Appel à contributions revue View Journal "TV Formats and Format Research"

Date limite : 1er septembre 2015

This special issue of VIEW seeks to build on the existing format scholarship and deepen our understanding of the history and the continuing growth of the TV Format business from a European perspective. During the last 15 years format research has grown into a notable, distinct field of academic investigation alongside the dramatic expansion of the trade in TV formats. Format research attempts to :

• Historicise the TV format business ; • Theorise formats and their audiences ; • Uncover business practices and rationales ; • Understand the resulting transformations in the patterns and flows of international programme trade ; • Illuminate localisation practice ; • Reveal and contextualise the particularities of specific local adaptations ; • Understand the implications of format imports for local production.

We seek contributions that can advance our theoretical and methodological approaches to television formats, address the latest trends in TV formatting, and/or fill other gaps in format scholarship. We welcome contributions in the form of either short articles (2000-4500 words) or video and audio essays.

Theory, methodology, history and new developments

Proposals are invited on (but not limited to) :

• Production and/or distribution patterns and trends of TV formats developed in or imported into Europe ; • Historical cases of successful and/or failed attempts of selling formats out of or into Europe ; • Significant European TV format players (national or multinational production and/or distribution companies) ; • National or European policies that address TV formats in relation to quotas ; • Transnational cultures relating to TV formats (e.g. shared cultures of television production and/or distribution, television aesthetics, or viewing cultures) ; • The impact of formatting television on programme flows, local production, genre development, scheduling and/or modes of television consumption and reception ; • Video and audio essays presenting primary sources (e.g. oral interviews, audio-visual material) or other ways of exploring TV formats in Europe.
