  • Media‑Aktivisme
    Media‑aktivisme Tegn, motstand og organisatoriske prosesser. Paper Tiger Tv, New York: ”Smashing the myths of the information industry” Hovedoppgave innlevert som del av Cand.Polit graden ved Sosialantropologisk Institutt UNIVERSITETET I OSLO, Våren 2007 Berit Nilsen Bua 2 Kort sammendrag av oppgaven: Denne oppgaven handler om en gruppe uavhengige Tv produsenter i New York kalt The Paper Tiger Television Collective. De lager Tv programmer med et uttalt mål om å åpne opp for større deltakelse i offentligheten ved å demokratisere tilgangen til medieproduksjon. I utgangspunktet stiller de seg kritiske til at massemedier som de hevder er en storindustri med hovedfokus på økonomisk profitt. Denne holdningen gir gruppen et politisk grunnlag for samarbeidet. De hevder selv at de ikke støtter seg til en større ideologisk plattform. Likevel tar de utgangspunkt i at ”mainstream” media oppleves som sterkt ideologisk, disiplinerende og begrensende, og kjemper med egne aktivistiske metoder mot dette. Paper Tiger kaller seg ”alternative”, og hovedmål for oppgaven er å belyse hva dette innebærer. I USA på midten av nittitallet kom en ny telekommunikasjons-lovgivning. I den forbindelse fulgte jeg aktivistenes arbeid med å synliggjøre og diskutere regjeringens motiver for lovgivningen. Temaet for oppgaven er å se på hvordan samarbeidet i Paper Tiger foregår, og måten de organiserer seg på. Gruppen definerer seg selv som en åpen og fri enhet uten leder eller rammebetingelser, der medlemmene kan komme og gå, og gjøre som de vil. Ut ifra denne definisjonen er det kanskje et paradoks at gruppen fortsatt er i drift, etter 25 år. I oppgaven ønsker jeg å sette søkelys på hva som gjør at gruppen fortsatt eksisterer.

  • Access Television and Participatory Political Communication
    DEMOCRATIC TALK, ACCESS TELEVISION AND PARTICIPATORY POLITICAL COMMUNICATION LAURA STEIN Abstract This study draws on the participatory political philosophy Laura Stein is Assistant of Benjamin Barber to assess the contribution of public Professor at the access cable television to political communication in the Department of United States. In contrast to neo-liberal political theory Communication, which views government-mandated media access as University of San infringing on the speech rights of media owners, Barbers Francisco. participatory democratic theory positions direct and widespread access to the media as a vital aspect of democratic processes. Barber puts forward a set of concepts which describe the various functions of democratic talk and which provide a theoretical framework for understanding some of the ways in which access television functions as a political communication resource. Using interviews and original source materials, the study examines the political uses of access television by radical media projects, a type of media seldom granted access to commercial or public television. In their attempts to organise and empower communities that have been under Vol.5 (1998), 2 represented or excluded from mainstream political dis- cussions and debates, these projects perform many of the functions Barber attributes to democratic talk. Conclusions drawn from the study suggest that access television hosts a range of democratic speech which is largely absent from professional media industries and which merits the support and protection of democratic states. 21 In the late 1960s and early 1970s, citizens around the United States established centres for the production and distribution of non-profit, community-oriented television. The movement for public access cable television, or community television, attempted to realise what was widely perceived at the time as the democratic potential of cable television.

While the Institute remains strong in its traditional fields of East Asian social sciences, we have been growing in the direction of Asian humanities and Southeast Asian studies, and we have been innovating in the areas of digital humanities. And, while the Institute remains committed to deep local and regional knowledge, we have also been committed to updating traditional area studies by developing support for research and curriculum that link East Asia with the world and conceptualize East Asia in global terms. To support scholarship and teaching that examines East Asia through a global lens, the Institute suc- cessfully launched the Dorothy Borg Research Program this year.

  • Chris Hill Interviews Deedee Halleck 5/18/95
    Chris Hill interviews DeeDee Halleck 5/18/95 CH: We spoke before about activities that you were involved with in the 1970s, which eventually led to the formation of Paper Tiger TV and Communications Update as programs for public access cable in the late 70s, early 80s. Your experience with Shirley Clarke and her TP Video Space Troupe and with Videofreex and various education projects were very important in shaping your agenda. Your remarks have pointed to the value you found working collectively in the 70s and doing education with youth using film in the 1960s. DH: It probably started in the 50s because when I was in high school I worked at a commercial animation house in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I did inking and opaquing of animations for pork sausage commercials-Parks Pork Sausages . That was the first and last time I worked for the industry. It wasn't that bad of a place; I got 25 cents an hour and I worked my way up from being an opaquer to being an inker to being an inbetweener, which was traveling rapidly up the hierarchy of animation work. I was pretty good at it. I could probably have had a career in animation. But what blew me away at the same time was seeing Norman MCLaran's films where he actually painted directly on film. I knew what it took to make commercial images. That somebody could actually take a film and draw on it was enormously liberating for me. It completely demystified the whole process of animation. Actually the guy I worked with at the commercial house was really talented.
