What we can build on:

Dayglow's Escape Reality Tour
timespace (geography/distance/speed)
content across cultural boundaries
"the range of publicly available knowledge"
dynamics of ownership & control, content, consumption (production/distribution and demand)
consumers/fans as advertisers

Team 1 Ownership and Global Products (updated version) PLEASE UPDATE FOR VIEWING EASE! Steph^(talk) 13:57, 9 April 2011 (EDT)

What we can build on:

Croteau & Hoynes diagram of social relations - extend explanation with illustrations
dynamics of working conditions, audience participation, institutional control
Steph's diagram of three social relations (originally sketched on chalkboard)
What is the link between "ownership" and "globalization"? Why do we care??
more clarity and development of examples for "between" and "within" institutions
GAP: didn't mention copyright at all! :-/ to explain how labels control musicians (and audience access, too)
Where do the songs from your midterm video projects fit within the "three developments of globalization"?
Also, what range of genre selections (statistically) of the 21 categories listed in the presentation? What does this mean?
We're already in 'the matrix'
"...choose to look past.... we become the product..." quote
"trendhunters dissecting us"

What we can build on:

space, i.e., "the changing role of geography and physical distance" - isn't this a quote? so it requires a specific page & source citation? and (even though not specifically mentioned, time is embedded/implied too); and
content: How will/can selections of content in the final video projects articulate with globalization?

interweaving of politics and economics with culture: what streams of discourse do you join? i.e., communication for peace & justice (League of Nations, United Nations) or ______________ (what are the alternatives?)
the 'between institutions' list is a hodgepodge (slide 6) that needs tighter categorization. You've named entities within three types of institutions:

- government - two tiers: national and international

- non-profit organizations

- journalism

and two phenomena of social organization that all institutions (and individuals) participate in (either actively or unconsciously):

- propaganda

- the new world information and communication order. The specific acronym, NWICO, refers to a particular political proposal for changing media domination by wealthier nations

the 'within institutions' slide (9) mixes everything - it shows more of a history of interactions among institutions rather than selecting one institution and its internal struggles
individual levels of ACCESS and AGENCY are key!!
identification of IDEOLOGY in our class!!! (slide 12)
Matrix analogy and question: are we pawns or not? How will you represent this position in the final video projects?!
