Quality Telefantasy How US Quality TV Brought Zombies Dragons and Androids into the Mainstream

Quality Telefantasy How US Quality TV Brought Zombies Dragons and Androids into the Mainstream

This book explores the relatively new genre of ‘Quality Telefantasy’ and how it has broadened TV taste cultures by legitimating and mainstreaming fantastical content. It also shows how the rising popularity of this genre marks a distinct and significant development in what kinds of TV are culturally dominant and critically regarded. By expanding and building on the definition of US Quality TV this book brings together a number of popular science fiction fantasy and horror TV series including Game of Thrones The Walking Dead and Westworld as case studies which demonstrate the emergence of the Quality Telefantasy genre. It looks at the role of technology including internet recap culture and subscription video on demand distribution in Quality Telefantasy’s swift emergence and analyses its success internationally by considering series created outside the US like Kingdom (South Korea Netflix) and Dark (Germany Netflix). The book argues that Quality Telefantasy series should be considered a part of the larger Quality TV super-genre and that the impact they are having on the global TV landscape warrants further investigation as it continues to evolve. This is a valuable text for students and scholars studying or undertaking research in the areas of television studies new media and pop-cultural studies. | Quality Telefantasy How US Quality TV Brought Zombies Dragons and Androids into the Mainstream

Reality TV

From early first-wave programs such as Candid Camera An American Family and The Real World to the shows on our television screens and portable devices today reality television consistently takes us to cities—such as New York Los Angeles and Boston—to imagine the place of urbanity in American culture and society. Jon Kraszewski offers the first extended account of this phenomenon as he makes the politics of urban space the center of his history and theory of reality television. Kraszewski situates reality television in a larger economic transformation that started in the 1980s when America went from an industrial economy when cities were home to all classes to its post-industrial economy as cities became key points in a web of global financing expelling all economic classes except the elite and the poor. Reality television in the industrial era reworked social relationships based on class race and gender for liberatory purposes which resulted in an egalitarian ethos in the genre. However reality television of the post-industrial era attempts to convince viewers that cities still serve their interests even though most viewers find city life today economically untenable. Each chapter uses a key theoretical concept from spatial theory—such as power geometries diasporic nostalgia orientalism the imagination of social expulsions and the relationship between the country and the city—to illuminate the way reality television engages this larger transformation of urban space in America. | Reality TV

Disability Representation in Film TV and Print Media

Consumerism on TV Popular Media from the 1950s to the Present

Consumerism on TV Popular Media from the 1950s to the Present

Presenting case studies of well-known shows including Will and Grace Birds of a Feather Sex and the City and Absolutely Fabulous as well as 'reality' television this book examines the transformations that have occurred in consumer society since its appearance and the ways in which these have been constructed and represented in popular media imagery. With analyses of the ways in which consumerism has played out in society Consumerism on TV highlights specific aspects of the changing nature of consumerism by way of considerations of gender sexuality and class as well as less definable changes such as those to do with the celebration of ostentatious greed or the righteousness of the ’ethical’ shopper. With attention to the highly delineated consumer field in which ’shopping’ as an embedded practice of everyday life is caught between escapism and politics authors explore a variety of themes such as the extent to which consumerism has become embedded in forging identity the positing of consumerism as a form of activism the visibility of the gay male consumer and invisibility of the lesbian consumer and the (re)stratification of consumer types along class lines. An engaging invitation to consider whether the positioning of consumerism through on-screen depictions is indicative of a new type of non-philosophical politics of 'choice' - a form of marketised (a)political pragmatism - this book will appeal to scholars and students of sociology and cultural and media studies with interests in class consumption and gender. | Consumerism on TV Popular Media from the 1950s to the Present

Framed by a detailed analysis of the multiple processes that shape these works is a sustained analysis of the serials Mr Robot Billions The Leftovers Rectify and Westworld and the dynamics of despair and hope that ripple through them.
