  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • Performa Announces Pioneering Partnership with Lafayette Anticipation, Fondation Galeries Lafayette, Paris for Performa 15
    For Immediate Release September 3, 2015 PERFORMA ANNOUNCES PIONEERING PARTNERSHIP WITH LAFAYETTE ANTICIPATION, FONDATION GALERIES LAFAYETTE, PARIS FOR PERFORMA 15 PRESENTING WORKS BY ULLA VON BRANDENBURG, VOLMIR CORDEIRO, PAULINE CURNIER JARDIN, SIMON FUJIWARA, CHRISTODOULOS PANAYIOTOU, AND ERIKA VOGT New York—Performa, the internationally acclaimed organization dedicated to live performance across disciplines, announces a pioneering partnership with Lafayette Anticipation, Fondation Galeries Lafayette in Paris to launch during Performa’s 2015 biennial. Since its inception in 2004, Performa has been a leader in commissioning live performances by artists working in the field of visual arts. Likewise Lafayette Anticipation has established itself as a major player in producing ambitious new works by contemporary artists and designers since its creation in 2013. Both organizations strive to deepen this shared commitment and actively collaborate in mentoring and supporting artists to conceive, create, develop, and deliver stunning new works that will shape the visual art landscape of the twenty-first century. In anticipation of its 2017 Grand Opening in a building rehabilitated by internationally renowned architect Rem Koolhaas in the heart of Paris, Lafayette Anticipation organizes temporary peripatetic sessions. Part- workshops, part-showcases, these gatherings unfold as intense research programs that explore the various missions of the upcoming operational foundation, from its relationship to design and fashion to its creative online presence or the role of an artists’ library within the building. Since the beginning, performance has held a special place in the program, including projects such as the nighttime poetic street procession conceived by British artist Simon Fujiwara and the commission of a short film by French experimental ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied captured in the building’s construction site.

  • Turn Back Time: the Family
    TURN BACK TIME: THE FAMILY In October 2011, my lovely wife, Naomi, responded to an advert from TV production company Wall to Wall. Their assistant producer, Caroline Miller, was looking for families willing to take part in a living history programme. They wanted families who were willing to live through five decades of British history. At the same time, they wanted to retrace the history of those families to understand what their predecessors would have been doing during each decade. Well, as you may have already guessed, Wall to Wall selected the Goldings as one of the five families to appear in the programme. Shown on BBC1 at 9pm from Tuesday 26th June 2012, we were honoured and privileged to film three of the five episodes. As the middle class family in the Edwardian, inter war and 1940s periods, we quite literally had the most amazing experience of our lives. This page of my blog is to share our experiences in more detail – from selection, to the return to normal life! I have done this in parts, starting with ‘the selection process’ and ending with the experience of another family. Much of what you will read was not shown on TV, and may answer some of your questions (those of you who watched it!!). I hope you enjoy reading our story. Of course, your comments are very welcome. PART 1 – THE SELECTION PROCESS I will never forget the moment when I got home from work to be told by Naomi that she had just applied for us to be part of a TV programme.

  • PARIS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    PARIS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Paris | 2019 0 Regarded as the fashion capital of the world, Paris is the retail, administrative and economic capital of France, accounting for near 20% of the French population and 30% of national GDP. Paris is one of the top global cities for tourists, offering many cultural pursuits for visitors. One of Paris’s main growth factors is new luxury hotel openings or re-openings and visitors from new developing countries, which are fuelling the luxury sector. This is shown by certain significant openings and department stores moving up-market. Other recent movements have accentuated the shift upmarket of areas in the Right Bank around Rue Saint-Honoré (40% of openings in 2018), rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, and Place Vendôme after the reopening of Louis Vuitton’s flagship in 2017. The Golden Triangle is back on the luxury market with some recent and upcoming openings on the Champs-Elysées and Avenue Montaigne. The accessible-luxury market segment is reaching maturity, and the largest French proponents have expanded abroad to find new growth markets. Other retailers such as Claudie Pierlot and The Kooples have grown opportunistically by consolidating their positions in Paris. Sustained demand from international retailers also reflects the current size of leading mass-market retailers including Primark, Uniqlo, Zara brands or H&M. In the food and beverage sector, a few high-end specialised retailers have enlivened markets in Paris, since Lafayette Gourmet has reopened on boulevard Haussmann, La Grande Épicerie in rue de Passy replacing Franck & Fils department store, and more recently the new concept Eataly in Le Marais.

  • Infotext English-House History
    Galeries Lafayette isn’t just another department store. Galeries Lafayette’s enchanting world of fashion transforms shopping into pure enjoyment, making for an exquisite delight for the senses. The history of Galeries Lafayette, Paris In 1893 the cousins Théophile Bader and Alphonse Kahn decided to open a store in Paris selling the latest items the market had to offer. They began in premises measuring just 70 square metres in a shopping district near the Opéra de Paris Garnier and the station Gare St. Lazare. Business was formidable , and so in 1896 Théophile Bader, who hailed from Alsace, promptly decided to rent all six storeys of the building. Its address was no. 1, Rue La Fayette, a street named after the French general and politician Marquis de la Fayette. This marked the birth of the Grands Magasins “Aux Galeries Lafayette”! Trade in frills, cuffs, braiding, lace and haberdashery flourished so much that during the next few years the neighbouring buildings had to be purchased to allow for expansion. However, moving into a building especially designed and build for the Galeries Lafayette became inevitable. And that is why the new house at Bd. Hausmann was built in an orientalic-byzanti by the renowned architect George Chedanne A whole chain of stores emerged with branches in every major town and city in France – from Monoprix in Lille to the Bazar de l’Hôtel de Ville in Paris and Galeries Lafayette in Bayonne. And in 1996, Galeries Lafayette opened its first store outside France – on Friedrichstrasse in central Berlin. The history of Galeries Lafayette in Berlin In 1996 Galeries Lafayette branched out from Paris to Berlin when its first German store was opened on Friedrichstrasse, at the junction with Französische Strasse.
