Professor Janet Wasko: An Interview with the President of the IAMCR and one of the Key Representatives of the Political Economy of Communication Approach
No full textThis paper presents an interview with Janet Wasko. She is a Professor and Knight Chair in Communication Research at the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication and widely considered as one of the key authors working in the tradition of the political economy of communication. Currently she is serving as the President of the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR), one of the key international associations in the field of media and communication studies. She previously held several other positions in the IAMCR and served as the head of the Political Economy-section, which she also helped to establish. Professor Wasko published several influential books on the film industry, especially on Hollywood and the Disney Corporation. We talked especially about the influences on her approach, about her position in the IAMCR, her understanding of how the cultural and media industries work, the political economy approach in media and communication studies, and issues related to the film industry, which she mostly tackles in her own research

Culture, services, knowledge : television between policy regimes
No full textThe chapter takes an explicit policy-oriented focus and tracks television as it has been or could be deliberated on across policy 'regimes'. These three grids of understanding – 'culture', 'services', and 'knowledge' - also serve as historical and/or possible rationales for state intervention in television, as well as the industry's own understandings of its nature and role. To emphasize the dynamic, overlapping and in part contesting nature of these regimes, I use Raymond Williams' (1981: 204) distinction between residual, dominant and emergent cultural forces. The first, residual, regime, that of cultural policy, is of well-established vintage for television but is under siege. The second, the dominant, the service industry model, is the most widespread regime. The third, emergent, regime, the place of television in the knowledge economy, is embryonic at this stage of its development
Psyche in New York: The Devil Wears Prada Updates the Myth
No full textThe Psyche and Cupid story is a central myth of female maturation, among its other meanings. At its core, it is a story of a powerful older woman, a mother-figure, controlling a younger woman’s path to maturity, seemingly blocking her way by imposing impossible tasks, but through these tasks teaching her what she needs to learn to become an adult. In the Greek myth, the marker of maturity is full and socially sanctioned union with the god/husband; in the movie The Devil Wears Prada, the marker becomes a job that both “pays the rent” and that the young woman can hold with integrity and independence. I will also look at such diverse sources as the Tam Lin legend, Hayao Miyazake’s Spirited Away, C.S. Lewis’s retelling of the Psyche myth in Till We Have Faces, and the movie Julie & Julia as variants of the underlying “mother”/maiden conflict.This is the Version of Record (VoR) of the article originally published in Mythlore (2012).
