Shared Leadership in a Filmmaking Company By Jesper Strandgaard December 2011 Page 1 of 47 Creative Encounters Working Paper # 68 Abstract How can organizations innovate and break with conventions without losing their legitimacy? Organizing for legitimacy (serving tradition and convention) often contrasts organizing for innovation and is often perceived a choice between two evils. This paper suggests that leaders can reconcile the legitimacy-innovation tension by combining and addressing them as two complimentary processes. An ethnographic case study depicts how shared leadership in a highly successful filmmaking company, confronts the legitimacy-innovation tension and, based on a combination of ‘out-of-fashion’ and contra-intuitive actions, their search for new solutions makes them balance between being a rebel or an outlaw. Keywords Filmmaking, Innovation-legitimation balance, Rebel identity Page 2 of 31 Creative Encounters Working Papers # 68 Rebel or Outlaw? Shared Leadership in a Filmmaking Company.

  • Transnationalism and New Scottish Cinema Simon Brown, Kingston
    “Anywhere but Scotland?” Transnationalism and New Scottish Cinema1 Simon Brown, Kingston University Fifteen years on from the moment that Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting (1996) fulfilled the promise of his earlier Shallow Grave (1994) and helped to launch what has become known as New Scottish Cinema, the critical debates which have accompanied its development find themselves at a crossroads. Prompted in part by the New Scottish Cinema symposium, which took place in Ireland in 2005 and looked back over 20 years of Scottish film, key writers have begun to critically assess the arguments which have circulated and to refashion the debate for the future. Initial models focussing upon the influences of first American and then European cinema have proved themselves to be inflexible in locating New Scottish Cinema within a global cinema marketplace, and furthermore have privileged a certain type of film, influenced by European art cinema traditions, as being representative of Scottish cinema to the exclusion of other more commercial projects. Not only is this ironic considering the inherently commercial nature of both Trainspotting and Shallow Grave, but also it had led to a vision of Scottish film which is more European than Scottish; more international than national. Recent scholars have begun to address New Scottish Cinema through the concept of transnationalism and it is the aim of this article to consider transnationalism as a way forward for critical debates about New Scottish Cinema through a case study of two films, both shot in the same location, one of which has been widely discussed and fits the more traditional critical model, Ken Loach’s Sweet Sixteen (2002), and the other of which has been largely ignored and is much more mainstream in its ambitions and economic context, Dear Frankie (2005).

    Different Trajectories: Europe and Scotland in Recent Scottish Cinema Ian Goode, University of Glasgow Since approval was given via a referendum in 1997 for the advent of the Scottish Parliament, the benefits and constraints of Scotland’s devolved role within and against the UK has, understandably, formed the primary axis of political debate, despite increasing evidence that Scotland, like other nations, is part of a globalised world. It has long been argued that nationalist Scotland exercises a preference for closer ties with a less imperialist Europe rather than with the colonially tainted state of the United Kingdom (Hechter 1975, 310). However, the precise meaning of Scotland’s role within a changing Europe receives little attention in mainstream debate (Imrie 2006). Meanwhile, the European Union (EU) is engaged in the ongoing process of enlarging and renegotiating its boundaries. Despite the paucity of cinematic texts that address ostensibly Scottish-European concerns, I want to consider the meaning of Europe through a focus on how a number of films have been written into critical accounts of Scottish, British and European cinema while also examining how this relationship is given meaning in recent films produced in Scotland, in order to map the different manifestations of the relationship between Europe and Scotland. The Idea of Europe Europe initially referred to a terrain that stretched westwards from the Aegean and was associated with Christendom, civilisation and the values of human rights and freedom (Ichijo 2004, 71-72). The political institutionalisation of Europe as the formation called the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957 meant that Europe increasingly became identified with Western Europe, as did an adherence to democracy and human PORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies, vol.

  • The Historicity of Barbour's Bruce
    The Historicity of Barbour's Bruce By JAMES HAND TAGGART School of Scottish Studies Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow A thesis submitted'to the University of Glasgow in May 2004 for the degreeof Doctor of Philosophy ii Acknowledgments Professor Geoffrey Barrow took time to discuss various aspects of Barbour's purpose in writing The Bruce. Professor Archie Duncan spent hours with me on several occasions. His knowledge of The Bruce is unsurpassed;he shared it most generously. He was patient when I questioned some of his conclusions about Barbour's work and its historicity. His edition of The Bruce, together with its extensivenotes, was invaluable for my analysis of Barbour. Drs. Sonia Cameron and Fiona Watson also gave generouslyof their time at crucial points. I am especially grateful to my supervisor, Professor Edward Cowan. He never failed to smile and brew up a coffee on the many occasionsI visited his room in the Department of Scottish History. He kept my enthusiasm going over a prolonged period, and helped to structure my work in a way that made the analyses more accessibleand the discussion more meaningful. He vigorously defendedme and my work against aggressive and unprofessional attack, and encouraged me to think rigorously at every point. I am glad, though, to observethat I finally convinced him that the carl of Carrick killed, but did not murder, the lord of Badenoch on 10 February 1306. Thanks for your guidanceand friendship, Ted. On a personal note, I am grateful to Fiona for starting me out on this journey, and to Mairi for sustaining me on the last few laps.
