    ACRONYM 13 - Round 6 Written by Danny Vopava, Erik Nelson, Blake Andert, Rahul Rao-Potharaju, William Golden, and Auroni Gupta 1. This album was conceived after the master tapes to the album Cigarettes and Valentines were stolen. A letter reading "I got a rock and roll girlfriend" is described in a multi-part song at the end of this album. A teenager described in this albumis called the "son of rage and love" and can't fully remember a figure he only calls (*) "Whatsername." A "redneck agenda" is decried in the title song of this album, which inspired a musical centered onthe "Jesus of Suburbia." "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" appears on, for 10 points, what 2004 album by Green Day? ANSWER: American Idiot <Nelson> 2. In 1958, Donald Duck became the first non-human to appear in this TV role, which was originated by Douglas Fairbanks and William C. DeMille. James Franco appeared in drag while serving in this role, which went unfilled in 2019 after (*) Kevin Hart backed out. The most-retweeted tweet ever was initiated by a woman occupying this role, which was done nine other times by Billy Crystal. While holding this role in 2017, Jimmy Kimmel shouted "Warren, what did you do?!" upon the discovery of an envelope mix-up. For 10 points, name this role whose holder cracks jokes between film awards.

  • Baltruschat-MIA
    Doris Baltruschat THE NEW MEDIA GEOGRAPHY OF GLOBAL AND LOCAL PRODUCTION NETWORKS Abstract This article highlights the networked collaborations, across non-traditional lines, between producers, broadcasters, digital content developers and telecommunications providers for the development of content across multiple platforms. Through using global production technologies such as co-production and formatting, they are able to localise program narratives with the participation of audiences, online communities, and media events — all of which increase the value of the overall program package for the international market. Global film and television programs are based on production ecologies that interconnect vast networks of producers, broadcasters and digital content developers. These partnerships include collaborations on multi-platform media to stem the growing ‘audience coup’ emanating from file-sharing sites and to exploit social networking aspects that surround popular television programs. In particular, professional media producers take advantage of the reciprocal relationship between actual and virtual communities that coalesce around television shows in the form of real live media events, program participation, public display, online chat rooms and blogs. While these immersive environments extend a global media product’s reach into specific local contexts, they also provide the blueprint for its successful adaptation in different markets around the world. This article explores the intersection between professional media practices and active public engagement with television programs: the dichotomy of media localisation and globalisation is at the core of the investigation. Public involvement in television programs runs the gamut of attending open auditions and participating in television programs to creating a plethora of user-generated content. These activities add value to programs because locally acquired expertise becomes part of a production matrix that is reapplied to the development of new media products.

  • Popular Music Making in Canada and Greece Global Music, Local Culture: Popular Music Making In
    POPULAR MUSIC MAKING IN CANADA AND GREECE GLOBAL MUSIC, LOCAL CULTURE: POPULAR MUSIC MAKING IN CANADA AND GREECE By ATHENA ELAFROS, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies In Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements For the Degree Doctor ofPhilosophy McMaster University (c) Copyright by Athena Elafros, January 20 II DOCTOR OF PIDLOSOPHY (20 11) McMaster University (Sociology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Global Music, Local Culture: Popular Music Making in Canada and Greece AUTHOR: Athena Elafros, B.A. (University ofToronto), M.A. (Queen's University) SUPERVISOR: Graham Knight COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Tina Fetner Christina Baade NUMBER OF PAGES: vii~ 242 11 Abstract The purpose ofthis dissertation is to better theorize the relationship between cultural production, popular music and cultural identity. While broadly examining popular music, the primary focus ofthis study is on black popular music making and hip hop cultures in Canada and Greece. My dissertation focuses upon three distinct case studies in Toronto, Canada; Athens, Greece; and Vancouver, Canada. Each ofthe three case studies in my dissertation contributes, and offers revisions, to Bourdieusian studies ofcultural production. Whether it is DJs in Toronto trying to assert authorship and legitimate their roles as musicians, an MC in Vancouver trying to conceptualize a new mode ofdiasporic belonging for Greeks ofthe diaspora, or male hip hop practitioners in Athens utilizing their historical knowledge ofthe Greek field of popular music to authenticate their pursuits in rap music, each case study provides a different lens through which to understand how popular music makers use music in their quests for cultural legitimacy, diasporic belonging and/or authentication.
