No further distribution is permitted. Loose Coalitions: A memoir of Continuum, 1987–? Alec McHoul Towards the end of 1994, I finished my formal association with Continuum as it passed out of Tom O’Regan’s editorial hands and moved on to Brian Shoesmith and others at Edith Cowan, eventually to become an international journal published, first, by Carfax and later (as now) by Taylor and Francis. So most of this memoir of loose coalitions will be about those years, 1987-1994 when the journal was very much an in-house project at Murdoch University. That is, I’m trying to get to at least some of the core of what happened beteween volumes 1:1 and 8:2. Just for the record, those volumes were as follows: 1:1 Australian Film in the 1950s (ed. Tom O’Regan, 1987) 1:2 Film, TV and the Popular (ed. Philip Bell & Kari Hanet, 1988) 2:1 Asian Cinema (ed. Tom O’Regan & Brian Shoesmith, 1988/89) 2:2 Performance, Theory, Australia (ed.

Academic and industry analysis of these shortcomings has tended to focus on problems in production and financing but has given inadequate attention to the role of distribution and exhibition. This article examines how the commercial and cultural situation of Australian films is fundamentally shaped by the manner in which they are circulated and screened. It highlights the complex interrelations between the production, distribution and exhibition sectors and addresses the implications of these issues for contemporary film policy and practice in Australia. 1 Introduction The commercial performance of Australian films at local cinemas is often disappointing. While most are successful in getting a theatrical release, very few return more than a small proportion of their budget (see Film Finance Corporation 2008: 14, 30). Australian films account for a relatively low share of national box office admissions and revenue in a market that overall continues to boom (Screen Australia 2010a, 2009a).

  • Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies Second International
    GLOBAL INTERSECTIONS AND ARTISTIC INTERCONNECTIONS: ITALIAN CINEMA AND MEDIA ACROSS TIMES AND SPACES Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies Second International Conference Keynote Address Prof. Milly Buonanno Sapienza Università di Roma Intersections of local and global: transnational influences on the Italian road to serial TV storytelling The beginnings and the development of domestic TV storytelling are inextricably interwoven with the national culture, identity and heritage with which Italian broadcasting since its inception in the mid-1950s has established and entertained a close dialogue. It would however be impossible to comprehensively account for the history and the peculiarities of Italian TV drama within the framework of a territorial essentialism, without bringing into the picture the presence and impact of what might be called ‗the transnational factor‘. Television storytelling in Italy has in fact developed within a cultural space that was tipically porous and open to the influence of foreign art forms and media creative productions. National and non-national or transnational elements have met, co-existed and interacted frequently, albeit differently, within the television environment, helping to shape, maintain or modify the ‗italian-ness‘ of the home-grown television fiction. This holds especially true for what concerns narrative serialization – long considered a lowbrow form of popular storytelling to be resisted and rejected. Based on these premises, the speech will address the intersection of national and transnational along, in particular, the difficult road to serialization traveled by the Italian TV drama. Narratives that epitomize key moments in the history of television (La piovra, 1980s; Un posto al sole, 1990s; Gomorra - La serie, 2000s) will be explored to discern how this intersection has affected, without de-nationalizing it, TV storytelling in Italy.

  • Globalization and Culture
    Chapter 28 Globalization and Culture Toby Miller and Geoffrey Lawrence We live in a moment popularly understood as ``the global triumph of the United States and its way of life'' (Hobsbawm 1998: 1). Henry Kissinger goes so far as to say that ``globalization is really another name for the dominant role of the United States'' (1999). The Wall Street Journal trumpets this loudly: ``the US enters the 21st century in a position of unrivaled dominance that surpasses anything it experienced in the 20th. America's free-market ideology is now the world's ideology; and the nation's Internet and biotechnology businesses are pioneering the technologies of tomorrow'' (Murray 1999). For all the misery internal to that country (in 2000, even as 74 percent of college students expected to become millionaires, 44 million people had no medical cover), the US has international influence beyond the reach of other reÂgimes. Consider a mundane expectation of sovereignty ± that the modern state make its own stamps, featuring national images. Today, 70 countries, mostly in the Third World, have their stamps produced by the New York-based Inter-Governmental Philatelic Corporation. The dominant images are recycled icons from US popular culture (Mingo 1997). This US cultural imperialism is often understood as the apex of a wider phenomenon ± globalization ± that sees North American corporations wiping out the state system and obliterating the cultures of the world. If that is so, it is the outcome of what is known as the ``Washington Con- sensus.'' Dominant since the late 1970s, the ``Consensus'' favors open trade, comparative advantage, deregulation of financial markets, and low inflation.
