No longer a source of unreflective nostalgia for reactionaries, it is now being represented as a more nuanced entity that reflects the complexities of socialist society. The black and white narratives that shaped cultural memory of the GDR during the first fifteen years after the Wende have largely been replaced by more complicated tones of grey.

Able Archer and the War Scare of 1983
A History Lesson in the German TV Series Deutschland 83: Able Archer and the War Scare of 1983 Sandro Sylvio WIESENBERG Introduction Deutschland 83 is a German television series that was first aired in 2015 in Germany as well as in the USA, UK, and many other countries with great success (Oltermann 2016). In 2017, it was also released in Japan on Amazon Prime. The series depicts events from the year 1983, a time when the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union had reached once again an increased level of tension. The main character, a young East German border guard, is sent as spy to West Germany. There he assumes the position of an orderly officer under a general of the West German armed forces who is coordinating an upcoming large-scale NATO exercise. As part of a Soviet-lead operation, the protagonist gathers intelligence about this exercise to find out if it is a disguise for a real attack, as feared by some of the Soviet leaders. The events in the drama culminate when the NATO exercise turns from the simulation of a conventional armed conflict to a simulated nuclear war during its final stage codenamed ‘Able Archer’ and the danger of an escalation between East and West grows. The plot of Deutschland 83 revolves around a less-known historical event and it is conceivable that many viewers never have heard of Able Archer before. However, the events related to this military exercise have sparked some controversy among historians as to how close the world was at the brink of a nuclear war at that time.

Scms 2017 Conference Program
SCMS 2017 CONFERENCE PROGRAM FAIRMONT CHICAGO MILLENNIUM PARK March 22–26, 2017 Letter from the President Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Host and Program Committees, and the Home Office staff, let me welcome everyone to SCMS 2017 in Chicago! Because of its Midwestern location and huge hub airport, not to say its wealth of great restaurants, nightlife, museums, shopping, and architecture, Chicago is always an exciting setting for an SCMS conference. This year at the Fairmont Chicago hotel we are in the heart of the city, close to the Loop, the river, and the Magnificent Mile. You can see the nearby Millennium Park from our hotel and the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue is but a short walk away. Included with the inexpensive hotel rate, moreover, are several amenities that I hope you will enjoy. I know from previewing the program that, as always, it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. This year we introduced our new policy limiting members to a single role, and I am happy to say that we achieved our goal of having fewer panels overall with no apparent loss of quality in the program or member participation. With this conference we have made presentation abstracts available online on a voluntary basis, and I urge you to let them help you navigate your way through the program.

Palavras-chave: série de TV; narrativa complexa; série dramática; engajamento da audiência; processo criativo. Abstract: some contemporary drama TV series are characterized by hybrid format (serial and episodic), expanded universe (transmedia), audience engagement, and long arcs that elaborate on personage’s characteristics. This paper analyzes this phenomenon in two steps: first, it establishes the main specificities in contemporary creation and fruition processes of TV series; second, it maps and delineates the outstanding resources that have contributed to their success.

Osservatorio Media del Moige Movimento Italiano Genitori a cura di Elisabetta Scala Palmira Di Marco Francesco La Rosa un anno di zapping guida critica family friendly ai programmi televisivi STAGIONE TELEVISIVA - 2015/2016 prefazione di On. Antono Martusciello indice Prefazione 7 Marida Caterini Introduzione 9 Maria Rita Munizzi, Elisabetta Scala Legenda dei simboli 11 Schede di analisi critica dei programmi 13 Indice dei programmi 323 Glossario dei termini tecnici 335 Note professionali degli autori 337 5 prefazione Una stagione televisiva molto controversa punteggiata, troppo frequentemente, da imbarazzanti cadute di stile. Palinsesti costruiti per catturare la curiosità del pubbli- co facendo leva su istinti degradanti ma ritenuti forieri di audience e quindi appetibili agli investitori pubblicitari. La tv mostra un sensibile e progressivo deterioramento dei valori etici, meno attenta al rispetto per i telespettatori e, soprattutto, per i minori. Fortunatamente, uno spiraglio esiste. E la speranza che si possa invertire il trend, fidando in un piccolo schermo a misura di famiglia, diventa visibile come un faro nella nebbia. Un anno di zapping ha, da sempre, il compito di analiz- zare i palinsesti individuando i meriti e la qualità dei pro- grammi, delle fiction, degli spot pubblicitari, dei talk show, dell’informazione e dell’intrattenimento in tutti i settori. Un lavoro lungo un anno, mai fazioso, attento e gratifi- cante, pronto a indicare la strada giusta per un’inversio- ne di tendenza verso una tv propositiva per un pubblico trasversale. Un lavoro che conosco da vicino nel quale io stessa sono stata impegnata lo scorso anno. La famiglia è la maggior fruitrice del piccolo schermo sia nelle forma convenzionale, ancora in grado di riunire tut- ti dinanzi al vecchio caro elettrodomestico, sia nella sua evoluzione resa possibile dalle nuove tecnologie.
