Tel: 056 776 3837 WWW.KILKENOMICS.COM 2016 Welcome to the seventh edition of Kilkenomics - Europe’s first economics festival - which brings together some of the world’s leading economists, financial analysts and media commentators with some of our funniest, sharpest standup comedians. We’ve been called “Davos with jokes” and we wouldn’t disagree with that assessment. The standups put the economists under the spotlight to talk through vital issues such as the case for a universal basic income, whether the world can cope with Brexit, whether capitalism needs a new world war to survive, the dangers of mobocracy and what economic future is promised by the new US President elect. We’re also talking Russia, neo- liberalism, the New Left and the economics of sex. When we started this festival, the world was in the grips of what seemed an unprecedented economic crisis and we asked questions like “What the hell just happened?” Seven years on the crisis doesn’t seem so unprecedented, our audiences are better informed than before but the questions still remain to be answered and we’ve got the best people available to do just that. Our informal, entertaining formats invite our audiences to engage and enjoy. As we like to say: it’s serious, but it’s fun too! Jump into Kilkenomics now and engage with as many shows as possible, equip yourself with the information and insight we hope can help us all make smart choices for our futures, inform and entertain yourselves. HERE’S A TASTE OF WHAT THE PRESS HAD TO SAY ABOUT KILKENOMICS: “Davos with jokes” “Kilkenomics is just what economics “Lenny Bruce meets John Maynard Keynes” THE AUSTRALIAN needs: an event bridging the gap between BLOOMBERG academic analysis and the ordinary people “One of the oddest festivals anywhere, whose lives are turned upside down by “Wildly successful” comedy with a pint and a point” economic mayhem.” THE GUARDIAN UK SUNDAY TIMES THE ECONOMIST “I’ve been to lots of festivals and “An utterly bizzare idea but the public love it” “A little jewel where players manage to talk conferences, but Kilkenomics may be the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE human without being patronising” best. More than that: it felt like democracy.” THE IRISH TIMES Simon Kuper, FINANCIAL TIMES columnist “Having a laugh despite the gloom” BBC WORLD SERVICE WE’D LIKE TO THANK ALL SPONSORS FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF THE FESTIVAL IN 2016 PRINCIPAL SPONSORS FUNDING PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL MEDIA PARTNER 2016 SPONSORS MEDIA PARTNERS VENUE DETAILS 1 Cleere’s Theatre Bar 2 The Hole in the Wall 3 The Set Theatre 4 The Ormonde Hotel (Kilbride Suite) (Kings Suite) 5 Watergate Theatre 6 The Village Inn BOOKING DETAILS Box Office: 76 John Street, Kilkenny Tel: 056 776 3837 Online booking now at WWW.KILKENOMICS.COM FESTIVAL TEAM Founder Directors: Richard Cook and David McWilliams Programme Director: Naoise Nunn Production Manager: Michael Burke Box Office Manager: Lilian Burke HAVE Festival Manager: Miriam Dunne Volunteers Manager: Tommie Ryan YOUR Festival Administration: Margaret-Mary Murphy Public Relations: Caoimhe Butler and KerryAnn Conway at Conway Communications SAY: Web and Print Design: RedLemonade.ie pitch into #kilkenomics Box Office Team: Brian Butler, Garret Brennan, Niamh Moyles, Ralph Sheehan, Paula McDonald for the latest festival shenanigans!

  • What to Expect from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's U.S. Visit
    What to Expect from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s U.S. Visit By Caroline Wadhams and Aarthi Gunasekaran September 25, 2013 Despite ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, the Obama administration continues its steady pursuit of a foreign policy makeover, reorienting its attention and resources to the Asia-Pacific—specifically India. Following a number of high-level visits by American officials to India, including Vice President Joe Biden’s trip in July and Secretary of State John Kerry’s trip in June, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will meet with President Barack Obama tomorrow during his second official trip to Washington as prime minister.1 During the meeting, President Obama and Prime Minister Singh will likely focus on the following six issues in the U.S.-India relationship: • Trade and investment • Defense cooperation • The U.S.-India civil nuclear deal • Climate change and clean energy • Immigration reform • Security issues and the strategic partnership 1 Center for American Progress | What to Expect from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s U.S. Visit For the Obama administration, underlying these discussions will be the unmet expecta- tions of the U.S.-India relationship, a relationship envisioned as the cornerstone of the U.S. rebalance to the Asia-Pacific. While there were high hopes following the U.S.-India civil nuclear deal in 2008 and Prime Minister Singh’s 2009 visit to Washington, many U.S. policymakers have been disappointed by the Indian government’s failure to deepen the partnership by implementing the civil nuclear deal, making India more open to investment opportunities for U.S.

  • Mock Filipino, Hawai'i Creole, and Local Elitism
    Pragmatics 21:3.341-371 (2011) International Pragmatics Association DOI: 10.1075/prag.21.3.03hir IS DAT DOG YOU’RE EATING?: MOCK FILIPINO, HAWAI‘I CREOLE, AND LOCAL ELITISM Mie Hiramoto Abstract This paper explores both racial and socioeconomic classification through language use as a means of membership categorization among locals in Hawai‘i. Analysis of the data focuses on some of the most obvious representations of language ideology, namely, ethnic jokes and local vernacular. Ideological constructions concerning two types of Filipino populations, local Filipinos and immigrant Filipinos, the latter often derisively referred to as “Fresh off the Boat (FOB)” are performed differently in ethnic jokes by local Filipino comedians. Scholars report that the use of mock language often functions as a racialized categorization marker; however, observations on the use of Mock Filipino in this study suggest that the classification as local or immigrant goes beyond race, and that the differences between the two categories of Filipinos observed here are better represented in terms of social status. First generation Filipino immigrants established diaspora communities in Hawai‘i from the plantation time and they slowly merged with other groups in the area. As a result, the immigrants’ children integrated themselves into the local community; at this point, their children considered themselves to be members of this new homeland, newly established locals who no longer belonged to their ancestors’ country. Thus, the local population, though of the same race with the new immigrants, act as racists against people of their own race in the comedy performances. Keywords: Hawai‘i Creole; Mock Filipino; Stylization; Ethnic jokes; Mobility.

A-Level-Ready - Extended economic analysis, using data and applying your knowledge - Task to submit 6. Extension Tasks - A range of options to develop your interests further 1. Welcome Welcome to the A level Economics course. Most students who choose to study A level Economics are new to the subject; no prior learning or knowledge of economics is required to be successful. The study of economics complements a range of other a level subjects, such as history, geography, business, mathematics and the Sciences, and the way of thinking that you will develop as you study economics will help you to interpret issues you meet in many of these subjects. Studying economics can provide you with important employability skills and is good preparation for those wishing to progress to higher education. If you are thinking about studying economics at university, it's a good idea to think about studying mathematics as one of your A levels. Economics is the study of how choices are made in the use of scarce resources to provide goods and services. Although you're not expected to know about the economy in detail at the start of the course, it won't all be new to you. Economics is largely about people and their economic choices.

More specifically, the creation and international expansion of audiovisual services in the digital arena by US-based companies has taken place. Their global aims have boosted transnational market penetration strategies that have taken advantage of the global architecture of the World Wide Web. With the exception of China, which prohibits their entry and has developed its own services, the rest of the world has seen how US-based transnational operators have begun to act in their markets attracting clients. Subscription video on demand (SVOD) audiovisual services currently lead this process. According to Statista (2021), there were 642 million subscribers to this type of service in 2019 –compared to the 508.44 million registered the previous year– and it is expected that they will surpass 1 100 million by 2025. Within this context, Netflix has become the main transnational company providing SVOD services, 1 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain. [email protected] 2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain.
