Game Of Thrones

The paper is focused on stylistic features of English fantasy texts. The research materials include four fantasy novels written by British and American authors of the late 20th century: Jordan’s The Eye of the World, Martin’s A Game of Thrones, Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The research question of the study lies in need to systematize expressive means and stylistic devices used in the texts and distinguish the common stylistic features of English fantasy texts. To do this, the researchers implement the notion of a stylistic portrait of English fantasy text, and the main aim of the paper is to provide its definition and description. The study employed the complex of linguistic research methods, including analysis and generalization of theoretical sources, contextual analysis and the elements of quantitative analysis of linguistic units used in the texts. Based on three essential aspects of a stylistic portrait, the paper shows that the English fantasy texts are characterized by the dominance of expressive means and stylistic devices at the syntactic level of language. In addition, the researchers identified the most productive stylistically marked linguistic units at each level of language correlated with the semantic field within which they functioned, and studied connotative dominants in these texts.

Objetivamos, neste artigo, analisar, utilizando principalmente categorias da Gramática do Design Visual (GDV), o fenômeno do dialogismo que ocorre entre episódios do seriado televisivo Breaking Bad (2008-2013) e o filme Pulp Fiction (1994), de modo a evidenciar as semelhanças na construção estética dos planos em ambas as produções audiovisuais. Para isso, analisamos fotogramas retirados de cenas da série e do filme supracitados, comparando o dialogismo presente em aspectos como enquadramento, estruturação, saliência, além da composição estilística, como o ponto de vista, ângulos de câmera, entre outros. Como resultados, evidenciamos que Breaking Bad faz referências, em alguns episódios, às cenas do filme Pulp Fiction, que foi produzido antes da narrativa seriada.

This chapter focuses on the types of transformations that transmedia applications cause on the narrative structure of motion pictures and television series. Since different methods are used to construct the story as a transmedia narrative in different films or series, as many works as possible are included in the study to make more accurate determinations. In this context, examples of Star Trek, The Godfather, The Matrix, Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Shrek, Madagascar, Lost, Game of Thrones, Medcezir, and Vatanım Sensin have been examined in terms of their narrative structure. In these works, the condition of the parts constituting the story universe compared to the main narrative, the elements that enable the construction of new narratives related to the main narrative in different media, fictionalization of the elements such as story lines, characters, spaces, atmosphere, and sound, the methods that are used for the transition among stories, etc. have been examined.

This book explores a basic paradox about fiction: Whether the fiction in question is a book, film, or television show, fiction is simultaneously unreal and real. Fiction is a simulation of our real social lives. As such, watching a film or television show or reading a book gives people an opportunity to think about who they are, what they value, who they’re connected to, and what really matters to them. Whether they consider themselves a fan of the entire Harry Potter series or they just remember the moment in the story when Harry stood up to his nemesis, people can derive inspiration from a compelling character making choices and facing consequences. Whether they love Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, or another title, when people get lost in a story, they can find themselves.

Serien erleben seit einiger Zeit ein enormes Revival und begeistern international ein Millionenpublikum. Populäre Serien faszinieren aber nicht nur durch Schauspielkunst und spannende Geschichten; sie haben auch eine unbewusste Tiefendimension, die für ihre Zuschauer*innen eine psychische und psychosoziale Bedeutung hat. So dienen sie nicht nur der schnöden Unterhaltung, sondern auch der Verarbeitung persönlicher und kultureller Ängste und Hoffnungen. Indem sie Psychoanalyse mit Medien- und Kulturwissenschaft verbinden, ermöglichen die Beiträger*innen in ihren Interpretationen einen Blick auf das Unbewusste der Serien und ihres Publikums. Auf diese Art betrachtet werden Game of Thrones, Babylon Berlin, Breaking Bad, The Simpsons, Ally McBeal, King of Queens, Fauda, The Deuce, Chernobyl, Akte X, True Detective, Stranger Things, Sherlock, The Office und Gilmore Girls.

En estas últimas semanas han sido diversos los anuncios relativos a la revitalización de franquicias clave de la cultura popular contemporánea. Así, Crepúsculo, Harry Potter, Breaking Bad, Star Wars, Twin Peaks e incluso Mad Max han sido objeto de noticias o adelantos sobre su inminente futuro, para deleite de sus seguidores. En los casos de más larga trayetoria, algunos de sus fans se han dedicado desde hace tiempo a la creación de sus propias historias y en la actualidad se llega incluso hablar de la batalla por el control de los “universos expandidos”. Y yo no puedo dejar de hacerme una pregunta: ¿de verdad queremos “saberlo todo”?

Men I

Moderne mediekultur er i vid udstrækning serialiseret kultur. Serialisering – udgivelsen af fortællinger i mindre bidder – forbindes ofte med Viktoriatidens føljetonkultur eller med det 20. århundredes populærkultur, men i de seneste årtier er serieformatet blevet mere udbredt end nogensinde før. En stor andel af tidens fremherskende kulturprodukter, fra J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter-bøger, Karl Ove Knausgårds erindringsværk Min Kamp og Elena Ferrantes Napoli-romaner, over blockbusterfilm som Star Wars og kritikerroste tv-serier som Breaking Bad, til serielle computerspil og tegneserier samt nye digitalt distribuerede fænomener som podcastserien Serial og den norske web-serie Skam, trækker alle på forskellig vis på det serielle format. I det aktuelle udgivelseslandskab er serialisering dermed så udbredt, at den på det nærmeste bliver usynlig, men med dette temanummer af Passage kaster vi nyt lys over fænomenet. Vi undersøger serialisering som en kulturel praksis, der bevæger sig på tværs af genrer, medier og historiske perioder, og som udvikler sig i et hidtil underbelyst krydsfelt mellem økonomiske, mediemæssige og kunstneriske hensyn.
