nature and impact of alcohol messages in a youth oriented Television Series
Social Science Research Network, 2009Co-Authors: Cristel Antonia Russell, Dale W Russell, Joel W GrubeAbstract:This research contributes to the extant literature on Television influence by pairing a stimulus-side approach documenting how information is presented within a Television Series with a response-side assessment of whether connectedness and exposure to a Series influence the processing of that information differently depending on the format.

alcohol messages in prime time Television Series
Social Science Research Network, 2009Co-Authors: Cristel Antonia Russell, Dale W RussellAbstract:Alcohol messages contained in Television programming serve as sources of information about drinking. To better understand the ways embedded messages about alcohol are communicated, it is crucial to objectively monitor and analyze Television alcohol depictions. This article presents a content analysis of an eight-week sample of eighteen prime-time programs. Alcohol messages were coded based on modalities of presentation, level of plot connection, and valence. The analysis reveals that mixed messages about alcohol often coexist but the ways in which they are presented differ: whereas negative messages are tied to the plot and communicated verbally, positive messages are associated with subtle visual portrayals.

nature and impact of alcohol messages in a youth oriented Television Series
Journal of Advertising, 2009Co-Authors: Cristel Antonia Russell, Dale W Russell, Joel W GrubeAbstract:This research contributes to the extant literature on Television influence by pairing a stimulus-side approach documenting how information is presented within a TV Series with a response-side assessment of whether connectedness and exposure to a Series influence the processing of that information differently depending on its format. The inquiry focuses on the nature and impact of messages about alcohol contained within a youth oriented TV program. The findings indicate that the recall and perception of the more overt negative messages increase with exposure and that receptiveness to the subtle and less remembered positive messages increases with levels of program connectedness. Highly connected viewers are both more receptive to and in greater agreement with the underlying positive alcohol message communicated in the Series.

overcoming the grammar barrier in foreign language learning the role of Television Series
Social Science Research Network, 2018Co-Authors: Deborah Azaryad ShechterAbstract:Mastering the grammar of a foreign language requires learning the rules as well as the contexts within which the structures are used. Formal grammar instruction should therefore be augmented by exposing learners to authentic language. According to the literature, watching Television Series in the target language improves listening comprehension and enhances vocabulary acquisition. No study to date, however, has investigated the recursive use of one Series, in the classroom and over an entire course, to explicitly teach grammar. Presenting apt pedagogical arguments substantiated by the literature on grammar instruction and evidence from the classroom, this article maintains that a Television Series can be an invaluable source of authentic language and an excellent means to teach grammar in context. It recommends using the dialogues in the scenes to teach and illustrate grammatical structures, especially those that are very different or do not exist in the learners’ mother tongue. The article also proposes giving students pertinent writing tasks and adequate corrective feedback to help them internalize these structures. Consistent with recent studies indicating a strong connection between emotion and cognition, this method raises the students’ motivation and enhances grammar learning; as such, it can supplant or complement conventional practices of grammar instruction and thereby warrants empirical studies. Finally, the article delineates directions for future research to elucidate how Television Series contribute to the teaching and learning of grammar.

learning like a toddler watching Television Series to learn vocabulary from images and audio
ACM Multimedia, 2014Co-Authors: Emre Yilmaz, Konstantinos Rematas, Tinne Tuytelaars, Hugo Van HammeAbstract:This paper presents the initial findings of our efforts to build an unsupervised multimodal vocabulary learning scheme in a realistic scenario. For this purpose, a new multimodal dataset, called Musti3D, has been created. The Musti3D database contains episodes from an animation Series for toddlers. Annotated with audiovisual information, this database is used for the investigation of a non-negative matrix factorization (NMF)-based audiovisual learning technique. The performance of the technique, i.e. correctly matching the audio and visual representations of the objects, has been evaluated by gradually reducing the level of supervision starting from the ground truth transcriptions. Moreover, we have performed experiments using different visual representations and time spans for combining the audiovisual information. The preliminary results show the feasibility of the proposed audiovisual learning framework.

fidelity as interseriality the challenges of adapting the quebecois Television Series les invincibles for broadcast in france
Canadian journal of communication, 2016Co-Authors: Heloise Boudon, Katharina NiemeyerAbstract:This article takes a closer look at the processes of transcultural adaptation by focusing on the French-Canadian Television Series Les Invincibles (Radio-Canada, 2005), which was adapted for the French-German cultural channel ARTE in 2010. Based on recent developments in adaptation studies, the authors discuss the question of fidelity as interseriality on two adaptation levels: production process and the diegetic world. Their interest lies in how this example of a multi-faceted, hybrid format impacts upon representations of identities and cultural specificities when it comes to its transcultural adaptation. In-depth, semi-structured, and qualitative interviews with producers and screenwriters are discussed within a content analysis of the episodes as well as a semiotic reflection on aesthetics and narrative aspects. Cet article propose une etude des processus d’adaptation transculturelle en se fondant sur l’analyse de la serie quebecoise Les Invincibles (Radio Canada, 2005), adaptee pour la chaine franco-allemande ARTE en 2010. A l’appui des travaux recents dans les domaine des adaptation studies, nous discutons la question de la fidelite en tant qu’interserialite sur deux niveaux d’adaptation: le processus de production ainsi que l’univers diegetique. Notre analyse porte sur les multiples facettes d’un format hybride et ses repercussions sur les representations des identites et specificites culturelles au moment de son adaptation transculturelle. Des entretiens semi-directifs et qualitatifs approfondis avec les producteurs et scenaristes sont confrontes a une analyse de contenu des episodes ainsi qu’a une reflexion semiotique sur les aspects esthetiques et narratifs.

nostalgia is not what it used to be serial nostalgia and nostalgic Television Series
2014Co-Authors: Katharina Niemeyer, Daniela WentzAbstract:In the last episode of Season One of the Television Series Mad Men (AMC, 2007-), Donald Draper, creative director of Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency, pitches an advertising campaign for Kodak’s new slide projector. Instead of concentrating on its technological newness, as the client wishes, Don emphasises the possibility of a ‘sentimental bond with the product’ and suggests that nostalgia is a powerful way to create this bond. He presents a slide show with photographs from his own family life and names the projector ‘the carousel’, a carousel that ‘lets us travel the way a child travels, round and round, and back home again’. The scene condenses a lot of what the Series is all about: reconstructing and reimagining the past visually, discursively and historically by portraying and referring to the key political, social, economic and aesthetic elements of former times. But, while Mad Men seems to be the paradigmatic example when it comes to the relationship between Television Series and nostalgia, it is by no means alone in dealing so overtly with the subject. In fact, there seems to be a trend towards the nostalgic in modern Television: The Hour (BBC, 2011-), Boardwalk Empire (HBO, 2010-) and Downton Abbey (ITV, 2010-), for instance, are all evidently vintage in atmosphere. Svetlana Boym would call this pre-existent nostalgia ‘prefabricated’ she would say that they obviate creativity for the future (2001, p. 351).
