Locating migrating media
Locating Migrating Media details the extent to which media productions, both televisual and cinematic, have sought out new and cheaper shot locations, creative staff, and financing around the world. The book contributes to debates about media globalization, focusing on the local impact of new sites of media production. The book's chapters also question the role that film and television industries and local and regional governments play in broader economic develop and tax incentive schemes. While metaphors of transportation, mobility, fluidity and change continue to serve as key concepts and frames for understanding contemporary media industries, products and processes, the essays in this book look to local spaces, neighborhoods, cultural workers and stories to ground the global—that is, to interrogate the effect of media globalization before, during and after film and television shooting and onsite production. By locating migrating media, these chapters seek to determine the political, economic and cultural conditions that produce contemporary forms of televisual and cinematic storytelling, and how these processes affect the inhabitants, the \"look\" and the very geopolitical future of local communities, neighborhoods, cities and regions. The focus on relocated screen production highlights the act of film- and television-making, both aesthetically and economically. To locate migrating media is therefore to determine the political and cultural economies of globalized sets and stages, be they in new studios or on city streets or, perhaps most importantly, in our imaginations.

Motion Picture Paradise
Highlighting Florida's essential, often overlooked role
in shaping American film and television
Motion Picture Paradise is a sweeping story of
filmmaking in Florida, featuring the activities of studios and
filmmakers across the peninsula by looking at the many iconic films
and television shows shot in the state. In the early years of the
American film industry, Florida was a favorite location for pioneer
movie makers, and David Morton chronicles the state's importance to
producers throughout the next 125 years.
Often overshadowed by the well-known entertainment industries of
Hollywood and New York, Florida has over time had several major
film production centers. Morton follows the rise and fall of
filmmaking destinations across the state, including Jacksonville,
St. Augustine, Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Miami, as well as pioneering
underwater and location-based films shot at Florida's unique
natural springs. He argues that conflicting policies set by Florida
politicians have, at various times, enticed or pushed away movie
and television companies, a pattern that has hampered serious
investment.
Using a wealth of source materials, Morton offers a
comprehensive history that demonstrates how films and television
shows made in Florida have influenced the state's sense of
identity, drawing attention to Florida's underacknowledged role as
the \"third coast\" in American film history. Motion Picture
Paradise adds new insights into the state's dramatic social
and economic transformations during the twentieth century.

Places of the Imagination
Recent years have seen an explosive growth in the phenomenon of people visiting locations from popular novels, films or television series. Places of the Imagination presents a timely and insightful analysis of this form of media tourism, exploring the question of how best to explain the increasing popularity of media tourism within contemporary culture. Drawing on extensive empirical and interview material, this book examines the representation of landscapes in popular narratives that have inspired media tourism, whilst also investigating the effects over time of such tourism on local landscapes, and the processes by which tourists appropriate the landscape, experiencing and accommodating them into their imagination. Oriented around three central case studies of popular television detective shows, famous films and classic literature, Places of the Imagination develops a new theoretical understanding of media tourism. As such, it will appeal to sociologists and cultural geographers, as well as those working in the fields of media and cultural studies, popular and fan culture, tourism and the sociology of leisure.

Good Mourning, Baltimore
\"If you've never seen an episode of [the HBO series] 'The Wire'...by now you're probably sick of hearing about what a fool you are for missing it. The show has become an object of worship among critics and culture snobs (Barack Obama told TV Guide that it's his favorite show) and they--OK, we--can be flat-out annoying in our zeal for it, as if there are only two types of people: enlightened fans of 'The Wire,' and everyone else. Worse, with all our talk about the show's Dickensian cast of nearly 30 principal characters, its novelistic, episode-opening epigrams, its street-level patois and labyrinthine detail about city bureaucracy, we tend to make 'The Wire' sound like homework. In fact, the show is riveting, infuriating and funny as hell.\" (Newsweek) This article explores the critical success of \"The Wire,\" a series \"that started out in 2002 as a drama about a single West Baltimore detective unit but has evolved, with furious ambition, into the story of an entire city in decline.\"
