    2017 3rd Annual International Conference on Modern Education and Social Science (MESS 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-450-9 Multiculturalism and Creative British South Asian Films Denise Tsang1,a,* and Dahlia Zawawi2,b 1Henley Business School, University of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading, UK 2Department of Management and Marketing, Universiti Putra Malaysia,Serdang, Malaysia [email protected], [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: Multiculturalism, Creativity, Competitiveness, British South Asian Films Abstract. Globalization has enabled countries such as the UK to attain multiculturalism; however, there is no investigation in relation to the advantages of multiculturalism at the film industry level. Multiculturalism is related to the Commonwealth immigration after the Second World War period. The introduction of new cultures into the UK has enabled the growth and development of successful global industries such as the British Urban Music and British Asian Film, which have prospered over time and have now become mainstream export-led industries. Why is cultural diversity significant towards the generation of competitive advantages within the British South Asian film sector? We will explore the country specific advantage of multiculturalism in the UK and their impact on creativity of screenwriters that has contributed to successful films in the industry. Introduction Multiculturalism has been defined by Libretti as a ‘careful attention to and respect for a diversity of cultural perspectives’ [1]. Berry explained the concept in terms of the maintenance of cultural heritage and the relationships sought among cultural groups as shown in the following figure [2]. Figure 1 shows that if a society enables individuals from cultural minority groups to maintain their cultural uniqueness while establishing relationships with the core cultural groups, multiculturalism is achieved.

Ninguna cultura crece aislada: cada comunidad, cada generación, cada disciplina, necesita el correlato de otras generaciones, de otras disciplinas, de otras miradas; de ese encuentro de culturas surge la riqueza de cada una de ellas y la posibilidad de comunicación y cooperación. El objetivo del presente proyecto es utilizar el cine europeo como útil de acercamiento a las diferentes culturas, etnias y formas de vida de los europeos desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar -artística, histórica, humanística y científica-. El cine no sólo es un forma de esparcimiento, diversión y ocio. Es además la revelación de todos los prodigios y conflictos humanos. Por eso es además una ocasión para el aprendizaje, y una herramienta de saber. El cine no sólo expresa sino que además configura las formas de percibir, de sentir, de pensar y de vivir, por eso es un arte eficaz y sugerente para acercar y dar a conocer temas diversos y universales provocando la reflexión y el debate. “El cine europeo va a las aulas” está dirigido en primera instancia a la formación de profesores y alumnos como fundamental fuerza Los cuadernos pedagógicos del proyecto didáctica dentro de las aulas.

  • Chapter 1 Politics and Theatre
    Notes Chapter 1 Politics and Theatre 1 Shellard (1999: 12-13) discusses censorship of works by Unity Theatre, a socia­ list theatre company based in London, during the 1950s. 2 For further information about the theatre companies of the 1970s, see Dreams and Deconstructions: Alternative Theater in Britain, ed. Sandy Craig (Ambergate: Amber Lane Press, 1980) and Stages in the Revolution: Political Theatre since 1960, Catherine Itzin (London: Eyre Methuen, 1980). 3 Rees (1992) quotes John Ashford, the first editor of Time Out, as saying he introduced the term in the late1960s, borrowing the term that had come to categorize the non-invited performances at the Edinburgh Festival. 4 Eyre and Wright state, 'Arts Council funding for alternative theatres in 1969/ 1970 came to £15,000; ten years later, funding from the Drama Panel alone amounted to £1.5 million' (284). 5 Recent surveys have shown clear trends towards political disengagement and falling confidence in the efficacy of the political system. A well-known and accessible source of survey information is the yearly report British Social Attitudes, published in London by Sage Publications and the National Centre for Social Research. The 18th Report, edited by Alison Park eta/. and published in 2001, included the information that 63% of respondents in 2000 thought the system of government needed improvement, compared to 49% in 1973. At the same time, 26% (compared with 19% in 1974) felt that parties 'are only interested in votes' rather than in the opinions and needs of constituents, and 19% (compared to 11 'Yo in 1991) felt that 'things go on the same' regardless of which party is in power.

What begins as a begrudged favor becomes a relationship that will change both their lives. Filmed on the street and in the house where Bennett and Miss Shepherd lived all those years, acclaimed director Nicholas Hytner reunites with iconic writer Alan Bennett (The Madness of King George, The History Boys) to bring this rare and touching portrait to the screen.
