another drover this late in the season. It will cost me my living. - WOMAN IN THE MOVIE = Nicole Kidman : Can’t you j ust round them up? [ with a supposedly aristocratic accent! ] - MAN IN THE MOVIE: Round them up? Yeah, round them up! - WOMAN IN THE MOVIE: You just go get them! - MAN IN THE MOVIE: 1,500 hundred head of cattle, s cattered out a million acres. We’re just me and my two men. That’s a great idea! Stupid cow! - WOMAN IN THE MOVIE: Mr Drover … I was… WOMAN: The movie, directed by Baz Luhrmann [Australian film director, born 1962], is a sweeping epic, but a little hard to describe. LUHRMANN??: It kinda starts high comedy, then it becomes high tragedy, there’s romance, there’s action… it’s pretty much that banquet of cinema WOMAN: The movie is also a social critique: for much of the 20 th century, Australia’s gvt removed many aboriginal children from their families, particularly those with fairer skin. These kids are commonly known as the “stolen generation. ” If you’re president -elect, like Barack Obama, who’s 47 yo now, if he was born in Australia, with 1 black / 1 white parent, he wd have been taken from his family, wd have been institutionalized, probably told his parents were dead, then made as European as possible = as white as possible, then taken out to basically serve in a menial task in European society.

Introduction This chapter looks at the way that gender and sexuality are performed and constructed within the series Pop Idol (2001-3) American Idol (2002-present) and the X Factor (2004-present). These shows were big hits in the UK and USA, propelling several acts to stardom, not least judge Simon Cowell, who features in all three. They offer the audience a chance to witness the creation of 'pop stars' by taking ordinary people and showing their transformations (Holmes, 2004) into celebrities. However, the process of star making at work in these shows offers strong discourses about what it means to be a man or a woman.

Interrogating the Politics of LGBT Celebrity in British Reality Television
Interrogating the Politics of LGBT Celebrity in British Reality Television Michael William Lovelock (Student number 3866084) Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies August 2016 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, reality television has been one of the most prolific spaces of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) visibility in British popular culture. Yet, in almost two decades of scholarship on reality TV, very little academic work has addressed the representation of LGBT identities within this medium, outside of a small set of makeover programmes. Where LGBT visibility in non-makeover reality shows has been analyzed, these representations have been approached as largely indistinguishable from fiction texts, their status as reality TV passing largely unaddressed. This thesis critically interrogates the relationship between reality television as a form, and the representations of LGBT identity found within reality programmes. Focusing on British reality shows broadcast between 2000 and 2014, this study explores how the generic specificities of reality television have shaped the ways in which LGBT identities have become visible within reality formats. This thesis argues that, in the figures of LGBT reality TV participants, tropes of authenticity, self-realization, celebrity and democracy bound to reality television itself have functioned as the discursive frameworks through which a series of normative scripts of LGBT subjectivity and LGBT life have been produced and circulated through British popular culture.

Changes in broadcast radio programming during the 1950s; the Compact Cassette during the 1970s; and the deregulation of media ownership during the 1990s are all examples of changes which have heavily affected the music industry. This study explores a similar but contemporary dynamics, examines how decision makers in the music industry perceive and make sense of the developments, and reveals how they revise their business strategies, based on their mental models of the media environment. A qualitative system dynamics model (the Music Industry Feedback Model) is developed in order to support the reasoning brought forward by the study. The model is empirically grounded, but is also based on previous music industry research and a theoretical platform constituted by concepts from evolutionary economics and sociology of culture. The empirical data primarily consist of 36 personal interviews with decision makers in the American, British and Swedish music industrial ecosystems.
