    EL FUNERAL SINOPSIS Lucrecia Conti, la actriz más importante del cine, el teatro y la televisión de España, ha fallecido. Asistimos al gran velatorio que el Ministerio de Cultura ha organizado en su honor en un teatro para que el público pueda despedirse de su admirada estrella. Sus nietas Ainhoa y Mayte ponen orden porque las muestras de cariños son inmensas. También aparece Miguel, un primo lejano cuyo parentesco real es desconocido. Todo cambia cuando los asistentes quedan encerrados en el teatro porque el fantasma de Lucrecia se aparece para despedirse a lo grande. Nadie da crédito a lo que sucede. El fantasma tiene asuntos que resolver incluso con su propio representante, Alberto Luján, que trata de contener como puede a la prensa que se agolpa fuera. La noticia está apareciendo en todos los medios de comunicación, y todos los programas de televisión están enviando unidades móviles al teatro para conectar en directo con Lucrecia... o lo que queda de ella. No hay precedentes de algo así y Lucrecia va a aprovechar al máximo este momento en el que por fin se le presta la atención que merece para solucionar, viva o muerta, todos sus problemas profesionales y personales: desde aceptar una serie de televisión en la que hace de muerta (sic), dejar que le hagan un muñeco de cera para el Museo de Ídem de Madrid o decirle a una de sus nietas si puede ennoviarse con un chico al que todos le ven cierto parecido familiar... Todo eso mientras está pendiente de que el público no pase hambre en este ratito de “encierro” y ofreciéndoles un maravilloso show.

    THE BROWN MOMENT IN TAIWAN: MAKING SENSE OF THE LAW AND POLITICS OF THE TAIWANESE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE CASE IN A COMPARATIVE LIGHT Ming-Sung Kuo & Hui-Wen Chen+ The Taiwan Constitutional Court (TCC) recently issued a landmark decision in Interpretation No. 748 (the Same-Sex Marriage Case), declaring the definition of marriage as a gender-differentiated union of a man and a woman under the Civil Code unconstitutional and setting the stage for Taiwan to become the first in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. This decision has been compared to Obergefell v. Hodges. However, reading Obergefell in the broad context of the gay rights movement and the role of judicial review in Taiwanese constitutional politics, we challenge this analogy. Due to the discrepancy between the social movement and the law in the fight for constitutional rights for gays and lesbians in Taiwan, the Same-Sex Marriage Case is Taiwan’s Brown v. Board of Education moment in her constitutional law and politics. To make sense of the law and politics of the Same Sex Marriage Case, we evaluate its political context and the text and style in its reasoning. We observe a discrepancy between law and politics in the pursuit of the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians in Taiwan. The rise of same-sex marriage to the top of the antidiscrimination agenda resulted from the continuous effort of gay rights activists, while the TCC watched this movement from the sidelines until the Same-Sex Marriage Case. This case thus mirrors Brown in two respects. First, the role of the TCC has been publicly questioned after its Brown-like contentious decision on the issue of same-sex marriage.

  • Public Media – Pubic Broadcasting System (PBS)
    SUPPORTING PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY MEDIA ACTION NEEDED We urge Congress to: Restore public broadcasting funding to the FY 2013 appropriation level of $445 million through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). Pass the Community Access Preservation Act (CAP Act) to preserve public, educational, and governmental (PEG) non-commercial cable channels for local communities. OVERVIEW—PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY MEDIA Public media consists of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), National Public Radio (NPR), and more than 1,000 local public broadcasting stations. Community media is comprised of public, educational, and government (PEG) cable access TV and community radio stations. Both public and community media have a long history of presenting local, regional, and national nonprofit arts programming, a great majority of which is not available on commercial channels. These organizations play a unique role in bringing both classics and contemporary works to the American public. All of these systems exist because of federal funding or legislation. TALKING POINTS— CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING In creating America’s unique public broadcasting system, Congress acknowledged public broadcasting’s role in transmitting arts and culture: “It is in the public interest to encourage the growth and development of public radio and television broadcasting, including the use of such media for instructional, educational, and cultural purposes.” And Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is the vehicle through which Congress has chosen to promote noncommercial public telecommunications. CPB does not produce or broadcast programs. The vast majority of funding through CPB goes directly to local public broadcast stations in the form of Community Service Grants. The federal portion of the average public station’s revenue is approximately 10–15 percent.
