Inhaltsangabe

An exciting new strand in The Television Series, the 'Moments in Television' collections celebrate the power and artistry of television, whilst interrogating key critical concepts in television scholarship. Each 'Moments' book is organised around a provocative binary theme. Sound / image reassesses the synergy between televisual images, and sounds and music, as a key creative interaction warranting closer attention. Through close scrutiny of visual and sonic elements, the book's chosen programmes are persuasively illuminated in new ways. The book explores an eclectic range of TV fictions, dramatic and comedic. Contributors from diverse perspectives come together to expand and enrich the kind of close analysis most commonly found in television aesthetics. Sustained, detailed programme analyses are sensitively framed within historical, technological, institutional, cultural, creative and art-historical contexts.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The ‘Moments in Television’ collections celebrate the power and artistry of television and the excitement that particular televisual moments can engender, while simultaneously interrogating current concepts and debates within TV studies.

Each book is organised around a binary theme that engages with key concepts in television studies. Sound / image challenges the hierarchy that prioritises image over sound. It examines the relationships between visual elements and sound and music, exploring their impact on creative and interpretative practices. The book opens up new pathways, reassessing the synergy between sound and image as a key creative interaction that has been neglected within television scholarship. Sustained and sensitive attention to sonic and visual aspects persuasively illuminate the book’s chosen programmes in new ways.

The chapters in Sound / image are inspired by moments drawn from an eclectic range of TV fictions, dramatic and comedic. Contributors from diverse perspectives explore, expand and enrich the kind of close analysis most commonly found in television aesthetics. Each chapter attends to one carefully chosen programme, evoking its particular qualities and appraising its achievements, while situating it within historical, technological, institutional, cultural, creative and art-historical contexts. The programmes examined here are The Twilight Zone, Inspector Morse, Children of the Stones, Dancing on the Edge, Road, Twin Peaks: The Return, Bodyguard, The Walking Dead and Mad Men.

Sound / image is essential reading for those interested in how a keener awareness of sound/image aesthetics can enhance our critical appreciation and enjoyment of television.
