Описание: The image of Spartacus as a noble if doomed avenger is familiar and his story has been retold through history as a cautionary tale about social injustice. The series Spartacus takes a different view, with a graphically violent depiction of the man and his times and a focus on the archetype of the gladiator. This collection of new essays studies the series as an exploration of masculinity.

Описание: From cops who are paragons of virtue, to cops who are as bad as the bad guys...from surly loners, to upbeat partners...from detectives who pursue painstaking investigation, to loose cannons who just want to kick down the door, the heroes and anti-heroes of TV police dramas are part of who we are. They enter our living rooms and tell us tall tales about the social contract that exists between the citizen and the police. Love them or loathe them - according to the ratings, we love them - they serve a function. They've entertained, informed and sometimes infuriated audiences for over 60 years.This book attempts to explain why, but also to facilitate learning about the genre in higher education, making these shows ""teachable"" in a way they have never been before. Today not only are there more critical texts available, but, in the age of the download and the boxed set, the raw material is there. This collection of essays examines Dragnet, Highway Patrol, Naked City, The Untouchables, The F.B.I., Columbo, Hawaii Five-O, Kojak, Starsky & Hutch, Hill Street Blues, Cagney & Lacey, Miami Vice, Law & Order, Homicide: Life on the Street, NYPD Blue, CSI, The Shield, The Wire, and Justified.It's time to take another look at the "perps," the "vics" and the boys and girls in blue, and ask how their representation intersects with questions of class, gender, sexuality, and "race." What is their socio-cultural agenda? What is their relation to genre and televisuality? And why is it that when a TV cop gives a witness their card and says, ""call me,"" that witness always ends up on a slab?

Описание:
Do you find yourself contemplating the imminent end of the world? Do you wonder how society might reorganize itself to cope with global cataclysm? (Have you begun hoarding canned goods and ammunition...?) Visions of an apocalypse began to dominate mass media well before the year 2000. Yet narratives since then present decidedly different spins on cultural anxieties about terrorism, disease, environmental collapse, worldwide conflict and millennial technologies. Many of these concerns have been made metaphorical: zombie hordes embody fear of out-of-control appetites and encroaching disorder. Other fears, like the prospect of human technology's turning on its creators, seem more reality based. This collection of new essays explores apocalyptic themes in a variety of post-millennial media, including film, television, video games, webisodes and smartphone apps.
Описание: During its 33-season run, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (1968-2001) left an indelible mark on millions of children and their caregivers. With television, Fred Rogers found the perfect medium for disseminating his prosocial messages to a mass audience of young people, helping them to better understand themselves and their world. Perhaps no series in the history of children's television has done more to develop the identity and ethics of the child. More than a decade after Rogers' death, he continues to attract an audience online. Yet despite the show's lasting impact it has been largely ignored by scholars.This collection of new essays focuses on Rogers' contribution to children's lives and media and to American culture. The contributors discuss his stance on the individual and the perception of self, his ideas about meaningful participation in a community and his use of television to accomplish his goals. At a time when the demands of a highly technological, media-dense world have diminished our capacity to listen carefully and to be present to others, Rogers' ideas still resonate.
Описание: Launched in 1977 by the Christian Broadcasting Service, the network originally associated with Pat Robertson has gone through many changes in ownership and title. Its most recent incarnations, ABC Family (2001-2016) and Freeform (2016-present), feature a unique mixture of programming that over the past decade has taken significant risks to become one of the leading cable channels with its targeted demographic of 14-34 year-olds. Through a carefully selected group of essays, we examine this important television channel from a variety of perspectives.ABC Family/Freeform has encouraged intriguing marketing projects, utilizing social media to increase viewership and further monetize their programming. The network has boldly addressed topical issues including lesbian and gay parenting, postfeminism and changing perceptions of women, the complicated position of race in the United States, and the status of disability in American culture. Embracing inclusivity, ABC Family/Freeform has worked to make its television shows diverse, creating space for underrepresented communities like transgender youth, Deaf communities, fat teenagers, and disabled people. By embracing the new identity embodied in Freeform, the network has been better able to represent its boldness and willingness to break free from what has traditionally been understood as “family” programming.
