By drawing on different theories of realism, the authors explore how the term may be used as a helpful concept in order to analyse and evaluate current trends in cultural production and, in turn, how cultural production changes our understanding of what counts as 'realism'. The contributions deal with realism in narrative fiction, drama and audiovisual media (film, television news) within the context of national traditions: examples drawn on in the case studies range from Africa, Britain, Germany, Iceland, Russia, Turkey to the United States. While the authors take their cues from media-specific 'realisms', focusing especially on narrative fiction, the volume also highlights continuities and intersections between notions of realism in different genres and media. With its original essays, this collection invigorates the transdisciplinary engagement with forms and socio-political functions of realism in contemporary culture.linguae & litteraeKnowledge, Theory ofRealism in literatureRealism in motion picturesRealism in the pressReality in mass mediaContemporary Culture.Drama.Novel.Realism.Knowledge, Theory of.Realism in literature.Realism in motion pictures.Realism in the press.Reality in mass media.809/.912809.912Birke Dorothee896925Butter Stella1670515MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811202703321Realisms in contemporary culture4032418UNINA
