The extraordinary global success of Turkish drama serials is a significant development in contemporary popular culture. This book presents comparative audience data from three different regions to explore its ramifications across the Global South. We learn how this phenomenon has transformed Turkey-a Muslim-majority country-into the world's second-largest producer of scripted television serials, enticing audiences from all over the world. The book takes an audience-centred approach, investigating the reasons for the allure of Turkish dramas to Arab, Latin American, and Israeli audiences. In tandem, it explores Turkey's changing foreign policy, economic, and trade relationships since the turn of the millennium, which have coincided with the enormous success of the country's television output. It also analyses the role and importance of Turkish dramas as a soft-power tool by scrutinizing how they have influenced viewers' perceptions of Turkey, its people, and its culture. This volume will appeal to those working in various disciplines-from media and communication, international relations, public diplomacy, sociology, and Middle Eastern studies. The material will also be of great relevance to upper-level undergraduates, postgraduate students, academics, scholars and researchers.

Television is evolving rapidly. How, then, might we respond to television today in light of its past? And do the old theoretical concepts still apply, or must we invent a new framework for this mutable medium? To answer these fundamental questions, the contributors to this provocative collection examine diverse case studies, including up-to-date scholarship on the current television zeitgeist, nostalgic programming on broadcast television, YouTube, and public television art programming of the 1980s. As a whole, these essays challenge the supposed crisis in television in the light of its burgeoning development.

The Queer Fantasies of the American Family Sitcom examines the evasive depictions of sexuality in domestic and family-friendly sitcoms. Tison Pugh charts the history of increasing sexual depiction in this genre while also unpacking how sitcoms use sexuality as a source of power, as a kind of camouflage, and as a foundation for family building. The book examines how queerness, at first latent, became a vibrant yet continually conflicted part of the family-sitcom tradition. Taking into account elements such as the casting of child actors, the use of and experimentation with plot traditions, the contradictory interpretive valences of comedy, and the subtle subversions of moral standards by writers and directors, Pugh points out how innocence and sexuality conflict on television. As older sitcoms often sit on a pedestal of nostalgia as representative of the Golden Age of the American Family, television history reveals a deeper, queerer vision of family bonds.

Jean d’Arcy (1913-1983) est aujourd’hui connu comme celui qui fut directeur des programmes de télévision dans les années cinquante. Tout était alors à inventer. Cet ouvrage porte un regard sur l’homme de programmes, pionnier d’un modèle de télévision de service public en France. Il resitue les années charnières (1952-1959) dans la vie intellectuelle et professionnelle de Jean d’Arcy. Il trace le portrait de l’homme dans son siècle. Plusieurs contributions se penchent sur les années de formation, soulignent les engagements, éclairent les principes et les formes de son action. Le projet culturel et politique, les registres télévisuels qui l’incarnent et l’approche du public qui en résulte constituent l’un des volets de ce livre, qui montre également comment ce projet s’ancre dans une conception et une vision de l’Europe. Avec ses réussites remarquables, ses contraintes et ses limites. Lors de l’exercice de sa mission à l’Onu comme directeur de la Division radio et des moyens visuels de 1961 à 1971, la réflexon de Jean d’Arcy s’élargit. Cet ouvrage collectif montre comment se construit et circule son analyse de la communication à l’échelle du monde. Sa correspondance et ses discours témoignent de cet intérêt sans relâche pour l’information pensée comme lien entre les peuples dans un contexte d’accélération de la transmission des images. Ainsi, pense-t-il, dès la fin des années soixante, le Droit de ’homme à la communication et la préfiguration d Internet.
