This article outlines how the Correctional Officer series grappled with the task of professionalizing corrections in a nonstandardized environment and the series' own position as a bad object. I provide a narrative analysis of three examples from the Correctional Officer series, exploring how corrections is justified to the individuals actually doing it. This article pays particular attention to moments when the series drops its approach to the officer as a modern, \"loose\" subject, making visible unspoken anxieties centered around sexuality, race, and professional loyalty.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129520205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author argues that The Rocketeer’s failure exemplifies the fluidity of industry discourse in the early 1990s about the specific textual forms franchise properties were to emphasize. Through a history of the textual negotiation of The Rocketeer as undertaken by multiple production cultures, the article shows that despite the several factors contributing to producers’ confidence in The Rocketeer as an inherently franchisable text—including its toyetic potential, its visual design, and its displaceable 1930s historical setting—Disney actually embraced the latter in its marketing and merchandising of the film.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128689113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While 4D cinema is typically positioned as an innovative response to declining cinema attendance, we argue that 4D cinema has its roots in earlier developments outside the multiplex cinema space and can be traced to a long history of immersive, 4D cinema experiences that offered more sensorially invasive cinematic experiences. While highlighting examples of early attempts to alter the sensory dominance of audiovision in pre-1960s cinema, the primary focus of this article will be the late 1980s, particularly the 1990s. It was during this decade that the film industry, as part of a growing conglomerate media structure, began to experiment with and solidify multisensory cinematic experiences. This form of experimentation, which pushed the boundaries of traditional film viewing beyond a passive form of entertainment, primarily took place in the context of the theme park, which was itself emerging as a major player in entertainment culture.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133569146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the New York Post put it, the show was “an immoral exploitation of youthful curiosity about sex.” While Dawson’s Creek embraced a relatively permissive discourse on teen sexuality beyond what was sanctioned by the conservative politics of its time, the series’ depiction of sex actually adhered closely to hegemonic norms. Reading Dawson’s Creek in its circuit of culture—including TV Parental Guidelines, abstinence-only sex education, and the Kaiser Foundation’s 1996 Sex on TV study—this article argues that panicked reactions to the series resulted from a widespread belief in media effects and the series’ mere potential ability to offer young adults access to sexual knowledge.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125504349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue for an approach called “militant evidence” as an expanded and updated framework for media activism and the use of visible evidence. In this formulation, accumulated visible evidence is deployed within larger media and activist ecologies toward an abolition of police violence.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133273252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay examines the impact of the Interstate Highway System on the popular imagination of rural space in the postwar United States, first through an analysis of government and sponsored films that promoted construction of the system and emphasized its status as an aesthetic project that would usher in a new visual experience of the US interior influenced by cinematic concepts. These films show that interstate highway planners sought to bypass untidy, peopled places in favor of smoother, more convenient spaces. Within this new paradigm, bypassed rural spaces—once considered a wellspring of \"American values\"—were increasingly viewed as suspect. The essay concludes by connecting the new visual experience of interstate travel to the rise of the slasher-horror genre, which was influenced by superhighway construction and capitalized on the emergent view of the countryside as a frightening space.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131280492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The growing body of scholarship on cinematic space and place overwhelmingly focuses on the ways that films reveal and rely upon the history of specific sites. This piece takes a different tack, focusing on the fundamental impact that budgetary and logistical constraints have on urban representation. Analyzing the production context of The Killer Elite rather than the film text elucidates how locations can be chosen and transformed to suit scripted fantasies and available resources, with limited concern for local realities. This approach reorients the discussion of film locations from the broad but often disconnected paradigms of financial incentives and indexical representation toward more specific decision-making processes that favor sites that efficiently and affordably suit narrative imperatives. Locations are not just settings but sets, and this history suggests how they might be productively read as constructions rather than depictions.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"279 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131826040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

"Emek Is Ours, Istanbul Is Ours": Reimagining a Movie Theater through Urban Activism “埃米克是我们的，伊斯坦布尔是我们的”:通过城市行动主义重新构想电影院

Yasar","doi":"10.7560/VLT8305","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7560/VLT8305","url":null,"abstract":"abstract:The loss of historic movie theaters in cities, routinely seen across the globe under neoliberal capitalism, brings up critical questions concerning the relationship between spaces of moviegoing and urban geographies. In particular, the closing or destruction of local cinema halls often highlights distinct sociocultural designs that national governments aim for in implementing urban renewal programs. This article considers civic action as a powerful means by which local communities respond to such programs by focusing on a grassroots movement that developed in defense of the now-displaced Emek Movie Theater in Istanbul, Turkey. Through an analysis of the discourse and tactics that Emek's defenders mobilized from 2010 through 2013 to oppose the theater's renovation project, this article argues that the movement reconstructed a film exhibition space and its surrounding neighborhood as the nexus of a collective struggle against the AKP (Justice and Development Party) government's authoritarian control. Emek's renewed social function as an outlet for civic-political demands demonstrates how local concerns can resignify cinema spaces in light of urban, national, and global developments.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"10890 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133802787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

WGPR-TV Detroit: Building Black Media Infrastructure in the Postrebellion City WGPR-TV底特律:在战后城市建立黑人媒体基础设施

It argues that WGPR-TV not only challenged local white hegemony by designing black community programs aimed at a local black audience but also developed media infrastructure to intervene in broader racialized systems of civic governance and community advocacy. While this period in Detroit history is largely associated with rising crime rates, economic recession, and accelerated architectural decline, archival research demonstrates ways black citizens used television to articulate the politics of their own emplacement in the city and produced content that countered the distorted representations of black urban life found in mainstream fare. This article thus details local strategies designed to sustain black media infrastructure in the city, despite the instability of UHF television and the depletion of opportunities for business development in 1970s Detroit. In doing so, local television production and distribution historiography are positioned as a means to better understand black media responses to political, spatial, and economic change in urban centers.","PeriodicalId":335072,"journal":{"name":"The Velvet Light Trap","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127717333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
