Entertainment Industry

El sector de la radio en el Perú representa uno de los medios más importantes en las comunicaciones del país por su característica de inmediatez y por la mayor cobertura a nivel nacional. La radio es escuchada por la mayoría de las personas; por ello, es el medio de integración entre las diversas poblaciones y los sectores más alejados del país. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, su participación en el sector comunicaciones ha ido decreciendo, debido a la alta tecnología de los otros medios de comunicación, como la televisión y el Internet, y porque no han sido producidos programas innovadores y creativos, que capten la atención de la mayoría, como sucede con las radios internacionales, que han generado un nuevo concepto de hacer radio; por eso, este medio de comunicación ocupa el primer puesto en sintonía en otros países, como es el caso de la BBC de Londres en Inglaterra. Según las publicaciones del Consejo Consultivo de Radio y Televisión de 2011 y 2012, en el sector de la radio existe un conjunto de cinco grupos empresariales, que concentran una participación de mercado mayor al 80% del sector de la radio en el Perú. A través de la ejecución del presente plan estratégico, se proyecta alcanzar la visión propuesta para el año 2020, en la cual la industria radiofónica del Perú sea reconocida como el sector líder de los medios de comunicación en el país, que logre un alcance nacional y que se caracterice por promocionar contenidos de alto nivel cultural, educativo y de sano entretenimiento, con el cumplimiento estricto de la ética profesional y con responsabilidad social durante la difusión. Todo esto es posible mediante el uso multimodal de medios, que contribuya sostenidamente con el desarrollo educativo del Perú. La tecnología digital y los formatos innovadores y recreativos serán los que impulsaran el posicionamiento del sector radial como el sector líder de la comunicación en el país.

This study examines the socio-cultural and economic dimensions of aesthetic labor, focusing on the conditions that foster a climate of sexual harassment within the workplace and how workers engaged in such labor respond to it. The research interprets the interconnections between aesthetic labor and related concepts, particularly the embedded patriarchal codes within aesthetic labor. Through in-depth interviews with 37 women working in the entertainment industry, the study provides a descriptive analysis of how the dimensions of aesthetic labor contribute to creating environments that are conducive to sexual harassment. Findings suggest that women in this sector often perceive harassment as an inherent part of their jobs and develop various coping mechanisms. Furthermore, the study reveals that businesses frequently adopt patriarchal responses to harassment or disregard it altogether due to concerns about profitability and competitiveness, thus normalizing sexual harassment and perpetuating a hostile work environment. This study argues that, by situating aesthetic labor within broader discussions on work ethics, such labor practices not only commodify the female body but also intensify gender-based vulnerabilities in service delivery processes, particularly in the entertainment industry. The research calls for ethical and policy interventions to safeguard workers' dignity and counter the normalization of harassment, advocating for accountability that respects work ethics and promotes safer environments.

This paper explores the principles of teamwork within large-scale Hollywood productions, highlighting the essential contributions of often-overlooked crew members such as grips, gaffers, drivers, carpenters, wardrobe teams, prop masters, and catering staff. Drawing on firsthand professional experience as a Production Coordinator, the analysis identifies four pillars of effective collaboration: communication, respect for every role, adaptability under pressure, and leadership as service.
While public attention in Hollywood often focuses on actors and directors, the success of productions depends on the invisible workforce whose dedication sustains every project. Their labor provides a valuable case study for understanding how large teams function under extreme time and budgetary constraints.
By bridging academic theory with lived industry practice, the article argues that Hollywood crews exemplify teamwork principles relevant across industries, from corporate organizations to healthcare and education. Ultimately, the paper concludes that true professionalism lies not in recognition but in commitment,  a lesson the crews of Hollywood embody daily.

L’Ecosystème Entrepreneurial(EE) repose sur un ensemble d’acteurs interconnectés aux rôles complémentaires, qui soutiennent la création et la croissance des entreprises. Chaque pays dispose d’un EE spécifique, façonné par ses réalités locales, ce qui rend nécessaire l’adaptation des politiques de soutien à l’entrepreneuriat. Les programmes de coopération internationale doivent également intégrer cette dimension contextuelle en impliquant les acteurs locaux. Il est illusoire de croire qu’une politique unique puisse convenir à tous les pays, en raison de la diversité des infrastructures, des ressources et des cadres institutionnels. Dans le cadre de cette recherche, nous nous intéressons à l’un des éléments clés de l’EE : les programmes d’incubation et d’accélération d’entreprises, encore récents ou en phase d’expérimentation en Haïti alors qu’ils sont très développés aux Etats-Unis, Canada et dans certains pays européens. Nous analysons leur pertinence au sein de l’écosystème entrepreneurial haïtien à travers l’étude de deux cas : le programme Haïti Startup Talent, financé successivement par Fomento (Mairie de San Sebastián) pour la période 2018-2019, puis par la BID entre 2021 et 2023, sous la supervision du FAES ; et le programme BEL Initiative, porté par la Chambre de Commerce Haïtiano-Américaine de Géorgie.
La méthodologie adoptée repose sur une approche quantitative et qualitative, appliquée à deux programmes d’incubation en Haïti : Haïti Startup Talent et BEL Initiative. Sur une population totale de 175 start-ups incubées, un échantillon de 96 répondants a pu être constitué à partir des entrepreneurs disponibles, en raison de contraintes liées à l’insécurité et à la mobilité des bénéficiaires. Un échantillonnage accidentel a ainsi été privilégié. Les données ont été recueillies à l’aide d’un questionnaire électronique auto-administré, diffusé en créole via divers canaux numériques (email, réseaux sociaux, messageries). Ce questionnaire a permis de collecter des informations sur les effets perçus des programmes, ainsi que sur les obstacles rencontrés. L’analyse des données a été réalisée à l’aide de méthodes statistiques descriptives, notamment le tri à plat, test statistique, le tri croisé, les tableaux de fréquences et des représentations graphiques (diagrammes, histogrammes etc.). Ces techniques ont permis d’explorer les tendances générales, de comparer des sous-groupes, et de faciliter l’interprétation des résultats. Une vérification croisée des réponses a été effectuée avec les responsables des programmes afin d’assurer la fiabilité des données.
Cette étude analyse les impacts et les opportunités des programmes d’incubation Haïti Startup Talent et BEL Initiative sur les jeunes entreprises haïtiennes entre 2017 et 2023. À travers une enquête menée auprès de 96 entrepreneurs, les résultats montrent que ces programmes favorisent l’inclusion des jeunes (95 % ont entre 18 et 35 ans), l’autonomisation partielle des femmes (29 % de participation féminine), ainsi que la formalisation juridique (54 % des start-ups certifiées au Ministère du Commerce et de l’Industrie) et le renforcement des compétences entrepreneuriales (67 % des start-ups toujours actives).Néanmoins, des défis majeurs subsistent, notamment un accès limité au financement (17,7 % ont reçu une subvention après incubation), une dépendance aux fonds externes, une faible capacité de recrutement qualifié, ainsi qu’une forte vulnérabilité aux crises économiques et à la concurrence étrangère.
Par ailleurs, l’étude met en lumière plusieurs opportunités stratégiques pour ces programmes dans l’écosystème entrepreneurial haïtien : la formalisation administrative peut être renforcée par un accompagnement juridique accru en lien avec les institutions étatiques ; le développement des start-ups à l’échelle nationale et régionale reste insuffisant, malgré un fort potentiel d’intégration économique, notamment via des partenariats commerciaux régionaux comme la CARICOM ; enfin, la digitalisation, bien que partielle, est en progression avec une large utilisation des réseaux sociaux et des solutions cloud, offrant un levier important pour la transformation numérique des entreprises.
Ces résultats soulignent la nécessité d’adapter et d’élargir les offres d’incubation autour de quatre axes complémentaires: formalisation légale, expansion territoriale, accès à l’exportation, et intégration numérique. Ces leviers peuvent contribuer à rendre les programmes plus efficaces, durables et adaptés aux réalités et besoins des start-ups haïtiennes. Les résultats mettent en évidence des effets positifs sur l’EE haïtien, notamment en matière de légalisation des startups incubées, de taux de survie, de digitalisation, d’ouverture à l’exportation, ainsi que d’inclusion des jeunes dans l’économie formelle. Toutefois, ces programmes font face à des défis majeurs, tels que les crises socio-politiques et économiques, ainsi que le manque de financement, qui limitent leur efficacité.
Cette étude explore l’impact comparatif des programmes entrepreneuriaux de base et des programmes d’incubation d’entreprises sur la structuration, le développement et la performance des start-ups. À travers une enquête menée auprès de 96 entrepreneurs, elle met en évidence la plus-value des dispositifs d’incubation en matière d’acquisition de compétences techniques, de formalisation administrative, d’accès au financement et de conquête des marchés. Les résultats montrent que, bien que les programmes de base jouent un rôle dans le déclenchement des initiatives entrepreneuriales, les incubateurs apportent un accompagnement plus approfondi, facilitant une croissance plus durable et structurée des jeunes entreprises.
Cette recherche, bien que pertinente dans la collecte de données sur les effets des programmes d’incubation en Haïti, présente certaines limites méthodologiques, notamment liées à la taille de l’échantillon et à la nature déclarative des données. Elle souligne l’absence de dispositifs de suivi post-incubation, ce qui complique l’évaluation à long terme de l’impact des programmes. Pour approfondir la compréhension de leur efficacité, de futures études sont recommandées : sur des incubateurs sectoriels, les spécificités de genre, ou en comparant start-ups accompagnées et non accompagnées. Ces pistes permettraient de mieux adapter les dispositifs d’accompagnement aux réalités socio-économiques haïtiennes et de renforcer durablement l’écosystème entrepreneurial.

Ce mémoire d'Histoire analyse l'objet culturel du livret-programme, donné dans les rues et dans les théâtres à Paris entre 1887 et 1914. Cette période est marquée par sa transition d’annonce éphémère à objet culturel et mémoriel. Il met en lumière son caractère hybride, à la croisée de la presse, de la publicité, de l’art et de l’industrie du loisir. L’étude du corpus révèle le rôle central du programme dans l’émergence de la culture de masse et dans le rayonnement du théâtre à la Belle Époque.

Aim. We analyze temporal dynamics of entertainment industry including literature,music, fi lms and video games, introducing possible analogies between them. We providea framework for further explanation based on the economic concepts as revenue, organizationstructure and marketing goals in these creative industries for different technologicaleras.Methods. Initially, accurate data collected for time series of weekly record sales areanalyzed from statistical point of view (e.g. networks of artists, record labels and producers).This method may be extended to other parts of entertainment industry in search ofanalogies, under the infl uence of technological revolutions.Results. We provide the statistical properties of the mass art entertainment industry(including value of the markets, seasonality, products life-cycles) and interactions betweenvarious kinds of entertainment (e.g. fi lms might be infl uenced by literature with a delay).We are able to distinguish predigital, digital and pos...

Purpose: Smartphones and the other internet supported gadgets have brought us very close to the glamour industry. The intentional representation entertainment industry does of only the 'beautiful, most attractive and the perfect faces and bodies' hides the enormous sum of money that is invested into this depiction. What is hidden from us is an army of professionals to help them look the way they look. There are people to design them clothes suiting their body type and clothe them, apply flawless makeup to conceal defects in every visible area of their bodies and on top of it another professional to capture and edit those perfect videos and photos that we see. These celebrities have the money to afford the best dietician, cook and the fitness trainer so that they fit into the bodily statistics given to them by the industry. This research on literature was done to understand the existing literature about body image issues, the extensive role of media & various other factors, i...

Beyond single works scattered across different publication venues, Italian scholarship on gender and media has hardly circulated abroad. This Special Issue is, therefore, meant to make a substantial contribution to the international visibility and consideration of a body of works that has so far remained in the shadows. From this perspective, the varied range of the articles in the issue offers an overview of both the current status of gender and media studies in Italy and the ways gender is constructed in discourses, practices and actions throughout the Italian media landscape – including television, radio, fashion magazines, newspapers and digital platforms. In addition to the variety of media and topics, the works collected in this issue are also peculiar for resorting frequently to the historiographic approach, on the assumption that trajectories of change in gender and media relationship can only be traced in the comparison between past and present.

Her club is odd in its name and girls. It is the first cabaret named after its owner in Beirut. The girls come from different nations and countries, among which the Turkish, the Greek, the Russian and the German. One can see various dances, hear different languages, distinct songs and melodies.

The rollout of 5G technology is one of the most transformative shifts in the mobile landscape-not just in terms of connectivity, but in how apps are built, perform, and evolve. With speeds up to 100x faster than 4G and significantly lower latency, 5G opens up powerful new possibilities for mobile app developers and businesses alike. In this article, we explore how 5G is reshaping the future and how Mobile app development experts are using this chances. what opportunities it creates, and what challenges developers need to prepare for in 2025 and beyond. What Makes 5G So Different? 5G (fifth-generation wireless technology) is not just an upgrade in speed-it's a paradigm shift in network performance and capability.

Particularly during the Cold War years, you will find that the entire Eastern side was absolutely seduced by Indian cinema. I remember the one time we all went to the former Soviet Union as part of the Indian delegation for the Moscow Film Festival. We were travelling from Moscow to St. Petersburg by overnight train. There was a special coupe in which the Czars used to travel that was brought out and attached to the train; why? Because Raj Kapoor was travelling with us. And Raj Kapoor being Raj Kapoor, he invited many of us in that coupe where the Russians had provided him with an endless supply of champagne, cognac, and fruit. Their own leaders never got the kind of treatment that Raj Kapoor received.-Shyam Benegal, veteran film director and producer 1 Raj Kapoor, as the anecdote emphasizes, was a revered star in the Soviet Union when a newly independent India was trying to establish itself as a non-aligned nation in the context of the Cold War. 2 His film Awāra (The Vagabond, 1951) was an unexpected hit that endeared Soviet viewers to Indian cinema. Concurrently, the Soviets appreciated a few other major stars such as Dev Anand and Dilip Kumar, whose films Rahi (The Wayfarer, 1952, dir. Khwaja Ahmad Abbas) and Naya Daur (The New Era, 1957, dir. B. R. Chopra) also got Soviet releases. This chapter traces the history of Indian Hindi cinema's industrial exchange and globalization, from the 1950s to the 1980s, spanning the decades of the Cold War up to the beginnings of perestroika in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, commonly referred
to as the Soviet Union. In recounting this history, it focuses on crucial
star nodes and their nodal power within Indian Hindi cinema’s formative
industrial structure after independence. While recounting this history of
star switching power, this chapter also situates how stars came to be Hindi
cinema’s global anchors with the most industrial power, when, during the late
1940s and early 1950s, the studio system that existed under British rule broke
down. Indian Hindi cinema’s post-independence industrial structure, we will
see, was marked by significant transformations. The studios were replaced
by a new structural formation wherein small independent film clusters
dominated the production landscape. As the industry adapted to national
and international developments after independence, a few megastars emerged as critical instigators of changes in the industry business and products that mobilized Hindi cinema to traverse global boundaries.

A film is one of the entertainment media in human life. It makes the film industry becomes a potential business to get promising income. Prediction of success of a film financially supports film producers, production houses, distributors, and stakeholders in making decisions. The existing research on film predictions is from a popularity point of view. There is also research to predict success from a financial point of view, but using social media film rating data, which has been released. This paper is a study to find a predictive model for the success of films from the financial aspect of films that have not been released. The prediction model uses the Backpropgation neural network (BNN) algorithm by calculating the accuracy, precision, recall, and f-score. The observed variables  are a combination of film success parameters, namely, budget, genre, production company, holiday, runtime, and competition factor. The study results show that the use of more recent data, although less ...

Many researchers consider that the forces of globalization and informatization have a great importance for communication; these forces have already caused changes in some industries, policies, cultures and societies. Societies and communities must take part in this new global communication as they have no other choice; although, their way of participation depends on their specific social, cultural, economical and political environment. Nowadays, we have a global commercial communication system which is dominated by a small number of very powerful transnational companies. Until now, the companies from the communication field have sold information and entertainment to the people. Now they prefer to sell consumers (readers, listeners, TV spectators, internet users). We can easily notice the ambition of the new communication empires: to control the whole network, as everything is passing through these networks -broadcasts, movies, books, music, magazines -means communication.

This study aimed to reveal the sports consumption behavior intentions of the spectators of two football teams competing in Turkish Super League, in order to examine whether this behavior changes in cases of success and failure. Besides, the study also attempted to detect any difference between the consumption behaviors of the spectators of the two teams and to reveal the reasons of these differences. Spectators of two different teams competing in Turkish Super League participated in the study on voluntary basis. Totally 678 sports spectators attended the study: 54.30% (N=368) of these spectators supported Eskisehirspor while 45.70% (N=310) supported Bursaspor. To this end, the Sports Consumption Behavior Scale which was developed by Kim et al. (2011) and the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of which was tested by Kiremitci et al. (2014) was used in the scope of the study. In conclusion, this study examined the consumer behavior intentions of the spectators of two team...

This article provides a comprehensive exploration of the history of touring theatre in Türkiye, an often overlooked aspect in the country’s theatrical narrative. Existing scholarly works on Turkish theatre history have predominantly catalogued theatrical activities or analysed dramatic texts while leaving touring theatre, a significant historical phenomenon, underexamined. The transient nature of touring troupes, coupled with the absence of comprehensive records, has contributed to the neglect of this aspect in theatre history studies. Drawing on available sources, including interviews, memoirs, and historical articles, the article sheds light on the development of touring theatre in Türkiye, focusing on key periods, influential figures, and the socio-political contexts that shaped its trajectory. It seeks to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of Turkish theatre history by unravelling the experiences, challenges and contributions of touring theatre to the cultural landscape, aiming to fill a notable gap in existing scholarship.

Vehicles are fast becoming another important source of digital evidence in a criminal investigation. Traditionally, when a vehicle is involved in a crime scene (e.g. drink driving), the investigators focus on the acquisition of DNA, fingerprints and other identifying materials, usually non digital in nature. However, modern day cars, particularly smart or driverless cars, store a wealth of digital information, such as recent destinations, favourite locations, routes, personal data such as call logs, contact lists, SMS messages, pictures, and videos. In this paper, we describe some challenges associated with vehicle data forensics, an understudied area. Next, we present our case study on forensic acquisition and data analysis of an entertainment system on a Volkswagen car.

A necessidade das empresas de manterem-se competitivas e com praticas humanizadas de gestao, em um contexto de trabalho que esta em constante transformacao, mantem as discussoes sobre qualidade de vida no trabalho (QVT) atuais. A pesquisa objetivou analisar a percepcao de consultores de uma empresa prestadora de servicos em gestao sobre QVT. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e descritiva em que seis consultores responderam a uma Escala de Avaliacao da Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (E-QVT) e a uma entrevista individual semiestruturada. Os dados obtidos na E-QVT foram analisados conforme as indicacoes do instrumento validado e as entrevistas interpretadas a partir da analise de conteudo. Entre os resultados, constatou-se que os consultores possuem um entendimento pouco especifico a respeito da definicao de QVT, evidenciando aspectos subjetivos, como bem-estar psicologico e saude, associados ao conceito. O fator da escala “integracao, respeito e autonomia” obteve maior consenso entr...

There is a lot of confusion these days about Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL). A computer system able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. Artificial Intelligence has made it possible. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, and machine learning is a subset of AI, which is an umbrella term for any computer program that does something smart. In other words, all machine learning is AI, but not all AI is machine learning, and so forth. Machine Learning represents a key evolution in the fields of computer science, data analysis, software engineering, and artificial intelligence. Machine learning (ML)is a vibrant field of research, with a range of exciting areas for further development across different methods and applications. These areas include algorithmic interpretability, robustness, privacy, fairness, inference of ...

The movie is one of the integral components of our everyday entertainment. The worldwide movie industry is one of the most growing and significant industries and seizing the attention of people of all ages. It has been observed in the recent study that only a few of the movies achieve success. Uncertainty in the sector has created immense pressure on the film production stakeholder. Moviemakers and researchers continuously feel it necessary to have some expert systems predicting the movie success probability preceding its production with reasonable accuracy. A maximum of the research work has been conducted to predict the movie popularity in the post-production stage. To help the movie maker estimate the upcoming film and make necessary changes, we need to conduct the prediction at the early stage of movie production and provide specific observations about the upcoming movie. This study has proposed a content-based (CB) movie recommendation system (RS) using preliminary movie features like genre, cast, director, keywords, and movie description. Using RS output and movie rating and voting information of similar movies, we created a new feature set and proposed a CNN deep learning (DL) model to build a multiclass movie popularity prediction system. We also proposed a system to predict the popularity of the upcoming movie among different audience groups. We have divided the audience group into four age groups junior, teenage, mid-age and senior. This study has used publicly available Internet Movie Database (IMDb) data and The Movie Database (TMDb) data. We had implemented a multiclass classification model and achieved 96.8% accuracy, which outperforms all the benchmark models. This study highlights the potential of predictive and prescriptive data analytics in information systems to support industry decisions.

The music industry is currently subject to changes influenced by ongoing digitalisation and informatization that are unprecedented. Other sectors can expect to undergo in the near future what the media industry is going through now -the movie industry being a prime suspect. Each day, some 600,000 copies of movies are exchanged via the Internet, most of these in violation of the copyright laws. The disruptive nature of technological development makes that the market for entertainment products and other content undergoes fundamental changes. Where 'content' used to be exchanged attached to a physical carrier, increasingly it has the features of an information product.

Networked Bollywood provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the role of the stars in the transformation of Hindi cinema into a global entertainment industry. The first Indian film was made in 1913. However, filmmaking was recognized as an industry almost a hundred years later. Yet, Indian films have been circulating globally since their inception. This book unearths this oft-elided history of Bollywood's globalization through multilingual, transnational research and discursive cultural analysis. The author illustrates how over the decades, a handful of primarily male megastars, as the heads of the industry's most prominent productions and corporations, combined overwhelming charismatic affect with unparalleled business influence. Through their “star switching power,” theorized here as a deeply gendered phenomenon and manifesting broader social inequalities, India's most prominent stars instigated new flows of cinema, industrial collaborations, structured distinctive business models, influenced state policy and diplomatic exchange, thereby defining the future of Bollywood's globalization.

This case study explores the concept of "bread and circuses" in the Roman Empire and its modern-day parallel in American society, focusing on the role of entertainment, media, and political rhetoric as tools of social control. In ancient Rome, the ruling elite used free grain and public spectacles to pacify the masses and distract them from social and economic inequality. Similarly, in contemporary America, mass distractions through entertainment, media, and political discourse serve to divert attention from pressing issues such as economic disparity, racial injustice, and political corruption. By analyzing the similarities between these two societies, the study highlights how both have used entertainment and media to maintain social order, prevent civil unrest, and preserve the power structures that perpetuate inequality. The study underscores the enduring relevance of the "bread and circuses" strategy in modern contexts and offers insights into the ways mass distraction functions as a tool of social control in both ancient and contemporary societies.

In this study, it has been examined the relationship between music and society from the point of view of the songs that young people listen to the most and how these songs overlap with the young people's feelings about the society and system they live in. İndividuals, tend to prefer music that is coherent to their emotional state, known as the mood-congruency. Therefore there is a deep connection between the musical styles listened to periodically and social dynamics. In this context, in the Spotify application, which is a digital platform, six rap songs that young people listen to the most were selected and qualitative content analysis method was applied in the study. At the same time, the "System-Based Emotions Scale" questionnaire was applied to the 77 young people studying at the İstanbul Topkapı University Faculty of Fine Arts, Design and Architecture at the undergraduate level, which includes the feelings they may feel towards the system they live in. In this way, the relationship between the political attitudes and feelings of young people and the lyrics they listen to can be looked at more deeply. When we look at the results of the qualitative content analysis and the "System-Based Emotions Scale" questionnaire, the harmony between the two data draws attention. It is revealed that young people, as members of the current system and order, express their feelings, they want to say through Rap music.

Various new forms of entertainment using information and media technologies have emerged and been accepted among people all over the world. Casual and serious games, as well as communication using mobile phones, blogs, and Twitter, are such kinds of new entertainment. It is important to discuss the basic characteristics of such entertainment and to understand the direction to which these new forms are leading human societies. This paper provides a comparative study of entertainment between developing countries and developed countries, and between ancient times and the present day. The future relationship between entertainment and society is also described.

Sports organizations, Hollywood studios and TV-channel providers grant satellite and cable networks exclusive rights to televise their matches, movies and media contents. The common view is that exclusive distribution prevents the viewers from watching attractive programs, and that the TV-distributors don’t need to compete with prices when they o¤er di¤erent contents. Exclusive distribution reduces diversity and increases prices. This paper challenges the common view. Exclusive distribution may give providers of contents incentives to invest in higher quality, and also force competitors to reduce prices. Regulatory intervention may harm all viewers, including those that are excluded. Key Words: exclusive contracts, quality, bargaining, advertising, investment JEL: C78, D43, K21, L42 I am grateful for comments from Henrik Horn, Chrysovalantou Milliou, P-J Norbäck, Mariano Selvaggi, Oz Shy, Thomas Tangerås, Frank Verboven, Gregory Werden and seminar participants at the IUI, WZB and II...

En este trabajo se analiza la oralidad fingida en el discurso directo del personaje de Chabela en Temporada de huracanes (2017), de Fernanda Melchor, y su relación con la identidad del personaje. Para esto, tomamos el capítulo V de la  novela, en donde abundan los diálogos entre  Chabela y Norma. Partimos de estudios sobre el español coloquial (Briz Gómez; Gaviño Rodríguez; Narbona Jiménez) y clasificamos las estrategias empleadas en el lenguaje coloquial de Chabela en tres niveles de la lengua: sintáctico, léxico-semántico y pragmático-contextual. Concluimos que se emplea un conjunto de elementos coloquiales más o menos estable para la configuración del personaje y, con base en el concepto de identidad propuesto por Charles Taylor, que la identidad de Chabela se ha construido en su uso particular de la lengua, al mismo tiempo que se refleja en este.

The Internet technology and pervasive computing has provided consumers with privileges to shop online. In addition, the Industry 4.0 agenda has placed the business web and the social web as the ecosystem domains, which explains why online shopping is a norm today. While many studies have been conducted to investigate the determinants of consumers’ intention to use online shopping, mixed results are always found, especially when the business take unique approaches for their digital presence. Besides, even though self-efficacy has been studied extensively in information system research, technological complexity has always given a challenge to consumers’ computing ability. Building on the Use and Gratification Theory (GTA) and the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), this study aims to examine the relationships between entertainment gratification, informative gratification, web irritation and self-efficacy towards individual’s intention to use online shopping. Using the quantitative survey a...

Ever since Gustave Flaubert told the tale of Madame Bovary's addiction to romance literature and her sad quest for self-realisation, Western intellectuals have pondered the fate of personality in the face of the entertainment industries. Many have been pessimistic. Saving the self from the levelling of commercial entertainment was the raison d'être of English pedagogical thought from Matthew Arnold to F.R. Leavis and beyond. In Germany, Max Horkheimer

Technological advancements have reshaped cultural forms and the industries that produce them, with recent changes impacting the film industry through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). The concerns include the integration of AI into the creative processes, the ethical implications of its use, and ensuring job security for creators. In 2023, these concerns led to widespread debate, emerging as concerns in two major labor union strikes—The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA). This study, set against the backdrop of the 2023 Hollywood strikes, analyzes three case studies—Secret Invasion (2023), Late Night with the Devil (2024), and Civil War (2024)— from Hollywood's AI debate and assesses their broader implications for the entertainment industry. Using a descriptive case study approach, it is believed that the impact of the AI debate in the creative industries can be analyzed with concrete examples. The analysis reveals that audience criticism and backlash against AI in productions primarily stem from concerns over creativity, precarious employment conditions, and the profitdriven motives of major corporations.

Over the past few decades, it has become more and more evident that the growing pressure on natural ecosystems may have detrimental short-and long-term repercussions on humanity. Consequently, this has prompted a reevaluation of innovation's place in the framework of sustainable development. Thus, the objective of this chapter centered on how social innovation can be used to attain environmental sustainability within the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The authors discuss social innovation in terms of its origins, concept and main element. They delve into environmental components and contemporary environmental issues; and with the alignment of social innovations with environmental sustainability. Conclusively, it was opined that global society must both draw inspiration from and collaborate with natural systems in order to address the enormous and frequently existential environmental difficulties. In light of this, a socio-ecological transition is suggested as the foundation for future sustainable communities and development

The article mainly uses the typical case analysis method to analyze Japanese factors such as Aeon Corporation and examines the general implementation process of promoting Japanese culture with its soft power. The analysis clarifies the characteristics of Omotenashi culture in particular and Japanese culture in general at Aeon and events related to Japan as well as Aeon's role in meaningful activities with the community. Aeon has gained popularity by adopting the Omotenashi business culture, which emphasizes sophisticated operations and a one-stop shop with numerous amenities and community-focused activities. Research results show that Aeon Group's prospects for Vietnam are promising and Aeon will continue to invest in Vietnam in the future. This shows the attractiveness of the Vietnamese market to foreign businesses, including Japanese.

Our goal here is to present an introductory anthropological analysis of cinema by understanding cinema-theaters as ritual spaces. Architectural historians and theorists like Sigfried Giedion and Reyner Banham have been fascinated by the technological aspects of modern inventions: canonical texts such as Space, Time and Architecture or Theory and Design in the First Machine Age focus on the direct linkages between architecture and technology. However, an anthropological reading of cinema has not been made yet. Though modernist historiographic efforts have exhaustively theorized and historicized cinema as a modern, technological invention, an anthology directly linking it to anthropological concepts remains to be written. For us, cinema created an important rupture in the history of performative arts and is a remarkable case study because it allowed for the first time to mechanically reproduce a performance. What are the defining elements of a ritual? How can cinema-going be understood as a ritualistic practice? What is the conceptual basis of such a reading, and what are its spatial consequences?
