The roots of working class representation in british
This document discusses the representation of the working class in British popular film and television from the 1960s onward. It notes that films from this era, like Room at the Top and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, drew on existing tropes and stereotypes of northern working class life involving cobbled streets, terraced houses near factories. While the working class was previously marginalized, these "angry young man" films provided more realistic depictions that challenged norms. However, female and working class characters were often depicted negatively or stereotypically. Television shows like Coronation Street also drew from these film conventions but provided a more sympathetic portrayal of working class life.

However, it also discusses how more popular films and television shows have portrayed the working class through stereotypical tropes and icons for mass market appeal. More recently, some critics argue that some reality television programs exploit and demonize the working class for entertainment purposes, though audience research also shows people interpret media in varied, complex ways.

Reimagining the Audio Tour for Levinthal’s War, Myth, Desire
Kate Meyers Emery, George Eastman Museum, USA
The works featured in David Levinthal’s War, Myth, Desire gave us a unique challenge when designing the engagement around it: the photographs feature toys, but they are put into adult scenarios. Topics of his works include using green army men to depict World War II, figurines in various states of bondage, and a series called Bad Barbie, where barbie dolls, well… go bad. In order to be open about the nature of his works, and inspire our guests to talk about them, we decided to forgo the normal audio tour and create a podcast.
Podcasts are a forms of digital audio that often prioritizes discussion and dialogue over one-way lectures. Instead of having someone tell you how you’re supposed to feel or what you’re supposed to be seeing, we imagined a podcast that would be a discussion between the hosts, the artist, and a variety of experts who could offer different opinions on the work. The hope was that the guests would feel that they too could have varying opinions, and experts could place Levinthal’s work into the broader historical and cultural context.
Though it took much longer to produce and coordinate than an average audio tour, the results have been worth it. The 30-minute podcast features a diverse group of voices that offer opinions on topics from the history of toys to black memorabilia to the Wild West. We found an increase in visitor engagement with the audio, that it improved interaction within the exhibition, and that we were able to use clips and quotes from the audio in a variety of ways to improve the exhibition both on site and online.

Fanfiction vs the Status Quo
Fanfiction has existed as long as storytelling in various forms throughout history. In the 1960s, science fiction fans published fanzines, which were magazines copied by hand or with a mimeograph that circulated fanfiction among hundreds of readers. Now in the digital age, fanfiction reaches wide audiences through websites but is considered derivative works under US copyright law. However, some authors argue the distinction between fanfiction and other fictional works that expand on existing characters and worlds is often just a matter of commercial success and respectability rather than creative differences.

Gn brief history
Graphic novels have a long history that began outside of the United States in Japan and Europe. While comics gained popularity in the US in the 1930s-1940s, they received backlash in the 1950s when a psychologist claimed they caused juvenile delinquency. This led to Senate hearings and stricter comic regulations. The genre declined until the 1970s-1980s when graphic novels for adults emerged, gaining critical acclaim. Milestone works like Maus brought new readers and established graphic novels as a serious literary art form. Today, graphic novels are a mainstream part of publishing and popular culture.
