Summary

Rise of Franchises investigates the increasing dominance of sequels and franchises in the film industry, driven by business management decisions and creative strategies designed to maximize revenue. It explores how studios prioritize established intellectual property to mitigate risk in a volatile market. Surprisingly, franchises aren't solely a modern construct; their roots can be traced back to early film serials, showcasing a long-standing pursuit of audience loyalty. The book meticulously examines the financial incentives and creative compromises that shape today's Hollywood landscape.

 
This book is structured in three parts, starting with the evolution and key elements of the modern movie franchise, like transmedia storytelling and brand management. It then analyzes the economic forces driving the franchise model, such as globalization and data-driven decision-making. Finally, it explores the effects of this trend on independent filmmaking and cinematic diversity.

 
What sets this book apart is its balanced, interdisciplinary approach, integrating financial data with creative insights to provide a comprehensive understanding of the franchise phenomenon.

    The domed US Capitol Building is recognized around the world as America's most iconic symbol, the forum for representative democracy, and the physical stage for the transfer of executive power. As the United States grew in size and complexity, the Capitol was built, rebuilt, enlarged, and extended many times under the direction of the few who have served as Architect of the Capitol. This official heads the agency dedicated to preserving and upgrading this magnificent structure, and all the buildings and grounds of Capitol Hill. 
 
 
 
In Under the Dome, Alan Hantman, the Architect of the Capitol from 1997 to 2007, provides a personal account of how the Capitol works as a physical space; who runs it, how and why decisions are made about the security of the Capitol and the people who work there, and how politicians think about the Capitol Building. He also recounts security threats to the Capitol during his tenure—including the 1998 shooting murder of two police officers and the Capitol evacuation on 9/11 as a hijacked airplane approached—that underscore one of his greatest challenges as Architect. The tension between securing the Capitol and opening it to the public drove the design and construction under his direction of the Capitol Visitor Center, the largest expansion of the Capitol in its history, increasing its size by seventy percent.

    American Diva - Extraordinary...

    What does it mean to be a "diva"? A shifting, increasingly loaded term, it has been used to both deride and celebrate charismatic and unapologetically fierce performers like Aretha Franklin, Divine, and the women of Labelle. In this brilliant, powerful blend of incisive criticism and electric memoir, Deborah Paredez—scholar, cultural critic, and lifelong diva devotee—unravels our enduring fascination with these icons and explores how divas have challenged American ideas about feminism, performance, and freedom. 
 
 
 
American Diva journeys into Tina Turner's scintillating performances, Celia Cruz's command of the male-dominated salsa world, the transcendent revival of Jomama Jones after a period of exile, and the unparalleled excellence of Venus and Serena Williams. Recounting how she and her mother endlessly watched Rita Moreno's powerhouse portrayal of Anita in West Side Story and how she learned much about being bigger than life from her fabulous Tía Lucia, Paredez chronicles the celebrated and skilled performers who not only shaped her life but boldly expressed the aspiration for freedom among brown, Black, and gay communities. Paredez also traces the evolution of the diva through the decades. 
 
 
 
Filled with sharp insights and great heart, American Diva is a spirited tribute to the power of performance and the joys of fandom.
