  • Skins and the Impossibility of Youth Television
    Skins and the impossibility of youth television David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays, can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. In 2007, the UK media regulator Ofcom published an extensive report entitled The Future of Children’s Television Programming. The report was partly a response to growing concerns about the threats to specialized children’s programming posed by the advent of a more commercialized and globalised media environment. However, it argued that the impact of these developments was crucially dependent upon the age group. Programming for pre-schoolers and younger children was found to be faring fairly well, although there were concerns about the range and diversity of programming, and the fate of UK domestic production in particular. Nevertheless, the impact was more significant for older children, and particularly for teenagers. The report was not optimistic about the future provision of specialist programming for these age groups, particularly in the case of factual programmes and UK- produced original drama. The problems here were partly a consequence of the changing economy of the television industry, and partly of the changing behaviour of young people themselves. As the report suggested, there has always been less specialized television provided for younger teenagers, who tend to watch what it called ‘aspirational’ programming aimed at adults. Particularly in a globalised media market, there may be little money to be made in targeting this age group specifically.

By many accounts, there has been a Gaeilge renaissance underway in recent times. The number of Gaeilge-medium primary and secondary schools (Gaelscoileanna) has grown throughout the 1990s and into the twenty-first century, the year 2003 saw the passage of the Official Languages Act (laying the groundwork to assure all public services would be made available in Gaeilge as well as English), and as of January 2007 Gaeilge has become a working language of the European Union.

    ‘Doing it for the kids’? The Discursive Construction of the Teenager and Teenage Sexuality in Skins Susan Berridge Abstract: The teen series is often regarded by television scholars as an inherently American genre. Indeed, the genre is marked by US constructs, such as the cheerleader, jock, homecoming dance and prom and, in turn, teen television scholarship has focused almost exclusively on US texts. However, more recent years have seen the emergence of British teen drama series, most notably Skins (E4, 2007–), which has been so successful that it has spawned an (albeit short- lived) US version which aired on MTV. In an attempt to redress the dearth of academic study of British teen dramas, this article explores Skins in more detail. Journalistic discourse on the programme has frequently emphasised the series’ nihilism in contrast to the didacticism that characterises its US generic counterparts, which the series’ creators justify by claims for its authenticity. This article moves beyond the authentic/inauthentic debate to explore instead the discursive construction of the teenager and teenage sexuality in the specific context of broadcasting in the UK. Thus, after situating Skins in relation to the history of youth programming in Britain and, specifically, on Channel 4, the article will explore issue-led storylines involving teenage sexuality in more detail. It will argue that despite the programme’s nihilistic ethos, Skins is underpinned by more conservative ideologies, particularly regarding the depiction of gender and sexuality. In turn, this ambivalence makes it difficult to discern the programme’s ideological stance on sexual issues. Keywords: Britain; Channel 4; representation; sexuality; teen drama; teenager; television.

  • Digitisation and Online Exploitation of Broadcasters' Archives
    Digitisation and Online Exploitation of Broadcasters’ Archives The archives of many television broadcasters now contain materiel which includes more than half a century of contemporary, documentary and entertainment history and are of immense cultural and economic value. Digitisation has created an entirely new technical basis for making these assets available to a wide audience, and there are a whole range of projects aimed at opening up audiovisual archives (including those of broadcasters). Examples that might be mentioned are the BBC Creative Archive, the Dutch Filmotech initiative or the French Inamédiapro database. However, many projects to open up broadcasters’ archives and exploit them online generally run up against serious problems when it comes to clearing the rights for these archived works. These problems arise, firstly, due to a contractual practice that developed in the pre-digital era and to aspects of copyright law that do not really meet the needs of the digital age. Secondly, the very large number of works stored in archives constitutes a challenge that is not easily overcome. The aim of this IRIS Special publication is to discuss the subject of “Digitisation and online exploitation of broadcasters’ archives” from a number of different perspectives. The team of authors involved is accordingly made up of representatives of many different interests: copyright holders and those who look after their interests, television broadcasters, lawyers and copyright experts. Their contributions can be divided into four subject-areas: - The legal framework of digitisation - Rights clearance and dealing with orphan works - The online exploitation of public service broadcasters’ archives, including relevant Digitisation and competition aspects - Cross-border exploitation.

  • ACSC Program 2020
    Welcome Welcome to the eighth annual Austin College Student Scholarship Conference, a celebration of our students’ intellectual curiosity and their participation in the pursuit of new knowledge and new achievement. One of the hallmarks of an Austin College education is our belief that learning takes place everywhere. Our students go beyond the boundaries of the classroom and into the laboratory, the studio, the stage, and the community. The work presented here demonstrates how students have extended their learning a cross many disciplines and methods of study. Research and scholarship are not only valuable in their own right; the process brings with it many other positive outcomes. Students develop a variety of communication skills to present their results. They gain persistence, patience, and commitment by testing their own hypotheses, considering alternate solutions, and seeing their own original research questions through to comple- tion. All of these efforts serve students well in whatever future interests they pursue. Another hallmark of an Austin College education is the individual mentoring relationships our students find here. Faculty members demonstrate their own intellectual curiosity through ac- ademic pursuits and also create structures that both engage stu- dents and provide opportunities for them to embark on independ- ent study. Without faculty support and guidance, this conference would not be possible. I would like to particularly thank the Con- ference Planning Committee for the time and energy they spent providing a showcase for student achievement of such depth and breadth. This conference is designed to encourage dialogue and engagement. We hope that you will take this opportunity to meet new people and encounter new ideas.
