Regional Aesthetics: Mapping UK Media Cultures

Edited by Ieuan Franklin, Hugh Chignell and Kristin Skoog (all based at 
Bournemouth University)

Palgrave Macmillan


Regional Aesthetics is about forms of media that have reflected - or 
increased consciousness of - a sense of place or a regional identity. 
From landscape painting in the Romantic era to newspaper coverage of 
devolution, the chapters explore, through contextualized case studies, 
the aesthetics of a wide range of local, regional and grassroots forms 
of media. The collection examines the aesthetic and political dimensions 
of regional representations in film (feature films, amateur film and 
educational film); novels; television (drama, comedy, documentary and 
educational programming); music; radio; and digital media. In mapping UK 
media cultures across the C20th and beyond, this books functions as an 
'academic GPS', designed to introduce and encourage the study of 
regionally located media in the curriculum.
