What's That Sound? Nature? No, It's This Guy's Voice By SAM BORDEN Gennady Tkachenko-Papizh, a journeyman performer, found widespread web renown for his televised displays of imitating sounds from nature.

Success in Hollywood came late to Robert Altman, and by the time he became a celebrity at 45, it seemed he had already settled into the role that suited him - the grand old man, cantankerous and wayward. He was compared to Fellini, as a creator of a cinematic world entirely his own, to Welles and to Stroheim. Like the latter two, he knew spectacular decline after glory, but unlike them, had ajourneyman's pragmatism that allowed him to carry on, and more than once to resurface triumphantly.

Lasse Schmackelsen, a placement officer at the company, has had good experiences with German employees.

"They are very motivated," he said. At 21 euros ($31) an hour, a journeyman earns nearly double of what he would in Germany. The higher cost of living in Norway is offset by additional contributions by the employer, like payments for accommodations and work clothes.

Why then, is there any interest in avant-garde visual art? For capitalist reasons, as he reiterates, as already implied in The Age of Extremes. Avant-garde art has increasingly become "the sort of art which was primarily bought for investment" (p. 516). His example is "minimal art," which in his description involves "adding an individual's name to piles of brick or soil" (p. 516). As he says in Behind the Times, the avant-garde "mode of production," which involves "the one-off product, ascribable to one and only one maker," regarded as a "high-status 'artist,' as distinct from the journeyman artisan or 'hack,'" "belongs typically to a society of patronage or of small groups competing in conspicuous expenditure, and indeed these are still the foundation of the really lucrative art trade" (p. 17).

　 原型五：老練工人（journeyman）

 　　有一種編劇，他的創意潛力並不高，但經驗豐富。發生問題之際，他能圓滿地處理；那是被稱為「老練工人」的族群。這個原型是顯示「概念水準低，但擅長執行並熟悉商業之道的作家」的原型，被認為創意屬中等程度。

 　　被歸類為老練編劇的投手，能在需要臨時寫出既有電視劇集或符合某種電影模式的劇本之際，發揮重大功能。在其他同業投手眼裏，這類型的編劇是這樣的人：

 　　 「老練工人在這一行形同臨時編劇，是在這個產業打滾超過二十年的人。三十多歲的年輕人不想跟他一起吃中飯，因為在一起也沒什麼樂趣。但心裏對這位編劇卻相當敬重，感謝他提供許多幫助。雖說不見得想把他擺在身邊，但當遇到困難的狀況時，把寫劇本的任務交付給他們，他們一定不會失敗。」
