Abstract

"Never before has period drama offered viewers such an assortment of complex male characters, from transported felons and syphilitic detectives to shell shocked soldiers and gangland criminals. Neo-Victorian Gothic fictions like Penny Dreadful represent masculinity at its darkest, Poldark and Outlander have refashioned the romantic hero and anti-heritage series like Peaky Blinders portray masculinity in crisis, at moments when the patriarchy was being bombarded by forces like World War I, the rise of first wave feminism and the breakdown of Empire. Scholars of film, media, literature and history explore the very different types of maleness offered by contemporary television and show how the intersection of class, race, history and masculinity in period dramas has come to hold such broad appeal to twenty-first-century audiences."--

Abstract

"History is a subject we all learn in school, some of us with more enthusiasm than others. But the way most of us know history-experience it, absorb it, apply its lessons to make sense of our everyday lives-is through popular culture. And no medium of popular culture has been more pervasive in offering Americans a vision of their country in the past century than television. Television has played an especially important role in the interpretation-and reinterpretation-of collective memory, which is to say the events that were experienced first- or second-hand but which have since receded into the past. From Memory to History examines the way TV shows of the past fifty years have depicted US society in the last century. The book examines how a series of events in the past hundred years-from the advent of Prohibition to the advent of the Internet-were portrayed in some of the most beloved shows of all time, among them The Waltons, M*A*S*H, and Mad Men. But the book does more than that. It also explains how any given TV show is at least as important a historical artifact of the time it was made as it is the time it depicts. So it is, for example, that we see how That ''70 Show reveals a lot about the 1990s in the process of telling a story about the 1970s. Or How Hogan's Heroes, a (somewhat bizarre, in retrospect) sitcom about a German concentration camp in World War II, almost despite itself, reveals underlying anxieties about Civil Rights and the Vietnam War in its hermetically sealed episodes. Or how The Americans valorizes the outcome of a Cold War that was a good deal more uncertain than it was in the 1980s, when the series is set. Each of the book's seven chapters offers context for a show's setting, the show's interpretive argument in the moment it was made, and how both look from the perspective of the 2020s. Here, truly, is history in three dimensions. Lively, informative, and incisive, From Memory to History will help you look at television, the American Century, and the times in which you are living in an intriguing new light"--

Abstract

"An introduction to the use of feature films, television shows and documentary footage as historical sources through wide-ranging and carefully selected case studies"-- "How, as historians, should we 'read' a film? Histories on Screen answers this and other questions in a crucial volume for any history student keen to master source use. The book begins with a theoretical 'Thinking about Film' section that explores the ways in which films can be analyzed and interrogated as either primary sources, secondary sources or indeed as both. The much larger 'Using Film' segment of the book then offers engaging case studies which put this theory into practice. Topics including gender, class, race, war, propaganda, national identity and memory all receive good coverage in what is an eclectic multi-contributor volume. Documentaries, films and television from Britain and the United States are examined and there is a jargon-free emphasis on the skills and methods needed to analyze films in historical study featuring prominently throughout the text. Histories on Screen is a vital resource for all history students as it enables them to understand film as a source and empowers them with the analytical tools needed to use that knowledge in their own work.

Abstract

Une analyse des représentations filmiques des guerres de Religion, des révolutions anglaises de 1640 et 1689, de la révolte napolitaine, de la Fronde, des camisards et de la Révolution française. Ces expressions, en tant que prise de parole politique et artistique, révèlent un imaginaire social et permettent d'aborder une histoire plus large des représentations : héros, femme, violence, etc. ©Electre 2015 Une douzaine d?historiens français, anglais, irlandais et américains proposent dans cet ouvrage une analyse érudite de représentations filmiques de révoltes et révolutions européennes des XVIe et XVIIIe siècles.

Abstract

Comment la télévision contribue-t-elle à construire notre mémoire de la collaboration ? Une approche originale des enjeux mémoriels liés à la Seconde Guerre mondiale par une auteure récompensée du Prix d’Encouragement de l’Inathèque 2015, à paraître dans la collection Etudes & Controverses de l’Ina.Au-delà de l’analyse d’un genre à succès – la fiction de prime time –, Elsa Marty interroge la construction du rapport d’une société à son passé. De la production à la réception de téléfilms mettant en scène des « collabos », diffusés entre 1987 et 2009, l’ouvrage révèle l’ambition d’une télévision qui veut émouvoir mais aussi faire réfléchir les Français.Figure vilipendée du XXe siècle, symbole de la dimension honteuse des années d’Occupation, le collaborateur incarne l’une des blessures mémorielles de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.Son intervention dans les fictions du petit écran est multiforme : hauts fonctionnaires et grands noms de la collaboration, miliciens ou petites mains de l’administration, femme tondue à la Libération pour s’être compromise avec l’ennemi…Les « collabos » télévisuels endossent une palette de comportements reflétant l’étendue des modes de compromission sous l’Occupation, de la collaboration d’Etat jusqu’aux formes plus individuelles d’accommodation.Si les stéréotypes collent à la peau de ces personnages, les scénaristes, réalisateurs et producteurs ont aussi à cœur de proposer des lectures nuancées et parfois renouvelées de la collaboration. Actualité des procès fortement médiatisés de la seconde épuration, politiques mémorielles et héritages personnels conditionnent la création et la réception de ces œuvres proposées largement diffusées.

Abstract

Since 1952, CBC television has played a unique role as the primary mass media purveyor of Canadian history. Yet until now, there have been no comprehensive accounts of Canadian history on television. Monica MacDonald takes us behind the scenes of the major documentaries and docudramas broadcast on the CBC, including in Explorations (1956–64) and the series Images of Canada (1972–76), The National Dream (1974), The Valour and the Horror (1992), and Canada: A People's History (2000–02). Drawing on a wide range of sources, MacDonald explores how producers struggled to represent the Canadian past under a range of external and internal pressures. Despite dramatic shifts in the writing of history over this period, she determines that television themes and interpretations largely remained the same. The greater change was in the production and presentation, particularly in the role of professional historians, as journalists emerged not only as the new producers of Canadian history on CBC television, but also as the new content authorities. A critique of public history through the lens of political economy, Recasting History reveals the conflicts, compromises, and controversies that have shaped the CBC version of the Canadian past.
