Online Programming Realities : A Case Study of House of Cards and the Perceived Advantages Over Traditional Television

Hill, Rebecca January 2014 (has links)
The choice of content and number of technologies that audiences view television with are increasingly expanding in the post-network era, leading those who use the medium to question its definition. In the wake of the Internet, online programming and streaming technologies, the death of television is frequently forecast.  Netflix’s 2013 release of their original online production House of Cards prompted popular media and trade journals alike to declare a revolution of television that would result in a paradigm shift of current production and viewing practices. House of Cards is esteemed for its distribution method and asserted advantages over traditional television by creators and executives surrounding the show, which calls for an examination of the specific practices that are dubbed ‘innovative’, as current television production practices have been put in place for years. The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the claims surrounding the series through production and textual analysis. Second-hand sources are used to gather evidentiary claims surrounding the production, and analyzed using historical poetics analysis with Jason Mittell’s complex television definitions in order to make comparisons of particular elements of the creation, production and distribution of House of Cards. Making these areas its starting point, this inquiry provokes larger questions of the future of online television programming in general, and its role in the death of television in particular.

La proposta discursiva del serial català sobre temes d'interès social. Estudi de cas: el cor de la ciutat ( Televisió de Catalunya, 2000-2009)

Gómez Puertas, Lorena 10 December 2010 (has links)
Des dels Estudis Culturals Consensuals on la televisió s'entén com a fòrum aquesta tesi doctoral estudia l'aportació del serial de Televisió de Catalunya a la construcció social de la realitat i el seu potencial com a institució intermèdia per a la negociació i objectivació social del sentit. L'objectiu de la investigació consisteix en entendre quines són les estratègies sobre les que el serial estudi de cas, El cor de la ciutat (2000-2009), proposa l'organització de l'experiència de la vida quotidiana en relació a qüestions que prèviament defineix com a temes i problemes socials rellevants per a l'individu al que adreça la seva acció comunicativa. La combinació de tècniques d'anàlisi textual i de contingut per l'estudi de l'agenda permet detectar les lògiques d'introducció i plantejament de determinats temes d'interès social i analitzar comparativament els marcs interpretatius i les estratègies discursives emprades segons es tracti de valors socials compartits, transgredits o contraposats. / Desde los Estudios Culturales Consensuales donde se define la televisión como foro esta tesis doctoral estudia la aportación del serial de Televisió de Catalunya a la construcción social de la realidad y su potencial como institución intermedia para la negociación y objetivación social del sentido. El objetivo de la investigación consiste en entender cuáles son las estrategias del serial estudio de caso, El cor de la ciutat (2000-2009), para proponer la organización de la experiencia de la vida cotidiana en relación a las cuestiones que previamente define como temas y problemas sociales relevantes para el individuo al que dirige su acción comunicativa. La combinación de técnicas de análisis textual y de contenido para estudiar la agenda permite detectar las lógicas de introducción y planteamiento de determinados temas de interés social, y analizar comparativamente los marcos interpretativos y las estrategias discursivas desarrolladas según se planteen valores sociales compartidos, transgredidos o contrapuestos. / From consensual perspective of Cultural Studies, considering television as a forum, this doctoral dissertation analyses the contribution of the longest serial of Televisió de Catalunya to the social construction of reality and its potential as intermediate institution for the social negotiation and objectivation of sense. The main objective of this research is to understand which are the strategies developed by El cor de la ciutat (2000-2009) to propose the organization of everyday experience in relation to questions that previously has defined as social issues and social problems, as part of the communicative action that Catalan television addressed to their viewers. A methodology combining textual analysis and content analysis techniques for studying agenda enables us to identify the logics for the introduction and approach of certain social issues and to examine, in a comparative framing and discourse analysis, which are the strategies implemented depending on values' dynamics (shared, transgressed or confronted).
