In Baymens article "Postnationalism he thinks that people focus more on ideas and values. Hence he thinks the world is becoming more in depth with globalism and going against nationalism, which would be postnationalism. He describes four types of postnational solidarity. THey are spirtual, material, humanist, and life-emancipatory. The author also talks about the growth of postnationalism in europe after WW2. He also speaks of how the U.S did not adopt postnationalism and developed a form of imperialism.
In Halle's reading, "Apprehending Transnationalsim", globalization and capitalism are discussed. He discusses how trade and free market were were majorily important to globalization. Global trade is something that has been around all throughout history. He discusses that this was a huge cause of globalization. Throughout the rest of the reading the author speaks of the film industry. He talks about the differences between American Films and other films such as European Films. He then shows that American films eventually became more popular than European films when there were disputes about adding sound to the films. This is when American films took over the power.
The last article "Responses to Beoliberal Globalization in the Mercosur Region", went very in depth with globalization. It starts with defining the basic concepts; globalization and civil public space. This article also discussed the cosmopolitan democracy. The author then describes globalization effects. Such as saying that it caused societies to follow neoliberal ideology. The author also discuesses the cosmopolitan response to neoliberal ideology. In conclusion of the reading the author thinks that globalization can create new possibilities within political society but steers away from possibilities of politics. Hence, Mercosur area is probably going to be unsuccessful .
I found it interesting that American Film took over the market due to adding sound and voice. I never knew that the European market actually was a competitor with the American film industry. It is funny how being susceptible to change hindered europes film industry.
Do you think it is possible that such advancements that we do not even know of could rise up and help other film industries rise above the american film industry? COuld such events happen in the future such as WWI and the voice and sound addition to movies?

I also found it interesting that the European film market would compete with the United States. I do remember in a film class I took learning about a lot of innovations early in film that came from different places in Europe such as the Soviet Montage's and surrealism.
ReplyDeleteI think that Hollywood will dominate the film industry for quite some time, mainly due to the fact that so many special effects are easily made there and there is so much money available.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lou. I think that with new technology coming out especially how almost everything offered today is available in 3-d, I think that is just putting Hollywood in a position to remain dominant for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI think Hollywood is really built up already with money and capital. It will take investment on the part of Hollywood to spur growth in other countries. Hollywood may make a concerted effort to do this as the entertainment industry continues to grow.
