"I’ve Seen this Movie a Thousand Times: Risk and the Hollywood Film Business" A presentation by James McMahon Room 305, York Lanes, York University (Keele Campus), 2:30-4:30pm, Wednesday, November 13, 2013
ABSTRACT Why does Hollywood lack originality? Why is Hollywood cinema so repetitive? This presentation will theoretically and empirically explain why Hollywood's so-called risk-aversion is strategic. The decline in risk is a sign of how the major distributors have been able to exercise greater and greater control over the social relations of cinema. James McMahon is a PhD student at the Graduate Programme for Social and Political Thought, York University ([email protected]).This presentation is the third in a four-part Speaker Series on the Capitalist Mode of Power. The series is organized by capitalaspower.com and sponsored by the York Department of Political Science and the Graduate Programme in Social and Political Thought.
