This coda briefly describes the end of Schlanger’s life and the loss of his personal archives. It then points to later examples of neutralization’s impact in screen technologies such as IMAX of the early 1980s. Finally, it argues that neutralization helped shape not only the movie theater at mid-century, but an entire dimension of twenty-first-century spectatorship that insists on a disappearing space to privilege a screen. The coda gestures toward the abiding relevance of Schlanger’s theatrical ideals and the aporia of the optical vacuum they present: at once an every space, everywhere, and a no space, nowhere. To make a house for this still confusing and new thing of the cinema meant also imagining its eventual demise.Less

The Conclusion posits that the types of pro-inequality business practices engaged by the Bulls in recent decades, as well as the government's tolerance of such practices, continue to expand and intensify in the twenty-first century. This story transcends the sports business, as evidenced by the election of Donald Trump (one of the most notorious tax evaders in recent American history) and increasingly frequent stories of gargantuan amounts of corporate welfare handed to already profitable firms like Amazon. The conclusion also catalogs a variety of potential policy solutions in the context of the sports business, ranging from more proactive antitrust enforcement to public ownership of major-league franchises. However, it warns that the best way to solve the problems of the sports business would be to effect systemic political and economic change--for example, serious campaign finance reform, as well as more progressive local and national tax policy.Less

This chapter examines the many re-iterations of Robert Flaherty’s influential film Nanook of the North (1922) to show how this key documentary film has been re-imagined and re-articulated in documentaries such as Claude Massot’s Nanook Revisited (1990), feature length fictional accounts of Flaherty’s journey north such as Massot’s Kabloonak (1994), indigenous media such as the National Film Board of Canada’s Netsilik series (1967), IMAX films like To the Arctic (2012) and experimental cinema such as Philip Hoffman and Sami van Ingen’s Sweep (1995). Through the analysis of these varied works, MacKenzie delineates how the continual re-iterations of Nanook of the North play and complex and conflicted role in the popular imagination of the Arctic.Less
