  • 'Nothing but the Truth': Genre, Gender and Knowledge in the US
    ‘Nothing but the Truth’: Genre, Gender and Knowledge in the US Television Crime Drama 2005-2010 Hannah Ellison Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Film, Television and Media Studies Submitted January 2014 ©This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author's prior, written consent. 2 | Page Hannah Ellison Abstract Over the five year period 2005-2010 the crime drama became one of the most produced genres on American prime-time television and also one of the most routinely ignored academically. This particular cyclical genre influx was notable for the resurgence and reformulating of the amateur sleuth; this time remerging as the gifted police consultant, a figure capable of insights that the police could not manage. I term these new shows ‘consultant procedurals’. Consequently, the genre moved away from dealing with the ills of society and instead focused on the mystery of crime. Refocusing the genre gave rise to new issues. Questions are raised about how knowledge is gained and who has the right to it. With the individual consultant spearheading criminal investigation, without official standing, the genre is re-inflected with issues around legitimacy and power. The genre also reengages with age-old questions about the role gender plays in the performance of investigation. With the aim of answering these questions one of the jobs of this thesis is to find a way of analysing genre that accounts for both its larger cyclical, shifting nature and its simultaneously rigid construction of particular conventions.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 16_A70_TV_Acad_Ad.qxp_Layout 1 7/8/16 11:43 AM Page 1 PROUD MEMBER OF »CBS THE TELEVISION ACADEMY 2 ©2016 CBS Broadcasting Inc. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT HAVE INCREASED in what is widely regarded as television’s second Golden Age, so have employment opportunities for the talented men and women who create that programming. And as our industry, and the content we produce, have become more relevant, so has the relevance of the Television Academy increased as an essential resource for television professionals. In 2015, this was reflected in the steady rise in our membership — surpassing 20,000 for the first time in our history — as well as the expanding slate of Academy-sponsored activities and the heightened attention paid to such high-profile events as the Television Academy Honors and, of course, the Creative Arts Awards and the Emmy Awards. Navigating an industry in the midst of such profound change is both exciting and, at times, a bit daunting. Reimagined models of production and distribution — along with technological innovations and the emergence of new over-the-top platforms — have led to a seemingly endless surge of creativity, and an array of viewing options. As the leading membership organization for television professionals and home to the industry’s most prestigious award, the Academy is committed to remaining at the vanguard of all aspects of television. Toward that end, we are always evaluating our own practices in order to stay ahead of industry changes, and we are proud to guide the conversation for television’s future generations.

  • Or Not? Evoluzioni E Rivoluzioni Nella Serialità Post-Netflix
    Everything is Awesome – or not? Evoluzioni e rivoluzioni nella serialità post-Netflix Chiara Checcaglini Negli ultimi anni si sono moltiplicate riflessioni che pongono il settore della serialità televisiva al centro di un’ondata di cambiamenti particolarmente energica. Le prospettive di osservazione su queste mutazioni condividono alcune premesse. Sono ritenuti attori determinanti nel cambiamento i nuovi provider di contenuti che hanno fatto il loro ingresso nel mercato accanto alle tradizionali tipologie di reti: nello specifico, l’affermazione delle piattaforme over-the-top (OTT) non sarebbe cruciale solo dal punto di vista degli assetti economici del sistema dell’entertainment televisivo a base U.S.A., ma starebbe conducendo a significative modificazioni anche a livelli meno immediatamente misurabili, come la struttura e la messa in forma dei contenuti stessi delle serie televisive. Il modello di distribuzione e il rapporto tra servizio e consumatore rappresentato da soggetti come Netflix starebbe cioè gradualmente influenzando elementi estetico-stilistici che riguardano la sfera creativa della produzione seriale. La relazione tra contesto economico-produttivo e opzioni creative è in realtà una delle caratteristiche principali di un sistema industriale che si è sempre fondato sulla quantificabilità del feedback, sia esso legato agli spettatori venduti agli inserzionisti, o alle sottoscrizioni vendute agli spettatori. Negli ultimi vent’anni però la centralità delle serie televisive nei discorsi culturali, assieme alla legittimazione a cui è Between, vol. VI, n. 11 (Maggio/ May 2016) Chiara Checcaglini, Everything is Awesome – or not? Evoluzioni e rivoluzioni nella serialità post- Netflix andato incontro il settore1, ha spostato più in primo piano anche la componente immateriale della costruzione seriale: componenti come la qualità tecnica, il prestigio, il livello di sperimentazione e di eccesso dal punto di vista della rappresentazione diventano essi stessi fattori strategici nella costruzione dell’identità dei network e del loro pubblico.

There are exceptions—for example, Star board.” but a month later i realized, “wow, this is the answer to Trek and The Simpsons are done with an orchestra. Time is a big everything!” The scene memories are great, and the boards have a factor, too. for Arrested Development , i’m doing upwards of 12 very neutral sound i can do anything with.

There's nothing funny about it. But survival, and what it takes to survive, there can be humor in that.” -Rob Reiner, Director “I am…privy to many of the films that are released on a yearly basis about the Holocaust. I cannot think of one project that has taken the approach of THE LAST LAUGH. THE LAST LAUGH dispels the notion that there is nothing new to say or to reveal on the subject because this aspect of survival is one that very few have explored in print and no one that I know of has examined in a feature documentary.” -Richard Tank, Executive Director at the Simon Wiesenthal Center SHORT SYNOPSIS THE LAST LAUGH is a feature documentary about what is taboo for humor, seen through the lens of the Holocaust and other seemingly off-limits topics, in a society that prizes free speech.
