It examines how facts and events are reported and interpreted, but also how ideas and opinions circulate and are recycled, with attention being paid to British traits and tropes in these domains. This in-depth study of ?issues? and ?singularity? aims at understanding how the British media have helped shape the country?s culture and representations, thereby providing its people with a sense of togetherness. Volume 1 focuses on the press, the internet and cinema as mass media, from the prolific and innovative Victorian era ? the matrix of the modern world ? to the turn of the 21st century with the challenge of digitalisation. Newspapers, magazines, films and music are studied as vehicles for fostering shared collective identities (?imagined communities?) and for projecting a certain image of Britain at home and abroad (?soft power?). Renée Dickason is Professor of British and Commonwealth studies at the University of Rennes, France. She has been a keen observer of British media for some thirty years. She is the author and (co-)editor of numerous publications on British social and cultural history, on war memories and on war representationsin the media. David Haigron is a Senior Lecturer in British Studies at the University of Rennes, France. He is the author and (co-)editor of numerous publications on political communication, popular culture and social representations in the media. 606 $aMotion pictures$zGreat Britain 606 $aDigital media 606 $aBritish Film and TV 606 $aDigital and New Media 615 0$aMotion pictures 615 0$aDigital media. 615 14$aBritish Film and TV. 615 24$aDigital and New Media. 676 $a302.230941 700 $aDickason$b Renée$01238361 701 $aHaigron$b David$01289975 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910872199403321 996 $aIssues and Singularity in the British Media Volume 1$94174696 997 $aUNINA
