"I’ve Seen this Movie a Thousand Times: Risk and the Hollywood Film Business" A presentation by James McMahon, November 13, 2013
ABSTRACT: Why does Hollywood lack originality? Why is Hollywood cinema so repetitive? This presentation will theoretically and empirically explain why Hollywood's so-called risk-aversion is strategic. The decline in risk is a sign of how the major distributors have been able to exercise greater and greater control over the social relations of cinema. [This presentation was the third in a four-part Speaker Series on the Capitalist Mode of Power, held in 2013.)
