Roger Ebert’s Film Criticism
THE age of seventy-one, he was lauded by his colleagues for bringing "the appreciation of film, and film criticism, to the widest possible audience and into the twenty-first century" (Van Horn and Nelson) and for his distinctive ability "to connect the creators of movies with their consumers" (Corliss). At the time of his death, Ebert was, indeed, widely known to movie goers. His reviews for the Chicago Sun-Times, where he had worked for forty-si…
Popular Culture Forms
This entry begins with a discussion of the scope and impact of serial narratives on the development of national television broadcast systems worldwide, then shifts to specific focus on US daytime soap operas. Soaps engage numerous sociological issues, including social identity, sociality/community, and cultural legitimation, and study of the genre is ongoing in multiple social‐scientific and humanities‐oriented disciplines
Discourses of Distribution
Occupying the organizational space between television’s culture world of production and its audience, TV distribution serves as the institutional site where the industry implements its strategic transactions of global buying, selling, and transmission. Distribution not only connects the industrial processes of production and consumption to one another: these processes also transform TV texts and their meanings in the process. By clarifying how th…
Les discours de la distribution
Située entre l’univers culturel de la production télévisuelle et son audience, la distribution est une étape dans la circulation des biens télévisés : c’est dans cet espace institutionnel que le secteur de la télévision met en œuvre ses stratégies commerciales d’achats, de ventes et de diffusions à l’échelle mondiale. Mais la distribution ne se contente pas de relier les processus industriels de production des programmes et leur consommation, ell…
Soap Fans , Revisited
In 1995, we (Harrington and Bielby) published Soap Fans, an ethnography of the social organization of US daytime soap opera fans, and a book that sits uneasily between the first wave of Western fan studies which celebrated the communal and potentially resistant practices of fan communities, and the third wave which focused on intra- and inter-personal pleasures and motivations of fans (Gray, Sandvoss, and Harrington 2007). Our aim in this chapter…
Aging, fans, and fandom
In this chapter, the authors focus on an earlier project in which they introduced insights from gerontology—the interdisciplinary study of age and aging—into fan studies. Fandom in youth and adolescence has received considerable attention over the years from industries and scholars alike, reflecting both the profit potential of the youth market and long-held associations between fan practices and childhood development. Physiological changes assoc…
Populating the Universe
The study of Star Trek fans by Henry Jenkins and Camille Bacon-Smith launched the analysis of fans&s; interpretive communities by scholars within the US. Twenty-two participants were interviewed altogether, a few individually, though most in small groups of between two and seven. Potential interviewees were approached by the first author while waiting in line for various panel presentations, based on visual and/or auditory cues alluding to an int…
Uma perspectiva sobre fãs ao longo da trajetória de vida
In this article we explore a life course perspective on fandom, with particular emphasis on fandom and adult development. While there is growing interest in issues of age and aging within fan studies and within media studies more broadly, there is a tendency in this literature to discuss aging and the life course atheoretically, ignoring a rich body of scholarship in fields that examines how lives unfold over time. Our goal in this manuscript is …

Aging, Media, and Culture
The intersections of aging, media, and culture are under-explored given trends in population aging, rapid increases in the mediation of everyday life, and the growing cultural significance of media consumption at the global level. This book brings together an international collection of critical scholars, both well-established and up-and-coming, from the various academic disciplines that share a common interest in the future study of aging and me…
Film Discourse on the Praised and Acclaimed
This research examines the aesthetic elements of contemporary film criticism. Although a restricted field of film production has arisen beside the large-scale field, including an elite critical discourse, the film industry remains relentlessly oriented to its goal of producing commercial products that achieve widespread popular appeal. This differentiation becomes apparent in the types of films validated by publics, peers, and critics. Our explor…
Life course transitions and the future of fandom
We explore the future of media fandom through integrating insights from gerontology, human development, fan studies, and marketing. Given population aging and the dismantling of the normative 20th-century life course, along with rapid changes in the extent to which our lives are mediated, fandom is undergoing significant modification. We focus on how new findings on emotional maturation over the life course and scholarly identification of self-na…
Freedom between the lines
Our research examines the relationship among identity, age, gender and athleticism through a study of the association between sports clothing and the identity work of pre-adolescent female soccer players. Based on participant-observation and interviews conducted at three co-ed youth soccer camps, we find that age is an important element of identity, particularly as it intersects with the girls’ evolving understanding of femininity and engagement …
Staking Claims
This study examines who speaks to cultural value in the world market for television, what criteria are invoked for product appraisal, and how aesthetic criteria are deployed to explore the ways in which cultural arbiters and critical appraisal contribute to transnational culture worlds. Findings reveal that product appraisals consist of rational, concrete criteria that signal profitability alongside aesthetic criteria that reflect dimensions of e…
Birthing a Mother
Global TV 2010
Television's world market is a complex arena where the costly products of this vigorously profit-oriented culture industry are traded globally.Given that the ultimate success of a show that crosses borders is all but impossible to predict, the aim of our recent book Global TV: Exporting Television and Culture in the World Market (Bielby & Harrington, 2008) was to

Cognitive Functioning in Middle and Old Age Adults
Relatively little theoretical attention has been directed to the question of cognitive status in the latter portion of the life-span. A review of the literature on Piagetian cognitive functioning (i.e., logical operations, animism, moral development, egocentrism) indicated wide individual differences in adulthood cognitive performance with continued cognitive development for at least some middle-age subjects on certain cognitive tasks. Generally,…
The Past as Resource
In this exploratory study we introduce conversation analysis as a method for locating the significance of the life story or personal narrative in the everyday lives of the elderly. To illustrate our hypotheses, we draw upon a small sample of recordings of conversations between elderly dyads and compare them with comparable data collected among young adults. We suggest that among old people there is a broad recalling of the past in the context of …
Bombshells on Film
This research explores the gendered representation of women in mainstream military films produced in the United States over a 70-year period when the official capacity of women in armed service underwent significant transformation. Utilizing contextualized visual semiotics, findings reveal that these films present women's standing as uncertain at best by reinforcing their exclusion from many nontraditional feminine roles or by setting them up for…

The Depth of Shallow Culture
Keep Your Fans to Yourself
This essay explores different understandings of fans and fandom between sport studies and pop culture studies through presentation of survey data originally collected for a study on global fandom/global fan studies. Email surveys from 65 fan scholars around the world reveal important distinctions between sport scholars and pop culture scholars in terms of their basic understandings of fans and fandom, the role of self-reflexivity in fan research,…
I Will Follow Him
Tests competing explanations for why wives in dual-earner couples are less willing than husbands to relocate for a better job. Hypotheses are derived from a neoclassical market model. Results from a maximum-likelihood probit model that uses data from the 1977 Quality of Employment Survey indicate that couples' orientation to the "provider role' shapes how they respond to job opportunities. A husband's potential loss from a move appears to deter w…
Family Ties
This paper examines the process by which married men and women form and balance work and family identities.Hypotheses derived from alternative conceptualizations of the commitment process are tested with data from the 1977 Quality of Employment Survey.We find thatfor both men and women, engagement in work and family roles leads to identification with those roles.However, the process of identity formation differs for men and women in ways that cor…
All Hits Are Flukes
Drawing upon institutionalist theory this artcle analyzes how the introduction of new cultural objects produced for a mass audience is managed through an organized discourse. Data come form annoucements of prime-time television series in development for the 1991-92 season by the four U.S. television networks. Maximumlikelihood logit analyses support the conclusion that network programmers working in a highly institutionalized context use reputati…
Organizational Mediation of Project-Based Labor Markets
We examine how organizations that mediate "life-of-project" employment segment the labor market in a culture industry. Using longitudinal data on writers for television and feature films, we examine trends in the extent to which type of agency representation affects writers' employment and earnings. Elite or "core " agencies are those that transcend their role as market brokers between the suppliers and purchasers of writing services by participa…
Work Commitment, Sex-Role Attitudes, and Women's Employment
Commitment to Work and Family
Demographic change and behavioral shifts in employment and household arrangements have caused scholars and social critics to question the nature of individuals' involvement with work and family. Interpreting the cultural meaning of those behavioral changes requires the study of individual commitment per se. This chapter reviews research on commitment to work and family by examining issues of definition, measurement, and specification of the conce…
She Works Hard for the Money
Recent developments in human capital theory suggest that men and women differ in how they allocate effort to work activities. This paper uses the 1973 and 1977 Quality of Employment Surveys to test the assumption that women allocate less effort to work because of their family and household responsibilities. Regression and ordered probit analyses show that, on average, women allocate more effort to work than do men. Further, the sex difference is …
A Sociological Perspective on Gender and Career Outcomes
Both economists and sociologists have documented the association between gender and career outcomes. The challenge for both disciplines lies not in showing that gender is linked to employment outcomes, but in explaining the associations
Women and Men in Film
Distinctive features of culture industries suggest that women culture workers face formidable barriers to career advancement. Using longitudinal data on the careers of screenwriters, we examine gender inequality in the labor market for writers of feature films. We hypothesize and test three different models of labor market dynamics and find support for a model of cumulative disadvantage whereby the gender gap in earnings grows as men and women mo…
Cumulative Versus Continuous Disadvantage in an Unstructured Labor Market
This article uses longitudinal career history data for the period 1982 through 1990 to explore the mechanisms that produce a gender gap in earnings among writers in the television industry. Two models of labor market dynamics are compared. The first is a model of cumulative disadvantage whereby differential access to opportunity is increasingly consequential over the course of writers' careers. The second is a model of continuous disadvantage whe…

That's Our Kind of Constellation
Building on more than two decades offeminist analysis of the family, this article takes a neoinstitutionalist approach to examine some of the ways that sex, gender, and sexual orientation intersect in lesbianheaded two-parent families, affecting how they construct their roles as mothers. Institutionalist theory tends to de-emphasize how actors deliberately construct social arrangements such as parenting roles within the family. The authors' analy…

Places, Faces, and Other Familiar Things
Opening America
The U.S. dominance of the international television marketplace has long been a central focus for media scholars and policy leaders concerned with television’s impact on national culture. Thus, research on the export of U.S. television programs has focused almost exclusively on its “one-way flow,” and relatively little scholarly attention has been devoted to how programming from abroad fares in the United States or to how U.S. dominance in the glo…

Rethinking Marriage
This study investigates the relationship between individuals' expectations for marriage and their beliefs about the social world. Drawing on the neoinstitutionalist perspective and employing a repeated cross-section design, this study analyzes survey data on young adults from 1967 and 1994 to examine the relationship between attitudes about social relationships and marriage expectations, stability and change over time in marital expectations, and…
Career Sex-Atypicality and Career Involvement of College Educated Women
This paper examines factors affecting the use of undergraduate training (full-time employment or professional training after the baccalaureate) and continuity in women's pursuit of sexatypical careers. Analyses utilize longitudinal data collected by the National Opinion Research Center from 1961 through 1968 on 1685 females who received undergraduate degrees in 1961. Causal models are estimated with career sex-atypicality and career involvement s…

Where Did you Hear That
What happens when gossip—one of the most traditionally intimate forms of communication—“goes public” on electronic bulletin boards? We explore how impersonal trust, generated by the mode of transmission and the social context in which it occurs, alters gossip in particular and observable ways. Drawing upon exchanges about the entertainment industry that are representative of gossip on electronic bulletin boards, we find that members draw upon a v…

Towards a Model of Female Occupational Behavior
Substantial evidence suggests that women have added the role of worker to their characteristic adult roles of wife and mother. The inclusion of a work cycle in the female life course is a significant alteration of traditional roles, and is likely to have a major impact on both individual lives and the social structure. However, little has been done to incorporate these changes into theoretical perspectives on occupational development. This paper …

Explaining Gender Stratification and Inequality in the Workplace and the Household
Dissatisfied by existing theoretical explanations of gender inequality in the labor market, Fiorentine and Brines argue for incorporating gender-based symbolic-normative structures as consequential for gender stratification. Fiorentine incorporates norm-based gender differences in occupational choice as determinants of gender stratification but largely fails in his effort to incorporate the concepts of agency and equity as the means by which ineq…

Claims to Fame
Moving from People magazine to publicists' offices to tours of stars' homes, Joshua Gamson investigates the larger-than-life terrain of American celebrity culture. In the first major academic work since the early 1940s to seriously analyze the meaning of fame in American life, Gamson begins with the often-heard criticisms that today's heroes have been replaced by pseudoheroes, that notoriety has become detached from merit. He draws on literary an…
