Ford Motor Company and its advertising agency, Young & Rubicam, Inc., in 1985 advertised the Ford Lincoln Mercury with a series of nineteen 30 or 60 second television commercials in what the agency called "The Yuppie Campaign." The aim was to make an emotional connection with Yuppies, bringing back memories of when they were in college. Different popular songs of the seventies were sung on each commercial. The agency tried to get "the original people," that is, the singers who had popularized the songs, to sing them. Failing in that endeavor in ten cases the agency had the songs sung by "sound alikes." Bette Midler, the plaintiff and appellant here, was done by a sound alike. Midler is a nationally known actress and singer. She won a Grammy as early as 1973 as the Best New Artist of that year.

    Renaming Blaxploitation by Looking at Today's Film

    Renaming Blaxploitation by Looking at Today’s Film: Black Heroes, White Villains, and Trump’s America ____________ A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of English University of Colorado Boulder ____________ Advisor: Adam Bradley Honors Council Representative: Jeremy Green Outside Reader: Kaifa Roland Additional Reader: Mark Winokur ____________ By Lauren Arnold Defense on April 8, 2019 Arnold 2 Introduction White directors, producers, writers, actors, and film studios have, of course, dominated the American film industry since its inception. Early depictions of Black people, from the 19th century minstrel shows of White actors in Black face and offensive or stereotypical animated films to the narrow typecasting of Black actors from the late 1920s onward, have been produced for the White gaze by White men. The Black community had thus never established a popularized aesthetic of its own or been the owner of that gaze that was catered to by film. It was not until the 1970s that Black film aesthetics were popularized with the creation of a genre referred to as blaxploitation. Blaxploitation has been recognized as beginning as early as 1966, but most critics mark its origin in the production of Melvin Van Peebles’ Sweet Sweetback’s BaadAsssss Song (1971) and its decline in the mid-1970s. The genre includes approximately seventy feature-length films, which were typically action movies, created by Black casts and crews for a Black audience — marking the first time in history that Hollywood studios made use of Black production. The naming of the genre separates these mainstream action movies that were backed and advertised by Hollywood studios and that garnered large Black audiences from Black independent films that were neither supported nor funded by Hollywood studios and did not have as large an audience.

    He Thinks He's Down: White Appropriations of Black Masculinities in the Civil

    He Thinks He’s Down: White Appropriations of Black Masculinities in the Civil Rights Era, 1945-1979 Katharine Lizabeth Bausch A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO November, 2014 © Katharine Lizabeth Bausch, 2014 Abstract “He Thinks He’s Down” examines the ways in which a significant and influential collection of white artists and activists in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, seeking an alternative to hegemonic white middle-class masculinity, appropriated imaginary black masculinities into their lives and work. The dissertation demonstrates that during the civil rights era images of black men circulated widely in U.S. popular culture, in part because of the acceleration of the black freedom struggle. Media depictions of black men engaging in struggles for civil rights, integration, self-determination, and the end of white supremacy highlighted their rebelliousness, strength, freedom, and power. In this same moment, many white middle-class men felt anxious, disempowered, insecure, and disillusioned with norms of middle-class manhood, especially in the context of a growing white-collar economy, the nuclear arms race, suburbanization, and political corruption. These emotions were expressed in various popular culture forums, including literature, political movements, magazines and films. “He Thinks He’s Down” argues that one strategy adopted by white artists and activists to
