[ecrea] New Book on European Docudrama

Tobias Ebbrecht-Hartmann, Derek Paget (eds)

*Docudrama on European Television: A Selective Survey*


This book explores docudrama as a creative response to troubled times. 
With generic characteristics formed via traditions in theatre as well as 
film, and with claims to fact underscored by investigative journalism, 
television docudrama examines key events and personalities in unfolding 
national histories. Post-Fall of the Berlin Wall, docudrama has become a 
means for nations to work through traumatic experiences both within 
national borders and Europe-wide. In this regard, it is an important 
genre for television networks as they attempt to make sense of complex 
current events. These authors offer a template for further study and 
point towards ways in which European television cultures, beyond those 
discussed here, might be considered in the future.

Bergström and David Rolinson
