This article elucidates a typology for cross-culturally comparing different versions of television formats. Digital tools are used to derive quantitative data based on temporal parameters of episode or genre of the narrative structure, content, and sequencing. Type one, which we also call “transposed narratives,” retains the narrative structure and sequencing while extending and expanding the narrative structure to readjust to longer broadcast times. Type two, which we call ‘transmutated narratives,’ re-distributes and re-organizes the narrative structure and sequencing to adjust to both extended broadcast time and other culturally relevant proximity issues. Type three adaptations display genre structure similarities while narrative structure, sequencing and content diverge. These we call ‘derived narratives.’

Die uber 18 weltweit lokal produzierten Varianten der kolumbianischen Telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea regen zur dieser Studie an, in der die deutsche Fernsehtelenovela Verliebt in Berlin mit der US-amerikanischen Dramedy Ugly Betty verglichen wird. Dabei geht es darum, wie durch solche Sendungen nationale und kulturelle Identitaten auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise aus dem gleichen narrativen Material konstruiert, hybride Kulturformen produziert und transkulturelle Beziehungen1 (Hepp 2006: 9) praktisch geknupft werden.

In 1996, journalist Wiglaf Droste wrote a review of the “First East Music Exhibition” in Berlin from Feb. 23 to 25 in the German-language edition of the magazine Rolling Stone (April) entitled “Rock & Roll Identitätärä, ” heaping mounds of ridicule on the event. It featured pop music vocalists Frank Schöbel and Dina Straat, as well as the Puhdys and Karat, the two most prominent pre-unification East German bands. Calling it an exercise in self-flagellation and a “festival of the undead,” Droste was blunt in his derision at what he considered a “confirmation of every potential prejudice” about the music of the Eastern Germans abundantly evident at the get-together. His scorn was not only directed against the very groups “which made GDR culture so horrible” like Karat, who he dismissed as a “bombastic poetic rock band”, or the “feared Puhdys.” For Droste, the lyrics of the music of what he termed the “Zone-Zombies” is the same: “sob, boohoo, no one likes us, everyone from the West is ...

This article cross-culturally compares the German remake of the Quebec sketch comedy/sitcom series Un Gars, Une Fille ("A Guy and a Girl") the the original version by correlating quantitative data derived from the Adobe Premiere Pro annotation function on the duration of narrative segments and incorporating these data into a an interpretation of family conflict management strategies, gender roles and conflicts between the mother-in-law and the the young 30something couple as protagonists. The article examines a scene in which the daughter confronts her mother's trauma-inducing behavior on her as a young girl, and the boyfriend confronts the mother-in-law's animosity toward him. The article delves into the background for the transactional, belligerent, and obligational thinking behind the family relationship of the German couple compared to the more affectionate and conciliatory relationship in all other versions. The investigation postulates that the family relatio...

This article cross-culturally compares different versions of the Quebec sitcom/sketch comedy television series Un Gars, Une Fille (1997-2002) by examining the various gender roles and family conflict management strategies in a scene in which the heterosexual couple visits the male character’s mother-in-law. The article summarizes similarities and differences in the narrative structure, sequencing and content of several format adaptations by compiling computer-generated quantitative and qualitative data on the length of segments. To accomplish this, I have used the annotation function of Adobe Premiere, and visualized the findings using Microsoft Excel bar graphs and tables. This study applies a multimodal methodology to reveal the textual organization of scenes, shots and sequences which guide viewers toward culturally proxemic interpretations. This article discusses the benefits of applying the notion of discursive proximity suggested by Uribe-Jongbloed and Espinosa-Medina (2014) t...

The diffusion of rock and popular music from the US and British mass entertainment industries since the 1950s has had a profound impact on the music traditions world-wide. Several generations of youth have been socialised to the musical accompaniment of rock and roll music of the 1950s, the ‘beat music’ of the 1960s, the so-called ‘psychedelic’ or ‘underground’ rock music of the 1970s, disco, punk and new wave music in the 1970s and 1980s. It has resulted in the transplantation of these ‘foreign’ styles into music cultures with small groups of fan communities for rock and roll, country and western, blues, punk, reggae and others which were previously unheard of there before their introduction. In addition, domestic traditions have been profoundly affected by the diffusion of these new music styles and have integrated some of their musical, technical and other components into their own repertoires. The Schlager music in the German-speaking countries has been one of the most prominent...
