Textul de pe ultima copertă
Since
its
debut
in
2000,CSI:
Crime
Scene
Investigation,
which
depicts
the
crime-solving
work
of
Gil
Grissom
(William
Petersen)
and
his
team
of
smart
criminalists
in
modern-day
Las
Vegas,
has
inspired
a
large
and
loyal
fan
following,
won
critical
acclaim
and
ratings
success
internationally,
and
has
spawned
spin-offs
set
in
Miami
and
New
York
and
numerous
imitations.
Steven
Cohan's
insightful
study
ofCSIintroduces
the
show,
its
main
characters
and
stand-out
features,
such
as
the
role
of
science,
the
distinctive
use
of
colour,
and
the
unexpected,
often
bizarre
crimes.
Cohan
makes
a
case
for
the
series'
classic
status,
arguing
that
it
has
been
responsible
for
the
twenty-first
century
reinvention
of
the
cop
show
in
a
fresh
mutli-faceted
setting
while
also
offering
a
more
intellectual
model
of
detection.
Cohan examines the status of evidence in relation to truth and justice, using the story arc involving the Blue Paint Killer as a main example, and assesses the series' impact through the much discussed 'CSI Effect'. He addresses the series' visual style, the attention to both cutting-edge forensic technology and CGI close ups to represent the effects of weapons on the human body, and goes on to consider the series' locale, in which the fantasy delights of the new Las Vegas exist alongside echoes of its gangster-ridden past, and crimes bring out the contrast between the flashy spectacle of the Strip, suburban Clark County and the arid landscapes of the Mojave desert. Cohan analyses CSI's consistent questioning of identity and 'normality' in the numerous episodes that feature subcultural groups and questions if mainstream success has affected the show's edginess, particularly as it approaches a future without the key character of Grissom.
Steven Cohan is Professor in the Department of English at Syracuse University. He is the author of a number of books includingIncongruous Entertainment: Camp, Cultural Value and the MGM Musical(2005) andMasked Men: Masculinity and the Movies in the Fifties(1997).
