"Auf dem brasilianischen Fernsehmarkt halten die großen privaten Sender ihre 100 Millionen Zuschauer alltäglich überwiegend mit Eigenproduktionen bei Laune. In dieser zum eist eher quantitativ als qualitativ imponierenden Bilderproduktion führt der brasilianische Kinofilm ein Nischendasein, das

mittlerweile weder vom einheimischen Publikum noch von der internationalen Kritik nennenswert wahrgenommen wird. Auf den ersten Blick und vor allem aus einer europäischen Perspektive ist das um so erstaunlicher, als der brasilianische Film in seiner großen Aufbruchphase des Cinema Novo in den 60er Jahren international preisverwöhnt und Gegenstand euphorischer Besprechungen in den Feuilletons war."

"The fact that the number of titles from only six years [3.199] almost equals that of the considerably longer reporting period of the basic work [covering the period between 1960 and 1987, published in 1988] demonstrates the proliferation of publications in this field as well. It is an advantage tha

t most of the titles are now briefly annotated and that the typographical design is now much more pleasing. As in the basic work, the catalogue is divided into monographs (132) and articles (3,067); among the latter, the very short (newspaper) articles predominate by far, just as the journals and newspapers analysed are very difficult to access.[1] It is worth mentioning that the proportion of French-language publications far exceeds that of English-language publications (not to mention the relatively few in other languages). As far as the information content of many contributions is concerned, even the bibliographer[2] expresses lasting doubts. Index: 1. co-authors; 2. film actors; 3. film festivals; 4. film titles; 5. directors; 6. other persons involved in the production; 6. African countries; 7. selected keywords."

"With Britain's first two national commercial radio stations - Virgin 1215 and Classic FM - already on the air, the 90s are set to bring unprecedented expansion to the national, regional and local radio station network - and yet more controversy over the role of the BBC. In this new edition of Under

standing Radio, Andrew Crisell re-addresses the characteristics of this fascinating and paradoxical medium. He explores how radio processes such genres as news, drama and comedy in highly distinctive ways, and how the listener's use of the medium has important implications for audience studies. In addition, Andrew Crisell's revised historical account of radio brings the reader right up to date, and includes a brand new chapter on talk-and-music radio - the format adopted by so many of the new stations - in which he explains why the sound medium, even more than television, has played such a crucial role in the development of modern popular culture. This new edition of Understanding Radio will be essential reading both to students of the media, and to those with a practical involvement in programme production." (Publisher description)
