This ambitious volume, the first in English on the subject, provides a much-needed corrective in the form of penetrating essays on the distinctive theories, practices, and social-historical contexts that have defined television in Germany. Encompassing developments from the dawn of the medium through the Cold War and post-reunification, this is an essential introduction to a rich and varied media tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This collection of essays is the first of its kind in English … this volume offers well-researched, in-depth reflection on the subject of German television ranging from historical overview to case study and spanning the history of West and East Germany, the key relationship between film and television, and the transnational dimensions of programming, technology and audience.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e· Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eLarson Powell and Robert Shandley\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART I: TECHNICAL PREHISTORY AND THEORETICAL APPROACHES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Contingencies and Ruptures in the Technological History of Television\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eWolfgang Hagen\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Boredom, War and Paradox: German Theories of Television\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eLarson Powell\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART II: GDR TELEVISION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e ‘Just Like in the West, Except Different:’ Television and its Relationship to Film in the Context of 1950s GDR Development\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eThomas Beutelschmidt\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Adventures in Stagnation: Gottfried Kolditz’s Unfilmed Project \u003cem\u003eZimtpiraten\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eEvan Torner\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART III: TELEVISION IN THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC: AUTEURIST TV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e “A challenge, maybe the greatest for a filmmaker”: Televisual Perspectives on Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s \u003cem\u003eMartha\u003c\/em\u003e (1974)\u003cbr\u003e \tBrad Prager\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nah am Fern: Kluge TV\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eStefanie Harris\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART IV: PRESENT AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e  Television History in Germany: Media-Political and Media-Ethical Aspects  \u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eRüdiger Steinmetz\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany as TV Show Import Market\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eLothar Mikos\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e Heritage, \u003cem\u003eHeimat\u003c\/em\u003e, and German Historical ‘Event Television’: Nico Hofmann’s teamWorx\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePaul Cooke\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/strong\u003e Once Upon a Crime: Tatort, Germany’s Longest Running Police Procedural\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBärbel Göbel-Stolz\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042352955735,"sku":"9781785331121","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781785331121.jpg?v=1750953986","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/german-television-historical-and-theoretical-perspectives-9781785331121","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
