Public Memory and the Television Series Outlander

Zusatztext

<p><span>Using rhetorical criticism as a research method,</span><span>Public Memory and the Television Series</span><span>Outlander examines how public memory is created in the first four seasons of the popular television show</span><span>Outlander</span><span>. In this book, Valerie Lynn Schrader discusses the connections between documented history and the series, noting where</span><span>Outlander</span><span>'s depiction of events aligns with documented history and where it does not, as well as how public memory is created through the use of music, language, directorial and performance choices, and mise-en-scéne elements like filming location, props, and costumes. Schrader also explores the impact that</span><span>Outlander</span><span> has had on Scottish tourism (known as the </span><span>Outlander</span><span> effect) and reflects on whether other filming locations or depicted locations may experience a similar effect as</span><span>Outlander</span><span>s settings move from Scotland to other areas of the world. Furthermore, Schrader suggests that the creation of public memory through the television series encourages audiences to learn about history and reflect on current issues that are brought to light through that public memory.</span></p>
