Описание: The 21st century is a good time to be Sherlock Holmes. He stars in the recent Guy Ritchie films, with Robert Downey, Jr., playing the great detective; an internationally popular BBC television series, featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock; a novel sanctioned by the Arthur Conan Doyle Estate; and dozens of additional novels and short stories, including two by Neil Gaiman. Add to this video games, comic books, and fan-created works, plus a potent Internet and social media presence. Holmes' London has even become a prime destination for cinematic tourists. The evidence is clearly laid out in this collection of 14 new essays: Holmes and Watson are more popular than ever. Why we continue to be fascinated with them is the overall topic. The genius detective has been portrayed as hero as well as antihero. Adaptations describe him as tech savvy, scientifically detached, even psychologically aberrant; he has been romantically linked to The Woman and bromantically to Watson. Whether Victorian or modern, he continues to intrigue us. These essays analyze Sherlock Holmes as a cultural icon and explain why he is destined to be a beloved if controversial character for years to come.
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.

Описание: Faced with what many were calling a dying medium, US network television producers became much more aggressive in seeking out alternative business and artistic models in the beginning of this century. Most significantly, many of these producers turned to the emerging field of transmedia (ancillary texts in comicbooks, novels and new media) as a way to bolster and support television products. In this book, the author examines four such programs (24, Alias, Heroes and Lost) and investigates how transmedia was incorporated into both the work and the art of network television production. Split into two complementary parts, the book first paints a picture of how transmedia producers were, or were not, incorporated into creative decision-making centers of these serialized programs. The second section explains how the presence of off-site transmedia texts begins to alter the very narrative construction of the on-air series themselves. Including interviews with the transmedia workers, this groundbreaking study extends the field of television studies into brand new areas, and brings a 'dying medium' into the 21st Century.
