  • Baird, Alison 2019
    IF YOU’RE ON THE OUTSIDE, YOU’RE IN: THE INFAMOUS RED VELVET ROPE CULTURE AT STUDIO 54 A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By Alison P. Baird Washington, D.C. April 15, 2019 IF YOU’RE ON THE OUTSIDE, YOU’RE IN: THE NOTORIOUS RED VELVET ROPE CULTURE AT STUDIO 54 Alison P. Baird Thesis Adviser: Ellen Gorman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Studio 54, the infamous New York City discotheque open from 1977 to 1980, was a notorious site in New York City for not only being one of the most sought-after venues in nightlife, but also for its ruthless red velvet rope culture. Disco was a defining artifact in American culture in the 1970s and greatly reflected the social and political atmosphere across the country. With the culmination of various political upheavals such as the Vietnam War and the Watergate Scandal, many Americans simply wanted to party, use drugs, and openly explore their sexuality. Studio 54 was, arguably, the most influential and well-known of the many discos— admired and loathed by those within and on the outside of the disco scene. Many outsiders and eager spectators observed the club as exclusionary and dictator-like. This thesis deconstructs the red velvet rope culture and analyzes the innate behavior and qualities of the clubbers with the aim to understand how these people contributed to the tremendous popularity of Studio 54. Gossip columns, newspapers, tabloids and archived footage offers compelling insight to the way of the disco-door as well as the qualities and behaviors that club goers possessed as such to gain admission.

  • The Art of the Rubell Family Collection Miami
    http://onforb.es/1ZTpXgL Tom Teicholz Contributor I write about culture and the cult of luxury Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. LIFESTYLE 1/27/2016 @ 3:29PM 365 views The Art of the Rubell Family Collection Miami The Rubell Family Collection (RFC) in Miami, housed in a former DEA warehouse, is remarkable in many respects. First and foremost, as it name advertises, it is the collection of one family, Donald and Mera Rubell and their two adult children Jason and Jennifer collected over the last half century, that continues to grow with the involvement of the next generation (one of whom is an artist herself). The Rubells were also instrumental in Art Basel deciding to hold its American event in Miami — which cemented Miami’s status as an art destination. As a collector driven institution they face many of the potential conflicts of interest inherent in exhibiting work they own and lending it to other art institutions. Yet they have also made accessible their 40,000 volume library accessible as well as being the anchor for the now very hip Wynwood Design District. The Rubells started collecting art shortly after marrying in the 1960s. Donald was a Doctor whose brother Steve Rubell was the co-founder and co-owner of Studio 54. This brought the Rubells into the orbit of many of the young artists who were part of the Studio 54 zeitgeist, including Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Cindy Sherman. As the years went on, they continued to collect those artists that interested them, at one point purchasing one artwork a week for several decades.

  • An Exploratory Study of Global and Local Discourses on Social Media Regulation
    Global Media Journal German Edition From the field An Exploratory Study of Global and Local Discourses on Social Media Regulation Andrej Školkay1 Abstract: This is a study of suggested approaches to social media regulation based on an explora- tory methodological approach. Its first aim is to provide an overview of the global and local debates and the main arguments and concerns, and second, to systematise this in order to construct taxon- omies. Despite its methodological limitations, the study provides new insights into this very rele- vant global and local policy debate. We found that there are trends in regulatory policymaking to- wards both innovative and radical approaches but also towards approaches of copying broadcast media regulation to the sphere of social media. In contrast, traditional self- and co-regulatory ap- proaches seem to have been, by and large, abandoned as the preferred regulatory approaches. The study discusses these regulatory approaches as presented in global and selected local, mostly Euro- pean and US discourses in three analytical groups based on the intensity of suggested regulatory intervention. Keywords: social media, regulation, hate speech, fake news, EU, USA, media policy, platforms Author information: Dr. Andrej Školkay is director of research at the School of Communication and Media, Bratislava, Slovakia. He has published widely on media and politics, especially on political communication, but also on ethics, media regulation, populism, and media law in Slovakia and abroad. His most recent book is Media Law in Slovakia (Kluwer Publishers, 2016). Dr. Školkay has been a leader of national research teams in the H2020 Projects COMPACT (CSA - 2017-2020), DEMOS (RIA - 2018-2021), FP7 Projects MEDIADEM (2010-2013) and ANTICORRP (2013-2017), as well as Media Plurality Monitor (2015).

  • Image and Self-Representation
    Veszelszki, Ágnes (ELTE) Image and Self-representation Giving people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.1 1. Introduction The involvement of image information is commonly said to be an accessory of digital change (see: Schlobinski 2009: 6). Visuality has a much more important role in our days than it had in the earlier periods of communication history. Just have a look at the graphical user interface of computer programmes, the layout of web pages, texts full of smileys and the torrent of pictures shared on social networking pages. This paradigm shift in the wake of the Gutenberg Galaxy is termed by Gottfried Boehm as the “Iconic Turn” (Boehm 1994). With the spread of visual communication technologies, visual communication itself is getting more and more common, too (Nyíri 2003: 273). In fact, some speak about the omnipresence of pictures (“Omnipräsenz der Bilder”; Maar 2006). Images are not under the control of consciousness, they bypass our minds and influence our thinking and emotions through their suggestive power (Giulani 2006: 185). Profile pictures on social networking websites fall into a peculiar category. It’s an open secret that our photos uploaded to such websites are not only viewed by our friends and family members but also by our present or future employer. A British survey, which was carried out by the People Search website, polled almost one thousand HR managers asking them if they inspected their employee-to-be’s photos shared on the internet before contracting them. One third of the British managers said that they regularly viewed their colleagues’ photos and internet posts, and they found this method of gathering information quite important before hiring a new employee.

Recent studies have shown that in spite of earlier visions about the “death of distance”, physical proximity is still a major factor in social tie formation and maintenance in virtual social networks. Yet, it is unclear, what are the characteristics of the distance dependence in online social networks. In order to explore this issue the complete network of the former major Hungarian online social network is analyzed.
