The New Brazilian Mediascape : Television Production in the Digital Streaming Age
How new media is ushering in a more diverse Brazilian national identityIn this book, Eli Carter explores the ways in which the movement away from historically popular telenovelas toward new television and internet series is creating dramatic shifts in how Brazil imagines itself as a nation, especially within the context of an increasingly connected global mediascape.For more than half a century, South America’s largest over-the-air network, TV Globo, produced long-form melodramatic serials that cultivated the notion of the urban, upper-middle-class white Brazilian.Carter looks at how the expansion of internet access, the popularity of web series, the rise of independent production companies, and new legislation not only challenged TV Globo’s market domination but also began to change the face of Brazil’s growing audiovisual landscape.Combining sociohistorical, economic, and legal contextualization with close readings of audiovisual productions, Carter argues that a fragmented media has opened the door to new voices and narratives that represent a more diverse Brazilian identity. A volume in the series Reframing Media, Technology, and Culture in Latin/o America, edited by Héctor Fernández L’Hoeste and Juan Carlos Rodríguez.

The Age of Television
Having spent most of his career working with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Martin Esslin appraises American TV with the eyes of both a detached outsider and a concerned insider. "American popular culture," writes Esslin, "has become the popular culture of the world at large.American television is thus more than a purely social phenomenon.It fascinates and in some instances frightens the whole world."The Age of Television discusses television as an essentially dramatic form of communication, pointing to the strengths and weaknesses that spring from its character.It explores its impact on generations destined to grow up under its influence, with such questions as how TV turns reality into fiction, and fiction into reality.Esslin considers the long-term effects of television on our abilities to reason, to read, to create.He asks if current programming on American television constitutes what we want and deserve, and asks what we would change, if we could.These are but a handful of the questions Esslin probes in this penetrating analysis of contemporary television and its impact on our lives. In his new introduction, Esslin discusses changes in the media over the last two decades.He explores the increasing number of television stations available, the rise of "boutique" channels concentrating on news, sports, or film, and the relationship between television and other forms of electronic media such as video games and the Internet.Finally, he considers the effect of these developments on our ability to concentrate, our sensitivity to violence, and even our artistic taste.Most compelling of all is his final question: Can the Age of Television, with all its dangers, yet become a golden age of cultural growth?Martin Esslin is professor emeritus of drama at Stanford University.His numerous critical works include: Brecht-The Man and his Work, The Theatre of the Absurd, An Anatomy of Drama, and Artaud.He currently resides in London, England.

The Rainbow Age of Television : An Opinionated History of Queer TV
The ultimate deep dive into the revolution of queer TV With the last decade’s television boom across a multitude of platforms, producing hundreds of network and streaming series, American audiences are being treated to a cascade of shows that some have trumpeted as a second Golden Age.But something completely new is stirring, too—the Rainbow Age.For the first time in the history of American television, we have shows in which LGBTQIA+ characters have evolved from being an anomaly to being an almost given and celebrated presence on the small screen.But what more can queer TV do? Is each new queer character really breaking ground? And has the curse of the fictional dead lesbian finally been defeated?The Rainbow Age of Television tackles these questions and more as author Shayna Maci Warner tracks the history and evolution of LGBTQIA+ icons across the televised ages and into the future of streaming—from the very first televised queer kiss (we think) to the shows that are making household names and heroes of queer characters today.Warner uses original interviews with queer TV icons such as Lilly Wachowski and Stephanie Beatriz along with detailed history to investigate the constraints under which queer people have been allowed to exist on American television.Surveying seventy-plus years of broadcasts, The Rainbow Age of Television explores why queer people are so invested in—and conflicted by—the kinds of storytelling that TV has to offer.Above all, it’s a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ shows, their characters, and their creators that define this new age in television.

The Jazz Age : An Entertainment
If you can imagine William Blake playing Scrabble with Joni Mitchell, Catherine of Aragon booking into the Holiday Inn, or Cassius Clay meeting the apostle Paul on the road to Damascus, you're ready for the dreamworld created by Aidan Semmens in The Jazz Age.After five books of intense - some would say difficult - poetry, he has produced something more accessible, surprising, and fun.In a series of prose vignettes he casts an array of historical figures into times and places other than their own, playing on anachronism and dislocation to surreal, witty, frequently comic, occasionally poignant or disturbing effect.Each brief episode is crystalline, the whole piece theatrical, enjoyably absurd.You might identify a questioning of belief systems, of social hierarchy, of human individuality and inter-relationship - but essentially this is, as it is billed, entertainment.
