  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Isnt it Ironic Irony in Contemporary Popular

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis volume addresses the relationship between irony and popular culture and the role of the consumer in determining and disseminating meaning. Arguing that in a cultural climate largely characterised by fractious communications and perilous linguistic exchanges, the very role of irony in popular culture needs to come under greater scrutiny, it focuses on the many uses, abuses, and misunderstandings of irony in contemporary popular culture, and explores the troubling political populism at the heart of many supposedly satirical and (apparently) non-satirical texts. In an environment in which irony is frequently claimed as a defence for material and behaviour judged controversial, how do we, as a society entrenched in forms of popular culture and media, interpret work that is intended as satire but which reads as unironic? How do we accurately decode works of popular film, literature, television, music, and other cultural forms which sell themselves as bitingly ironic commentaries on Table of ContentsIntroduction: Isn’t it Ironic?: Irony in Contemporary Popular Culture 1.

    Book SynopsisThis edited collection is the first book to offer a wide-ranging examination of the interface between American independent film and a converged television landscape that consists of terrestrial broadcasters, cable networks and streaming providers, in which independent film and television intersect in complex, multifaceted and creative ways.The book covers the long history of continuities and connections between the two sectors, as seen in the activities of PBS, HBO or Sundance. It considers the movement of filmmakers between indie film and TV such as Steven Soderbergh, Rian Johnson, the Duplass brothers, Joe Swanberg, Lynn Shelton and Gregg Araki; details the confluence of aesthetic and thematic elements seen in shows such as Girls, Breaking Bad, Master of None, or Glow; points to a shared interest in regional sensibilities evident in shows like One Mississippi or Fargo; and makes the case for documentaries and web series as significaTrade Review"Indie TV is a fascinating and wide-ranging exploration of the interrelationships between media industries. Lyons and Tzioumakis have assembled a formidable group of scholars to make the powerful collective argument that cinema and television are, and always have been, inseparable. The many layers of indie TV revealed within will inspire film and TV historians, as well as those analyzing contemporary digital media and production cultures."Jennifer Holt, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA"When I praised this book to a non-academic friend, he readily and enthusiastically rattled off titles of multi-season and limited-episode series that immediately came to mind as cutting-edge examples of 'indie TV' and its cultural reach and resonance. Clearly, 'indie TV' has public purchase, and this far-ranging anthology, strong equally in conceptualization and industrial and aesthetic analysis, pinpoints why. The volume offers rich examples, sharp and smart insight, and welcome attention to diversity, on-screen and behind, around gender, race, ethnicity."Dana Polan, Cinema Studies, NYU, USATable of ContentsPart 1: Indie Film and Television: Historical Relationships 1.

    Book SynopsisHow can we queerly theorise and understand television? How can the realms of television studies and queer theory be brought together, in a manner beneficial and productive for both? Queer TV: Theories, Histories, Politics is the first book to explore television in all its scope and complexity â its industry, production, texts, audiences, pleasures and politics â in relation to queerness. With contributions from distinguished authors working in film/television studies and the study of gender/sexuality, it offers a unique contribution to both disciplines.An introductory chapter by the editors charts the key debates and issues addressed within the book, followed by three sections, each central to an understanding of the relationships between queerness and television: 'theories and approaches', histories and genres', and 'television itself'. Individual essays examine the relationships between queers, queerness, and television across the multiple sites of productioTrade Review'In examining the complexity of television - more than simply queer television - then the book is well placed in terms of the important contributions it makes to debates about industry, production, audiences and politics' - Times Higher Education Supplement, 6th August 2009 (Reviewer: Tony Purvis, University of Newcastle, UK)Table of ContentsIntroduction: The Pleasures of the Tube Glyn Davis and Gary Needham Part I: Theories and Approaches 1.
