Empires of entertainment - Media industries and the politics of deregulation, 1980-1996 / Jennifer Holt
Titre : Empires of entertainment - Media industries and the politics of deregulation, 1980-1996 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jennifer Holt, Auteur Editeur : Biggleswade, Bedfordshire [England] : Rutgers University Press Année de publication : 2011 Importance : ix, 225 p.

MEDIASTags : médias aspect économique concentration dérégulation convergence histoire des médias Index. décimale : 330 Economie Résumé : Présentation de l'éditeur :
"Empires of Entertainment integrates legal, regulatory, industrial, and political histories to chronicle the dramatic transformation within the media between 1980 and 1996. As film, broadcast, and cable grew from fundamentally separate industries to interconnected, synergistic components of global media conglomerates, the concepts of vertical and horizontal integration were redesigned. The parameters and boundaries of market concentration, consolidation, and government scrutiny began to shift as America's politics changed under the Reagan administration. Through the use of case studies that highlight key moments in this transformation, Jennifer Holt explores the politics of deregulation, the reinterpretation of antitrust law, and lasting modifications in the media landscape.
Holt skillfully expands the conventional models and boundaries of media history. A fundamental part of her argument is that these media industries have been intertwined for decades and, as such, cannot be considered separately. Instead, film, cable and broadcast must be understood in relation to one another, as critical components of a common history. Empires of Entertainment is a unique account of deregulation and its impact on political economy, industrial strategies, and media culture at the end of the twentieth century."

Titre : Pornography : Film and culture Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter Lehman, Editeur scientifique Editeur : Biggleswade, Bedfordshire [England] : Rutgers University Press Année de publication : 2016 Collection : Rutgers Depth of Field Series Importance : 288 p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8135-3871-6 Langues : Anglais Catégories : MEDIAS:AUDIOVISUEL Tags : audiovisuel aspect socio-culturel États-Unis aspect économique Index. décimale : 306.4 Culture - sociologie Note de contenu : Présentation sur le site de l'éditeur :
"Porn is big business. By some estimates, it grosses more revenue per year than the entire "legitimate" film and entertainment industry. Most large hotel chains offer pay-for-view adult movies, many video stores have adult movie rental sections, and Internet porn sites have proliferated by the thousands. With porn so ubiquitous in mainstream American culture, why is it that when "respectable" people talk about this phenomenon, they act puzzled, as if they cannot imagine who would watch such worthless and meaningless smut?
In this collection of path-breaking essays, thirteen respected scholars bring critical insights to the reality of porn and what it can tell us about ourselves sexually, culturally, and economically. Moving beyond simplistic feminist and religious positions that cast these films as categorical evils-a collective preserve of sexual perversion, misogyny, pedophilia, and racism-the contributors to this volume raise the bar of the debate and push porn studies into intriguing new territory.
The essays are divided into two sections. The first reprints important debates on the topic and traces the evolution of pornographic film, including comparing its development to that of Hollywood cinema. The second part presents new essays that consider current trends in the field, including pornography's expansion into new technologies.
This book separates this compelling genre from the sensation and shame that have long surrounded and obscured it. It will be of interest to general readers and film scholars alike."
