It is rumoured that the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who will be titled ! Asylum of the Daleks. The Guardian has reported this episode will premiere at the Edinburgh International Television Festival in August, with speculation that it will screen on the BBC immediately following this. What the BBC has confirmed is the first five episodes of series seven will be broad- cast in 2012, followed by the Christmas special. This will introduce a new companion, to be played by Jenna-Louise Coleman. The remaining eight episodes will be seen in 2013, the 50th anniversary year of the show.

  • The Fantastic Queer: Reading Gay Representations in Torchwood and True Blood As Articulations of Queer Resistance Frederik Dhaenens1
    Critical Studies in Media Communication Vol. 30, No. 2, June 2013, pp. 102Á116 The Fantastic Queer: Reading Gay Representations in Torchwood and True Blood as Articulations of Queer Resistance Frederik Dhaenens1 Fantasy films and television series have generally taken an ambivalent position toward homosexuality. On the one hand, the genre has omitted representations of gay characters or displaced homosexuality onto the victims, villains, or nonhuman others. Hence, from a queer theoretical perspective, homosexuality has been represented as a threat to the hegemonic discourse of heteronormativity. On the other hand, deconstructionist practices have revealed how the other may be read as a form of cultural resistance and a powerful metaphor for gay men and women. However, a few 21st-century fantasy series are breaking the tradition by representing characters and themes explicitly marked as gay. Using a textual analysis of two contemporary fantasy series (Torchwood and True Blood), this study illustrates how the inclusion of gay characters rearticulates this ambivalent position of the fantasy genre toward homosexuality. The ambivalence no longer serves to read the others as metaphors for homosexuality and/or queerness, but allows us to imagine queer subject positions and transgressive norms and values in close relation to actual gay characters. Keywords: Torchwood; True Blood; Gay Representation; Queer Theory; The Fantastic Introduction Nan Flanagan: We’re citizens. We pay taxes. We deserve basic civil rights ...just like everyone else. Bill Maher: Yeah, but ...I mean, come on. Doesn’t your race have a rather sordid history ...of exploiting and feeding off innocent people for centuries? Nan Flanagan: Three points.

    Screwing Aliens and Screwing with Aliens: Torchwood slashes The Doctor. Richard Berger The Centre for Excellence in Media Practice. Bournemouth University Poole Dorset BH12 5BB + 44 (0)1202) 961622. [email protected] Biography. I am currently Reader in Media & Education at the Centre for Excellence in Media Practice, Bournemouth University, UK. I am programme leader for the Masters in Creative & Media Education and I coordinate pedagogic research in the Media School at Bournemouth. My other research interests include the adaptation of literature, comic books and videogames to film and television as well as blogging, fanfic, and other forms of personal expression online. In addition I am an experienced broadcaster and journalist for BBC Online and BBC Radio, a regular contributor to the independent film magazine, The Big Picture, and co-editor of The Media Research Journal. Screwing Aliens and Screwing with Aliens: Torchwood slashes The Doctor. In summer 2004 an independent study of the BBC’s web provision was published. The Graf Report stated for the first time that the BBC’s web content should be now viewed as the corporation’s third medium – alongside radio and television. In addition the report put the case for what it called ‘360 degree commissioning’ whereby content was produced across the BBC’s platforms, simultaneously. The effect was almost immediate, with the BBC shutting down some of its many websites and reorganizing its new media division as elements of existing departments, rather than an adjunct to radio and television output. At the same time discussions were already underway for the revival of a television franchise which had been largely ignored for 16 years, despite having an almost fanatical following.

  • SCT RDA Record Examples April 24, 2012
    About the SCT RDA Record Examples April 24, 2012 The PCC SCT RDA Records Task Group collected and reviewed 138 records (8 authority records and 130 bibliographic records, including 3 that were non‐MARC). To the best of our knowledge, the records are consistent with revisions made to RDA that were included in the April 10, 2012 release of the RDA Toolkit. The task group received invaluable assistance from many individuals, whose contributions are acknowledged in the group’s Final Report. Needless to say, we are responsible for any and all errors in the records. To report errors in these records, please refer to contact information given in the last section of this introduction. The organization of the records reflects in part how and where they were collected. Please note that there is some overlap of categories. (e.g., Records for law resources include primarily textual monographs, but also a few online resources and a rare book). Policy decisions. The task group was faced with several thorny policy decisions, most notably: • Show a variety of practices acceptable under RDA, or follow the same RDA options and alternatives consistently? Adhere to LC practice in LCPSs? RDA allows a variety of practices: Bibliographic records can be entered at a core level, LC core level, or fuller level. Additionally, RDA often offers a choice of various other options and alternatives. LCPSs reflect LC practice, but there are no equivalent PCC policy statements. Relationship designators are optional, as are all note fields and most access points beyond the one for the primary work manifested.
