Omschrijving
Investigating the boundaries between media in an age of convergence, Cinematic TV constructs a new model for exploring how contemporary serial dramas quote, copy, and appropriate American cinema.
Cinematic TV meets and exceeds its goal of "developing an expansive framework for analyzing [the relationships between film and serial drama] in ways that are not reductive or evaluative."
Richards provides a good discussion on the history and current status of television, noting that both the first and second golden ages of television ended because of oversaturation of themes and characters ... thoughtful and enlightening.
Rashna Wadia Richards makes such a lively, resourceful, and compelling case for the remarkably complex and varied relations between contemporary television series and the cinema that you may never want to set foot in a movie theater again.
The word 'cinematic' has been widely used to describe post-network dramatic television, and yet until recently, the term has been used with little conceptual rigor. Rashna Richards addresses this problem head-on, developing a sophisticated theory of intertextuality to argue that the cinematic in today's serial dramas operates via (often unintentional) echoes and reverberations from the cinema's archives. Richards then provides nuanced readings of the eruptions of the cinematic in Mad Men, Dear White People, and a number of other series. The cinematic connections she finds are as surprising as they are enlightening.
Rashna Wadia Richards is Associate Professor and T. K. Young Chair of English at Rhodes College. She is the author of Cinematic Flashes: Cinephilia and Classical Hollywood (2013) and co-editor of For the Love of Cinema: Teaching Our Passion in and Outside the Classroom (2017).
