Download or read book Eternal Bandwagon written by Byron E. Shafer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orthodox reporting and conventional scholarship focuses on the factors that distinguish each presidential contest and then attempts to explain them. This book rather, demonstrates that the politics of presidential nomination has been remarkably stable in the United States since the 1830s and right through to 2020. A common bandwagon dynamic, rolling once through party organizations and now through presidential primaries, permits a simple measure that has predicted nominations well before the decisive threshold was reached, while allowing precise comparisons across the years. So it becomes possible to separate the handful of things that matter for winnowing a large and diverse society into two individual presidential nominees. This funnel of causality moves through the occupational and careers seedbeds of a field of presidential aspirants, squeezing these fields by way of a small set of structural shapers, until party factions and factional struggles—not rules of the game, not candidate characteristics, not nominating strategies, nor all the other ephemera so beloved of commentators and observers—actually choose a given nominee.

Download or read book CinemaTexas Notes written by Louis Black and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Austin’s thriving film culture, renowned for international events such as SXSW and the Austin Film Festival, extends back to the early 1970s when students in the Department of Radio-Television-Film at the University of Texas at Austin ran a film programming unit that screened movies for students and the public. Dubbed CinemaTexas, the program offered viewers a wide variety of films—old and new, mainstream, classic, and cult—at a time when finding and watching films after their first run was very difficult and prohibitively expensive. For each film, RTF graduate students wrote program notes that included production details, a sampling of critical reactions, and an original essay that placed the film and its director within context and explained the movie’s historical significance. Over time, CinemaTexas Program Notes became more ambitious and were distributed around the world, including to luminaries such as film critic Pauline Kael. This anthology gathers a sampling of CinemaTexas Program Notes, organized into four sections: “USA Film History,” “Hollywood Auteurs,” “Cinema-Fist: Renegade Talents,” and “America’s Shadow Cinema.” Many of the note writers have become prominent film studies scholars, as well as leading figures in the film, TV, music, and video game industries. As a collection, CinemaTexas Notes strongly contradicts the notion of an effortlessly formed American film canon, showing instead how local film cultures—whether in Austin, New York, or Europe—have forwarded the development of film studies as a discipline.

Download or read book Guilt Trip written by Alex Hesz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-11-09 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'CSR', 'Green', 'Ethics', 'Fair Trade', 'Organic' are all buttons that marketers are keen to push right now to get us to engage us with their products. Why? Because, amongst many, these issues hit a nerve and our consciences can be comforted in the knowledge we are purchasing for the greater good. Guilt Trip talks to the history of the marketing communications story, analyses the journey of traditional advertising techniques past and present and tackles the exploitation of guilt and fear. The authors talk with leading marketers and advertising agency heads, politicians and consumers, doctors and historians to explore the pivotal role played by the Green phenomenon within this transformation. Going further, it asks how companies, politicians and individuals will react to this emerging but irrevocable change, and what will be the fate of those who react too slowly, or ignore it altogether.
