  • Diversity and Unity in the TV Show Community
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2020 Diversity and Unity in the TV Show Community Anders, Lisann Abstract: What is a community? And what does it mean in the context of contemporary American popular culture? The TV show Community tackles these questions in a creative way. It looks at how communities are constructed but also idealizes them in a fictional way. The show is constantly aware of its fictionality and is thus self-reflexive in its representation of communities. It is aware ofitsown constructedness and of the way in which American life is represented. The aim of this article is to analyze what effects a (constructed) community can have on individuals by means of the group relationship inthe show. It is to be shown that a community is a major part in shaping and changing one’s individual values and thus has an effect on a person’s character and identity traits by drawing on Benedict Anderson’s concept of “imagined communities” and by incorporating director Joe Russo’s thoughts on the series. Eventually, it will be argued that the consequence of an individual’s change is a change of the dynamics of the community. Hence, by means of the effects of a person’s change by a community, the community itself is changed. That again means that such a portrayal on TV can serve as a role model of an ideal vision of a community and opens perspectives on possibilities of social change.

The firm represented Pathé in its arduous effort to get the recently released “Selma,” which depicts Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1965 landmark voting rights campaign, off the ground. The project faced many challenges, including the inability to secure licenses for copyrighted speeches whose rights were acquired for a different MLK film developed by Steven Spielberg for DreamWorks Animation SKG. Robert Darwell — who is head of transactions for Sheppard Mullin’s entertainment, technology and advertising practice group — worked with Pathé for roughly five years on the project, helping producers including Oprah Winfrey and Brad Pitt to review and clear the screenplay. “It was interesting to work with production on [working around the use] of Dr. King’s speeches in the film to make sure we weren’t violating anyone’s rights, but also remaining true to the spirit of the events,” said Darwell, who also worked with Pathé on negotiating the film’s distribution deal with Paramount Pictures Corp.

  • Year of the Horse Kim Cheng Boey
    The Year of the Horse Kim Cheng Boey The scene looks too sanitised, the river now cleaned up, tame, tepid, no longer the thrumming mercantile artery that once fed the heart of the nation, but part of a massive freshwater reservoir created by an ambitious dam project. He had no inkling on his last visit ten years ago that this was on the cards. Typical of the country. Things just happen overnight, with little discussion. The sea is now kept at bay by the monstrous Marina Barrage, and the river no longer breathes the tidal rhythms that once bathed the steps of the quays. Apart from a few converted into tourist boats that ply the unnaturally clean water, the flotillas of tongkangs and bumboats had been brought out to sea and scuttled. On his last visit the entire stretch of Boat and Clarke Quays had already undergone a sea-change, their two and three-story shophouses and godowns transformed as if by a megalomaniac magician into an anonymous chain of upmarket pubs and restaurants that can be found in any globalising Asian city. The General Post Office was then being cordoned off and turned into the five-star Fullerton Hotel, which now along with the rest of the riverfront, is illuminated at night. Yet, behind these bright lights reflected in the river in splinters and ropes of colours that negate its darker past, behind all surviving historic buildings and the bridges decked out for tourist display, he can hear faint echoes: the whole harbour- front with its intimations of the open sea, and the ghost of the old river with its tidal whispers, its weave of smells, an underlay composed of old incarnations of the surviving buildings and those demolished.
