    “My” Hero or Epic Fail? Torchwood as Transnational Telefantasy Melissa Beattie1 Recibido: 2016-09-19 Aprobado por pares: 2017-02-17 Enviado a pares: 2016-09-19 Aceptado: 2017-03-23 DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Para citar este artículo / to reference this article / para citar este artigo Beattie, M. (2017). “My” hero or epic fail? Torchwood as transnational telefantasy. Palabra Clave, 20(3), 722-762. DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Abstract Telefantasy series Torchwood (2006–2011, multiple production partners) was industrially and paratextually positioned as being Welsh, despite its frequent status as an international co-production. When, for series 4 (sub- titled Miracle Day, much as the miniseries produced as series 3 was subti- tled Children of Earth), the production (and diegesis) moved primarily to the United States as a co-production between BBC Worldwide and Amer- ican premium cable broadcaster Starz, fan response was negative from the announcement, with the series being termed Americanised in popular and academic discourse. This study, drawn from my doctoral research, which interrogates all of these assumptions via textual, industrial/contextual and audience analysis focusing upon ideological, aesthetic and interpretations of national identity representation, focuses upon the interactions between fan cultural capital and national cultural capital and how those interactions impact others of the myriad of reasons why the (re)glocalisation failed. It finds that, in part due to the competing public service and commercial ide- ologies of the BBC, Torchwood was a glocalised text from the beginning, de- spite its positioning as Welsh, which then became glocalised again in series 4.

  • The Popular on British Television: Global Perspectives, National Priorities, Local Preferences R E N É E D I C K a S O N U N I V E R S I T Y O F C a E N
    CULTURA , LENGUAJE Y REPRESENTACIÓN / CULTURE , LANGUAGE AND REPRESENTATION ˙ ISSN 1697-7750 · VOL . VIII \ 2010, pp. 57-74 REVISTA DE ESTUDIOS CULTURALES DE LA UNIVERSITAT JAUME I / CULTURAL STUDIES JOURNAL OF UNIVERSITAT JAUME I The Popular on British Television: Global Perspectives, National Priorities, Local Preferences RENÉE DICKASON UNIVERSITY OF CAEN ABSTRACT : This article explores two related and highly significant aspects of British broadcasting: how the nature and identity of British television have been influenced by the potentially contradictory demands of high and low culture and associated popular and quality programming; and how (far) national broadcasting has been able to face the threat to its existence posed first by internationalisation and now by globalisation. After an initial discussion of the notions of the global and the popular, this study considers how past conceptions of the role of television affected attitudes to programming, before considering the difficulty of determining what is national, popular television in a world where domestic broadcasts and global pastiches are scheduled side by side. The conclusion examines how national and local characteristics have enabled British programmes to maintain popularity in the face of globalisation. Keywords: Britishness, culture, identity, originality, quality, representation. RESUMEN : El presente artículo explora dos aspectos relevantes de las retransmisio- nes británicas: cómo la identidad y naturaleza de la televisión británica se han visto influidas por las exigencias potencialmente contradictorias de la alta cultura, con su programación de calidad, y de la cultura popular, con su búsqueda de audiencia; y si la producción nacional ha resistido la amenaza, primero de la internacionaliza- ción y ahora, de la globalización.
