![]() This might be done using a "catchy" slogan or sound bite that can help to persuade the public of the company's biased point of view. ![]() ![]() For example, a company whose top-selling product is found to have a significant safety problem may "reframe" the issue by criticizing the safety of its main competitor's products or by highlighting the risk associated with the entire product category. Public relations advisors, pollsters and media consultants who develop deceptive or misleading messages may be referred to as " spin doctors" or " spinmeisters".Ī standard tactic used in "spinning" is to reframe or modify the perception of an issue or event to reduce any negative impact it might have on public opinion. īecause of the frequent association between spin and press conferences (especially government press conferences), the room in which these conferences take place is sometimes described as a " spin room". While traditional public relations and advertising may manage their presentation of facts, "spin" often implies the use of disingenuous, deceptive, and manipulative tactics.

![]() Oedipus' brother-in-law and new Theban ruler Creon ordered the public honor of Eteocles and the public shame of Thebes' traitor Polynices. The play is named after the main protagonist Antigone.Īfter Oedipus' self-exile his sons Eteocles and Polynices engaged in a civil war for the Theban throne, which resulted in both brothers dying fighting each other. ![]() The story expands on the Theban legend that predates it, and it picks up where Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes ends. Even though the events in Antigone occur last in the order of events depicted in the plays, Sophocles wrote Antigone first. The play is one of a triad of tragedies known as the three Theban plays, following Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus. It is thought to be the second oldest surviving play of Sophocles, preceded by Ajax, which was written around the same period. Antigone in front of the dead Polynices by Nikiforos Lytras 1865Īntigone ( / æ n ˈ t ɪ ɡ ə n i/ ann- TIG-ə-nee Ancient Greek: Ἀντιγόνη) is an Athenian tragedy written by Sophocles in (or before) 441 BC and first performed at the Festival of Dionysus of the same year. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though we were pleased that Lewis was taking an interest in our field, we admit to being skeptical when we heard about his book plan. He kindly even gave us credit for setting him down this path. Lewis read the review, began to take an interest in the whole topic of human rationality, and, improbably, decided to write a book about Kahneman and Tversky. Why isn’t the market for baseball players “efficient”? What is the source of the biases that Beane was able to exploit? Some of the answers to these questions, we suggested, might be found by applying the insights of the Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, on whose work behavioral economics greatly relies. ![]() We loved the book-and pointed out that, unbeknownst to the author, it was really about behavioral economics, the combination of economics and psychology in which we shared a common interest, and which we had explored together with respect to public policy and law. Beane was a failed Major League Baseball player who went into the personnel side of the business and, by applying superior “metrics,” had remarkable success with a financial underdog. The book, we noted, had become a sensation, despite focussing on what would seem to be the least exciting aspect of professional sports: upper management. In 2003, we reviewed “Moneyball,” Michael Lewis’s book about Billy Beane and the Oakland A’s. ![]() ![]() ![]() It has to be absolutely solid so we can build a great film from it. The script is like the foundation of your building. ![]() (Just like writing a book!) Once everybody is happy with it, then we will start talking next steps, but I imagine (just a guess) we have a few more months ahead of us before we get to that point. The script will probably go through a few more revisions. If you’ve been following along so far, you can guess what comes next. Our wonderful screenwriter has done a second pass, and now we are working with our production team and the writer to get it into prime shape so we can send it to our partners at the studio. The Red Pyramid feature film project at Netflix is still in the script revision phase, but we are making good progress. Nevertheless, here are some updates I can give you: ![]() ![]() (I have to say, being off social media the past eight months has been excellent for my productivity as well as my mental health!) There are several things in progress that I can’t talk about yet because they are not official, and of course, I totally understand that you want more news than I can share. I have been busy behind the scenes juggling a number of exciting projects. Happy March, everyone! I hope this month is peaceful for you, even if it is named for Mars, the god of war. ![]() ![]() That usually involves some really gruesome, highly detailed violence involving Indians doing horrible things to white people or to one another. But even then, there really is no plot to speak of. And that's fine as those parts are somewhat interesting, but I can't help wonder why the story is told from the POV of white people. ![]() This provides a vehicle for discussing Indian cultures. The story involves (so far I'm 6 hours into it) several white people kidnapped by Indians. *The plot: So far, there doesn't appear to be one. ![]() ![]() Because of her overblown, over-pronounced over-acting, I just can't get the rhythm of the narration. I have been listening for six hours and would expect to be able to easily "hear" the various voices by now. ![]() And they emote! I am also finding her range not up to the task (so sort of wish she'd stop trying.) She has mean, hoarse-voiced man child adult woman and craggy old-person. Cons: * The narration: It's way "over the top." No one speaks "normally." Why do some narrators feel that they can't just let the characters speak like humans when they are in human situations? They must ee-nun-seee-ayt like no actual human being ever does. ![]() ![]() ![]() But then she meets Étienne, her target in uncovering a potential assassination plot.
