Despite acknowledgement that suicide notes are social texts, there has been no book which analyzes suicide notes as discursive texts and no attempt at a qualitative discourse analysis of them. Discourses of Men's Suicide Notes redresses this gap in the literature. Focussing on men and masculinity and anchored in qualitative discourse analysis, Dariusz Galasinski responds to the need for a more thorough understanding of suicidal behaviour. Culturally, men have been posited to be 'masters of the universe' and yet some choose to end their lives. This book takes a qualitative approach to data gathered from the Polish Corpus of Suicide Notes, a unique repository of over 600 suicide notes, to explore discourse from and about men at the most traumatic juncture of their lives. Discussing how men construct suicide notes and the ways in which they position their relationships and identities within them, Discourses of Men's Suicide Notes seeks to understand what these notes mean and what significance and power they are invested with."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Bloomsbury advances in critical discourse studies.Discourse analysisLast letters before deathMenIdentityMenLanguageSuicide victims' writingsSuicide victimsCorrespondenceDiscourse analysisDiscourse analysis.Last letters before death.MenIdentity.MenLanguage.Suicide victims' writings.Suicide victims362.2801/41Galasiński Dariusz890018UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910511314103321Discourses of men's suicide notes2553261UNINA04146nam 22006135 450 991087805110332120240726125242.09783031583193(electronic bk.)978303158318610.1007/978-3-031-58319-3(MiAaPQ)EBC31569768(Au-PeEL)EBL31569768(CKB)33428456500041(DE-He213)978-3-031-58319-3(EXLCZ)993342845650004120240726d2024 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierTeenage Audiences and British Period Drama /by Shelley Anne Galpin1st ed. 2024.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2024.1 online resource (227 pages)Print version: Galpin, Shelley Anne Teenage Audiences and British Period Drama Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2024 9783031583186 Chapter 1: Period Drama and Young Audiences The Foundations of the Research -- Chapter 2: Study Design and Data Collection -- Chapter 3: ‘Kids Today’ Teenagers in England in 2017/18 -- Chapter 4: Love and Loathing The Responses to the Dramas -- Chapter 5: Values, Emotion, Identity: Responses to Character -- Chapter 6: Style Over Substance? Adaptation and Authenticity in the Period Drama -- Conclusion.“Galpin’s sensitive research, based on her experience of teaching in London, is welcome and wide-ranging. It challenges assumptions about young audiences by exploring how period drama carries significance in contemporary lives. A crucial book on genre, it also makes original contributions to debates about diversity, identity formation, and emotional engagement.” — Christine Geraghty, University of Glasgow, UK This book provides an engaging insight into the responses of teenage audiences to British period drama, presenting original data collected from young people across England. Situated in relation to debates regarding the heritage film and young people’s consumption of the media, Teenage Audiences and British Period Drama challenges the often homogenous characterisation of teenagers by demonstrating the range of responses this genre inspires in young viewers. Arguing for the period drama’s underestimated relevance to younger audiences, the book details the varied ways that young people use film and television drama to make sense of the world and their place in it, and highlights the under-researched significance of collective viewing in influencing viewer response. Analysis demonstrates the key role that values play in influencing judgements amongst youth audiences, the importance of perceived historical accuracy and the potential for screen texts to inspire a deeper relationship with the past. Shelley Anne Galpin is a Lecturer at King’s College London, having previously taught at a number of UK universities including the University of York, Royal Holloway and Goldsmiths. Prior to her academic career, she worked for several years in the secondary and further education sectors in London.AudiencesAdaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.)Motion picturesTelevision broadcastingYouthSocial life and customsFan and Audience StudiesAdaptation StudiesFilm and Television StudiesYouth CultureAudiences.Adaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.).Motion pictures.Television broadcasting.YouthSocial life and customs.Fan and Audience Studies.Adaptation Studies.Film and Television Studies.Youth Culture.302.33Galpin Shelley Anne1762011MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910878051103321Teenage Audiences and British Period Drama4201729UNINA
