The Heroic in 21st Century British Television Series: Discourses and Aesthetic Strategies in a Popular Medium (D15 [C04])

该项目将分为两个子项目：a）将使用21世纪英国流行电视连续剧的语料库来揭示和分析英国社会当前英雄主义形象和语义的异质性。B）该项目将以《神秘博士》系列为例，研究自20世纪60年代以来此类形象的变化。在这两个子项目的口音将放在电视文本的解释，这将与文化话语和正式的英雄主义美学方面的考虑。

The project will be broken into two subprojects: a) A corpus of popular 21st-century British television series will be used to bring to light and analyse the heterogeneity of current figurations and semantics of heroism in British society. b) The project will use the example of the series Doctor Who to study changes in such figurations since the 1960s. The accent in both subprojects will be placed on interpretation of the televisual text, which will be examined with cultural discourses and formal aesthetic aspects of heroism in mind.
