Funded Activity Summary

Early Television Drama in Australia, Great Britain and the USA. This project will reevaluate the history of early television drama by adopting a comparative perspective that examines Australian, UK and US drama during the period 1956-1964. Television drama was both a primary site where emerging national television systems could explore and showcase the potentialities of the new medium and a site in which there was considerable international sharing of critical understandings, production practices and creative ambitions. This project will map an international television ecology by evaluating these three national television drama systems and tracing the systems of interchange among them.
