With cases studies used throughout to help illustrate the more general points, this is an analysis of the most important characteristics of television dialogue, with a focus on fictional television. ...The book illustrates how we can fruitfully and systematically analyse the language of television.
This paper examines the intersection of fiction studies and urban studies through the prism of salient points identified in a systematic literature review of French-language research on the subject. ...The dynamics of exchanges between disciplines are thus explored, taking into account the delicate balance between content and form of series when analyzing representations of territories. The attribution of the quality of “character” to these landscapes, often cities, is questioned in favor of the notion of “arena”, which perhaps better reflects the configuring dimension of spaces upon the progression of the narrative. The article concludes by mentioning the opportunities offered by spatial approaches to serial narration; from a situated, partial point of view, it intends to contribute to the debate on the analysis of space in television series.
This book examines major Russian TV series focusing on three major issues: Russian television's transition to digital post-broadcast visual economy, Russian television's integration into global ...television markets and their genre systems, and major shifts in representation of gender and sexuality on television.
Audiences for contemporary German film and television are
becoming increasingly transnational, and depictions of German
cultural history are moving beyond the typical post-war focus on
Germany's ...problematic past. Entertaining German Culture
explores this radical shift, building on recent research into
transnational culture to argue that a new process of internal and
external cultural reabsorption is taking place through areas of
mutually assimilating cultural exchange such as streaming services,
an increasingly international film market, and the import and
export of Anglo-American media formats.
This article argues the growing interest in investigating how popular historical television series recreates and represents the past by comparing the creative and representational choices of Tom ...Fontana’s Borgia: Faith and Fear (Canal+, 2011-14) with those of Neil Jordan’s The Borgias (Showtime, 2011-13). The comparison aims to show how these historical television series have boosted the public’s interest in the branding of Italy, the Italian Renaissance and, at the same time, managed to create a unique sense of historical engagement. I call this phenomenon ‘historicity,’ that is, something that ‘might have happened’ given the violent milieu of the times. Even though the creators and writers alter and adapt certain facts, they successfully manage to make the viewers ‘travel through time’ and emotionally engage them with the past, allowing them to meet—virtually, of course— the characters and experience events that shaped Italian and European history from 1492-1503. I intend to show how Fontana’s Borgia, in particular, succeeds in de-mythologizing the Renaissance by shattering the mythical depiction of a golden age and focusing, instead, on the prevailing unbridled violence of the times. Fontana’s narrative does not shy away from displaying the most atrocious tortures, disfigurements, feminicides and male rapes. Although some of these scenes are certainly alienating and shocking, and may leave the audience uncomfortable and even appalled, they succeed in reawakening historical consciousness through affective engagement, narrative transportation, and the proximity effect.
