Download or read book Film Criticism in the Digital Age written by Mattias Frey and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, as digital media has expanded and print outlets have declined, pundits have bemoaned a “crisis of criticism” and mourned the “death of the critic.” Now that well-paying jobs in film criticism have largely evaporated, while blogs, message boards, and social media have given new meaning to the saying that “everyone’s a critic,” urgent questions have emerged about the status and purpose of film criticism in the twenty-first century. In Film Criticism in the Digital Age, ten scholars from across the globe come together to consider whether we are witnessing the extinction of serious film criticism or seeing the start of its rebirth in a new form. Drawing from a wide variety of case studies and methodological perspectives, the book’s contributors find many signs of the film critic’s declining clout, but they also locate surprising examples of how critics—whether moonlighting bloggers or salaried writers—have been able to intervene in current popular discourse about arts and culture. In addition to collecting a plethora of scholarly perspectives, Film Criticism in the Digital Age includes statements from key bloggers and print critics, like Armond White and Nick James. Neither an uncritical celebration of digital culture nor a jeremiad against it, this anthology offers a comprehensive look at the challenges and possibilities that the Internet brings to the evaluation, promotion, and explanation of artistic works.

Download or read book NOLLYWOOD S PATH TO ASCENSION lessons From Hollywood s Rise written by Oluwasegun Babatunde and published by Storibud Limited. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The science is strong, but a test is only as good as the men carrying it out," was said by Valery Legasov in the Chernobyl Mini-series. The quote resonates with me, as do the words, "Art pieces are as formidable as the quality of work, people, and resources drawn to bring them to life." Motion pictures are among the most radical art forms, and their role as sources of entertainment on both small and big screens speaks volumes. For more than a century, people have been making movies, and this trend will continue as long as people exist. In Nigeria's Nollywood, much has been accomplished, and much more is awaited. Therefore, the need to caution, educate, and take bold steps is greatly warranted. Nollywood's Path To Ascension (NPTA) aims to provide practical guidance and steps to reach the zenith.

Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth analysis of the unique structure of the Nigerian popular music industry.

Download or read book The Diaspora s Role in Africa written by Stella-Monica N. Mpande and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-07 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africans living in the diaspora have a unique position as potential agents of change in helping to address Africa’s political and socioeconomic challenges. In addition to sending financial remittances, their multiple, hybrid identities in and out of geographical and psychocultural spaces allow them to play a role as cultural and political ambassadors to foster social change and sustainable development back in their African homelands. However, this hybrid position is not without challenges, and this book reflects some of the conundrums faced by members of the diaspora as they negotiate their relationships with their home countries. The author uses her lived experiences and empirical research to ask: are members of the diaspora conduits of Western cultural hegemony at the cost of their traditional preservation and meaningful development in Africa? How does the Western media’s portrayal of Africa as the "Dark Continent" in the 21st century influence their decision-making process to invest back home? How could African nations’ governments manage their relationships with citizens abroad to motivate them to invest in their home countries? How do some citizen-residents in Africa and African Diaspora communities perceive each other in the context of Africa’s development? How could the African Diaspora collaborate with citizen-residents across growth sectors to impact Africa’s development? The book hopes to inspire agents of change within the diaspora and features diverse African entrepreneurs’ success stories and their experiences of tackling these challenges. The book will be of interest to aspiring entrepreneurs, researchers across African studies, and the expanding and vibrant field of diaspora research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how identities for West African women are created and recreated through the broad interplay of Nollywood film viewing on social and individual levels. Since many Nollywood films are freely accessible online, the role of online communities repurposes Nollywood films.
