| Περίληψη: | This study of the heroic in Doctor Who offers a look at the underlying sociocultural
make-up of Great Britain through the course of more than half a century,
combining experiences of the day-to-day and grand national narratives due to the
ways in which the medium of television is embedded in cultural sense-making.
The heroes of Doctor Who are woven into the everyday – discussed over dinner,
argued about in coffee breaks and on social media, and peering out from posters
in childhood bedrooms. Yet the heroes are exceptional in ways that exceed
the realm and reach of the viewers’ every-day. They are always in motion. They
travel to the edge of time. They negotiate the values, identities and feeling-states
of whole generations of the British nation. |
