This new edited collection may be of interest to list subscribers. ? Regional Aesthetics: Mapping UK Media Cultures Edited by Ieuan Franklin, Hugh Chignell and Kristin Skoog (all based at Bournemouth University) Palgrave Macmillan Regional Aesthetics is about forms of media that have reflected - or increased consciousness of - a sense of place or a regional identity. From landscape painting in the Romantic era to newspaper coverage of devolution, the chapters explore, through contextualized case studies, the aesthetics of a wide range of local, regional and grassroots forms of media. The collection examines the aesthetic and political dimensions of regional representations in film (feature films, amateur film and educational film); novels; television (drama, comedy, documentary and educational programming); music; radio; and digital media. In mapping UK media cultures across the C20th and beyond, this books functions as an 'academic GPS', designed to introduce and encourage the study of regionally located media in the curriculum.
