Beschreibung
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 is a timely and wide-reaching study on changing and developing relations in the production and consumption of drama from different European countries. The book offers new data for an international comparison of TV drama consumption, as well as detailed analyses of media policy and production cultures. A particular strength is the cumulation of much of this data into three concluding chapter which offer a comparative view onto the production and reception of contemporary, crime and historical drama respectively.” (Elke Weissmann, Reader in Television and Film, Edge Hill University, UK)
