- Title
Anthropology's Prophecy for #MeTooFrom Hollywood to Hong Kong.
- Authors
Martin, Sylvia J.
- Abstract
More than fifty years before the #MeToo movement, anthropologist Hortense Powdermaker provided ethnographic insights into patterns of masculine aggression and gender disparities in positions of power in Hollywood. Contextualizing contemporary #MeToo news reports with Powdermaker's study and my own ethnographic research in the Hollywood and Hong Kong film industries, I examine what I call the globalization of Hollywood patriarchy through the East Asian business operations of US film producer–distributor Harvey Weinstein. Connecting anthropologist Sherry Ortner's conceptualization of US neoliberal patriarchy with Powdermaker's insights offers a unique perspective on contemporary and racialized expressions of power in global mass media industries.
