My dissertation contains two essays on the effect of "superstar" directors, defined as the members of board of directors who have won prestigious national awards. For this project, I hand-collect the data about awardee directors from Financial Times, Forum for Corporate Directors, and the National Association of Corporate Directors from 1996 to 2016. With this sample, I conduct a series of studies of the effect of the award-winner directors on corporate governance, including the effectiveness of top management monitoring and strategic advising. In order to disentangle the effects of observable firm and director characteristics, I adopt a propensity-score matching procedure for all the tests. Additionally, a series of placebo tests are conducted to validate the results. In chapter two, the focus is on directors' monitoring responsibility, and the aspects that are investigated include CEO compensation level, pay-performance sensitivity, risk-taking incentives, and turnover-performance sensitivity. I find that in the firms with awardee directors, CEOs receive both a higher level and a percentage of incentive pay. They also exhibit higher risk-taking incentives. No significant association is discovered between CEO forced turnover and award-winner directors. Chapter three focuses on the effect of awardee directors on their strategic advising effectiveness with the investigation of firm value and performance, acquisition abnormal returns, and corporate innovation. Evidence exists that awardee directors are positively associated with firm valuation and performance, measured with gross margin, ln (Tobin's Q), sales growth, and ROA. Moreover, I discover a positive relationship between awardee directors and acquisition performance. Firms with awardees also invest more in research and development. In addition, a negative association exists between awardee directors and firm patent number and citations.

This major artistic biography of Federico Fellini shows how his exuberant imagination has been shaped by popular culture, literature, and his encounter with the ideas of C. G. Jung, especially Jungian dream interpretation. Covering Fellini's entire career, the book links his mature accomplishments to his first employment as a cartoonist, gagman, and sketch-artist during the Fascist era and his development as a leading neo-realist scriptwriter. Peter Bondanella thoroughly explores key Fellinian themes to reveal the director's growth not only as an artistic master of the visual image but also as an astute interpreter of culture and politics. Throughout the book Bondanella draws on a new archive of several dozen manuscripts, obtained from Fellini and his scriptwriters. These previously unexamined documents allow a comprehensive treatment of Fellini's important part in the rise of Italian neorealism and the even more decisive role that he played in the evolution of Italian cinema beyond neorealism in the 1950s. By probing Fellini's recurring themes, Bondanella reinterprets the visual qualities of the director's body of work--and also discloses in the films a critical and intellectual vitality often hidden by Fellini's reputation as a storyteller and entertainer. After two chapters on Fellini's precinematic career, the book covers all the films to date in analytical chapters arranged by topic: Fellini and his growth beyond his neorealist apprenticeship, dreams and metacinema, literature and cinema, Fellini and politics, Fellini and the image of women, and La voce della luna and the cinema of poetry.

We live in a neoliberal regime that works to dismantle social institutions and eradicate forms of collective gathering. Over and against this state of affairs, Collectivity in Struggle revisits a crucial moment in recent history when the formation of collectivity sat at the heart of a radical emancipatory struggle and called for a creative endeavor, both artistic and political. The book examines two projects developed in the 1970s vis-à-vis the Palestinian revolt: Jean-Luc Godard's cinematic engagement with the Palestinian forces and Jean Genet's textual enterprise alongside them. Through an inverse reading that uncovers from the seemingly discrete and finalized artworks - Godard's film or Genet’s book - the process of their becoming, Shaul Setter explores the ways in which these projects portray and conceptualize the revolutionary stage of the Palestinian revolt, its abrupt end, and two different modes of prolonging it. Concentrating on their formal experimentation, their potentiality for collective enunciation, their conflicted positioning on the threshold of colonial European culture and the hidden Semitic languages inscribed in them - Setter claims that these two projects insist on the writerly aspects of revolutionary political action.

The New Chinese Documentary Film Movement is a groundbreaking project unveiling recent documentary film work that has transformed visual culture in China, and brought new immediacy along with a broader base of participation to Chinese media. As a foundational text, this volume provides a much-needed introduction to the topic of Chinese documentary film, the signature mode of contemporary Chinese visual culture. These essays examine how documentary filmmakers have opened up a unique new space of social commentary and critique in an era of rapid social changes amid globalization and marketization. The essays cover topics ranging from cruelty in documentary to the representation of Beijing; gay, lesbian and queer documentary; sound in documentary; the exhibition context in China; authorial intervention and subjectivity; and the distinctive "on the spot" aesthetics of contemporary Chinese documentary. This volume will be critical reading for scholars in disciplines ranging from film and media studies to Chinese studies and Asian studies.
