Watching Doctor Who: Fan Reception and Evaluation de Dr. Paul Booth

Watching Doctor Who: Fan Reception and Evaluation: Who Watching

Autor Dr. Paul Booth, Craig Owen Jones
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 feb 2021
Through a richly detailed account of fan cultures and media over the over fifty-year history of the show, Watching Doctor Who explores fandom's changing attitudes towards this much-loved TV series. Why do fans love an episode one year but deride it a decade later? How do fans' values of Doctor Who change over time? As a show that's featured as part of the shared landscape of home entertainment since the 1960s, Doctor Who helps us understand the changingnature of notions of 'value' and 'quality' in popular television. Through a series of in-depth case studies of fan polls and debates, Paul Booth and Craig Owen Jones interrogate the way Doctor Who fans and audiences re-interpret the value of particular episodes, Doctors, companions, and eras of Who. With a foreword by Paul Cornell.

Recenzii

This book proves that some of the most fascinating adventures of Doctor Who didn't take place on screen, but within the constant flux of critical perception and reassessment. This is an extraordinary and celebratory look at the evolution of a television series that can still inspire and baffle well into its sixth decade.
Watching Doctor Who moves smartly across fan and academic debates surrounding the value of TV series more generally, and the valuation of Doctor Who stories in particular. For anyone who's ever argued over their favourite episodes, Paul Booth and Craig Owen Jones offer a timely provocation, a brilliant new dialogue, and a valuable intervention in the many understandings and evaluations of the good Doctor's epistopic interfaces.
An incisive and thoroughly readable study of how Doctor Who fandom ascribes value - and values - to the series in all of its incarnations, and how those value(s) shifting over time are reflected in the larger study of fandom as a cultural experience.
An entertaining and informative history and examination of Doctor Who fandom and criticism. I recommended it for anyone who ever debated their favourite Doctor . or companion . or monster - in other words, for all Doctor Who fans.
