        Beyond representation

        Television drama and the politics and aesthetics of identity

        by Geraldine Harris

        Beyond representation poses the question as to whether over the last thirty years there have been signs of 'progress' or 'progressiveness' in the representation of 'marginalised' or subaltern identity categories within television drama in Britain and the US. In doing so, it interrogates some of the key assumptions concerning the relationship between aesthetics and the politics of identity that have influenced and informed television drama criticism during this period. This book can function as an introduction because it provides students with a clear and coherent pathway through complex, wide-reaching and highly influential interdisciplinary terrain. Chapters examine ideas circling around politics and aesthetics, which emerge from such theories as Marxist-socialism and postmodernism, feminism and postmodern feminism, anti-racism and postcolonialism, queer theory and theories of globalisation, and evaluates their impact on television criticism and on television as an institution. These discussions are consolidated through a number of case studies that offer analyses of a range of television drama texts including Ally McBeal, Supply and Demand, The Bill, Second Generation, Star Trek: Enterprise, Queer as Folk, Metrosexuality and The Murder of Stephen Lawrence.

        Aesthetic Theory and the Video Game

        by Graeme Kirkpatrick

        This book draws on aesthetic theory, including ideas from the history of painting, music and dance, to offer a fresh perspective on the video game as a popular cultural form. It argues that games like Grand Theft Auto and Elektroplankton are aesthetic objects that appeal to players because they offer an experience of form, as this idea was understood by philosophers like Immanuel Kant and Theodor Adorno. Video games are awkward objects that have defied efforts to categorise them within established academic disciplines and intellectual frameworks. Yet no one can deny their importance in re-configuring contemporary culture and their influence can be seen in contemporary film, television, literature, music, dance and advertising. This book argues that their very awkwardness should form the starting point for a proper analysis of what games are and the reasons for their popularity. This book will appeal to anyone with a serious interest in the increasingly playful character of contemporary capitalist culture. ;

        Post-pornography

        Aesthetics and Communication in the viral age

        by Julio Pérez Manzanares

        We currently live in an entirely pornographic society. One just needs to switch on the TV and  watch the news, or a sensationalist program to  come across explicit images, impudent behavior or the use of obscene language, referring to the actions of any current criminal or politician. Thus, pornography has abandoned that closed, intimate, almost censored space, and has gravitated to all areas of daily life.In this book, the author shows how pornography is inserted in our everyday life; and for this reason, chooses to speak of post-pornography, to approach, precisely, that moment in which the pornographic language has abandoned its niche to occupy and redirect communication in the public arena.
