The seminar series draws inspiration from Jeremy Bentham’s notion of the Panopticon and places concepts such as “trauma” or “memory” or “crime” in a central “inspection house” in order to view them from different disciplinary perspectives across the arts and sciences. This year’s seminar series springs from the four SELCS Research Themes – Visual Culture, Trauma, the Book, and Memory – which are designed to bring colleagues together across departments and disciplines, break moulds, get ideas sparking and encourage innovative grant proposals.

“Complex TV”: television drama in the twenty-first century

Start: Mar 25, 2013 12:00:00 AM
End: Jun 5, 2013 12:00:00 AM

In recent years, the television drama series has undergone radical development, both in terms of series-creators’ ambitions for the medium and the levels of expectation of the audience. Episodic storylines have increasingly expanded into season-long arcs, allowing for a far greater subtlety to narratives, which are no longer dependent upon satisfying the casual viewer. Instead changes in distribution – DVD boxsets, online viewing and cable networks such as HBO and AMC – have created a culture in which complexity is increasingly important to TV, impacting upon how one should create and watch a series.
