O knihe

“This wide-ranging collection centers on analysis and reflection about the cultural and political significance of place-making. It demonstrates the importance of analysing sites of production and how the growing use of place-making in drama production risks disrupting the authentic identity of a place by turning it into a commodity. This excellent work is a book that we greatly needed.”

– Milly Buonanno, former Professor of Television Studies, La Sapienza University of Roma, author of The Age of Television: Experiences and Theories

“The Politics of Place thoroughly demonstrates the ongoing and growing importance of locality for the production and distribution of film and television in Europe. The book’s editors have assembled a range of geographically and methodologically diverse chapters that collectively combine theoretical meditations on space and place with detailed national and regional case studies."

Christopher Meir, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, author of Mass Producing European Cinema: Studiocanal and Its Works and co-editor of European Cinema in the Streaming Era

This open access book focuses, for the first time, on the ways in which film and television industries have shaped and been shaped by the places in which they are situated across Europe, from Greenland to Romania. Its thirteen chapters analyse contrasting examples but all focus on issues of identity, creative labour, representation, regulation, and the politics of location and production. They show the impact of globalisation and digitisation – via streaming platforms such as Netflix – but also through national public service broadcasters such as the BBC. An extended Introduction sets out the major theoretical questions of place and space in the European context. The conclusion reflects on what the chapters demonstrate about the continued centrality of place to the film and television industries.
