Greetings all,
I am in the planning stages of work on the entrepreneurial subtext of late 20th early 21st teenage and young adult fantasy television shows. I am concentrating on those shows that are centred around one individual or a group of individuals. For example Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Angel, and Deep Space 9 are among my leading contenders. Within these shows the main protagonists all display elements of the entrepreneurial orientation. However I doubt that entrepreneurship was high on the writers agenda when they wrote the scripts or the directors minds when they shot the scenes. Regardless entrepreneurial activity is evident, especially within the shows mentioned above. There are two avenues in particular here that I wish to develop; one is to simply chart the instances of entrepreneurial activity and relate that to societal trends in entrepreneurial attitude, the other is to ascertain if these shows and shows like them have had an influence upon the audience in regard to perceiving entrepreneurial activity as beneficial.
That said is there anyone who is currently doing work in this area, and is there anyone who may be interested in developing these ideas further.
Anyway people
Enjoy
Kind Regards
