  • Lessons for Localism from the Censorship Wars Bibliography

    Essay argues that corporate domination of cultural forms accelerated in the 1980s and that this shift produced political conflicts over censorship and funding; it links the US withdrawal from UNESCO in 1984 and Jesse Helms's censorship campaign to a corporate project to privatize information and undermine the public sector. The author cites Herbert Schiller and Colleen Roach on telecommunications, privatization and transnational corporate interests; describes how postmodernity and multiculturalism fractured a four-way arts coalition and exposed arts organizations to financial warfare. The piece urges artists and regional/local movements to oppose transnational corporate consumerist hegemony while using corporate information networks; it predicts that video and data networking will transform the geographic basis of localism.

  • Transnational Documentaries: A Manifesto Bibliography

    John Hess and Patricia R. Zimmermann argue for a construct of transnational documentaries as adversarial media practice to contest corporate transnational concentration, deregulation and privatization; they document activist media practices and works such as Zoned for Slavery, Walt Disney in Haiti, El Naftazteca, Spin and Sonic Outlaws and cite institutional events including the February 1, 1996 telecommunications law and the 8th MacBride Roundtable (Seoul, Aug 24–27, 1996). The manifesto situates film and media scholarship within policy, political economy and international coalition-building and calls for interdisciplinary, transnational alliances and public-space interventions; both authors teach in Ithaca College’s Department of Cinema and Photography.
