History Of

There is a long history of television and film research that highlights the essential roles audiences play in everyday production decisions. Based largely on Western media industries, these studies’ investigations of producer–audience relationships have revolved predominantly around the market concerns of liberal media models. So how do producer–audience relationships work when it comes to illiberal contexts of media production? Using Singapore as a case study, this article argues that existing approaches to producer–audience relations largely based on liberal media industries like Hollywood are insufficient for thinking through audience power in everyday media production in illiberal contexts. Drawing on insights from affect theory, I examine the materials gathered during an immersive ethnography of the writing process of a Singaporean television drama and propose conceptualizing audiences as an ‘affective superaddressee’, as a productive way to think about the work that situational audiences do in everyday media production in illiberal contexts.

Challenging Behaviours

Behaviour change is often a desired outcome for carers and professionals who work with people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviours. Managing these behaviours in the short term is an important step towards this goal. This single case study presents the use of a low arousal approach in managing challenging behaviours in a young man labelled with severe challenging behaviour. This strategy focuses on the interaction of the carers with the client and how their approach has an important impact on the behaviour of the client. The study documents the incidents of challenging behaviour and shows a decline in their frequency from baseline over a one-year period. These gains were maintained at five-month follow-up. The implications for services of these findings are discussed.
