Entertainment Industries
Entertainment Industries is the first book to map entertainment as a cultural system. Including work from world-renowned analysts such as Henry Jenkins and Jonathan Gray, this innovative collection explains what entertainment is and how it works. Entertainment is audience-centred culture. The Entertainment Industries are a uniquely interdisciplinary collection of evolving businesses that openly monitor evolving cultural trends and work within the…
Defining entertainment
Entertainment is a key cultural category. Yet the definition of entertainment can differ depending upon whom one asks. This article maps out understandings of entertainment in three key areas. Within industrial discourses, entertainment is defined by a commercial business model. Within evaluative discourses used by consumers and critics, it is understood through an aesthetic system that privileges emotional engagement, story, speed and vulgarity.…
Grounding the Internet
The advent of mobile internet and GPS led some to predict 'the death of geography'. With information no longer anchored to specific locations, there were concerns that geography would simply dissolve into a placeless, global 'Space of flows'. However, locative media is now shifting the focus away from placeless flows and back to geography. By equipping many mobile phones with GPS, locative media are now 'grounding the internet'. This article prov…
Creative suburbia
Creativity and the Australian suburbs
The locus of creative inspiration and production is commonly associated with either the dynamism of the inner city or with the natural landscape, with its Arcadian transformative associations. This article considers the spatiality of creative work in an in-between site: the outer suburbs in Australia. The outer suburbs occupy a conflicted status in the national imaginary: frequently regarded as the locus of consumption and materialism, they are l…
Seeing the Outer Suburbs
Collis C., Freebody S. and Flew T. Seeing the outer suburbs: addressing the urban bias in creative place thinking, Regional Studies. This paper draws upon quantitative and qualitative research into Australian cities to question the assumption that creative industries workers inherently seek to cluster in inner-urban areas. It challenges this foundational assumption by combining a critical application of the location quotient analysis of major Aus…
Entertainment industries at university
Universities have not traditionally trained students to work as producers in the entertainment industries. This key entertainment role involves balancing creativity, business and legal skills in order to generate and run entertainment projects. Queensland University of Technology has recently introduced a program to train students for these jobs. The program is interdisciplinary, drawing on expertise from the Creative Industries, Law and Business…
Beyond the Inner City
As the economic and social benefits of creative industries development become increasingly visible, policymakers worldwide are working to create policy drivers to ensure that certain places become or remain “creative places.” Richard Florida's work has become particularly influential among policymakers, as has Charles Landry's. But as the first wave of creative industrial policy development and implementation wanes, important questions are emergi…
Making Connections
The role of networks and their contribution to sustaining and developing creative industries is well documented. This article argues that although networks operate across geographical boundaries, particularly through the use of communication technologies, the majority of studies have focused on the ways in which networks operate in (a) specific inner-urban metropolitan regions or (b) specific industries. Such studies are informed by the geographi…
Political geographies of Mars
The task of this article is to provide an analysis of the uneven terrain of Martian political geographies in the context of western political economic trajectories. Focusing on debates over the nature of Mars’s legal status, the article attends to a key question, a question that has not yet been answered: should Mars be a terra communis – the common property of humanity, unavailable as private property – a terra nullius – or space available for p…
Critical legal geographies of possession
The Geostationary Orbit
This chapter attends to the legal and political geographies of one of Earth's most important, valuable, and pressured spaces: the geostationary orbit. Since the first, NASA, satellite entered it in 1964, this small, defined band of Outer Space, 35,786km from the Earth's surface, and only 30km wide, has become a highly charged legal and geopolitical environment, yet it remains a space which is curiously unheard of outside of specialist circles. Fo…
The Australian Antarctic Territory
Until 1975, the Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT), a territory that comprises a massive 42 percent of the polar continent, was a man’s world-not that of a man specifically but of a particular form of Australian masculinity. The AAT was a man’s world in two related ways. The first is the most obvious: a key requirement for Australian Antarctic work was a penis, and until 1975, when three women were allowed on the continent for several weeks in …
Assault on the unknown
Mawson and Mirnyy Stations
This article focuses on the spatiality of the Australian Antarctic Territory in the important 1954–61 period. Attending particularly to three key components of polar spatiality—geopolitics, international territorial law, and the built environment—the article analyses the development of the Territory as a unique Australian space. The 1954–61 period is particularly significant: during this period, the International Geophysical Year brought an unpre…
Cold colonies
In 1954, a small team of Australian men landed at Horseshoe Harbor and began constructing Mawson Station: the permanent colonization of Antarctica was initiated. Two years later, Americans began the construction of their major Antarctic base, McMurdo. Although Antarctica is routinely represented as an empty wilderness, over the last 50 years tens of thousands of humans have occupied the continent, most of them living in Antarctica's 40 national b…
Sites of benevolence
On the television show Backyard Blitz, Australians judged as deserving by their families and friends receive the gift of surprise makeovers to their gardens; in Australian public hospitals, trainee surgeons hone their skills on willing patients; in literary travel narratives, non-Indigenous Australian writers attempt to forge a relationship with the land and its traditional owners; and in inner-city Brisbane, the City Council builds lockers and s…
Introduction—Popular Cultures and the Law
In Bristol, a breastfeeding mother is ejected from a pub on the grounds that she has brought a minor into a drinking establishment, and that a pub is no place for a 'proper' mother. In Austria, public strollers through the city square are confronted with the sight of supposed asylum seekers in a large container, and are asked to vote online, reality TV style, to evict the refugee of their choice from the country. In Queensland, legislators try to…
The Proclamation Island moment
This article begins with a statement, and with a scene. The statement is a reasonably straightforward one: Australia claims 42 per cent of the distant offshore continent of Antarctica as its national territory. Or, to make this article’s governing statement speak directly to the themes of this issue: nearly half of Antarctica is part of the Australian nation; it is Australian space. This statement’s validity depends on national perspective: the 1…
