*Landscapes in Television Drama Series*

International research colloquium.

Aarhus University, 28-29 September 2017

In contrast to film and literature, cinematic geography and landscapes

in television drama series is a fairly new and emerging research field.

Many recent television drama series include a significant use of places

and landscapes including panorama aesthetics, cityscapes, snowscapes and

seascapes. This tendency is related to new aesthetic standards for

television drama series in general, new screen technologies, location as

production value, and a general fascination and commodification of

places and landscapes in global consumer cultures. Furthermore, to

understand the aesthetic, cultural, political and economic aspects of

cinematic landscapes in television drama, we need to develop

perspectives across disciplines such as geography, art history, media

and creative industries.

We are happy to invite researchers to join us for this event where we

gather international leading scholars within the field. And - Thursday

night we will have (terroir) beer tasting :-).
