{"product_id":"television-and-repetition","title":"Television And Repetition","description":"\u003cp\u003eResisting some of the negative connotations that repetition can attract, this book illustrates how it has been used as a catalyst for creative expression across a range of television genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivided into two parts, the first three chapters contextualise repetition within related media and critical debates, before locating it as an important facet of television that is worth exploring in detail. The final three chapters discuss specific television shows that incorporate repetition creatively within their narrative structure and aesthetic composition, ranging from \u003cem\u003eThe Royle Family\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem\u003eI May Destroy You\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThis is Going to Hurt\u003c\/em\u003e. In each case, James Walters argues that repetition emerges as crucial to the expression of key themes and ideas, thus becoming a structural and compositional element itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring the ways in which repetition has featured in the work of figures such as Umberto Eco, Raymond Bellour and Bruce Kawin, and has influenced the approaches of television scholars like Raymond Williams, Roger Silverstone and John Ellis, this book is essential reading for scholars and students of film, television and media studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57198562738558,"sku":"NW9781032207988","price":20.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781032207988.jpg?v=1778532558","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/television-and-repetition","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
