TV Transformations - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

TV Transformations - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The past decade has seen an explosion of lifestyle makeover TV shows. Audiences around the world are being urged to ‘renovate’ everything from their homes to their pets and children while lifestyle experts on TV now tell us what not to eat and what not to wear. Makeover television and makeover culture is now ubiquitous and yet, compared with reality TV shows like Big Brother and Survivor, there has been relatively little critical attention paid to this format. This exciting collection of essays written by leading media scholars from the UK, US and Australia aims to reveal the reasons for the huge popularity and influence of the makeover show. Written in a lively and accessible manner, the essays brought together here will help readers ‘make sense’ of makeover TV by offering a range of different approaches to understanding the emergence of this popular cultural phenomenon. Looking at a range of shows from The Biggest Loser to Trinny and Susannah Undress, essays include an analysis of how and why makeover TV shows have migrated across such a range of TV cultures, the social significance of the rise of home renovation shows, the different ways in which British versus American audiences identify with makeover shows, and the growing role of lifestyle TV in the context of neo-liberalism in educating us to be ‘good’ citizens. This book was published as a special issue of Continuum: Journal of Media and Cultural Studies .

EU og TV 2 - Frands Mortensen - Bog - Aarhus Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

EU og TV 2 - Frands Mortensen - Bog - Aarhus Universitetsforlag - Plusbog.dk

Medieforsker Frands Mortensens doktorafhandling følger to spor. I det ene har vi udviklingen af TV 2 frem til tv-kanalens start i 1988 og senere, hvor skiftende danske regeringer mente, at medier og kulturpolitik var et nationalt anliggende. I det andet spor har vi EF/EU's udvikling på medieområdet frem til EU-Domstolens svingende syn på public service som enten utilladelig statsstøtte eller godkendt kompensation. Trådene samledes under Fogh-regeringens forgæves forsøg på at privatisere TV 2 i 2004. Den danske mediepolitik var for alvor blevet europæiseret. Afhandlingen er sat i en mediesystemisk ramme, hvor jura, økonomi, politisk og teknologisk historie danner analytiske lag, som tilsammen giver værket en usædvanlig dybde. Frands Mortensen har med EU og TV 2 givet sit bud på, hvad faget medievidenskab handler om.

Social TV - Cory Barker - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Social TV - Cory Barker - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

On March 15, 2011, Donald Trump changed television forever. The Comedy Central Roast of Trump was the first major live broadcast to place a hashtag in the corner of the screen to encourage real-time reactions on Twitter, generating more than 25,000 tweets and making the broadcast the most-watched Roast in Comedy Central history. The #trumproast initiative personified the media and tech industries'' utopian vision for a multiscreen and communal live TV experience. In Social TV: Multiscreen Content and Ephemeral Culture , author Cory Barker reveals how the US television industry promised--but failed to deliver--a social media revolution in the 2010s to combat the imminent threat of on-demand streaming video. Barker examines the rise and fall of Social TV across press coverage, corporate documents, and an array of digital ephemera. He demonstrates that, despite the talk of disruption, the movement merely aimed to exploit social media to reinforce the value of live TV in the modern attention economy. Case studies from broadcast networks to tech start-ups uncover a persistent focus on community that aimed to monetize consumer behavior in a transitionary industry period. To trace these unfulfilled promises and flopped ideas, Barker draws upon a unique mix of personal Social TV experiences and curated archives of material that were intentionally marginalized amid pivots to the next big thing. Yet in placing this now-forgotten material in recent historical context, Social TV shows how the era altered how the industry pursues audiences. Multiscreen campaigns have shifted away from a focus on live TV and toward all-day "content" streams. The legacy of Social TV, then, is the further embedding of media and promotional material onto every screen and into every moment of life.

Translation Studies on Chinese Films and TV Shows - - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

Cinematic TV - Rashna Wadia Richards - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Cinematic TV - Rashna Wadia Richards - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

For decades after its invention, television was considered by many to be culturally deficient when compared to cinema, as analyses rooted in communication studies and the social sciences tended to focus primarily on television''s negative impact on consumers. More recently, however, denigration has largely been replaced by serious critical consideration of what television represents in the post-network era. Once derided as a media wasteland, TV is now praised for its visual density and complexity. In the last two decades, media scholars have often suggested that television has become cinematic. Serial dramas, in particular, are acclaimed for their imitations of cinema''s formally innovative and narratively challenging conventions. But what exactly does "cinematic TV" mean? In Cinematic TV, author Rashna Wadia Richards takes up this question comprehensively, arguing that TV dramas quote, copy, and appropriate (primarily) American cinema in multiple ways and toward multiple ends. Constructing an innovative theoretical framework by combining intertextuality and memory studies, Cinematic TV focuses on four modalities of intermedial borrowings: homage, evocation, genre, and parody. Through close readings of such exemplary shows as Stranger Things, Mad Men, Damages, and Dear White People, the book demonstrates how serial dramas reproduce and rework, undermine and idolize, and, in some cases, compete with and outdo cinema.

Cult TV Heroines - Catriona Miller - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Cult TV Heroines - Catriona Miller - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

From Mrs Peel to the first female Doctor Who, this book offers a timely focus on the popular phenomenon of the cult TV heroine. The enduring phenomenon of cult TV itself is carefully explored through questions of genre, the role of the audience and the external environment of technological advances and business drivers. Catriona Miller then suggests a fresh account of the psychological dimension of the phenomenon utilising Carl Jung’s concepts of the transcendent function and active imagination.Her analysis of the heroines themselves considers the workings of the audio-visual text alongside narrative and character arcs, exploring the complex and contradictory ways in which the heroines are represented. Established cult TV favourites such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X Files , and Xena: Warrior Princess are examined alongside more recent shows such as Chilling Adventures of Sabrina , Jessica Jones and American Horror Story: Coven .

Better Living through TV - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Better Living through TV - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Watching television need not be a passive activity or simply for entertainment purposes. Television can be the site of important identity work and moral reflection. Audiences can learn about themselves, what matters to them, and how to relate to others by thinking about the implicit and explicit moral messages in the shows they watch. Better Living through TV: Contemporary TV and Moral Identity Formation analyzes the possibility of identifying and adopting moral values from television shows that aired during the latest Golden Era of television and Peak TV. The diversity of shows and approaches to moral becoming demonstrate how television during these eras took advantage of new technologies to become more film-like in both production quality and content. The increased depth of characterization and explosion of content across streaming and broadcast channels gave viewers a diversity of worlds and moral values to explore. The possibility of finding a moral in the stories told on popular shows such as The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire, and The Good Place, as well as lesser known shows such as Letterkenny and The Unicorn, are explored in a way that centers television viewing as a site for moral identity formation.

Satiric TV in the Americas - Paul Alonso - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Satiric TV in the Americas - Paul Alonso - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In a time of global infotainment, the crisis of modern journalism, the omnipresence of celebrity culture and reality TV, and the colonization of public discourse by media spectacle and entertainment, postmodern satiric media have emerged as prominent critical voices playing an unprecedented role at the heart of public debate. Indeed, satiric media has filled gaps left not only by traditional media but also by weak social institutions and discredited political elites. In Satiric TV in the Americas, Paul Alonso analyzes the most influential satiric TV shows in the Americas--focusing on shows in Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Chile and the United States--in order to understand their critical role in challenging the status quo, traditional journalism, and the prevalent local media culture. Alonso illuminates the phenomenon of satire as resistance and negotiation in public discourse, the role of entertainment media as a site where socio-political tensions are played out, and the changing notions of journalism in today''s democratic societies. Introducing the notion of "critical metatainment" -- a transgressive, self-referential reaction to the process of tabloidization and the cult of celebrity in the media spectacle era -- Satiric TV in the Americas is the first book to map, contextualize, and analyze relevant cases to understand the relation between political information, social and cultural dissent, critical humor, and entertainment in the region. Evaluating contemporary satiric media as a consequence of the collapse of modernity and its arbitrary dichotomies, Satiric TV in the Americas also shows that, as satiric formats travel to a particular national context, they are appropriated in different ways and adapted to local circumstances, with distinct consequences.

Camp TV of the 1960s - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Camp TV of the 1960s - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Camp TV of the 1960s offers a comprehensive understanding of all of the many forms camp TV took during that critical decade. In reevaluating the history of camp on television, the authors reconsider the infantilized conceptualization of sixties television, which has generally been characterized as the creative and cultural ebb between the 1950s Golden Age of television and the networks'' shift to "relevance" in the early 1970s. Encompassing contributions from a broad range of media and television scholars that (re)consider programs like Batman, The Monkees, The Addams Family, Bewitched, F Troop, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Rowan & Martin''s Laugh-In, chapters closely examine beloved 1960s American prime-time programs that drew significantly on aspects of camp, many of which were widely syndicated and left continuing imprints on popular culture. Other chapters consider key TV precursors from the early sixties; British camp television programs such as The Avengers; the use of musical codes to convey camp humor (even on black-and-white sets); the role that the viewing strategies of queer communities played - and continued to play even decades later; and how camp''s multivalence allowed for more conservative readings, especially among older audiences, which were critical for the move to "mass camp" throughout American culture by the early seventies. Camp TV of the 1960s is essential reading for students and scholars in television studies and others interested in the history and theory of camp, the 1960s, or popular culture, as well as fans of these well-known but generally understudied television programs.

Open TV - Aymar Jean Christian - Bog - New York University Press - Plusbog.dk

How the internet transformed television Before HBO's hit show Insecure, Issa Rae's comedy about being a nerdy black woman debuted as a YouTube web series The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, her response to the absence of diverse black characters on the small screen. Broad City, a feminist sitcom now on Comedy Central, originated as a web series on YouTube, developed directly out of funny women Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson's real-life friendship. These unconventional stories took advantage of the freedom afforded outside the traditional television system: online. Open TV shows how we have left "the network era" far behind and entered the networked era, with the web opening up new possibilities for independent producers, entrepreneurs, and media audiences. Based on interviews with writers, producers, show-runners, and network executives, visits to festivals and award shows, and the experience of producing his own series, Aymar Jean Christian argues that the web brought innovation to television by opening up series development to new producers, fans, and sponsors that had previously been excluded. Online access to distribution provides creative freedom for indie producers, allows for more diverse storytelling from marginalized communities, and introduces new ways of releasing and awarding shows. Open TV is essential reading for anyone interested in the changing environment of television and how the internet can inspire alternatives to what's on TV tonight.

Manipulative Reality TV and the Law - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Manipulative Reality TV and the Law - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This volume explores the problems and consequences of the range of legalities surrounding audience and consumer participation in the reality tv process. Much of the research is drawn from the Australian experience but comparisons are drawn with other jurisdictions, particularly the UK and North America. The book examines the nature of the free-thinking legal subject who rationally makes choices about their actions, and the concept of choice. It explores human rights related matters, including the consequences that flow from surveillance. The work considers the ability of existing areas of law to deal with their choices and actions, and the gaps in the law. It also discusses the choices of consumers, their rights, and their ability to freely access and comment on the nature of the programs concerned. The authors consider questions about the consequences for the wider polity that arise from reality television. This title provides a valuable guide to the cultural and legal issues arising from reality TV. It will be an essential resource for researchers, students, and practitioners in Law, Media, and Cultural Studies.
