Krauß, Florian2021-01-082021-01-082020http://viewjournal.eu/articles/10.18146/view.212/https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/16170The article takes a closer look at the current industry discourse on the transnational circulation of German series. At its centre is a case study of the 1980s period drama DEUTSCHLAND (2015-2020), based on interviews with key executives and creatives. What is it that makes such ready-made TV fiction go transnational, according to the involved practitioners and in this specific case? Textual factors in particular are examined, such as the thematic and aesthetic extension of the historical-political ‘event’ miniseries through Deutschland. Furthermore, the article explores factors in respect to production, including screenwriting and financing, in the context of the dynamic TV landscape in Germany and Europe.engCreative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 GenericFernsehenBundesrepublik Deutschland070791When German Series Go Global: Industry Discourse on the Period Drama DEUTSCHLAND and its Transnational Circulationhttps://doi.org/10.18146/view.21210.25969/mediarep/15360DEUTSCHLAND 89DEUTSCHLAND 86DEUTSCHLAND 832213-0969
