As our world becomes more globalized, documentary film and
television tell more cosmopolitan stories of the world's social,
political, and cultural situation. Ib Bondebjerg examines how
global challenges are reflected and represented in documentaries
from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia after
2001. The documentaries deal with the war on terror, the
globalization of politics, migration, the multicultural challenge,
and climate change.
"Engaging with Reality" is framed by theories of globalization and
delves into the development of a new global media culture. It also
deals with theories of documentary genres and their social and
cultural functions. It discusses cosmopolitanism and the role and
forms of documentary in a new digital and global media culture. It
will be essential reading for those looking to better understand
documentary and the new transnational approach to modern media
culture.
Following the two previous volumes in this series of practitioner
interviews with Danish directors, "Danish Directors 3" focuses on
Danish documentary cinema. Although many of the directors
interviewed here have ventured successfully into the terrain of
fiction, their main contributions to the thriving post-80s milieu
lie in the interconnected areas of documentary film and television.
Emphasizing the new documentary cinema, this book features
filmmakers who belong to the generation born in the 1970s. Many of
the interviewees were trained at the National Film School of
Denmark's now legendary Department of Documentary and Television.
The term "new" also captures tendencies that cut across the work of
the filmmakers. For example, for the generation in question,
internationalization and the development of a new digital media
culture are inevitable aspects of everyday life, and, indeed, of
the professional environments in which they operate. A
comprehensive overview of documentary directors currently working
in Denmark, this is the only book of its kind about this growing
area of Danish cinema.
We are witnessing a dynamic reshaping of the European 'mediascape'.
This has been underway for more than a decade since the fall of the
Berlin wall in 1989, the growing impact of globalisation, and the
birth of new technologies and new media, or the convergence between
old and new media. A new and more intense 'mediatisation' of
society and everyday life is emerging. This is happening alongside
the rapid reconstruction of the cultural and economic landscape of
Europe itself. In this transformation the communicative and
ideological dimensions, the digitalisation of technology, and
changes in culture - 'the imaginary', the discursive universe of
politics and communication, are all crucial areas for research. The
cultural industries, (film, television, books, magazines,
entertainment and music), but also the world of news, actuality,
'infotainment' and the internet, are key areas for the study of
what we may begin to understand as a changing European culture in
all its complexity and with all its differences and conflicts. The
media and the cultural industries are among the fastest growing
sectors in the global economy.
This book offers a comparative study of historical television
genres in Europe, with a special focus on Germany and Great Britain
and their way of narrating twentieth century European history. The
book analyses our common European past and memory through central
historical television narratives. Each chapter looks at how
historical TV genres, fictional and documentary, have dealt with
the most salient and defining periods, events and changes in the
twentieth century- an age of extremes. Bondebjerg offers unique
theoretical and analytical insight into the role of television in
mediating and shaping the past. The book explores television's
creation of transnational cultural encounters across Europe in
relation to our common and national past. The book addresses how
television has influenced our understanding of history, collective
memory and public debate over the twentieth century. It is
fundamentally a book about the importance of the past in present
day Europe and the centrality of media for transnational
understanding.
This book deals with the role of television drama in Europe as
enabler of transnational, cultural encounters for audiences and the
creative community. It demonstrates that the diversity of national
cultures is a challenge for European TV drama but also a potential
richness and source of creative variation. Based on data on the
production, distribution and reception of recent TV drama from
several European countries, the book presents a new picture of the
transnational European television culture. The authors analyse main
tendencies in television policy and challenges for national
broadcasters coming from new global streaming services. Comparing
cases of historical, contemporary and crime drama from several
countries, this study shows the importance of creative
co-production and transnational mediated cultural encounters
between national cultures of Europe.
This book offers comparative studies of the production, content,
distribution and reception of film and television drama in Europe.
The collection brings together scholars from the humanities and
social sciences to focus on how new developments are shaped by
national and European policies and practices, and on the role of
film and television in our everyday lives. The chapters explore key
trends in transnational European film and television fiction,
addressing issues of co-production and collaboration, and of how
cultural products circulate across national borders. The chapters
investigate how watching film and television from neighbouring
countries can be regarded as a special kind of cultural encounter
with the possibility of facilitating reflections on national
differences within Europe and negotiations of what characterizes a
national or a European identity respectively.

Profiling the canonized figures alongside recently-established
filmmakers, this collection features interviews with Lars von
Trier, Soren Kragh-Jacobsen, Thomas Vinterberg and Henning Carlsen
among many others. It poses questions that engage with ongoing and
controversial issues within film studies, which will stimulate
debate in academic and filmgoing circles alike. Each interview is
preceded by a photograph of the director, biographical information,
and a filmography. Frame enlargements are used throughout to help
clarify particular points of discussion and the book as a whole is
contextualised by an informative general introduction. A valuable
addition to the growing library of books on Scandinavian film,
national cinema and minority cinema.
Media, Democracy and European Culture presents some of the most
recent, cutting edge research on Europe, from social, political and
cultural perspectives, equally focusing on each dimension of
democracy in Europe. The role of the media, communication policy
and the question of how the media report on Europe runs as a thread
through all contributions. The book is interdisciplinary and
international. It brings together researchers from many countries
and from humanities, social sciences and law. The articles combine
the discussion of central theories and theoretical concepts for the
understanding of media, democracy and European culture with
empirical data and comparative analytical studies of media culture
and democracy across Europe. The book is written by some of the
most prominent European Scholars in media, political science,
sociology and cultural studies.
