Die Intendantinnen des Theaters Neumarkt blicken auf sechs Zürcher Jahre zurück. Und: Merchandise-Artikel spielen nicht nur in der Musik, sondern auch in der Literatur eine immer wichtigere Rolle. Das Zürcher Theater Neumarkt ist das experimentelle Haus zwischen der Institution Schauspielhaus und der freien Szene. Im Sommer endet hier die sechsjährige Intendanz der Kodirektorinnen Hayat Erdoğan, Tine Milz und Julia Reichert. Im Gespräch mit Andreas Klaeui blicken sie zurück auf prägende Theatererlebnisse, das Ankommen in der Stadt und die Möglichkeit von Moral auf der Bühne: Geschichten erzählen mit Ernst, aber ohne den Humorstecker zu ziehen. In der Musik sind Fan-Produkte wie Band-Shirts längst etabliert. Aber auch in der Literatur wird sogenanntes Merchandise immer beliebter: Verlage verkaufen Käppis und Badeschlappen. Mit der Buchveröffentlichung erscheinen Pullis, Socken und Sticker in den Farben des Romans und mit Zitaten bedruckt. Taschen und T-Shirts preisen mit passenden Slogans das Lesen an. Warum wird Merchandise in der Literatur immer wichtiger? Wer trägt diesen Lese-Merch und was erzählen diese Produkte über das Image von Literatur? Tim Felchlin hat in der Literaturbranche und bei Lesefans nachgefragt.

In der Podcast-Folge #68 von Klartext HR spreche ich mit Dr. Julia Reichert, Gründerin der Plattform Onuava, zum Thema „Fertiliy Benefits - der Kinderwunsch im Employer Branding“. Während in den USA und Großbritannien bereits eine Vielzahl von Arbeitgebern sogenannte Fertility Benefits anbieten, ist das Thema in Deutschland noch weitgehend unbekannt bzw. tabuisiert. Mit Dr. Julia Reichert diskutiere ich unter anderem - was genau Fertility Benefits sind - welche Rolle sie in Punkto Diversität, Familienfreundlichkeit und Employer Branding spielen können - wie der Fachkräftemangel das Thema auch in Deutschland populär machen könnte Dr. Julia Reichert ist Gründerin und Geschäftsführerin des Heidelberger Fertility Benefits Start-ups Onuava.   Onuava arbeitet mit modernen Unternehmen zusammen, die ihre Mitarbeitenden durch Fertility und Family-Building Benefits auf dem Weg zum Wunschkind unterstützen möchten. Onuava bietet eine Informations- und Beratungsplattform rund um das Thema Kinderwunsch, übernimmt aber auch die administrative Abwicklung, wenn Unternehmen für ihre Mitarbeitenden einen Teil der Behandlungskosten übernehmen.   Vor der Gründung von Onuava hat Julia viele Jahre in der Unternehmensberatung und Finanzindustrie in Frankfurt und London gearbeitet. Sie ist selbst nur Dank erfolgreicher Kinderwunschbehandlung Mutter von drei Kindern, eine Erfahrung, die sie zur Gründung von Onuava motivierte. Ein spannender Talk als 15-Minuten-Impuls.

Julia Reichert, dubbed “Documentarian of the Working Class” by The New York Times, died of cancer on December 1. 9 to 5 co-founder Karen Nussbaum interviewed Julia in 2020 after her film American Factory won an Oscar; Part 1 ran in our April 26, 2020 episode. This week, we're re-running Part 2. Reichert made documentary films for 50 years and was known as “a godmother of the American independent film movement.” Karen and Julia start out talking about the classic labor film Union Maids and the strong connection of that film – made nearly fifty years ago – to Reichert's most recent film, 9to5: The Story of a Movement, co-directed with Steven Bognar, who also co-directed American Factory. The interview ends with the wonderful back story of Julia's call at the 2020 Academy Awards for workers of the world to unite.

Julia Reichert's death from cancer on December 1 at the age of 76 made headlines across the country. Most of them called her an “Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker” and that was certainly true: she was a four-time Academy Award-nominated director, for 1977's Union Maids, Seeing Red: Stories of American Communists in 1984, The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant in 2010 and American Factory, for which she won an Oscar in 2020. But we thought Julia would have really got a kick out of The New York Times, which called her “Documentarian of the Working Class.” Back in 2020, Julia talked with 9 to 5 co-founder Karen Nussbaum about how her working-class upbringing informed her work as much as her left politics; she offered advice for chronicling the pandemic, and told what it was like to give her acceptance speech at the Academy Awards that year. The interview, originally published in The American Prospect in April 2020, ran in two parts on the Labor History Today podcast; you can hear the first part here today on Labor Goes to the Movies, and the second part will run in this Sunday's Labor History Today podcast.

Scientist Temple Grandin credits her success to how she thinks: in pictures. Her new book is “Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions.” The U.S. Supreme Court heard hours of oral arguments in a case that will decide whether state courts can review legislative maps and overturn local election laws. Raphael Warnock beat former football star Herschel Walker in the Georgia runoff election, giving Democrats a clear majority in the U.S. Senate. Academy Award winner Julia Reichert, 76, died last week after a battle with cancer. The documentarian dedicated her career to filming the working class.

This week the world lost an incredible force of good, the godmother of the modern documentary, Julia Reichert, whose groundbreaking work inspired countless filmmakers that followed — including 17-year-old Michael Moore in 1971 when he drove his parents' car to Ann Arbor to watch her first film, Growing Up Female, a subversive feminist documentary, in an auditorium on the University of Michigan campus. Years later, they would become friends, and today on Rumble, Michael pays tribute to Julia. Also, fresh off the United States Men's soccer team's loss in the 2022 World Cup, Michael shares his take on the world's game of football, and gives one final push to Rumble listeners to Get Out the Vote for Senator Ralph Warnock before the final midterm runoff election in Georgia this Tuesday.

In this touching and often flat-out-funny film, we follow "everyman" Jeb Berrier as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our plastic world.New Day was initially formed because the women's movement had arrived and a group of independent filmmakers couldn't find distribution for their feminist films. New Day sustains the ideas that inspired its formation in 1971 - collaboration, hope and social change.“We met at the 1971 Flaherty Seminar, where some of our films were programmed,” recalled founding member Amalie Rothschild. “I was in production with It Happens to Us. I'd been trying to get distribution for Woo Who? May Wilson. I'd take it to non-theatrical distribution companies and they'd say 'It's wonderful, dear, we really like it. But there's no audience...' ”Founding members Julia Reichert and Jim Klein had already started self-distributing their film, Growing Up Female. "The whole idea of distribution," explained Julia Reichert, "was to help the women's movement grow. Films could do that, they could get the ideas out. We could watch the women's movement spread across the country just by who was ordering our films. First it was Cambridge and Berkeley. I remember the first showing in the deep South."Soon, a fourth member joined the three: "When I first met them," Liane Brandon explains, "I'd been inundated with requests to show Anything You Want To Be. I'd been running back and forth to the Post Office, making myself crazy. Other distributors wanted my film, but the most they would offer was a two-year contract, as they were sure the women's movement wouldn't last any longer than that. Because I'd been active in women's groups since 1969, I knew there was a huge demand, but most distributors didn't, so they offered bad deals, or they wanted to ghettoize the films. When I first talked with Jim and Julia and Amalie, I thought 'Ah-hah! Someone else who's experiencing the same things I am.'Much has changed in media distribution since 1971 when the early members were selling 16 mm film prints! But the commitment to quality content and cutting edge distribution remains.Shown at right: left to right back row: Amalie R.

Imagine stepping up to the podium to accept your award for Best Documentary Feature for the film that you have put your heart, soul, blood sweat tears into. What would you say? Who would thank? Where would you even start? Well, Steven Bognar, of this year's American Factory knows precisely what this feels like. And he details the story of he and his partner, Julia Reichert's walk to that Oscar podium. And he details a heckuva lot more about what it means to live the life of a documentary filmmaker in Dayton, OH, far from the neon lights of New York, London, or L.A. And what it means to make meaningful documentaries that impact a lot of people and win a lot of awards. What it means to live and lead a documentary life. Topics Discussed host Chris G. Parkhurst gives some History 101 of documentaries and the Academy Awards why its beneficial to the world that documentary filmmakers make films from where they are at how American Factory came from turning down what was initially meant to be a corporate video for the Fuyao factory play-by-play of Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert's walk to the podium to accept their award for Best Documentary Feature unique sound approaches that were brought to American Factory   Additional Resources  Trailer for American Factory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m36QeKOJ2Fc   American Factory wins Best Documentary Feature https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF4ytC3-M3g   Sponsors & Thank Yous  ° http://freemusicarchive.org/ (Free Music Archive) – Special Thank You to recording artist, http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dlay/ (Dlay) who supplied music for this week's episode of TDL.

Jack Kelly, author of "The Edge of Anarchy: The Railroad Barons, the Gilded Age, and the Greatest Labor Uprising in America,” and Part 2 of our interview with Oscar-winning director Julia Reichert.I'll tell you what I was thinking about when we wrote it; I was thinking about the Wobblies. Director Julia Reichert's call at the Oscars earlier this year for “workers of the world to unite” went viral; she and Steven Bognar won for their film American Factory, and we’ve got the second part of her interview with 9 to 5 founder Karen Nussbaum.The Pullman strike was a solidarity strike. they were striking in sympathy with the Pullman workers and that idea of people pulling together I think you're seeing now.  At the peak of the Gilded Age a conflict in one of America’s largest factories exploded into the most extensive and threatening labor uprising in American history. Jack Kelly's "The Edge of Anarchy” tells the dramatic story of this historic event, transporting the reader from the fabulous White City of the 1893 World’s Fair to the nation’s industrial heartland, where unprecedented hard times are brewing rage across the continent. In the summer of 1894, more than half a million desperate railroad workers went on strike. Riots broke out in Chicago and other major cities. The nation’s commerce ground to a halt—famine threatened isolated towns. The U.S. Attorney General declared the country to be on “the ragged edge of anarchy.” Produced by Chris Garlock; to contribute a labor history item, email laborhistorytoday@gmail.comLabor History Today is produced by the Metro Washington Council’s Union City Radio and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor at Georgetown University.

E o Oscar foi para... o documentário "Indústria Americana", com direito à diretora Julia Reichert citando Marx ("trabalhadores do mundo, uni-vos") em seu discurso. Mas o que está por trás disso? Neste episódio discutiremos as importantes reflexões do documentário sobre o modelo asiático de precarização do trabalho. Ao mesmo tempo, refletiremos como essa precarização não é exclusividade chinesa e quais as contradições de uma produção financiada pela família Obama, em meio a uma guerra comercial entre EUA e China.

The latest winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar's American Factory is a complex and brilliant examination of a clash of cultures and management styles and the diminishment of a class of workers having to grovel for jobs they cannot do without. In 2014, the recently closed GM factory in Moraine, Ohio, was acquired and reopened by Fuyao Glass, a Chinese company; many of the former GM employees, often out of regular work since the closure in 2008, would occupy new jobs there. While the film depicts clashes between the Moraine locals and the Chinese employees flown in to supervise them, it also ensures that it doesn't accept any indulgence in xenophobia, instead showing employees of both nationalities spending leisure time together and getting along. The film is less interested in moderating the clash between the Chinese and American supervisors - a trip to a Chinese plant, intended to show the Americans how things should be done, with robotic employees, militaristic roll calls and company songs, long hours, hardly any days off, non-existent safety standards and a focus on quantity of production over quality, is met with raised eyebrows by all but one conspicuously enthusiastic visitor. That those unconvinced bosses are eventually replaced by more Chinese overseers is no surprise - nor is it a surprise that a bubbling movement to unionise the Moraine workers is suppressed by an appeasing extra couple of dollars of pay - that still keeps salaries at half of what they'd been at GM - and an expensive propaganda campaign that successfully scares most of the employees into voting against unionisation. There's a vast amount going on in this concise and potent film, and Reichert and Bognar work magic to marshal a sprawling web of people, plots and themes, and to allow the workers to narrate their own story smoothly and with little outside help (just a few lines of superimposed text here and there). It's available on Netflix, and you should not miss out on it. Recorded on 13th February 2020.

Fresh off winning their first Oscar, professor emeritus Julia Reichert and former motion pictures faculty member Steven Bognar returned to Wright State University to celebrate with students and faculty during a special gathering at the Tom Hanks Center for Motion Pictures Feb 13. Reichert and Bognar visited Wright State four days after winning the Oscar for best documentary feature for “American Factory” at the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony. The film, which Reichert and Bognar directed and produced, focuses on the opening of the Fuyao Glass America plant at the site of a former General Motors truck plant in Moraine. The documentary captures the complicated relationship between Fuyao, the Chinese glass manufacturer that owns the new plant, and its American employees, some of whom worked at the GM truck plant before it closed in 2008, putting more than 1,000 workers out of jobs. “American Factory” was developed when Bognar served as a faculty member in Wright State’s Department of Theatre, Dance and Motion Pictures. Fourteen Wright State motion pictures alumni worked on the film. With their Oscars in hand, Reichert and Bognar discussed a variety of topics with about 100 students and faculty from the Department of Theatre, Dance and Motion Pictures.

Happy Thanksgiving, Doccalo! Bob and Jonni hit up the Thanksgiving week documentary this year. Thanksgiving is a holiday they both enjoy and the happiest Bob is until the new year. It’s not a pure Thanksgiving documentary, but it is featured nicely within. An all American documentary about a once gutted factory in Dayton, Ohio that is being filled by a Chinese company called “Fuyao”. It’s giving some hope to the citizens of this economically troubled town. Hope that is dashed very quickly into the reality of mundane wage mediocrity. Turns out North American Labor activism and Chinese “Communism” is not quite the same thing. No matter what corporate news media tells you. Bob and Jonni watched Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert’s Netflix documentary “American Factory”. The Thanksgiving that is featured in this documentary features motorcycles and guns being held giddily by Chinese laborers. A normal Thanksgiving from the context of Bob’s childhood. We hope you have a pleasant Turkey Day. Pass the gravy and Keep on Doccin’ https://documenteerspodcast.com The Trailer: https://youtu.be/m36QeKOJ2Fc Guess it’s easier to defend labor rights when you’re not president anymore: https://youtu.be/NRS0YDUf-Yc Dayton, Ohio Lo-Fi Native Drunks: https://youtu.be/hWG1h8kJBvE Oh, Shit.

For this second episode of our current season we try something new with a look back at an important film from the past, Barbara Kopple’s 1976 Harlan County U.S.A., which won the 1977 Best Documentary Oscar. Why this trip down docu-memory lane? Two reasons: 1) our guest host this week is actually a guest historian, Betsy McLane, who not only knows just about everything there is to know about documentary history, but also knows quite a lot about Kopple; and 2) the coal miners of Harlan County, Kentucky, are once again on strike, gaining national and international attention over the summer. Plus ça change … And while we’re on the topic of great films about unions, we thought we’d also play a recent interview Chris did with directors Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert of American Factory, just recently released on Netflix, which tells the story of what happens when a Chinese glass company takes over an abandoned GM plant. It starts out so well, but then, well … you’ll just have to listen to our podcast and then watch the movie. Enjoy! Group Review Documentary: HARLAN COUNTY U.S.A.

When General Motors shuttered its factory outside of Dayton, Ohio, in 2008, filmmakers Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar — who documented the plant’s closing in their Oscar-nominated short “The Last Truck” — thought that was the end of yet another sad story of America’s industrial decline. But as it turned out, life had other plans. In 2014, the billionaire owner of the Chinese auto-glass manufacturing firm Fuyao decided to invest in the abandoned GM plant, hiring more than 1,000 American workers to work alongside and be trained by hundreds of Chinese workers. No one was quite sure how this experiment in cross-cultural capitalism would work out — and, as it turned out, there would be some pretty major bumps along the way, as frustrations on both sides threatened to boil over. But whatever happened, Reichert and Bognar — a self-described “long-term couple” who have lived in Dayton for decades and have focused throughout their careers on the lives of working-class men and women — knew they wanted to be there to chronicle it. Culled from 1,200 hours of footage, the resulting film, “American Factory,” went on to win the U.S. documentary directing award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and drew the attention of a pair of newcomers to the film world: Barack and Michelle Obama.

The redemptive power of oral history is at the heart of Susan Straight's new memoir, In The Country Of Women; and also in this installment of the LARB Radio Hour, the first in a special series featuring Los Angeles authors. As Susan relates the amazing stories of the women in her family from across many generations to host Kate Wolf, the spirit and character of these women is conjured back to life. Our troubled times are presaged in the tragedies and violence encountered by Susan's ancestors; but the promise, not yet extinguished, of this blood-stained land shines through from these women of the past to their sisters in the present. Also, filmmakers Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar, whose latest film is American Factory, return to recommend four books: Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston; The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead; The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson; and The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander.

On this week’s podcast, Kaiser and Jeremy speak with Andy Rothman, an investment strategist at Matthews Asia, to get his take on recent developments in the U.S.-China trade war. Andy lived in China for over 20 years, and was previously the chief China strategist for the brokerage and investment group CLSA after a long career in the U.S. Foreign Service. What to listen for on this week’s Sinica Podcast:14:09: Andy comments on the protracted detentions of Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig: “They need to treat the two Canadians as they would like Chinese to be treated in Canada and the United States. That’s not happening and it’s sending the wrong message, and it’s further politicizing what should be a technical issue. So, I’m hoping we’re going to see some progress on this, but certainly I don’t see any signs in that direction at the moment.” He also says a voice of reason could come from an unlikely place: “I would also like to see Huawei, as a company, speak out against this kind of retaliation.” In addition, he notes that he has mentioned this to individuals at the company, but “they did not have any response.”36:54: Andy chimes in on the issue of engagement versus decoupling: “I think the engagement option for dealing with China versus decoupling and containment gets a bad rap. I think it’s really important for us to look back over the last 40 years of engagement and recognize that it has worked pretty well. Both for Americans and Chinese citizens, and that should be important for us, too.” He continues, diving into the numbers: “On the trade side, we’ve gotten fantastic access. China was an irrelevant player on the global economy up until 20 years ago. Now it’s our number one trading partner. Since China joined the WTO, U.S. exports are up to China about 500 percent, whereas they’re only up about 100 percent to the rest of the world. Prior to the tariff dispute, agricultural exports to China were up over 1,000 percent, and it was our biggest market.” Recommendations:Jeremy: The Secrets of the Hopewell Box: Stolen Elections, Southern Politics, and a City's Coming of Age, by James D.

A few decades and a whole industry removed from Barbara Kopple’s HARLAN COUNTY, USA, Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert’s AMERICAN FACTORY is an entertaining yet dispiriting illustration of how much working conditions, labor relations, and blue-collar work have changed — and, in some ways, haven’t. After wrestling with AMERICAN FACTORY’s sometimes-funny, sometimes-demoralizing portrayal of the current state of American industry, unions, and national identity, we dive what unites and separates these films’ approach to depicting the struggles and setbacks of the working American.

LARB's Medaya Ocher talks with Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert about their new film which documents the recent history of an American factory in Dayton, OH that was closed last decade and re-opened this decade under Chinese ownership and management. The tale is rife with paradoxes: the communists are the capitalists; and the workers from the land of Reagan and Trump channel socialist solidarity as they move to form a union against the wishes of the folks from the People's Republic. The conversation fills in the backstory; and, along the way, reveals what makes this highly political documentary so compelling - the filmmakers' drive to capture the humanity of all the players in the drama. Also, author Anthony McCann returns to recommend No One Knows My History, Fawn Brodie's beautifully written biography of Joseph Smith, the founding prophet of the Mormon religion.

This week on The Deep Cut, John Rocha welcomes Academy Award nominated and Emmy Award winning directors Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert to discuss their latest documentary ‘American Factory’. A Netflix Original Documentary presented by Higher Ground Productions and Participant Media. The acclaimed film takes a deep dive into a post-industrial Ohio, where a Chinese billionaire opens a new factory in the husk of an abandoned General Motors plant and hires two thousand blue-collar Americans still recovering from the effects of the 2008 recession. Steven and Julia discuss the story behind making this documentary, how they found themselves on the project, and the nearly unlimited access they had to both the American workers and executives and the Chinese workers and executives. They also discuss what their thoughts are on the state of the American factory worker and the state of the working class in general after shooting this documentary.For more on the movie click here: https://www.participantmedia.com/film/american-factoryFollow Rocha: https://twitter.com/TheRochaSays

AMERICAN FACTORY tells the story of a Chinese billionaire opening a new factory in the husk of an abandoned General Motors plant in Dayton, Ohio, hiring 2,000 blue-collar Americans still recovering from the effects of the 2008 recession. Working side-by-side with experienced Chinese workers, the locals are optimistic about the future for the first time in almost a decade. But early days of hope give way to setbacks as high-tech China collides with working-class America, and issues of language and culture become seemingly insurmountable walls between clashing factions. AMERICAN FACTORY, the new film from Academy Award®-nominated directors Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert, documents the revitalization of one long-shuttered factory while providing a startling glimpse into a global economic realignment now playing out in towns and cities across the country — and around the world. Granted generous access to the factory, and with the in-depth participation of its employees, Bognar, Reichert and their team spent three years following Fuyao Glass America’s launch of a state-of- the-art glassmaking facility employing hundreds of Chinese and thousands of Midwestern workers in the American heartland. Capturing surprisingly candid moments of people ranging from the visionary billionaire who financed the enterprise to American and Chinese workers on the factory line, AMERICAN FACTORY presents a microcosmic view of a global phenomenon that could represent a new normal for the American working class. Co-directors Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert join us for a lively conversation on the challenges of telling a multifaceted of people desperate for a new beginning working for an employer who sees the workplace from a point of view rooted in a culture a half a world away.
