No full textStreaming difference(s): Netflix and the branding of diversity
No full textSince 2020, Netflix has emphasised the diversity of representation the platform provides through its content. Following the publication of its diversity report, the streamer positions itself as a driver of inclusion for underrepresented communities in film and television industries. This article examines how Netflix rhetorically frames the emphasis on diversity in its corporate communication. Based on a thematic analysis of Netflix�s press releases, it explores how Netflix uses its branding of diversity to generate a transnational appeal. The article outlines four strategies which highlight the cultural and industrial practices deployed by the streamer to gain competitive advantages. In 2021, Netflix published its first diversity report detailing the make-up of its talents across all US commissioned films and series released between 2018 and 2019. The report shows that, overall, Netflix is outpacing the global entertainment industry with regards to the representation and inclusion of underrepresented groups

No full textEofelis edwardsi (Filhol, 1872) (Fig. 5M) TYPE MATERIAL. — Lectotype, hemi-mandible, MNHN.F.QU9539, phosphorites du Quercy, designated by Ginsburg 1979: 45. NEW MATERIAL. — UM VBO 454, right upper canine. REMARKS This small feloid-like carnivoran was noted by Filhol (1872a) based on a mandible and described by the same author (Filhol 1872b) based on several specimens. Peigné (2000), in a revision of the genus, identified a total of 52 remains of E. edwardsi in many collections but only three from the upper jaw, with only one canine. Until now we had not found any remains of Eofelis in more than fifty years of excavations in the Quercy. Thus, the new discovery UM VBO4511 is significant. This canine is slightly curved, bucco-laterally compressed (mesio-distal diameter = 8.8 mm, bucco-lingual = 5.6 mm; ratio L/W = 1.57) the height from the tip of the crown to the base of the root is 37.3 mm (Fig. 5M 1, M 2). The buccal surface of the crown is slightly convex and the lingual one is quite flat. There are slight crenulations or serrations on the distal edge as indicated by Filhol (1872b: 6) for the lower canine of E. edwardsi and Peigné (2000: 657) for the lower and upper canines of the same species. The ratio L/W for the upper canine is close to that given by Peigné (2000: table 1) for E. edwardsi (1.5). The size is slightly greater than that of a specimen figured by Ginsburg (1979: fig. 10a, b) but the shape is similar. Another species, E. giganteus Peigné, 2000, is much larger and although its upper canine is unknown, cannot fit our specimen. Thus, we attribute UM VBO454 to E. edwardsi which is firmly dated for the first time.Published as part of Bonis, Louis de, Gardin, Axelle & Blondel, Cécile, 2019, Carnivora from the early Oligocene of the ' Phosphorites du Quercy' in southwestern France, pp. 601-621 in Geodiversitas 41 (15) on page 618, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2019v41a15, http://zenodo.org/record/369420
Dinailurictis Helbing 1922
No full textGenus Dinailurictis Helbing, 1922 TYPE SPECIES. — Dinailurictis bonali Helbing, 1922 by original designation. REMARKS The genus was created by Helbing (1922) for fossils found in La Tuque (Lot & Garonne, France) in a molassic continental level which could be dated to the middle Oligocene. The remains consisted of a large scimitar-like upper canine, a P3 and a P4 most likely from the same animal. He added to the same sample a root of a large upper canine from Moissac whose size is similar to that of the La Tuque canine, but the geologic age of which is unknown because there are several levels from the middle and late Oligocene to the early Miocene in the Moissac area. Later, a fragment of maxilla with P3-P4 from the old Quercy collection was described as Nimravus intermedius major Piveteau, 1931. The latter author did not cite Helbing and probably was not aware of his article. The specimen was revised by Ginsburg (1979) and considered as the type species of the new genus Quercylurus Ginsburg, 1979. The main difference between the two genera was the size, Quercylurus being larger than Dinailurictis. The other characters (elongated protocone of P4, irregular minute pleating of the mesial crest of the paracone, m1 more robust) are linked to the larger size (slight allometry) or are also present in Dinailurictis.Published as part of Bonis, Louis de, Gardin, Axelle & Blondel, Cécile, 2019, Carnivora from the early Oligocene of the ' Phosphorites du Quercy' in southwestern France, pp. 601-621 in Geodiversitas 41 (15) on page 616, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2019v41a15, http://zenodo.org/record/369420
Producing Diversity: On the Discourses at the Heart of Netflix's Production Culture
No full textThis article critically explores Netflix's use of diversity as a strategic tool within its global production culture; it focuses on how the streamer increasingly deploys various narratives about diversity and inclusion to legitimate its presence, rationalize its operations, and normalize the industrial changes it generates. Through a critical discourse analysis of Netflix's corporate communication - press releases and diversity reports published between June 2022 and February 2024 - the study identifies four central discourses that shape Netflix's approach. These discourses reveal that while Netflix positions itself as a socially responsible actor championing diversity and inclusion, its strategy intertwines cultural values with commercial imperatives. By appealing to local talents worldwide, Netflix's rhetoric not only opens opportunities for underrepresented voices but also risks simplifying complex local identities to fit global market demands. The article concludes that Netflix's approach to diversity, while progressive on the surface, may in practice constrain creative autonomy, subtly reinforcing existing global power structures and shaping diversity through a commercial lens
