Sinopse

Patronage Systems explores the crucial role of art patronage in shaping cultural production throughout history. It examines how wealthy individuals, corporations, and governments have influenced artistic expression, revealing that art funding is not a passive backdrop but an active force. For example, the Medici family's patronage during the Renaissance drastically shaped Florentine art and architecture, while the Catholic Church's support during the Baroque era led to the creation of grand cathedrals. Understanding this history is essential for navigating contemporary art funding models, including corporate sponsorships, government funding, and even emerging trends like NFTs. 

 
The book progresses through three key sections. First, it introduces core concepts of patronage, defining different types of patrons and exploring their motivations. Then, it delves into case studies from various historical periods and geographical locations, such as the Mughal Empire's influence on miniature painting. Finally, it analyzes modern patronage systems, including the rise of corporate sponsorship and the impact of digital platforms, providing a comprehensive view of art funding and its influence on cultural heritage.

The Frodo Franchise - The Lord...

Anônimo

How a single film trilogy became a global phenomenon that transformed modern Hollywood. 
Far more than a typical behind-the-scenes chronicle, Kristin Thompson’s landmark study The Frodo Franchise examines how The Lord of the Rings films became a cultural and industrial force that transformed moviemaking, marketing, digital technology, fan culture, and even the international profile of New Zealand. 
Drawing on extensive interviews with the filmmakers, designers, producers, studio executives, and craftspeople behind the trilogy, Thompson reveals how Peter Jackson and his collaborators seized a moment of rapid change in the early 2000s. The convergence of digital effects, online fandom, home-video innovation, and blockbuster economics created a perfect environment for a project that was as unprecedented in scale as it was influential. The result was not just three films, but a blueprint for the event-franchise era that followed. 
Thompson traces how The Lord of the Rings reshaped studio strategy, redefined fantasy filmmaking, altered global tourism, and set new expectations for cross-media storytelling. Written in 2006, her analysis remains strikingly relevant, showing why the trilogy’s impact continues to echo even through today’s entertainment landscape. 
In honor of the 25th anniversary of The Fellowship of the Ring, this special audiobook edition features a new epilogue by the author, reflecting on how The Lord of the Rings franchise has continued to expand across films, games, merchandise, and fan culture since the book’s original publication.
