Once a week, it reports and comments critically on corporate actions, plans, abuses and trends. Written with a sharp edge and occasional irreverency, Focus on the Corporation covers: * The double standards which excuse corporations for behavior (e.g., causing injury, accepting welfare) widely considered criminal or shameful when done by individuals; * Globalization and corporate power; * Trends in corporate economic blackmail, political influence and workplace organization; * Industry-wide efforts to escape regulation, silence critics, employ new technologies or consolidate business among a few companies; * Specific, extreme examples of corporate abuses: destruction of communities, trampling of democracy, poisoning of air and water; * Issues, such as tort reform, of across-the-board interest to business; and * The corporatization of our culture. ..........................3............................

The cinema provides us with an understanding of our own memory. Indeed we could almost say that cinema is a model of consciousness itself. Going to the cinema turns out to be a philosophical experience. Henri Bergson Film-Philosophy is an email discussion forum and website founded in November 1996. SALON DISCUSSION The purpose of the salon is the informal discussion of film philosophies. The aim of which is the creation of a discipline from a collision, from a debilitating identity crisis. Why do we need film philosophies? What can a philosophical viewpoint breath into well-worn debates in film theory? What bred the recent surge of interest in this area? What is film philosophy?
