Downton Mania. The Television Series “Downton Abbey” and its Impact on Public History and Film TourismThe following seminar-paper examines the potential of historical television series for historical science. Using the television series "Downton Abbey" as an example, it shows series’ effects on public history and film tourism. The main argument is that historical series increase public interest in history and thus make it possible to communicate historical topics to a broader audience.

Film tourism (movie tourism) covers all tourist trips in the footsteps of movie stars (actors and directors) and their artworks, creating an opportunity for deeper reflection and personal live tracks. It is also visiting places known from the screen, searching for the atmosphere, climate, touring of the facilities immortalized in a film or a television series – the so-called set-jetting (Stasiak 2009). Examples from different places in the world and Poland show that film can perfectly promote any place and affect the turnout of tourists. The scale of this phenomenon depends on the rank of a given film production. Undertaking appropriate promotional activities may bring benefits from film tourism even many years after the film’s release. One of the most important cities on the map of film tourism in Poland is Sandomierz, where the action of a popular television series Ojciec Mateusz takes place. The aim of the article is to show the importance of film for the promotion and development of tourism, on the example of this city. The example of Sandomierz shows that a television series can become a very effective form of promotion and generate a significant increase in tourist traffic, which, in turn, has an influence on the financial benefits and quality of life of the residents of Sandomierz. Based on the presented research it can be said that, since the start of airing of the television series Ojciec Mateusz in 2008, a significant increase in tourist traffic has been observed in Sandomierz. This is confirmed both by official statistics and the opinions of people working in the service of tourist traffic. In addition, watching the TV series Ojciec Mateusz affects decisions about coming to Sandomierz.

A cross-cultural study of on-site film-tourism experiences among Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese and Thai visitors to the Daejanggeum Theme Park, South Korea
  • Nov 1, 2012
  • Current Issues in Tourism
  • Sangkyun Kim

There has been a growing research interest in the film-tourism phenomenon and its associated film tourist motivations, expectations and experiences at filmed locations of popular media programmes, in particular, in film and television series. However, with some exceptions, research into non-Anglophone linguistic and cultural settings remains relatively unexplored. There is also a lack of cross-cultural studies of film tourists’ experience in this research area. This current study addresses this gap and contributes to the existing film-tourism literature by examining the impact of nationality on film tourists’ actual experiences. The study looks at those experiences at filmed locations associated with Daejanggeum, a Korean historical television drama in the inter-Asian context. Adopting a structured survey questionnaire, the primary research data were collected at the Daejanggeum Theme Park (the main filming location of Daejanggeum in South Korea) among international visitors mainly from China, Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. Exploratory factor analysis identifies three salient dimensions to the film-tourism experiences, namely, ‘novelty and prestige’, ‘beyond screen experiences and re-enactment’, and ‘intimacy and memory’. In addition, it is empirically suggested that nationality does affect film tourist's on-site experiences. These findings provide important implications for destination marketers in relation to film-tourism destination development and experience design and management.

THE IMPACT OF IRANIAN FILMS AND TELEVISION SERIES ON TURKISH AND AZERBAIJANI INBOUND TOURISTS
  • Nov 2, 2024
  • International Journal of Research -GRANTHAALAYAH
  • Hassan Salehi + 1 more

Recently, Iran has employed different methods to attract international tourists, with film tourism emerging as one of the most effective strategies, owing to the export of television (TV) series and films. With this tool and approach, Iran increased the number of tourists and became a unique country to visit owing to the shared language, culture, and special geographic location with over 15 countries, including two independent and disconnected states in Iraq, Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, and Nakhichevan, alongside 27 heritage sites. Iran achieved remarkable success in exporting TV series and films. The ‘film-induced tourism effect’, which refers to the increase in demand for travel to Iran, is widely thought to be one of the most significant outcomes of exporting TV series and films. This relatively new field explores how TV series and films affect travel demand. The main purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of TV series broadcasting in other countries with cultural similarities such as language. For this, we examine the influence of Turkish and Azerbaijani citizens visiting Iran. The results indicate that visitors from both countries were affected by Iranian TV series post-2018.

‘Welcome to the Anthropocene’
  • Jul 16, 2024
  • Public History Review
  • Anne Brædder

The geological concept ‘the Anthropocene’ circulates widely outside Earth System Science – in museum communities, public culture, social sciences, and amongst social science and humanities scholars, artists, activists and public historians too. It is an evident idea for public historians today working with environmental history to engage with a concept that successfully and popularly bridges academic and public interests. This article discusses the concept of the Anthropocene within public environmental history’s historiography and brings in Dipesh Chakrabarty’s influential discussions from the academic field of history and theory about the non-synchronous temporalities geological time and historical time. The article categorizes public environmental history’s methodological approaches since the field emerged in the 1990s, revealing the important concepts being landscapes, human-nature interactions, climate change, sustainability and the Anthropocene. It concludes that the Anthropocene is a concept that can further develop public environmental history but that it also a paradox to the field potentially affecting a core idea in public history – relationships to publics. This has to do with temporal implications of the concept: it squeezes the temporality of memory important to public history and humans out of view; it imposes an extremely slow and long chronological time that is unfamiliar if not foreign to ordinary people to perceive of; it carries with it the idea about a future without humans and other species of today.

The Buppaesanniwas phenomenon: ‘Thainess’ and national identity as a film tourism motivation
  • Sep 18, 2019
  • Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change
  • Gulapish Pookaiyaudom + 1 more

The 2018 Thai soap opera Buppaesanniwas was a genre-breaking historical-fantasy drama and a surprise hit among Thai audiences that resulted in a dramatic rise of domestic tourists to the Ayutthaya World Heritage Site. The television series was lauded as a celebration of Thai culture, and fans often visited the ancient ruins dressed in traditional Thai clothing. This paper explores the case study of the film tourism phenomenon at Ayutthaya and pays particular attention to the idea of national and cultural identity as a tourism motivation using field observations, media research and purposive interviews. Film tourism has typically been driven by the desire to see the landscapes featured in the media, but in this case, we find that the desire to visit Ayutthaya as a destination is also as much about celebrating the idea of ‘Thainess’ which is manifested by the accompanying trend of wearing traditional Thai dress.

Turkish historical television series: public broadcasting of neo-Ottoman illusions
  • Apr 3, 2019
  • Southeast European and Black Sea Studies
  • Senem B Çevik

ABSTRACTTurkish television series gained their presence in the global entertainment market being dubbed as Turkey’s soft power asset. However, in more recent years, together with increasing government control over Turkey’s media landscape and rising authoritarianism, historical television series depicting the Ottoman Empire have flourished primarily on Turkish Radio and Television (TRT) public broadcasting. This paper argues that historical television series on TRT reflect the political elite’s populist-nationalism and are in line with the AKP’s (Justice and Development Party) political discourse. Therefore, television series aired on TRT are operationalized by the AKP government to advance their political agenda and are thus employed as propaganda tools in disseminating a populist-nationalist discourse.

  • Nathália Körössy + 1 more

Film tourism is a segment whose main motivation is to visit places linked to audiovisual production, mainly films produced for cinema and television series. It is an expanding segment all over the world that gains attention from the localities due to its possibilities of spreading the image of the city and improve economic benefits. Thus, both the creation of new tourism products related to the audiovisual productions that had the locality as scenery for the filming, as well as the implementation of strategies to capture new productions capable of attracting more visitors. In spite of the worldwide trend of growth of the sector, in Brazil there is still an institutional and scientific gap on the subject, which leads to a low utilization of the potential of cinematographic tourism in the national scenario. Based on the above considerations, this research seeks to understand the state of the art of film tourism in Brazil, based on the analysis of the national scientific production.

Treme (TV Milestones Series) by Jaimey Fisher
  • Jan 1, 2021
  • Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal
  • Nicholas K Johnson

Reviewed by: Treme (TV Milestones Series) by Jaimey Fisher Nicholas K. Johnson Treme (TV Milestones Series) Jaimey Fisher Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2019. ISBN: 9780814341513, $19.99, 152 pages. In Treme, a compact, critical guide to the David Simon and Eric Overmeyer-helmed HBO series of the same name (2010-2013), Jaimey Fisher explores how this underrated series depicts post-Katrina New Orleans through original, inventive techniques. Part of Wayne State University's TV Milestones series, Treme examines the series through the lenses of networked narrative, cultural production, criminal justice, disaster capitalism, and the "counter-publics" of New Orleans. In contrast with other scholarly or journalistic treatments of Treme, Fisher's volume goes beyond now-shopworn arguments about whether the series depicts New Orleans from a touristic, "outsider's" perspective—a David Simoncentric contention that quickly falls apart when one notes the large amount of local involvement in the production. Instead, Fisher examines Treme from the perspective of how it differs from other "prestige" television series of the early 2000s by dispensing with genre convention altogether. He notes that the series stands out for its prominent female characters and as the only prestige television series with a black protagonist, even though Antoine Batiste (Wendell Pierce) is the series' protagonist in only the loosest sense of term (5). In this short but detailed analysis of Treme, Fisher examines the series as an outlier in the "prestige television" landscape and critically investigates how it depicts a city recovering from trauma and rebuilding. Fisher begins the book by introducing twin concepts that ground his analysis: the "noconcept narrative" and "networked narrative." With the former, he refers to Treme's rejection of traditional television plotlines and generic tropes, such as The Wire's narcotics investigation narrative, in favor of a meandering, "slice of life" depiction of New Orleans—in layman's terms, it is, like Seinfeld, a "show about nothing." For him, Treme, with its "emphatic rejection of television genre…functions as a kind of counter-public, at odds not only with television's standard generic fare but even with the sort of widely praised genre variations in The Wire" (115). This is one of Fisher's most convincing arguments and helps his analysis go beyond that of other works on the series, which tend to focus on its depictions of New Orleans culture. The series' muted critical reception was in part due to puzzlement at a seemingly aimless follow-up to The Wire, which explored Baltimore through the lenses of the War on Drugs, education, politics, and the media. The networked narrative concept refers to the show's use of an ensemble cast of characters in order to depict the city of New Orleans as its main character, as opposed to focusing on a troubled male antihero, common to other "prestige TV" series such as Mad Men, The Sopranos, and Breaking Bad. Treme combines the networked narrative method of storytelling (which Simon initially employed in The Wire) with a strong emphasis on montage in order to draw disparate characters into a larger, more collective story. Fisher traces Treme's networked narrative style and its use of montage to urban crime films including Fritz Lang's M (1931) and argues that these techniques prove especially valuable for a film or series' "social engagement," that is, they help viewers think about systems, not just individual characters (16-17). Most valuable for readers of this journal are the intriguing possibilities such a networked narrative depiction could offer other historical television series. Also pioneered by other recent HBO fare such as High Maintenance, network narratives could offer historical drama series the possibility of moving beyond great man/woman storylines, as well as depicting urban environments through diverse viewpoints in order to interweave the stories of individual characters with larger, more system-level narratives. In short, Fisher argues that Treme's use of networked narrative strategies combined with montage allow the series to constantly shift scale in order to illustrate just [End Page 69] how New Orleans both suffered from and dealt with the fallout of Katrina at various societal levels, whether in the city's music and food scenes, failing criminal justice, housing and educational systems...

Study on the Development Status and Prospects of Public History in Contemporary China
  • May 21, 2024
  • Communications in Humanities Research
  • Huiling Feng

Public history is a combination of traditional historiography popularization, in which many topics related to social practice may arise. Public history is beneficial for improving the knowledge level of the general public. The United States was the first to begin the study of public history, and then public history was introduced to China. The development of Chinese public history is reflected in various film and television historiography, and has been integrated into the daily lives of the general public. The development of contemporary Chinese public history is also reflected in museum historical architecture and folk genealogy. The main reason for the rise of Chinese historiography is that the general public has increasingly high demands for spiritual nourishment, and there are more and more educated people. Public history has gained a lot of attention in this environment. The dissemination of works that combine many historical themes has aroused strong interest among the public. After two launches of public history in China, public history experienced an outbreak in the second round. The government and the public paid more attention to topics related to public history, which made the development of public history more prosperous.

Film Tourism in South-Eastern Sicily: In the Footsteps of Inspector Montalbano
  • Sep 2, 2021
  • ATHENS JOURNAL OF TOURISM
  • Vincenzo Asero + 1 more

This study focuses on film tourism on the island of Sicily, in the context of the popular television series, Montalbano. Since the series began, there have been increases in tourist flows in the towns most directly interested. Although it is impossible to say that the Montalbano series is directly responsible for these phenomena, it has succeeded in bringing visibility to the territories and landscapes of the area. In the tourist sector, there are now abundant possibilities for fans to participate in movie tours. The apparent success of the series and its tourist spin-offs can be problematised, therefore, since it raises questions about authenticity from the perspective of the subjectivity of the tourists. Authenticity, for a tourist on a ‘Montalbano tour’, relates more to the desire to explore a virtual reality than to the traditional attractions of the places. The issue of authenticity has contrasting implications for the areas involved. The location of ‘Vigata’, a fictional creation of author Andrea Camilleri, has become an issue, as towns compete for a share of the rapidly evolving tourist market, engaging in attempts to demonstrate authentic traces of the fictional context. The paper explores these issues from an interdisciplinary, mixed methods perspective that combines insights from the fields of Economics and Linguistics. Data are analysed in terms of the multimodal and discourse-pragmatic dimensions of the interpretation of image-texts. Keywords: Montalbano, film tourism, framing, multimodality, destination branding

História pública e cultura histórica na produção audiovisual contemporânea
  • Dec 3, 2020
  • Em Tempo de Histórias
  • Josias José Freire Júnior

A particularidade científica da ciência da história, sua racionalidade específica, é garantida em sua produção, na historiografia, por meio de regras teórico-metodológicas que resultam no controle das etapas do processo de pesquisa. Entretanto, a história não é capaz de controlar a circulação social desse conhecimento, para além de seu âmbito, embora a questão da apresentação da história também seja um de seus problemas. Sem dúvida uma das formas mais importantes de divulgação não estritamente historiográfica da história é o audiovisual, seja no cinema ou em outras mídias. Nesse contexto, apresenta-se nesse artigo reflexões com intuito de problematizar significados das narrativas audiovisuais veiculadas pela série televisiva "Guia Politicamente Incorreto" (2017), em discussões dos temas da história pública, da consciência e da cultura histórica. O artigo ora apresentado é resultado de pesquisa que objetivou discutir significados históricos da produção audiovisual, a partir da história pública e da didática da história, na série televisiva aqui analisada.

The effect of audience involvement on previsit behavioral intentions: the mediating role of place attachment
  • Jun 10, 2024
  • International Journal of Tourism Cities
  • Dongqi Shi + 2 more

Purpose This study aims to explore the determinants of behavioral intentions during the previsit stage by investigating the influence of audience involvement with the audiovisual product and the mediating role played by place attachment. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modeling was employed to verify the hypothesized relationships using the AMOS 24.0 program to assess the proposed model. A total of 564 young Chinese audiences who had watched the Thai television (TV) series “I Told Sunset About You” but had not previously visited Phuket, Thailand, were collected using the online survey as participants. Findings The findings indicate that audience involvement has a significant positive effect on place attachment and behavioral intentions during the previsit stage. Place attachment significantly influences behavioral intentions. Moreover, the result suggests that place attachment significantly mediates the relationship between audience involvement and behavioral intentions. Research limitations/implications This study contributes to film tourism research by revealing the crucial role of audience involvement in enhancing place attachment and fostering behavioral intentions toward depicted destinations among potential tourists. Practical implications This study suggests that destination marketers should be aware of the soft power of films and TV series to promote destination and attract prospective tourists. Originality/value This study provides a distinctive perspective on the interrelationships between audience involvement, place attachment, and previsit behavioral intentions. Additionally, it sheds light on the underlying mechanisms influencing potential tourists' behaviors in the context of film tourism.

Authored by Marc Stein, a historian studying queer history for more than three decades, the book brings a personal perspective to queer history from the late 1980s through the 2010s. Stein uses his own essays, written throughout his career, to examine the issues faced by the queer community over time, the developments of the queer movement, and how those issues and developments affected historians doing queer history. Queer Public History also illustrates how community historians and academic historians have been intertwined since the beginning of the academic study of queer history. The relationship has allowed for a more activist approach to queer history than most other history disciplines. The book comprises thirty-three essays organized into eight sections centered on different themes. Those themes are as follows: “Queer... You do not currently have access to this content.
