Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Virginia, 1997.

The dissertation examines three cycles of corporate organization in the American film industry: the studio system of the 1915-1960 when Hollywood dominated markets with a combination of mass production and vertical integration; the period of dispersed production and centralized distribution which, between 1960 and 1990, gave rise to global multi-media companies such as Time-Warner, Sony-Columbia or Disney-ABC; and, finally, the most recent digital epoch in which Hollywood companies seem to be becoming a part of a much larger military-commercial complex thus gradually losing their distinct identities. In contrast to evolutionary theories of industrial change which seem less inclined to examine more subtle shifts in power within the economy, and more prone to focus on successes and failures of particular industrial or organizational models, the dissertation argues that contemporary process of industrial change in the American film industry represents a historical process of resurgence and consolidation of merchant power in the American and global economies. Using Hollywood as a paradigm, the dissertation portrays industrial change as a complex, continuous and contentious process of intra-industrial strife between producers and merchants, closely related to the transformations of everyday life as well as to the intersubjective production of identities, knowledge and meanings.
