Russian TV Series in the Era of Transition: Genres, Technologies, Identities - Paperback

by Alexander Prokhorov (Editor), Elena Prokhorova (Editor), Rimgaila Salys (Editor)

Russian TV Series in the Era of Transition examines contemporary Russian television genres in the age of transition from broadcast to post-broadcast television. Focusing on critical debates and the most significant TV series of the past two decades, the volume's contributors--the leading US and European scholars studying Russian television, as well as the leading Russian TV producers and directors--focus on three major issues: Russian television's transition to digital post-broadcast economy, which redefined the media environment; Russian television's integration into global television markets and their genre systems; and major changes in the representation of gender and sexuality on Russian television.
