It's good to know it's /their content, scheduling, marketing,critical reception, and generic characteristics in regards to its/their overall placement and significance in the history of broadcasting. Since I have been in this country only for 2yeaars... so, this assignment is kind of hard for me to do it. any information would help me.. thank you all Sung >From: Pamela Robertson Wojcik <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Film and TV Studies Discussion List <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: cultural appropriation >Date: Tue, 2 May 2000 10:21:58 -0500 > >Re: Steve Fore's query about appopriation > >For what it's worth, I have two articles on how white camp authenticates >itself through appropriations of Aboriginal and African American culture >and >imagery.
