Abstract

"TV finales fascinate us because they bring universes to an end--in the case of long-running shows, very complicated universes--exposing in the process our cultural obsessions, our 'reading' practices, our imagined identities, our fascination with television. This volume brings together the work of 63 scholars in 71 essays, each essay discussing a different television finale"--

Abstract

Ultimately, the book argues

Abstract

While television in today’s world increasingly displays a global character, national television systems are still firmly rooted in a specific locality. But in what ways does this locality actually shape the content and performance of national television? What is the significance of local cultures and local languages in these processes of mediation? And how do the local, the national, and the global intersect in discourses of and discourse on television? Taking a critical discourse analysis perspective, Watching Si Doel investigates these and related questions in the context of contemporary Indonesia. Starting from the nationwide popularity of the local television serial Si Doel Anak Sekolahan ('Educated Doel'), it examines the various ways in which the national government, Indonesian television producers, and local audiences shape, interpret, and struggle over the meaning of the phrase ‘national television’. In doing so, the book explores what Indonesian television at the turn of the century sounds and looks like—and, significantly, ought to sound and look like—according to those who create and control television and those who watch and interpret it. While providing insight into the production, nature, and reception of television discourse in general, this book particularly seeks to clarify the relationship between television, language, and power in late New Order and post-Soeharto Indonesia. The dvd contains video excerpts from the sitcom Si Doel .

Abstract

Over the last decade Spain and Mexico have both produced an extraordinary wealth of television drama. Drawing on both national practices of production and reception and international theories of textual analysis this book offers the first study of contemporary quality TV drama in two countries where television has displaced cinema as the creative medium that shapes the national narrative. As dramatized societies, Spain and Mexico are thus at once reflected and refracted by the new series on the small screen.

Abstract

A partir des années 1830, notamment en France et en Angleterre, la littérature commence à s'industrialiser, grâce à l'essor des journaux et périodiques à grand tirage. Cette poussée commerciale donne naissance à un mode de publication inédit, le roman-feuilleton, caractérisé par le découpage des romans en tranches publiées à intervalles réguliers. Mais ce contexte éditorial en pleine effervescence a-t-il exercé une influence sur les techniques d'écriture des feuilletonistes ? Et si c'est le cas, dans quelle mesure ces derniers ont-ils dû forger une rhétorique nouvelle pour répondre aux exigences des feuilletons ? Dans cette perspective, quelle part convient-il de faire à la résurgence de genres déjà établis comme le mélodrame, le gothique et le roman d'aventures ? Or, les mêmes questions se posent lorsque l'on considère les productions plus récentes de l'héritière la plus importante du roman-feuilleton, la série télévisuelle.Cet ouvrage se propose donc de mettre en lumière la spécificité de l'écriture sérielle dans sa double manifestation littéraire et télévisuelle et de retracer les multiples convergences narratives et formelles qui la traversent, qu'il s'agisse d'interactions avec le théâtre ou de métissages génériques menant parfois à l'émergence de genres nouveaux.
