Hollywood Planet: Global Media and the Competitive Advantage of Narrative Transparency (Routledge Communication Series) Details

Hollywood Planet: Global Media and the Competitive Advantage of Narrative Transparency (Routledge Communication Series) Description

The popularity of American television programs and feature films in the international marketplace is widely recognized but scarcely understood. Existing studies have not sufficiently explained the global power of the American media nor its actual effects. In this volume, Scott Robert Olson tackles the issue head on, establishing his thesis that the United States’ competitive advantage in the creation and global distribution of popular taste is due to a unique mix of cultural conditions that are conducive to the creation of “transparent” texts–narratives whose inherent polysemy encourage diverse populations to read them as though they are indigenous. Olson posits that these narratives have meaning to so many different cultures because they allow viewers in those cultures to project their own values, archetypes, and tropes into the movie or television program in a way that texts imported from other cultures do not, thus enabling the import to function as though it were an indigenous product.

As an innovative volume combining postcolonial and postmodern theory with global management strategic theory, Hollywood Planet is one of the first studies that attempts to account theoretically for numerous recent ethnographic studies that suggest different interpretations of television programs and film by a variety of international audiences. Relevant to studies in media theory and other areas of the communication discipline, as well as anthropology, sociology, and related fields, Hollywood Planet contains a powerful and original argument to explain the dominance of American media in the global entertainment market.

The Great Cooper River Bridge Details

The Great Cooper River Bridge Description

On a hot summer day in 1929, the citizens of Charleston, South Carolina, participated in one of the largest celebrations in the city’s history-the opening of the Cooper River Bridge. After years of quarrels, financial obstructions, and political dogfights, the great bridge was completed, and for the first time, Charleston had a direct link to the north. From the doldrums of the Depression to the growth of the 1990s, the Cooper River Bridge played a vital role in Charleston’s transformation from an impoverished, isolated city to a vibrant and prosperous metropolis.

Now obsolete and no longer adequately serving the needs of the Charleston area, the “old” Cooper River Bridge, and the “new” Silas N. Pearman Bridge-the Cooper River Bridge’s larger sister structure that was erected in 1966-will be replaced. Funding, design, and construction are presently underway to replace the old structure with a single, modern bridge. The two original bridges have become true emblems of Charleston, much like the Eiffel Tower of Paris or the Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco. With their removal, Charleston will lose two of its most significant landmarks.

This vast change in the city’s skyline is sure to evoke memories from Charlestonians and visitors who have developed a special relationship with the old bridge. In addition to these reminiscences, the Cooper River Bridge has its own story-one of ambitious men and their dreams of profit, and of a city’s dreams of prosperity. Upon its completion, the Cooper River Bridge was a grand symbol of Charleston’s vision for the future, and the bridge recalls many significant themes in the modern history of the city.

The Great Cooper River Bridge provides the complete history of this architectural icon, exploring how early twentieth-century Charleston helped shape the bridge, and how the bridge subsequently shaped the city. With more than eighty photographs, this illustrated volume documents a remarkable engineering feat and a distinctive structure before it becomes a memory.

Get Lucky Details

Get Lucky Description

With a backdrop of greedy corporations, beautiful women and punishing Santa Ana winds, Get Lucky is a wild ride through the uneven streets of Hollywood at the dawn of the 21st century. Christian Wiley, once a reputable police detective, now swerves between personal demons, Hollywood’s decadent elite and the bruised hustlers who have been kicked in the teeth and into the gutter. “A hundred thousand bucks, all for killing an animal with less natural intelligence than a barnyard pig.” What would you do? For Christian Wiley the answer is simple. It’s time to pull up his threadbare cashmere socks, push some bourbon through his teeth and dust off his pistol. Either that, or watch the vampires at the bank dig their teeth into the deed for his house. A modern tale of immorality and excess, Get Lucky is a noir fiction that should feel right at home on your bookshelf somewhere between Raymond Carver and Raymond Chandler. “Not since The Grifters has someone so perfectly crafted a hybrid of modern & hard-boiled genres. Los Angeles glimmers like a piece of coal mashed into a smoky diamond. Get Lucky is a heartless & hopeful tale just aching to be turned into a movie.” John Doe Of the band “X”
