    The Presence of Performance and the Stakes of Serial Drama: Accrual, Transience, Companionship Elliott Logan MPhil (University of Queensland, 2013) BA, Hons (University of Queensland, 2009) BA (University of Queensland, 2007) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Communication and Arts Abstract This thesis shows how performance is a critically neglected but crucial aspect of serial television drama as an art form. One of serial drama’s obvious storytelling attractions is its ability to involve viewers in relationships between characters over long periods of time. Such involvement takes place through a recurring structure of episodes and seasons, whose unfolding reflects the extensive, ongoing history through which interpersonal bonds form and develop, deepen and decay. The characters we watch onscreen are embodied and performed by actors. Television studies, however, has persistently overlooked screen performance, hampering appreciation of serial drama’s affinity with long-term relationships as a resource for aesthetic significance. Redressing such neglect, this thesis directs new critical attention to expressive stylistic relationships between serial form, screen performance, and the subject of companionship in some recent US serial dramas. The focus of that attention is a particular aesthetic quality: the provisional, which emerges through serial drama’s distinctive tension between permanence and transience. In the first chapter, I argue that the provisional is central to an affinity between screen performance, seriality in television drama, and companionship as an aspect of human life. Chapters Two and Three then show how the art of the provisional in particular series has been underappreciated due to television studies’ neglect of performance and expressiveness as dimensions of serial form in television fiction.

  • Los Elementos De La Cultura De Masas Al Servicio De Las Ideologías Políticas
    Los elementos de la cultura de masas al servicio de las ideologías políticas Bianca Sánchez-Gutiérrez (Universidad de Sevilla) [[email protected]] E-ISSN: 2173-1071 IC – Revista Científica de Información y Comunicación 2018, 15, pp. 325 - 330 Pineda, Antonio, Fernández Gómez, Jorge David & Huici, Adrián (Coords.). (2018). Ideologías políticas en la cultura de masas. Tecnos: Sevilla. ¿Contienen sesgo ideológico los productos que conforman la cultura de masas? En caso afirmativo, ¿somos los consumidores realmente conscientes de la carga ideológica que el entretenimiento porta? Las series, el cine, la música, los cómics o la literatura son, en efecto, contenedores de ideologías políticas. Esta es la interesante propuesta de partida que el libro Ideologías políticas en la cultura de masas (Tecnos, 2018) plantea. Coordinado por los profesores del departamento de Comunicación Audiovisual y Publicidad de la Universidad de Sevilla Antonio Pineda, Jorge David Fernández Gómez y Adrián Huici, esta obra muestra en algo más de 360 páginas cómo y hasta qué punto la mass culture bebe de las ideologías políticas a la hora de crear contenidos. Frente a la teoría crítica frankfurtiana que sostiene que existe una determinada ideología dominante en la cultura de masas, los coordinadores se 326 Bianca Sánchez-Gutiérrez IC – Revista Científica de InformaciónIC – Revista y Comunicación han propuesto demostrar que existen muchas ideologías, no solo la dominante, las cuales también se sirven de estos elementos que conforman la industria del entretenimiento para propagarse y que constituyen un generoso margen que abarca desde lo más mainstream a lo más alternativo. La selección de obras objeto de estudio en esta investigación, todas ellas pertenecientes a diferentes géneros (cine, series de ficción, literatura, cómic, música o, incluso, discursos), nos ofrece un abanico representativo y diverso, en su mayor parte de carácter internacional.
