Australian multicultural policy and television drama in comparative contexts / by Harvey May Queensland: 2003.

AUSTRALIA ; TELEVISION ; TELEVISION. AUSTRALIA ; SOCIETY AND TV ; SOCIETY AND TV. AUSTRALIA ; ETHNIC GROUPS ON TV. AUSTRALIA ; PIZZA [TV] (AT, Paul Fenech, 2000) ; PIZZA [TV] (AT, Paul Fenech, 2000-) Summary: "This thesis examines changes which have occurrred since the late 1980s and early 1990s with respect to the representation of cultural diversity on Australian popular drama programming. The thesis finds that a significant number of actors of diverse cultural and linguistic background have negotiated the television industry employment process to obtain acting roles in a lead capacity. The majority of these actors are from the second generation of immigrants, who increasingly make up a significant component of Australia's multicultural population. The way in which these actors are portrayed on-screen has also shifted from one of a 'performed' ethnicity, to an 'everyday' portrayal. The thesis develops an analysis which connects the development and broad political support for multicultural policy as expressed in the National Agenda for a Multicultural Australia to the changes in both employment and representation practices in popular television programming in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The thesis addresses multicultural debates by arguing for a mainstreaming position. The thesis makes detailed comparison of cultural diversity and television in the jurisdictions of the United States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand to support the broad argument that cultural diversity policy measures produce observable outcomes in television programming." -- ABSTRACTNotes: Presented to the Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology; Thesis (Ph.D.)--Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, 2004.

This interdisciplinary study of the media brings together essays by internationally accomplished critics to discuss the way film, television, music, and computer and electronic media are shaping identities and cultures in an increasingly globalized world.

TV milestonesSubject: TELEVISION ; TELEVISION. USA ; SOCIETY AND TV ; SOCIETY AND TV. USA ; HONEYMOONERS, THE [TV] (US, Frank Satenstein, 1955-1956) Summary: "The Honeymooners chronicles the lives of New York City bus driver Ralph Kramden and his wife, Alice, as they search for domestic happiness inside a confining Brooklyn apartment. As a stand-alone television program, it ran for just thirty-nine weeks from 1955 to 1956, but its characters appeared in long-running sketches on Cavalcade of Stars and The Jackie Gleason Show and the program has lived on for generations in reruns and home video releases. David Sterritt investigates The Honeymooners as an enduring and valuable index of societal norms and televisual tastes in the 1950s - a project made all the more intriguing by the diverse ways in which The Honeymooners both reaffirms and diverges from the typical broadcast idioms of its day."-- LIBRARIES AUSTRALIANotes: Contemporary approaches to film and television series.; TV milestonesISBN: 9780814333969Donation: This book donated by Senses of Cinema, 2013Contents: -- Introduction: "better living through TV" -- 1: "Principle of the thing": The honeymooners and postwar America -- 2: "Opportunity knocks, but": social and cultural issues -- 3: "Unconventional behavior": psychological perspectives -- 4: "You're in the picture": Honeymooners aesthetics -- Conclusion: "please leave the premises" -- notes -- bibliography -- videography -- index --
