> Call for Papers: TV Formats and format research
> ======================================
>
> 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.
