The Frederator Interview Dodeckamechapost

Hello all!

In a year and 3 months at Frederator Studios, I’ve had an amazing opportunity: to speak with many successful people in animation about their love for their craft, their motivation getting into it, and the moves that made their careers. 50 of these conversations have made it onto paper (one into a video!), and now, I bequeath them to you in this Master’s Collection! Da dun! From the start, I’ve composed these interviews with a particular reader in mind. That is any of you following who dreams of working in animation, and becoming a part of the shows that you love. If that is you, then I hope these conversations will be a resource for you. Everyone’s path is different - that’s an overwhelming trend in these! - but if you wish to become a cartoonist, there IS a path open for you.

This also marks my last post to the Frederator Studios Tumblr. I’ll miss you all, and Frederator! But my path is taking me on to the next opportunity. It has been a gift to share this cartoon joy with you. Thank you for it.

Without further ado: read, enjoy, and follow these amazing artists, writers, actors, animators, producers - creators! And if you are that dreamer I’ve kept in mind - take the advice you like, leave whatever you don’t, but no matter what, please: believe in yourself. And begin.

- Cooper Nelson ❀

Pelikulang Kulang, Isip Sinisipsip

Kasabay ng pag-unlad ng teknolohiya sa ating mundong ginagalawan ay ang pagkadiskubre sa proseso ng paggawa si isang Pelikula. Ano ba ang isang pelikula? Ayon sa Mimir na isang diskyunaryo ng mga tagalog na salita, “Ang isang film, tinatawag din na ang isang pelikula, motion, paglipat ng larawan, theatrical pelikula, o photoplay, ay isang serye ng mga imahe pa rin na, kapag ipinapakita sa isang screen, lumikha ng ilusyon ng paglipat ng mga imahe.”. Ang pelikula ay serye ng mga imahe o bidyo na pinagdikit-dikit upang gumawa ng isang buong pelikula at sa panahon ngayon, madali na lang ito dahil sa makabagong teknolohiya. Ano nga ba ang nagagawa ng mga pelikulang ito? Mga imahe lang ba ito na ang layunin lang ay makapagbigay ng aliw sa mga manonood?

Sa aking paggawa ng blog na ito, nagbasa pa ako ng mga parte ng isang sulatin na ginawa ni Elvin Amerigo Valerio ng De La Salle University. Sa loob ng sulatin na ginawa niya, binaggit niya ang sinabi ni Douglas Kellner, na “Ang Globalisasyon ay nauwi lamang sa Amerikanisasyon.” Ayon pa kay Kellner, Malaking papel ang ginampanan ng mga pelikula sa pagpapalaganap ng amerikanisasyon na hanggang ngayon ay makikita pa rin sa ating bansa. Sa mga nauna kong blog, nabanggit ko na ang kapangyarihan ng mga Ideolohiya. Sa pamamagitan ng mga pelikula, unti-unti tayong tinataniman ng mga ideolohiya patungo sa pagiging amerikanisado. Nabanggit naman sa sulatin ni Nicanor Tiongson ang apat na na negatibong pagpapahalaga na pinaniniwalaan natin hanggang sa kasalukuyan.

Ang unang negatibong pagpapahalaga ay ang paniniwalang “Maganda ang Maputi”. Ipinakita sa isang dokumentaryo ng iJuander ang sinabi ni Professor TP De Luna na hindi tayo nakukuntento sa kulay natin dahil makikita natin sa mass media ang pagpapahalaga sa kulay. Sa mga pelikula ngayon ay ang mapuputi ang gumaganap bilang mayaman at ang mahirap naman, hindi masyadong maputi. Dagdag pa rito, sinabi rin ni Prof. Sarah Raymundo na nagkaroon tayo ng ideolohiyang ganito dahil sa konsepto ng pang-aalipin na pinangunahan ng europa noong unang panahon. Pangalawa namang negatibong pagpapahalaga ay ang “Masaya ang May Palabas” dito naman ay ipinupunta na ang mga pelikula ay para lamang sa aliw. Ano ang masama dito? Binanggit nga ni Tiongson na ang aliw na ito ang nagiging lagusan natin upang maging mga palatakas sa realidad ng daigdig. Hindi ba’t mas maganda na marunong tayong tanggapin at suriin ang realidad o mga totoong nangyayari sa ating bansang ginagalawan? Kailangang magkaroon tayo ng kamalayan sa ating lipunan upang makita ang problema dito at anong magagawa mo upang maiayos ito. Sunod na negatibong pagpapahalaga ay ang “Mabuti ang Inaapi”. Mapapaisip ka na lang ulit dito dahil halos lahat ng pelikula ay ganito naman talaga ang ipinapakita. Makikita natin na ang mga mahihina ay hindi na nakikita pang lumaban at naiisip na lang tanggapin ang pang-aapi na ginagawa sa kanila. Nakaasa tayo sa mga prinsipe o hari na magliligtas sa atin. Ang pang-huli naman ay ang paniniwalang “Maganda pa ang Daigdig”. Ang mga pelikula ay palagi na lang nagtatapos na maganda ang magiging buhay ng inapi dahil dumating ang tagapagligtas niya na prinsipe o kung sino mang mag-aangat sa kanya mula sa kanyang kalagayan. Siguro’y dulot ito ng kaisipang kapag naghirap ka ngayon, kailangan mo lang maghintay dahil darating din ang oras na gaganda ang iyong buhay. Ngayong nailahad ko na ulit ang mga negatibong pagpapahalaga na ito, ano ang dapat nating baguhin?

Para sa akin ay ang mga pelikula ay nagkukulang. Makapangyarihan ang dula at ang pelikula. Nakapagpapakita sila ng mga pamamaraan, paniniwala, aksyon, na maaari nating ibaon sa ating mga sarili habang nanonood tayo. Oo, kailangan natin ng aliw, ngunit bakit tayo naghahangad ng matinding pagka-aliw kung mayroon pang mga bagay na mas binibigyan natin ng pansin. Sabi nga sa isang artikulo sa website ng Serenity Zone, “People always make time for the important things in their life.”. Sa tingin ko ay kailangan nating magkaroon ng pag-iisip kung saan importante ang pagbabago sa ating lipunan. Importante ang magkaroon ng kamalayan sa lipunan at ang paggawa ng aksyon upang baguhin ito. Ang kulang sa pelikula natin ay mahihinuha mo na hindi naman talaga ito “atin”. Dahil sa mga ideolohiyang ipinapakita ng mga ito, maiisip mo na parang mas gusto nating maging mga amerikanisado. Ang mga pelikula ay dapat nagtatanim sa isipan natin ng mga mapagpabagong mga ideolohiya at hindi nito dapat sinisipsip ang ating isip upang maging isang Pilipino na puro alie lamang ang gusto. Ang buhay natin ay parang isang pelikula na dapat nating suriing mabuti ngunit sa totoong buhay, mayroon pa tayong oportunidad upang baguhin ang mga pangyayari dito. Bansa natin ito at tayo ang mga munting mga direktor dito.

New story in Politics from Time: After a Chaotic Primary, New York Scrambles to Reset for the 2020 Election

New York state Senator Zellnor Myrie cast his ballot in person during the early vote period in his state’s June primary. He’d applied for an absentee ballot —which didn’t arrive in his mailbox until a day before the election. So rather than hold out for it, he decided to go in to ensure he would get the chance to vote, figuring he wasn’t at too much additional risk of contracting the coronavirus.

But for the thousands of other New Yorkers who, like Myrie, reportedly didn’t receive their absentee ballots in a timely fashion or at all, weighing their right to vote against the public and personal health risks of going to a polling station may not have been so easy. It’s a choice voting access advocates say no one should have to make.

New York’s June 23 primary did not go smoothly. The issues election officials and voters faced were wide ranging, but hinged mostly on a massive number of absentee ballots flooding a system that was simply unequipped to process them. In the 2016 primary, New York state had 157,885 requests for absentee ballots; this year, the state, which at one point was the epicenter of the deadly battle against COVID-19, received more than 1.7 million requests.

The sunniest interpretations of the primary have focused on participation being high because voting by mail was made more accessible. But state officials are anxious about the host of problems that came up, and what they could mean come November. An unclear number of voters were disenfranchised due to technicalities, like missing signatures, or the government’s inability to expeditiously get ballots in the hands of voters.

One New York state Board of Elections official, Douglas Kellner, estimates tens of thousands of eligible voters were disenfranchised, and notes the bulk of the state’s problems occurred in New York City and Westchester County. Processing the huge number of absentee ballots has caused a long delay in election results. More than a month later, some results, including those of high-profile congressional races, are still not decided.

“If we do not fix the logistical problems, it is going to be a recipe for confusion and chaos leading up to the most consequential election of our lifetimes,” says Myrie. “It is incumbent on the state to make this a top priority.”

Now New York officials are scrambling to avoid a similar situation in November, when the pandemic is still expected to affect the general election. Kellner, who is the Democratic co-chair and commissioner of the New York State BOE, says he’s “very frustrated in dealing with the senior staff at the [New York City] board of elections to get them to recognize what they need to do to get this job done. And they are very frustrated because what we’re asking them to do is very hard.”

Make sense of what matters in Washington. Sign up for the daily D.C. Brief newsletter.

In July, the state legislature passed a slate of reforms aimed at avoiding some of the problems encountered in the primary, which are now pending the governor’s signature. The state BOE, which oversees the local boards, is expected to testify before state lawmakers on August 11 about what went wrong. And advocates are saying more needs to be done ahead of the general election, including putting in place an aggressive voter education campaign and allocating additional funds so things run more smoothly on November 3.

“I think the June primary occurred under extraordinary circumstances, but the reality is that we collectively failed as a state to sufficiently plan ahead and also to safeguard every single voter’s safe access to the polls,” says New York state Senator Alessandra Biaggi.

New York is reliably blue and unlikely to have much to do with the larger outcome in the presidential race. But it is an alarming case study of a state that had a lot go wrong in the primary and has a lot of to do to fill a gap in preparedness before November. Several states that held primaries after the pandemic hit saw those races as a test run ahead of the high-stakes general election. In November, many more voters are expected to turn out, whether by mail or in-person. Failure to anticipate problems and adjust could result in more disenfranchised voters.

There’s also a concern that any lack of preparedness in handling a larger volume of mail-in ballots could feed into President Donald Trump’s false narrative that mail ballots are insecure. (Past races and research show that vote-by-mail is reliable.) Trump has already painted a target on New York’s back: On July 29, he tweeted about the “disastrous” primary, suggesting incorrectly that it was a rigged election and planting another early seed of doubt about the results of the presidential election.

“Hyperbolic rhetoric about the integrity of New York City’s elections plays into the hands of Donald Trump, who would love nothing more than to delegitimize vote by mail,” says New York City council member Ritchie Torres, a young Democratic star who ran in the June primary. “There’s a difference between administering an election imperfectly and rigging an election.”

Torres ran for a seat in one of New York’s two congressional primaries that have yet to be called. He’s the expected winner in his Bronx congressional district, and is poised to be the first openly gay, Afro-Latino man in Congress. He admits the delay has been frustrating. Though he initially told TIME that he would wait to declare victory until the results were finalized, he has since gone ahead after broadening his lead.

The other outstanding House race is between U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney and Suraj Patel in the 12th congressional district, which the Washington Post reported had “well over” 50% of the vote cast by absentee ballots. Patel, who is trailing Maloney, refuses to concede. Instead, he is now among several plaintiffs suing the New York State BOE and other officials, claiming an executive order from Gov. Andrew Cuomo created confusion among voters and at the U.S. Postal Service.

The order was intended to expand access to absentee voting, in part by providing voters with pre-paid, business class envelopes for people to return their ballots in. But the lawsuit charges that in the process of switching away from voters paying for the envelope, thousands of voters’ ballots were invalidated because postal workers didn’t postmark the envelopes, as absentee ballots are required to be. Kellner, who is named in the suit, says the postmark issue brought up by the lawsuit did not occur on the scale that is suggested in the complaint.

“People’s fundamental right to vote cannot just be discarded willy nilly because of a snafu,” says Ali Najmi, an election attorney representing the plaintiffs. “People’s votes were not counted because of issues related to postmarks and delivery, which are not in control of the voters.” The case was heard this week, and the judge is set to rule on it shortly.

In response to the problems that surfaced during the primary and in preparation for November, the state legislature passed several election reform bills last week. Among their provisions were ensuring that once again coronavirus would be a valid reason for a voter to request an absentee ballot this fall, allowing voters to request absentee ballots more than 30 days in advance of the election, and giving voters notification to “cure” technical errors such as unsigned envelopes.

The slate of reforms have been passed by both the state Senate and Assembly, and are now awaiting the Governor’s signature. “We are reviewing the bills – and as the Governor has said we are working with stakeholders, including the Legislature and Board of Elections, to make sure everything runs smoothly in November and if necessary we will take additional actions,” said Caitlin Girouard, Cuomo’s press secretary, in a statement to TIME.

It’s not clear, however, if the measures passed by the legislature will be enough. Though several elected officials expressed interest in passing legislation that would allow for ballot counting to begin earlier when asked about it, there appears to be no movement underway to make that a reality. And though many want additional resources to be allocated to running the election, it’s unclear whether that will happen.

Who is to blame for the way the primary played out depends on who you ask: It was Cuomo! The U.S. Postal Service! The State Board of Elections! The local Board of Elections! Trump! “If the President wanted to be helpful he could be helpful with the post office, right?” Cuomo said on a recent press call. “Because that was the single largest cause of delay. And I understand their situation also, but if you want to start pointing fingers that’s where you’d have to point fingers first.”

While a lot of the blame was placed on the BOE, nearly everyone also sympathized with their impossible task of streamlining a cumbersome process on an impossible timeline while strapped for resources. Asked what additional changes he would like to see made before November, Kellner answers quickly, “Nothing.”

“There’s no more time to make these changes,” says Kellner, laughing. “We’ve now got to work with what we have. Any tinkering this close to the election may cause more problems than it solves.”

Museu Nacional receberá obras de restauração a partir de abril

Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Email

Museu Nacional da UFRJ, na Quinta da Boa Vista, um ano após o incêndio. Foto: Agência Brasil

As obras de restauração e reabilitação do conjunto paisagístico do Paço de São Cristóvão, onde, antes do incêndio em setembro de 2018, estava instalada a sede do Museu Nacional, vão começar em abril. Na primeira etapa será feita a recuperação dos ornatos, nas salas nobres do prédio histórico, antiga residência da família imperial. Ainda nessa etapa, serão restauradas as estátuas das musas, que ficam no alto do prédio.

A historiadora do Museu Nacional, Regina Dantas, disse à Agência Brasil que algumas delas já eram vistas desde a época de dom João VI, que pretendia imitar a construção do Palácio da Ajuda, em Portugal, com musas nos torreões. Depois o Paço recebeu mais algumas com dom Pedro I. Entretanto, foi com dom Pedro II, ao espalhar mais musas de ponta a ponta no alto do Paço, que a construção ficou com a configuração de hoje.

“Elas têm uma representação de inspirar a criação artística e científica. Esse é o papel delas, por isso estão ali. Há deusas da história, da música, da comédia, da dança, da astronomia”, informou Regina Dantas.

Jardim das Princesas

Além disso, será feita a proteção dos elementos do Jardim das Princesas, como fontes de gnaisse e guirlandas em alto-relevo, bancos e tronos, mosaicos de conchas e fragmentos de louças. Era naquele lugar, ao lado do Paço, que crianças da corte imperial costumavam brincar e até estudar. O valor histórico do espaço é contado também pelas visitas de importantes pesquisadores, como Einstein, que chegou a plantar uma muda de pau-brasil no local. “Era um espaço privativo da família. Esse jardinzinho era da família, porque o jardim mesmo da família era a Quinta da Boa Vista inteira, que ia além do [estádio] Maracanã atual. Era muito grande”, destacou.

“As louças imperiais eram quebradas e as crianças quebravam mais ainda e colavam, usando a técnica italiana de mosaico para decorar sofá, poltroninhas todas enfeitadas com caquinhos de louças do Império. Dom Pedro II brincava lá quando pequeno e tinha um espaço como um caramanchão, onde estudava e as irmãs brincavam. Depois quando ele cresceu fez um troninho. Isso está preservado porque está afastado do Paço. O que está gasto é pela questão do tempo e sem uma restauração devida”, acrescentou.

Paço

A recuperação do prédio do Paço de São Cristóvão será a etapa seguinte. O diretor do Museu Nacional, Alexander Kellner, disse que houve atraso no projeto, mas estimou que as obras comecem até o fim do primeiro semestre. “Se a gente conseguir o dinheiro. Se houver verba. [Essa é] uma coisa que a gente está preocupado”, afirmou Kellner.

Laboratórios

Outra frente de obras do museu é para a construção de seis pavilhões, onde vão funcionar laboratórios, em um terreno de 44 mil m², vizinho à Quinta da Boa Vista, que abriga o museu. O terreno foi cedido pelo governo federal à Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, que conseguiu, com o apoio da bancada do estado no Congresso, a aprovação de uma emenda de R$ 55 milhões para garantir recursos necessários à infraestrutura da área, obras que já começaram. A previsão é de que, nos próximos meses, a administração do museu possa se mudar para as novas instalações. “Os laboratórios ainda não estarão concluídos, mas estamos atuando para que haja o processo licitatório e tudo aconteça. Tem um rito que é demorado, dentro desse contexto a gente espera, ainda este ano, estar lá”.

No local vão funcionar todos os laboratórios do museu e os espaços destinados às novas coleções de acervo. “São seis pavilhões, com mais de 20 laboratórios. O material de resgate que está sendo trabalhado em um anexo ao prédio do museu vai ser levado para lá. O Museu Nacional são três pontos: o ensino, a pesquisa e a extensão vinculada a ele. Vamos poder voltar a fazer pesquisa de forma condizente assim que tivermos esses laboratórios”, informou.

“A gente vai voltar à normalidade institucional, onde vai ter tranquilidade para fazer as nossas pesquisas, que são imprescindíveis ao país. Lembre-se que, entre outras coisas, a gente atua em diversidade, em questões de extinção, etnográficas, vários assuntos que hoje a gente está fazendo de forma precária”.

Kellnner disse ainda que a instituição recebeu várias promessas de doações para compor o acervo, mas que ainda não foram entregues porque não tem lugar para guardar. “Assim que tiver condição vamos receber. São peças da cultura africana, biológicas, de paleontologia e etnográficas de instituições do Brasil”,

Para o bioarqueólogo do Museu Nacional, Murilo Bastos, após o incêndio a construção desses laboratórios vai ser fundamental para a continuidade do trabalho de pesquisas da instituição. “Com a reconfiguração do museu e pesando que teve o incêndio, ele vai ser fundamental para toda a pesquisa e a parte de salas de aula,, porque o museu também é aula, educação e pesquisa. Esse outro prédio vai ser fundamental para que a gente possa, de fato, trabalhar em uma parte que não é tão conhecida pelo público”, afirmou Bastos.

Que tristeza, que pesar... Foi com sentimentos assim que recebi a notícia que o Museu Nacional do Rio foi consumido pelo fogo na noite de ontem. . Ali a memória não somente de nosso país, mas da humanidade, de nosso planeta e até do universo se perdeu. . Dos livros queimados, dos quadros que viraram pó, do acervo rico que virou cinzas... Apenas o meteorito de Bendegó e poucas coisas foram salvas. . Talvez o que tenha impactado mais fosse saber que a tragédia fora anunciada: anos antes o Museu clamava por ajuda, pela verba que nunca chegou. . Quando uma ala foi infestada por cupins não foi o governo federal que deu o dinheiro, mas o povo fazendo "vaquinha". O museu não era "prioridade" para nosso atuais e antigos governos (sim, vou jogar todo mundo no saco!) . Em maio deste ano o diretor do Museu, Alexander Kellner, já havia criticado a falta de verba. Mesmo com um contrato com BNDES de milhoes para iniciar a restauração somente papeis assinados foram feitos. Uma vergonha! . Para o grupo JBS (sim, aquele que tem a Friboi como uma das marcas) foi dado R$ 8,1 BILHÕES do BNDES, com diversos desembolsos imediatos, ou seja, assinou, recebeu e foi para as contas da empresa. Uma vergonha! . Falta integridade, falta humanidade, falta respeito, falta um olhar de amor para com o povo, com o nosso legado no mundo. O que vamos deixar para nossos filhos? . . . . #museunacional #patrimoniohistorico #luto #historiadobrasil #quintadaboavista #historia #cultura #museu #riodejaneiro #incendio #fogo #museum #vergonha #livrosqueseforam #livrostagram #llvreiros #instalivros #livrosperdidos #bookstagram #museunacionaldoriodejaneiro #repost @lsmorganbr https://www.instagram.com/p/BnSk_ggl5N8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v8tr6227vhze

Aula 12 e 13

Cultura da mídia

CULTURA DA MÍDIA - É mediadora dos processos de formação de identidade

Impacta muitas pessoas

D Kellner - Consumir a mídia criticamente

Adorno - Mídias de massa não são boas em nenhum sentido

INDUSTRIAL

tecnológico, interativo

A mídia é um processo de mediação

As coisas seguem um caminho. A música Tal está aqui porque foi significada, transmitida pela mídia e chega em todos os lugares

Mediação - conceito: estrutura

Mediador externo: Transparição do fato em notícia, tradução

DEPENDE MUITO DE QUEM ESTÁ MEDIANDO, as coisas não são absolutas ali

Matrizes referenciais (influenciadores)

Conjunto de referências simbólicas dos indivíduos

Licenciamento mídia/ mercado

-------------------------------------------------

Harvey Weinstein foi massacrado pelos jornais e pela mídia quase que inteira. Seus crimes e denúncias foram intensamente expostos e sua empresa faliu por conta da veiculação do escândalo e críticas contra ele. Porém, como aprendemos, a mídia depende muito de quem está veiculando e a escrevendo. Para ilustrar isso, achei um artigo do The Times of Israel que discorda com a maior parte do que a mídia e a grande parte da população está falando. Muito provavelmente é para chamar atenção e ser polêmico, mas realmente é uma coisa a ser comentada e mostrada.

Cooptação

Cybercultura- San Junipero de Black Mirror

É uma metanarrativa que vai nos enganando. Só existe um tempo, que é o futuro, o resto é uma experiência fantasiosa de quem participa disso. Há um outro estado de consciência que está sendo aprofundado pela tecnologia.

O céu e o inferno de Allan Kardec está sendo claramente representado no Tucker's e o Quagsmire. O que interessa é entender a tentativa de construção de inteligência artificial que esta tomando lugar da fantasia e o desejo. Ali claramente era o desejo das pessoas. A eternidade é uma cópia do estado de consciência.

O episódio termina em um estilo Thelma e Louise, que pulam em um abismo e morrem felizes indo para a eternidade - uma eternidade existe. O final mostra uma versão tecnológica do paraíso com as capsulas no sistema. A ideia da vida eterna que antes era vendida pela igreja católica, agora é proporcionada pela tecnologia. Se alguém desliga aquilo, essa "eternidade" acaba. É o episódio mais triste, dos 23 episódios é o único que mexe com o afeto e tristeza. As conversas duplas percorrem todo o episódio.

Nos anos 80, não havia uma tranquilidade em relação a interação de negros e brancos e a diversidade sexual.

Reflexão do que a tecnologia pode fazer em relação ao luto e a melancolia. Aquela tecnologia supostamente consegue transmitir o que as pessoas estão sentindo - viagem de pensamento.

Cooptação - passa uma idéia de acoplagem

• Kellner fala de um sistema maior no sentido de uma cultura que nos emperra e nos abarca a vida. Tem uma pesquisa inglesa, que olhamos para a cultura da mídia a cada 3 segundos, mesmo dormindo. Essa tecla é algo da ordem da cultura da mídia, que é hegemônica. Não é a única, mas é uma das principais, junto com cultura do consumo. Não é um movimento regular. - Beyoncé se relaciona no sentido de estar dentro dessa cultura que está sempre na nossa cabeça.

Os movimentos contraculturais são rejeitados pela cultura de massa. Na ideia de cooptação está presente a ideia de banalização, de virar comercial. Algo que estava fora dos grandes lugares da mídia, quando são acoplados, com certeza há uma influência que alguns veem como negativo.

Quando o RAP foi para as grandes gravadoras, seu discurso foi mais banalizado e houve um aumento de consumo. É um ritmo usado desde sempre com ordem de protesto, então ele pode ser utilizado por meninas islâmicas como forma de protesto.

RAP -> Rythm and poetry.

Um público não esperado é alcançado. Qual a perda? Banalização. Ganho? Novos estilos criados pela influência.

Mídia proporciona acesso para umas pessoas que não teriam - por isso a Beyoncé tem uma influência global. Essa cooptação dá voz a algumas pessoas. Banalização e processo de resiginificação está sempre presente. Para a cultura ser geral, para todos entenderem as propriedades das mesmas, há essa banalização.

Não há tanto a ruptura artística esperada pelos artistas, vira um evento casual -> sociedade do espetáculo.

Adorno diz que é melhor ninguém ter acesso do que acontecer banalização.

A cultura da mídia tem uma influência grande no RAP, devido a banalização que dilui o estilo, e ele possui influência na criação de novos ritmos como o Acid Jazz (menor mas possui).

Essa banalização permitiu espalhar a informação o que fez chegar nas pessoas que criaram novos gêneros. Há muitas banalizações que tornam a interpretação emaranhada. Não é só na cultura da mídia como sistema hegemônico que ocorre cooptação.

Cinema de Spike Lee - fora da industrialização/lógica do Oscar.

Kellner atribui ao Spike Lee (do the right thing, jungle, etc) a inauguração de um gênero cinematográfico dentro dessa industria - murphy, chris rock, o que não havia antes do Spike Lee.

Adivinhe quem vem para jantar - anos 50. Antes tem o morgan freeman que concorre ao oscar como coadjuvante.

O cinema é misturado diante de uma narrativa.

• a história de joyce = preconceito entre minorias e até no próprio grupo excluído - temática abordada pelo Spike Lee em Faça a coisa certa.

Hate group or hateful reporting? This is why alleged 'news organization' ABC News is under fire

AG Sessions delivered speech to an alleged “anti-LGBT hate group,” but the DOJ is refusing to reveal what he said. https://t.co/2OyKKBSjGM pic.twitter.com/sKfGLlxuA8

— ABC News (@ABC) July 13, 2017

ABC News is under fire for a story in which it characterizes the Alliance Defending Freedom as "an alleged hate group."

In some ways, it's the same ole, same ole.

Click the above links, and you can read my GetReligion colleague Mark Kellner's excellent recent commentary on the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling certain conservative organizations as "hate groups."

Kellner rightly asked: "Here's a proactive journalistic question: Does expressing one's faith and beliefs always and without exception equal hate?"

Apparently, ABC didn't get the memo.

So we end up with this headline today:

Jeff Sessions addresses 'anti-LGBT hate group,' but DOJ won't release his remarks

And the lede:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions delivered a speech to an alleged hate group at an event closed to reporters on Tuesday night, but the Department of Justice is refusing to reveal what he said.

Sessions addressed members of the Alliance Defending Freedom, which was designated an “anti-LGBT hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2016, at the Summit on Religious Liberty at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, in Dana Point, California.

Let's be real clear: The fact that the attorney general gave a closed-door speech is certainly a valid news topic to investigate. But at this point, can anybody really consider the SPLC a nonpartisan source when it comes to identifying hate groups?

(To be fair, NBC News had an equally horrid report, by it's "NBC Out" desk.)

The Wall Street Journal had a spot-on opinion piece just recently on "The Insidious Influence of the SPLC":

Aided by a veneer of objectivity, the SPLC has for years served as the media’s expert witness for evaluating “extremism” and “hatred.” But while the SPLC rightly condemns groups like the Ku Klux Klan, Westboro Baptist Church and New Black Panther Party, it has managed to blur the lines, besmirching mainstream groups like the FRC, as well as people such as social scientist Charles Murray and Somali-born Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a critic of Islamic extremism.

So it's probably no surprise that the Alliance Defending Freedom fired back at ABC this afternoon:

Alliance Defending Freedom to ABC News: Retract defamatory story, issue apology https://t.co/MzxnSzTkhx pic.twitter.com/17PDH4gTGr

— AllianceDefends (@AllianceDefends) July 13, 2017

The ADF issued this statement from legal counsel and director of communications Kerri Kupec:

ABC News has committed journalistic malpractice. For ABC News to essentially cut and paste false charges against Alliance Defending Freedom by a radically left-wing, violence-inciting organization like Southern Poverty Law Center is a discredit to ABC News and to the profession. Americans’ trust in media is cratering, and the blatant bias and lack of professionalism that ABC attempted to pass off as news can only serve to confirm and intensify that distrust. Alliance Defending Freedom is one of the most respected and successful Supreme Court advocates in the legal profession, having won seven cases at the high court in the last seven years. Southern Poverty Law Center spends its time and money attacking veterans, nuns, Muslims who oppose terrorism, Catholics, Evangelicals, and anyone else who dares disagree with its far-left ideology. Meanwhile, ADF works every day to preserve and affirm free speech and the free exercise of religion for people from all walks of life and all backgrounds because we believe freedom is for everyone. For the sake of its own integrity, ABC News should issue an apology to Alliance Defending Freedom and retract the defamatory story it published Wednesday.

By the way, The Federalist has published Sessions' remarks online, and senior editor Mollie Hemingway — a former GetReligionista — has noted:

Here’s why reporters such as Pete Madden and Erin Galloway should be wary before slightly rewriting SPLC press releases and passing off the work as their own. SPLC previously had a reservoir of credibility based on a history of good work exposing legitimately nefarious individuals and groups. In recent years, however, that reservoir has all but dried up as SPLC has gone after reasonable groups it merely disagrees with politically but labels as hate groups. It engages in this campaign while ignoring serious problems on the left.

At the American Conservative, Rod "Friend of this Blog" Dreher commented on "ABC’s outrageous anti-Christian smear."

And at the National Review, David French wrote that the media should beware because the SPLC "has become a dangerous joke."

I could go on, but you get the point: This is more a case of hateful reporting than an actual hate group.
