Best known as co-writer of Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted (1995‐98), Irish writer Arthur Mathews is among the most versatile in recent British and Irish television comedy. Mathews’s other British work includes sketch show Big Train (1998‐2002), Toast of London (2013‐15) and Toast of Tinseltown (2022‐present), while his work for Irish television includes the sitcom Val Falvey TD (2009). Drawing on interviews with Mathews concerning his formation and development as a writer, this article situates his distinctive comic sensibility within Ireland’s changing social and cultural landscape from the 1960s to the 1980s and the east coast of Ireland’s unusual ‘mediascape’ as a confluence of Irish, British and American currents. Mathews’s career and work illustrate how comic sensibility, national and regional identities intersect in the ‘British Isles’ as a geo-cultural archipelago rather than a collection of distinctive national identities. The article examines how he relates his acutely surreal humour and love of generic and stylistic incongruity to his formative experiences of watching and absorbing British television from a vantage point both ‘outside’, in a different national jurisdiction, and culturally on its margins. Finally, it gauges the limits of Mathews’s work in offering forms of cultural and social critique through comedy.
作为第四频道情景喜剧《泰德父亲》(1995 - 98)的联合编剧,爱尔兰作家亚瑟·马修斯是最近英国和爱尔兰电视喜剧中最多才多艺的作家之一。马修斯的其他英国作品包括小品节目《大火车》(1998年至2002年)、《伦敦吐司》(2013年至2015年)和《好莱坞吐司》(2022年至今),而他在爱尔兰电视台的作品包括情景喜剧《瓦尔·法尔维》(2009年)。通过对马修斯作为作家的形成和发展的采访,本文将他独特的喜剧敏感性置于20世纪60年代至80年代爱尔兰不断变化的社会和文化景观以及爱尔兰东海岸不同寻常的“媒体景观”中,作为爱尔兰,英国和美国潮流的汇合。马修斯的职业生涯和作品说明了“不列颠群岛”作为一个地理文化群岛,而不是一个独特的国家身份的集合,是如何喜剧感性、国家和地区身份相交的。这篇文章探讨了他是如何将他强烈的超现实主义幽默和对一般和风格不一致的热爱与他从“外部”、不同国家管辖和文化边缘的有利位置观看和吸收英国电视的形成经历联系起来的。最后,它衡量了马修斯的作品在通过喜剧提供文化和社会批判形式方面的局限性。

The uncanny place: A critical appraisal of popular paranormal TV shows 神秘的地方:对流行的超自然电视节目的批判性评价

This article examines the construction of the uncanny place in reality paranormal television. Two introductory sequences from the British programme Most Haunted (2002‐present) are analysed that investigate ‘ordinary homes’ to consider the way that place is framed. Using textual analysis, the content of these sequences, including visual, auditory and discursive signifiers, is considered to identify themes where the inversion of the ordinary and the de-stabilizing of homeliness emerged. The use of binary oppositions and representations of liminality are identified as frequent tropes in the production of reality paranormal television. It is argued that these elements frame places as potentially uncanny and invite the viewers to participate in the paranormal possibility of the home. The uncanny, it is concluded, forms an integral part of the narratives that construct reality paranormal programmes and their success at sustaining an engaged and exploratory audience.
这篇文章探讨了现实中超自然电视中神秘之地的构建。分析了英国节目《最闹鬼》(2002年至今)中的两个介绍序列,调查了“普通住宅”,以考虑这个地方的构成方式。使用文本分析,这些序列的内容,包括视觉、听觉和话语能指,被认为是识别普通的倒置和家常的去稳定出现的主题。在现实超自然电视的制作中,使用二元对立和对极限的表示被认为是常见的比喻。有人认为,这些元素将地方框定为潜在的神秘,并邀请观众参与到家的超自然可能性中。结论是,这种不可思议的东西构成了构成现实超自然节目的叙事的一个组成部分,以及它们在维持参与和探索观众方面的成功。

Looking at men: 1980s middlebrow TV and visual culture 看男人:80年代的中庸电视和视觉文化
IF 0.3 Pub Date : 2022-03-01 DOI: 10.1386/jptv_00070_1

This article explores middlebrow culture on early 1980s television and the narrative structures and visual politics employed. The focus lies on Remington Steele (1983‐87) and Magnum, P.I. (1980‐88) as two middlebrow TV series that emphasize the male lead and link in with shifts in the visual culture of the era. Both series function within frameworks of middlebrow TV and visually focus on their male heroes’ bodies. The article analyses the term middlebrow in 1980s television and develops this concept more by exploring narrative structure and what Horace Newcomb has termed the ‘cumulative narrative’. The article then moves on to discuss the visual framing of the male lead as directed by an assumed heterosexual female gaze. In the course of this, it examines the parameters of the televisual image and the conditions that frame objectification on television. Due to the focus on a heterosexual female gaze, middlebrow television becomes strongly linked with women’s culture. This allows for conclusions surrounding the construction of the middlebrow, masculinity and early 1980s television culture. Exploring this cultural politics, and thus revealing a cultural hierarchy, is deemed important here, as it allows for an analysis of the role of nostalgia, both in 1980s and more contemporary television cultures going forward.
本文探讨了20世纪80年代初电视中的中下层文化及其叙事结构和视觉政治。重点在于雷明顿·斯蒂尔(1983 - 87)和马格南,P.I.(1980 - 88)这两部强调男性主导并与时代视觉文化转变联系在一起的中档电视剧。这两部电视剧都是在中庸电视的框架下运作的,在视觉上关注男主角的身体。本文分析了20世纪80年代电视中的“中产阶级”一词,并通过探索叙事结构和Horace Newcomb所说的“累积叙事”来进一步发展这一概念。文章接着讨论了男主角在异性恋女性注视下的视觉框架。在此过程中,它考察了电视图像的参数和在电视上框架物化的条件。由于对异性恋女性凝视的关注,中庸电视与女性文化紧密相连。这使得我们可以围绕中产阶级、男子气概和20世纪80年代早期电视文化的建构得出结论。探索这种文化政治,从而揭示文化等级,在这里被认为是重要的,因为它允许对怀旧的作用进行分析,无论是在20世纪80年代还是更当代的电视文化向前发展。

‘Change the narrative’: The Affair, conceptual evolution and television authorship “改变叙事”:事件、概念演变和电视作者
IF 0.3 Pub Date : 2022-03-01 DOI: 10.1386/jptv_00067_1

This article assesses the narrative developments of the Showtime series The Affair (2014‐19) alongside the production circumstances reported in the media following its conclusion. Through this, it is argued that actor Ruth Wilson’s objections to the direction of her character positively impacted the series, freeing it from the restrictions of its concept and resulting in a more culturally relevant conclusion than could otherwise have been achieved. Sarah Treem’s position as showrunner, and the accusations levelled at her by the reports around Wilson’s departure, are also investigated, asserting the importance of recognizing the other figures that hold responsibility for a multi-season drama’s production environment. Wilson’s influence on the trajectory of the series is used to argue against auteur theory, the assumptions of which are identified as attributing sole blame for Wilson’s objections to Treem. As it remains unusual for the position of drama showrunner to be held by a woman, the potential harm of such auteurist assumptions is made clear by the example of The Affair.
本文评估了Showtime剧集《婚外情》(2014 - 19)的叙事发展,以及其完结后媒体报道的制作情况。通过这一点,我们认为演员Ruth Wilson对她的角色方向的反对对这个系列产生了积极的影响,使它从概念的限制中解放出来,从而产生了一个比其他情况下更具有文化相关性的结论。莎拉·特里姆作为制片人的地位,以及关于威尔逊离职的报道对她的指控,也被调查,强调了认识到其他对多季电视剧的制作环境负有责任的人的重要性。威尔逊对剧集发展轨迹的影响被用来反驳导演理论,该理论的假设被认为是威尔逊反对特里姆的唯一责任。由于女性担任电视剧制作人的职位仍然是不寻常的,这种作者主义假设的潜在危害在《婚外情》的例子中得到了清楚的体现。

The transnationalization of television production has been examined by studies on formats and multinational media companies, which have often highlighted the resilience of the local in the global. This article investigates transnationalization on the micro level of television production, drawing on participant observations in a Dutch production company that is partly owned by an American conglomerate. It explores the deep entanglement of the local with the global in different facets of production – including legal, organizational and market aspects – as manifested in daily practices and decision-making in television production. Our analysis reveals an industrial logic of formatting that is not only induced by transnational ownership structures and business models but also deeply ingrained in production routines and programme conventions. Through this logic, transnationalization shapes media professionals’ daily work, the selection of programme ideas and the process of content development.
对形式和跨国媒体公司的研究审查了电视制作的跨国化,这些研究往往强调了当地在全球的弹性。本文从电视制作的微观层面考察了跨国化,借鉴了参与者对一家由美国企业集团部分拥有的荷兰制作公司的观察。它探讨了当地与全球在生产的不同方面的深刻纠缠-包括法律,组织和市场方面-表现在电视制作的日常实践和决策中。我们的分析揭示了一种工业的格式逻辑,这种逻辑不仅是由跨国所有权结构和商业模式引起的,而且在生产惯例和节目惯例中也根深蒂固。通过这种逻辑,跨国塑造了媒体人的日常工作、节目理念的选择和内容开发的过程。

Netflix, nostalgia and transnational television Netflix,怀旧和跨国电视
IF 0.3 Pub Date : 2021-10-01 DOI: 10.1386/jptv_00058_1
M. Jenner
This article offers an overview of the various kinds of nostalgia Netflix engages with. The focus here is self-produced originals and the way nostalgic elements are used to create different kinds of political outlooks within a transnational television environment. An underlying question is: in what ways can nostalgia be political within the transnational context of Netflix? The article explores this question while giving an overview of nostalgia’s use in different series, such as the culturally regressive politics of The Crown (2016–present), the progressive social justice project of Sex Education (2019–present) and the semiotic (if not political) project in series like Bridgerton (2020–present).
这篇文章概述了Netflix所涉及的各种怀旧。这里的重点是自己制作的原创作品,以及在跨国电视环境中使用怀旧元素来创造不同类型的政治观点的方式。一个潜在的问题是:在Netflix的跨国背景下,怀旧会以何种方式成为政治?本文探讨了这个问题,同时概述了怀旧在不同系列中的使用,例如《王冠》(2016年至今)的文化倒退政治,《性教育》(2019年至今)的进步社会正义项目,以及《布里奇顿》(2020年至今)等系列中的符号学(如果不是政治)项目。

The homesick and the sick home 想家和生病的家

A. Holdsworth
This short article explores the popular property renovation series DIY SOS: The Big Build (2010–present) to examine what it can tell us about the textual, affective and political modes of nostalgia on television. Inverting the homesick at the heart of nostalgia it considers, instead, the idea of the sick home by examining the ways in which the series represents and remedies lives affected by chronic illness and/or disability. The nostalgic promise of The Big Build is of a home to return to in the future and I argue that by placing the programme within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the series reveals a complex dynamic of loss and recuperation and a powerful nostalgic fantasy of community, care and (public service) television.
这篇短文探讨了流行的物业装修系列DIY SOS:大建筑(2010年至今),以研究它可以告诉我们的关于电视怀旧的文本,情感和政治模式。在怀旧的核心,它考虑的是乡愁,相反,通过检查的方式,该系列的表现和补救生活受到慢性疾病和/或残疾的影响,生病的家的想法。《大建筑》的怀旧承诺是未来的家园,我认为,通过将节目置于2019冠状病毒病大流行的背景下,该系列揭示了失去和恢复的复杂动态以及对社区,护理和(公共服务)电视的强大怀旧幻想。

An experiment in space and time: Remaking the missing Doctor Who episode ‘Mission to the Unknown’ 时空实验:《神秘博士》失踪集“未知任务”重拍
IF 0.3 Pub Date : 2021-10-01 DOI: 10.1386/jptv_00060_1
P. Braithwaite
In the 1960s, the majority of Doctor Who (1963–89, 1996, 2005–present) episodes were wiped or lost. Students and staff at the University of Central Lancashire recently took on the challenge of remaking the missing Doctor Who episode ‘Mission to the Unknown’ (1965). The goal was to faithfully recreate the episode in a way that lays a claim to authenticity. This article examines the process and product and asks, with reference to television historiography, whether it achieves its goal of authenticity and what ‘authenticity’ might mean in this context. Ellis and others discuss the estrangement felt when viewing television from earlier decades. This article discusses the ‘feedback loop’ involved in knowing that the episode was made recently whilst assessing it as if it had been made in the past. The estrangement the viewer feels is therefore a sign that the episode is succeeding in its task of staying authentic to its era. But is it possible to completely abandon the knowledge of its contemporary production and lose oneself to the experience of viewing?
在20世纪60年代,《神秘博士》(1963-89年、1996年、2005年至今)的大部分情节都被删除或丢失。中央兰开夏大学的学生和工作人员最近接受了重拍《神秘博士》中失踪的一集《未知任务》(Mission to the Unknown, 1965)的挑战。我们的目标是以一种声称真实的方式忠实地重现这一集。本文考察了这一过程和产物,并以电视史学为参照,询问它是否达到了其真实性的目标,以及在这种背景下“真实性”可能意味着什么。埃利斯和其他人讨论了几十年前看电视时的疏远感。这篇文章讨论的是“反馈循环”,即知道情节是最近制作的,同时将其视为过去制作的。因此,观众感受到的疏离感是一种迹象,表明这一集成功地完成了保持时代真实性的任务。但是,是否有可能完全放弃对其当代生产的认识,将自己迷失在观看的体验中呢?

A woman scientist in pursuit of truth: A rising trend of representation with Chernobyl 一位追求真理的女科学家:切尔诺贝利的代表趋势正在上升

Sky/HBO’s miniseries Chernobyl (2019) tells a human story behind the catastrophic disaster that had begun with an explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Soviet Ukraine on 26 April 1986. Over the course of five one-hour episodes, Chernobyl dramatizes the incidents that paved the way to the massive explosion, such as the Cold War era, the dysfunctional Soviet bureaucracy and the power issues among the male political and scientific establishment. The highlight of the miniseries is female agency being the symbol of scientific approach, rational thought and common sense. This article analyses Chernobyl and the character of a Belarusian nuclear physicist named Ulyana Khomyuk (played by Emily Watson) by focusing on women’s representation on popular television in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. It also questions whether Chernobyl is one of the very few examples in popular culture of changing patterns of women’s representation in STEM.
Sky/HBO的迷你剧《切尔诺贝利》(2019)讲述了1986年4月26日苏联乌克兰切尔诺贝利核电站爆炸引发的灾难性灾难背后的人类故事。在五集一小时的剧集中,《切尔诺贝利》戏剧化地描述了导致大规模爆炸的事件,比如冷战时期、功能失调的苏联官僚机构,以及男性政治和科学机构之间的权力问题。这部迷你剧的亮点是女性代理作为科学方法、理性思维和常识的象征。本文通过关注女性在流行电视节目中在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的表现,分析了切尔诺贝利和白俄罗斯核物理学家乌利亚娜·霍米克(艾米丽·沃森饰演)的性格。它还质疑切尔诺贝利是否是流行文化中为数不多的改变女性在STEM中代表模式的例子之一。

Over the course of five one-hour episodes, Chernobyl dramatizes the incidents that paved the way to the massive explosion, such as the Cold War era, the dysfunctional Soviet bureaucracy and the power issues among the male political and scientific establishment. The highlight of the miniseries is female agency being the symbol of scientific approach, rational thought and common sense.

This introduces the following dossier which, inspired by the roundtable panel ‘Streaming the past: Contemporary television, genre and nostalgia’ from the University of Hertfordshire’s 2021 genre/nostalgia conference, explores contemporary television’s relationship to nostalgia amid multi-platform shifts and the COVID-19 pandemic. While non-linear television has in some ways disrupted linear television’s ties to nostalgia, it has also seen a rise in aesthetically nostalgic programming. The introduction considers how this connects to broader cultural nostalgic trends, themselves fuelled by diversifying media technologies, and complicates meanings traditionally associated with period programming. It explores implications of recycling predominantly western and mediated pasts, and considers how the pandemic has highlighted intersections between linear television, non-linear platforms and differing forms of nostalgia. Finally, it introduces the dossier’s three short essays.
本文介绍了以下档案,该档案的灵感来自赫特福德大学2021年类型/怀旧会议的圆桌小组“流媒体过去:当代电视,类型和怀旧”,探讨了在多平台转变和COVID-19大流行中当代电视与怀旧的关系。虽然非线性电视在某种程度上破坏了线性电视与怀旧的联系,但它也见证了美学怀旧节目的兴起。引言考虑了这与更广泛的文化怀旧趋势之间的联系,这种趋势本身是由多样化的媒体技术推动的,并且使传统上与时代节目相关的含义复杂化。它探讨了以西方为主的、经过调解的过去的循环利用的影响,并考虑了疫情如何突出了线性电视、非线性平台和不同形式的怀旧之间的交集。最后,介绍了该档案的三篇短文。
