Описание: The 21st century is a good time to be Sherlock Holmes. He stars in the recent Guy Ritchie films, with Robert Downey, Jr., playing the great detective; an internationally popular BBC television series, featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock; a novel sanctioned by the Arthur Conan Doyle Estate; and dozens of additional novels and short stories, including two by Neil Gaiman. Add to this video games, comic books, and fan-created works, plus a potent Internet and social media presence. Holmes' London has even become a prime destination for cinematic tourists. The evidence is clearly laid out in this collection of 14 new essays: Holmes and Watson are more popular than ever. Why we continue to be fascinated with them is the overall topic. The genius detective has been portrayed as hero as well as antihero. Adaptations describe him as tech savvy, scientifically detached, even psychologically aberrant; he has been romantically linked to The Woman and bromantically to Watson. Whether Victorian or modern, he continues to intrigue us. These essays analyze Sherlock Holmes as a cultural icon and explain why he is destined to be a beloved if controversial character for years to come.

Описание: Television has historically been largely ineffective at representing queerness in its various forms. In the 21st century, however, as a broader range of queer characters has appeared in the media, it seems natural to assume TV portrayals of queerness have become more enlightened. But have they? This collection of fresh essays analyses queerness as depicted on TV from 2000 to the present.

Описание: Launched in 1977 by the Christian Broadcasting Service, the network originally associated with Pat Robertson has gone through many changes in ownership and title. Its most recent incarnations, ABC Family (2001-2016) and Freeform (2016-present), feature a unique mixture of programming that over the past decade has taken significant risks to become one of the leading cable channels with its targeted demographic of 14-34 year-olds. Through a carefully selected group of essays, we examine this important television channel from a variety of perspectives.ABC Family/Freeform has encouraged intriguing marketing projects, utilizing social media to increase viewership and further monetize their programming. The network has boldly addressed topical issues including lesbian and gay parenting, postfeminism and changing perceptions of women, the complicated position of race in the United States, and the status of disability in American culture. Embracing inclusivity, ABC Family/Freeform has worked to make its television shows diverse, creating space for underrepresented communities like transgender youth, Deaf communities, fat teenagers, and disabled people. By embracing the new identity embodied in Freeform, the network has been better able to represent its boldness and willingness to break free from what has traditionally been understood as “family” programming.
