Breaking Borders: The International Success of Danish Television Drama

Abstract: ‘Stories and images are among the principal means by which human society has always transmitted its values and beliefs, from generation to generation and community to community’ (Puttnam 1994: 357). These words by David Puttnam point to why TV drama and film matters. Through stories and images we experience and reflect on both contemporary reality and the past. Audiovisual narratives are powerful means to influence and develop our social imaginary, our ability to understand not just ourselves but also others. Behind both national and EU support for the audiovisual industries there is the belief that Europeans will only experience being European if they can imagine life across Europe, and that one of the key means of doing that is through encountering their European others on European screens. Behind the statutes and paragraphs of European programmes for cultural support lies the idea that our common, European heritage is also about constantly reflecting on or meeting with the past and the present through stories. Stories must be based on and result in cultural interaction, expressing and challenging the fundamental values, beliefs, forms of knowledge and experience and the traditions that are formed by the highly diverse cultural and social history of Europe (Council of Europe 2005).

Documentary and Cognitive Theory: Narrative, Emotion and Memory

Abstract: This article deals with the benefits of using cognitive theory in documentary film studies. The article outlines general aspects of cognitive theory in humanities and social science, however the main focus is on the role of narrative, visual style and emotional dimensions of different types of documentaries. Dealing with cognitive theories of film and media and with memory studies, the article analyses how a cognitive approach to documentaries can increase our understanding of how documentaries influence us on a cognitive and emotional level and contribute to the forming of our social and cultural imagination. The article analyses case studies of documentaries dealing with climate change and the environment and documentaries dealing with social history.

No sense of place : the impact of electronic media on socialbehavior

Abstract: How have changes in media affected our everyday experience, behavior, and sense of identity? Such questions have generated endless arguments and speculations, but no thinker has addressed the issue with such force and originality as Joshua Meyrowitz in No Sense of Place. Advancing a daring and sophisticated theory, Meyrowitz shows how television and other electronic media have created new social situations that are no longer shaped by where we are or who is "with" us. While other media experts have limited the debate to message content, Meyrowitz focuses on the ways in which changes in media rearrange "who knows what about whom" and "who knows what compared to whom," making it impossible for us to behave with each other in traditional ways. No Sense of Place explains how the electronic landscape has encouraged the development of: -More adultlike children and more childlike adults; -More career-oriented women and more family-oriented men; and -Leaders who try to act more like the "person next door" and real neighbors who want to have a greater say in local, national, and international affairs. The dramatic changes fostered by electronic media, notes Meyrowitz, are neither entirely good nor entirely bad. In some ways, we are returning to older, pre-literate forms of social behavior, becoming "hunters and gatherers of an information age." In other ways, we are rushing forward into a new social world. New media have helped to liberate many people from restrictive, place-defined roles, but the resulting heightened expectations have also led to new social tensions and frustrations. Once taken-for-granted behaviors are now subject to constant debate and negotiation. The book richly explicates the quadruple pun in its title: Changes in media transform how we sense information and how we make sense of our physical and social places in the world.

The mediatization of society. A theory of the media as agents of social and cultural change

Abstract: Using mediatization as the key concept, this article presents a theory of the influence media exert on society and culture. After reviewing existing discussions of mediatization by Krotz (2007), Schulz (2004), Thompson (1995), and others, an institutional approach to the mediatization process is suggested. Mediatization is to be considered a double-sided process of high modernity in which the media on the one hand emerge as an independent institution with a logic of its own that other social institutions have to accommodate to. On the other hand, media simultaneously become an integrated part of other institutions like politics, work, family, and religion as more and more of these institutional activities are performed through both interactive and mass media. The logic of the media refers to the institutional and technological modus operandi of the media, including the ways in which media distribute material and symbolic resources and make use of formal and informal rules.
