“Star Wars”, Disney and creating myths – El Nuevo Diario

From a galaxy far away to the nearest cinema: “Awakens The Force”, the latest in the saga of “Star Wars” installment, is unavoidable this Christmas

The first title “. Star Wars “from Lucasfilm, owner of the franchise, was acquired by Disney in 2012 by 4,100 million dollars, it represents more than just the rebirth of a beloved science fiction series. It is the latest example of how Disney has flourished over the past decade after a series of smart acquisitions. After buying on Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm, Disney has skillfully capitalized on its intellectual property; . and in doing so, he has cemented its position as the market leader in the industrialization of mythology

His success lies in his mastery of the three elements of the creation of modern myths: casts, technology and toys .

Let’s start with the cast. The new Disney properties, which include everything from “Toy Story” (1995) to “Thor” (2011), well-tested advantage of the mythic structure to give your stories cultural resonance devices. Walt Disney himself had an intuitive understanding of the power of fables. George Lucas, the creator of “Star Wars” is an avid student of the work of Joseph Campbell, an American comparative mythologist who outlined the structure of “monomyth” in which a hero answers a call, it is assisted by a mentor character, traveling to another world, survives several tests and comes out triumphant.

Folklore

Both filmmakers seized gleefully ancient mythology and folklore. The universe of Marvel goes even further, directly appropriating fragments of Greco-Roman and Norse mythology. This becomes a bit ironic enthusiasm by the fierce Disney enforcement of intellectual property, and apparently perpetual extension of copyright.

The internal mechanics of the myths may not have changed much through time, but the technology used to disseminate certainly yes. That makes highlight the second area of ​​Disney experience.

In the days of Homer, legends were transmitted in the form of dactylic hexameter, but the creators of modern myths prefer computer graphics, special effects, 3D projection, surround sound and video distribution over the Internet, among other things. When Disney bought Lucasfilm, acquired not only the franchise “Star Wars”, but also Industrial Light & amp; Magic, one of the best special effects houses in the industry, whose magic on high technology is so vital to the films of Marvel Avengers to the epic “Star Wars.”

Also, when Disney was left behind by the shift to digital animation, cleverly revitalized his own film brand buying Pixar, such a pioneer in its field company as it had been Walt Disney’s hand-drawn animation.

The third ingredient

In addition, modern myths come in multiple media formats. Fantasy universes of Marvel and “Star Wars” are told in movies, TV shows, books, graphic novels and video games intertwined. Marvel plans are drawn up to the mid-2020s.

These days, however, is also expected to adopt myths physical forms as toys, merchandise and rides in theme parks. This is the third ingredient for the creation of myths.

Again Walt Disney was in the lead, to grant licenses for Mickey Mouse and other characters from the 30s, and opening the Disneyland theme park , original in 1955. Lucas led the film-related merchandise to a new dimension, accepting a salary reduction in exchange for directing all marketing rights of “Star Wars” (1977), a deal that earned him thousands of millions of dollars.

These rights are now owned by Disney, and is making the most of them. It expects sales of goods of “The Force Awakens”, from toys to garments, amount to 5,000 million dollars in the next year alone. In total, they have sold more than 32,000 million dollars in goods from “Star Wars” from 1977, according to NPD Group, a market research firm. By comparison, even “Harry Potter” and “James Bond” are villagers of disheveled appearance.



Marketing

What explains the power of all this modern mythology? There is more to it than the archetypal narrative, ingenious technology and marketing powerful.

Part of it could fill a void left by the decline of religion in a secular world empty, but also provides an expression of the fears today. The “Star Wars” original, in which a group of intrepid rebels defeat a technological superpower, was not too subtle Vietnam war investment. The universe of Marvel, originally a product of the era of the Cold War, has adapted well to the screen back to a world of surveillance to September 11 conspiracy and distrust of governments, large corporations and the power of technology . In uncertain times, when governments and military forces might seem unable to keep people safe and remain honest, public console themselves with the idea of ​​superheroes who come to the rescue.

These are modern myths so convincing because they use the primordial human longing for refuge, redemption and harmony. In this regard, they are like social networking platforms, which use technology to industrialize social interaction. Similarly, the creation of modern myths, although it depends on new tools and techniques, is really just the same old pressing buttons in the brains of the stone age.

That’s something instinctively understood Walt Disney and that the company he founded is exploding now as proficiently.

Bill Cosby, on bail after being accused of sexual abuse – ElEspectador.com

The American comedian Bill Cosby paid ten percent of the bail of one million dollars set by a court to remain free pending trial after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2004.

With a straight face and wearing a gray sweatshirt and dark pants, Cosby briefly appeared before a court in Elkins Park, a suburb of Philadelphia (EE. UU.), hours after the Prosecutor formulated against a charge of “aggravated indecent assault”.

The actor, against which it had issued an arrest warrant, went through a cloud of journalists and nearly tripped before reaching the door of the court.

The comedian, 78, surrendered his passport and paid in cash 10% of the deposit to continue free , since the judge set a preliminary hearing of the case on January 14.

After appearing for about fifteen minutes on the court, the comic turned into a black SUV escorted by a police vehicle to a nearby police station to be signed and provide fingerprints.

Cosby appeared before the court hours after the Attorney Montgomery County formulate charges against the actor in relation Andrea Constand, a former employee of Temple University (Pennsylvania) which holds that artist drugged and raped her at his mansion in the city of Philadelphia .

Charges carry a penalty of up to ten years in prison in a case that may result in one of the most notorious trials of all time against a Hollywood celebrity.

The comic, a married father of five children, first faces charges in connection with fifty women who accuse him of sexual abuse , a repeatedly denied allegations that the actor but have destroyed his image of “American Dad”.

In a press conference, the first deputy prosecutor of Montgomery County, Kevin Steele, said the indictment is based on research into a “relationship” with the victim interpreter that originated in the work of Constand in the basketball team at Temple University, where he studied Cosby.

According to Steele, who presented the charges as a result of “new information” provided in July, the events occurred one night early 2004 in the mansion of TV star, famous for such hit shows as “The Cosby Show”.

The woman, now 42, is a native of Canada, visited then Cosby at home, where he made two attempts at sexual approach that were rejected, so he urged the victim to take “came with three blue pills” to immobilize it.

“The evidence is compelling and sufficient to proceed” against the artist, said the prosecutor, adding that “a person in that state can not give consent.”

Months after the event, Constand returned to Canada where he lived with his mother, who reported in January 2005 his nightmare, according to the affidavit issued by the authorities.

That same month, the victim decided to inform the police of abuse and opened a research, although Montgomery County Prosecutor refused then criminal charges.

The lawyer Constand, Dolores Troiani, recently stated that his client is “a strong woman” ready to “do anything” requiring the authorities to cooperate in the case, according to US media.

Steele today announced the indictment few days before the deadline of twelve that Pennsylvania law requires to be prescribed a sex offense .

The prosecution acted after Bill Cosby demanded last December 14 for defamation seven of the fifty women who accuse him of sexually abusing them.

His lawyers argued that day that “Mr. Cosby says, bluntly, he neither drugged and sexually abused accused and that each defendant has maliciously published and knowingly untrue and accusations from autumn 2014 to Today, in an attempt to damage his reputation and extract financial benefits. “

The interpreter was in the sixties, seventies and eighties of the last century a landmark of television comedy in America.

The comic marked an era with such popular programs as “The Cosby Show”, broadcast by NBC, which has already announced that because of sex scandals, no longer working with the comedian.

In this “show” Cosby played the wise and understanding Dr. Cliff Huxtable, friendly character on which he built a benevolent public image which has now been made debris.

“Refugee” word of the year 2015 for Fundéu BBVA – El Nuevo Diario

“Refugee” is the word of 2015 for Urgent Spanish Foundation, promoted by the EFE Agency and BBVA.

For the third consecutive year, the Fundéu BBVA unveiled its word of the year , chosen from more than two hundred to which he has dedicated some of their daily recommendations over the past twelve months.

After choosing “escrache” in 2013 and “selfi” (adaptation to the Spanish spelling of the English voice “selfie” without “and” final) in 2014, the Foundation team has chosen this time by “refugee”, a term that is not new but has marked a decisive current information for the year ended .

“The concept that defines the word ‘refugee’ has generated many doubts and discussions between media professionals, as these have been well aware of the importance of being extremely rigorous when it comes to name the thousands of people fleeing a war against those who seek other opportunities elsewhere in life that are not theirs, “says the CEO of BBVA Fundéu Joaquin Muller.

He added that “The interest shown in this term and the many questions of journalists who have come to the Fundéu asking for clarification also reveal the concerns of these professionals to write with rigor and precision.”

“In the founding believe, therefore, that ‘refugee’ meets the conditions we asked the word of the year: it has been in the news and conversations in 2015, also has a certain interest from the linguistic point of view and is a common term to all the Spanish-speaking world, not only own a country or region. It is a new or term, is not relevant to our decision, “Muller explained

He adds.” The first condition is, unfortunately, obvious worldwide, but particularly in Europe The refugee crisis, tragedy, has made headlines throughout the year and is likely to remain so as long as the causes that trigger the flight of millions of people from Syria, Iraq, Libya and other countries do not cease. ”

From a linguistic point of view, the Foundation felt the need to clarify the difference in meaning between “refugee” and “immigrant”.

As a general rule and as defined in dictionary academics, immigrant is anyone who comes to a country to settle in. If we refer to this person from the perspective not of who enters a country, but who abandons his own, will be talking about “migrant”.

“migrant” is a more general term that includes both and is more common in the Spanish of America.

From a linguistic point of view, regardless of the precise definition established in international law, a “refugee” is one that ‘is forced to seek refuge outside their country as a result of war, revolutions or political persecution’.

“Use specific words to narrow the reality is a first step to interact effectively with it, “says Fundéu BBVA.

” Although the existence of a term covering both migrants and refugees could simplify the way of reporting, the truth is that this is a reality complex and distinguish the name of these groups help somehow and small scale, to distinguish the faces and the circumstances of each of the people who have had to flee their country. “

Before giving to make the final decision, the Foundation published a list of words in the twelve finalists that also included other refugee closely related to the present (“chikungunya”), the sports world (“sextet”) and the problems and social changes and technology (“inequality”, “polyamory”, “disruptive”).

They were also selected expressions of the environment of social networks or, at least, have made a fortune in it, such as “I like “Facebook and other networks,” trolling “and” zasca “an interjection has become one of the substantive fashionable in some Spanish records of Spain.

From the same field is” clictivismo “a Spanish alternative to “clicktivism”, the anglicized which concerns support for different causes only a click of your computer.

They completed the list, two other alternatives in Spanish to English words that have come into use in our means “gastroneta” for the English word “food truck” and “Flick”, which can replace the term “manspreading”, with which he alludes to how to sit some men, especially on public transport, with open legs.

It also emerged that just two days earlier had been diagnosed with the disease, so, apparently, the artist had been living with her unknowingly or unintentionally know.

For example, Ozzy Osbourne recognized him as one of his best friends: “He will be sorely missed, he was a warrior and a legend, I’ll see you on the other side.” Alice Cooper said: “He was innovative, honest with his art and continually relevant and did not care to be (…), I was always creating and redefining the hard rock and the role of the bass in it. Offstage, he was a gem. I can not believe that someone would not worship Lemmy “

The native musician North Wales carved out a career that can not fit into any conventional framework of the entertainment industry: no impose any discourse stopped marketing or tried to hide it was not a ‘pretty boy’ for the cameras. Meanwhile, his dynamite-laden phrases defined their unique personality.

History in episodes

Although the trio Motörhead emerged in London in the second half of the 70s, that is, almost 10 after the birth of Black Sabbath, a pioneer of metal, the band Kilmister is credited with a strong share creation of the genre (laid foundations for the thrash metal), being part of a movement called NWOBHM (New Wave of brittish heavy metal), with bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

However, the musical story of Ian Fraser Kilmister begins earlier, in the 60s, to witness the arrival of rock and roll like “music from outer space,” he said.

The musician remembered clearly, for example, seeing the Beatles in one of his first performances, when they were playing at the Cavern Club, before all the explosion.

In the second half of the 60s, he could integrate several Kilmister bands in the early psychedelic rock, first as a guitarist in The Rainmakers and The Rockin ‘Vickers, the latter signed with CBS. So it was not even called Lemmy Kilmister, but Ian Willis (surname of his stepfather). He also worked as a roadie (production assistant concerts) on British tours of Jimi Hendrix.

The start of the 70s would bring another episode, brighter, which lasted four years from 1971 to 1975 as part of the London band Hawkwind, who had nothing to do with rock hard, but with the so-called space rock, and with which he recorded albums such as Space Ritual. A simple titled Silver Machine, which reached number three in the listings are particularly stressed. At that debuted as a singer.

But, as recognized in interview with Michael Hann of The Guardian, last August -this remember that time, Kilmister he tabled a bottle of vodka for himself and one of the drink whiskey to the reporter, the energies flowing in his mind were very different from the rest of the group because it took “the wrong kind of drug” Kilmister was with the speed, a stimulating amphetamine, while the others were with hallucinogens.

So Kilmister was arrested for drug possession, which detonated his departure from the band. But at that time had written a song for Hawkwind and Motörhead was called that became the name of your new group.

The totem of rock

Since 1975, Kilmister started rolling with different musicians around his project, which he recorded 22 studio albums. But most striking is his career alive, because, as I said the bear, “a band has to be proven on stage, otherwise no band.”

In that It decant, became major influence on many artists of the burgeoning metalera wave of the 80s and, from there, the rock of the 90s, but also transversely many artists like Metallica and the Ramones, with whom he shared scene in historical presentations.

Everyone saw the rock apostolate Kilmister very large commitment to gender honesty, an authenticity that weighed everything.

His first encounter with Metallica, for example, occurs as the fanatics boys to die from Lemmy, who in 1981 seek to steal a few minutes and end up getting a lesson. Yesterday, the quartet paid tribute with a photo on its official Facebook entitled “Our hero” and then the message: “One of the main reasons why this band exists”

. Kilmister was also the kind of guy who is paying for all his friends, but even more so if the inconvenience involved could a society that considered retrograde. In 1994, he starred in the low budget film John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut, who led the porn star Ron Jeremy, about the history of the man who slit his Lorena Bobbitt member. While the cameras were not for him, the musician portrayed a beggar who is accidentally piece Bobbitt threw out the window of his car.

However, they were not few appearances film, although almost all low-budget acted as priest in The Curse of El Charro, as president in Return to Nuke ‘Em High, and was editing a project in 2016 entitled Gutterdammerung, which shares scene with Iggy Pop, Grace Jones, Tom Araya, the Eagles of Death Metal and Henry Rollins.

And the most remarkable in his role as rock star, who was best known play, in the metal film fans Airheads, in which Steve Buscemi explained to the world that “Lemmy is God.”

Mikkey Dee and the lead means that there will be more music or presentations Motörhead in the future, because without Kilmister would be impossible, “Motörhead’s over, of course. Lemmy was Motorhead, but the band will live in the memory of many people (…). There will be no more touring and more records. But the brand survives and Lemmy lives in everyone’s heart, “he said in an interview with the Swedish newspaper Expressen ‘

Le survive their metal anthems: Ace of Spades and Overkill, among others.
