Born from a desire for creative freedom, web series often circumvent screen industry gatekeepers and attract smaller, niche audiences; but fewer views do not necessarily make the format, or its audience engagement, less valuable. This book looks behind the scenes to uncover how and why audiences engaged with nine Australian web series released between 2020 and 2023. Interviews with web series producers reveal their motivations, audience acquisition and maintenance strategies, funding methods, and platform specific approaches. These first-hand accounts are then compared with viewership metrics and the content of audience commentary, resulting in the illumination of social, cultural, and industrial values of audience engagement with these innovative productions. This book identifies key factors that influence audience behaviours such as perceived authenticity, platform choice, and the types, forms, and costs of engaging with web series. These factors are considered with respect to online community building, relationships between creators and audiences, and commercial uses of the format, resulting in the creation of a typology of web series audiences. Readers benefit from understanding the value and characteristics of each type of viewer across a diverse range of examples featuring differing audience demographics, zero to over $1 million budgets, and platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. Vibrant narratives are used to convey each series' backstory, providing an informative and engaging reading experience for screen industry practitioners, marketing and broadcast professionals, and aspiring filmmakers. Academics and students in the fields of media studies, audience engagement, screen production, creative labour and entrepreneurship, social media, and algorithmic culture will also benefit from this research.

Cultural appropriation is one of the most contested issues of our time - but what does it actually feel like to have your culture taken, repackaged, and sold back to you? In this book, Rina Arya moves beyond familiar debates to place the lived experiences of minoritised communities at the centre of the discussion. Drawing on postcolonial theory, lived religion, cultural studies, and her experiences as a British South Asian, she examines how cultural forms are commodified, transformed, and returned to their communities with renewed authority. Arya argues that the deepest harms of cultural appropriation are not only economic or representational but also psychological, reshaping how people understand their culture and identity. Combining rigorous scholarship with personal testimony, this book challenges readers to rethink who has the authority to define culture - and what is lost when that authority shifts away from the communities from which culture originates.

Reclaiming the Debate on Cultural Appropriation

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This wide-ranging intellectual and media history traces China's emergence as a modern state in which boundaries blur between art and design, education and psychological conditioning. Tracking the parallel development of set design and social engineering from the 1920s to the 1960s, Background Matters examines the concept of huanjing (environment), a neologism introduced at the turn of the twentieth century that evoked heated intellectual debates and inspired frenzied aesthetic experimentation. Weihong Bao shows how efforts to reshape the mind consolidated the idea and art of environment by advancing a new theoretical notion of set design: both as aesthetic organization across film, theater, radio, and television and as social experimentation in worldmaking across geopolitical and transnational contexts. Inventive and breathtaking in scope, this book radically rethinks environment not as an external object but as the nexus of mind, medium, and society.

Background Matters: Volume 9

Crypto crises examines how the cryptocurrency industry has become a powerful force in global capitalism. Far from the promise of decentralisation, it reveals how crypto is deepening social inequality, fuelling environmental destruction, and reshaping political power. Drawing on extensive research and vivid examples, the book traces the rise of a new class of "crypto-capitalists" - from billionaire investors and mining conglomerates to populist politicians - who are embedding digital assets at the heart of finance and governance. It exposes the hidden networks of influence linking crypto to Wall Street, Big Tech, and the Global South, where exploitation is reframed as innovation. Provocative and timely, the book offers a critical account of how cryptocurrency's dream of liberation became one of the defining engines of twenty-first-century capitalism.

Reciprocity begins with a simple but unsettling question: why have we come to believe that human beings are naturally self-interested, competitive and acquisitive? This galvanising, perspective-shifting book dismantles the myth of Homo economicus to show us the way towards a world whose realities align with our true selves.Drawing on a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, evolutionary biology, psychology, economics and social epidemiology, Richard Wilkinson demonstrates that the characteristics which we assume to be our human nature are in fact effects of the market societies we live in. He traces how various systems of exchange have created profoundly different forms of social life throughout the course of history, shaping our behaviours, motivations, and the kinds of people we become. Though it may often feel like it, the avarice and oppressions that defines the twenty-first century are not an unchangeable reality we simply have to live with.The book explains why inequality, status competition and consumerism hold so much power over us and reveals the depths to which these forces are entwined with the ever-rising crises of mental illness, political polarisation and environmental destruction. Rather than asking how we can make individuals behave better, it makes a compelling case for restructuring our societies to make life happier, meaningful and more fulfilling for one and all.Rigorously researched, bracingly practical and full of passion and hope in equal measure, Reciprocity offers a bold reinterpretation of the world we live in. It equips us with the necessary tools to look beyond and remake it in our very own, amiably human image.

Critical Interventions

Pedagogy and the Struggle for Democracy brings together a selection of Henry Giroux's most incisive essays, analysing neoliberal fascism, public pedagogy, cultural politics, empire, and the politics of disposability, offering both a powerful critique of authoritarianism and a compelling vision of democratic resistance.One of the leading theorists of critical pedagogy and cultural politics, Giroux argues that authoritarianism is rooted not only in political institutions but also in culture, where power operates through education, media, language, historical memory, and the production of common sense to shape consciousness and identity. Developing the concept of neoliberal fascism, he demonstrates how market fundamentalism, authoritarian governance, and cultural power have fused into a new historical formation. Against this politics of domination, Giroux advances critical pedagogy as an essential moral and political practice for cultivating critical thought, collective agency, and the democratic capacities necessary to challenge authoritarianism and transform society.Essential reading for students and scholars of authoritarianism, fascism, neoliberalism, critical pedagogy, contemporary politics, education, cultural studies, political theory, and democracy, this book offers both an indispensable introduction to Giroux's thought and a timely resource for understanding, and resisting, the contemporary authoritarian turn.
