| Description: |
Paying close attention to the complexity of contemporary public engagement with the past across Europe, the authors question the role and value of the past in cultural and societal changes by investigating hos history is re-imagined by the contemporary film and heritage industries. As concerned with government policies and industrial imperatives as it is with the spectators' emotional engagement with the past; the way that film and television can shed light on the relationship between the past, the present, the audience and the screen is explored. Who makes and who watches these productions and how they are consumed in cinemas, on television and online? These are just some of the questions this volume seeks to answer.-- |
| Synopsis: |
This book provides a unique examination of the way Europe's past is represented on contemporary screens and what this says about contemporary cultural attitudes to history. How do historical dramas come to TV and cinema screens across Europe? How is this shaped by the policies and practices of cultural institutions, from media funding boards to tourist agencies and heritage sites? Who watches these productions and how are they consumed in cinemas, on TV and online?, are just some of the questions this volume seeks to answer. From The Lives of Others to Game of Thrones, historical dramas are a particularly visible part of mainstream European film production, often generating major national debates on the role of the past in contemporary national identity construction. |
