  • As in Email Sent Previously, I Could Use Any of the Official Goggle Box
    Proposed image – as in email sent previously, I could use any of the official goggle box images C4 will have the rights to, but as much of the chapter is on the secondary encoding status of the GB ‘characters’, and it ends with an imagined conversation with Leon, this one would be perfect - http://i2.liverpoolecho.co.uk/incoming/article7867510.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/JS47735467.jpg Otherwise, any thing available here but preferably of ‘unhappy’ viewing given the scene in question is a ‘tear jerker’: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/gogglebox/58931-004 Žižekat the Gogglebox Julian McDougall The mediation of pedagogy in popular culture rarely provides a space for a critical discussion of either education itself or the social practice of teaching. The contemporary philosopher Slavoj Žižek provides an analytical perspective for discussing the ideological power at work in apparently liberal mediation, through which we are given a space for a sentimental, but profoundly uncritical response to inequality. This chapter will address, through a Žižekian approach, the mediation of pedagogy via its secondary-encoded, hyper-mediated reception. The subject-object / viewer- viewed 'characters' of Channel 4's Gogglebox will be discussed in relation to their responses to Educating Yorkshire’s most publicly impactful moment – the ‘triumph of Musharaf’, the student whose debilitating stammer is ‘cured’ via the intervention of his English teacher. In so doing, the response will attempt to work through a parallax reflection on the programme's failure to disrupt, in the moment of our collective reception, the alienating regime conditions from which its hero is temporarily granted salvation.

Orphaned at a young age, Jane is placed in the care of her wealthy aunt Mrs Reed, who neglects her in favour of her own three spoiled children. Jane is branded a liar, and Mrs Reed sends her to the grim and joyless Lowood School where she stays until she is 19. Determined to make the best of her life, Jane takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall, the home of the alluring and unpredictable Edward Rochester. It is here that Jane’s journey into the world, and as a woman, begins. Writer Sandy Welch (North And South, Magnificent Seven), producer Diederick Santer (Shakespeare Retold – Much Ado About Nothing) and director Susanna White (Bleak House) join forces to bring this ever-popular tale of passion, colour, madness and gothic horror to BBC One. Producer Diederick Santer says: “Sandy’s brand-new adaptation brings to life Jane’s inner world with beauty, humour and, at times, great sadness. We hope that her original take on the story will be enjoyed as much by long- term fans of the book as by those who have never read it.” The serial also stars Francesca Annis as Lady Ingram, Christina Cole as Blanche Ingram, Lorraine Ashbourne as Mrs Fairfax, Pam Ferris as Grace Poole and Tara Fitzgerald as Mrs Reed.

Thank you for subscribingWe have more newslettersShow meSee ourprivacy notice Invalid Email When Jeremy Corbyn appears in a special charity edition of Gogglebox on Friday he will be the latest in a long line of high profile politicians to subject himself to the vagaries of reality television. Similarly, “brave” is the fabulously hirsute Tory MP Michael Fabricant, who will appear sometime soon as a contestant, also for charity, on Channel 4’s Celebrity First Dates. These things aside, Gogglebox is a curious success story where the appeal is essen- tially in the audience watching people who are watching and commenting on pro- grammes that TV viewers can’t actually see. It’s an insight into human behaviour, really, and it’s no coincidence that the format is based on one of the premises of the sitcom The Royle Family. The writers of that show, Craig Cash and the late Caroline Aherne, were the original narrators of Goggle- box. It is also a show that allows ordinary people to be witty, disgusted, charmed, tearful and ultimately natural in a recognisable habitat.
