“…While it would be an easy project to take issue with the particularities of the stories that Palmer tells, this article is more interested in considering All You Need Is Love as television documentary. As a “technology of memory” (Plate and Smelik 2009) the television documentary enables a particular kind of access to the historical past, one whose results are authenticated by the genre of documentary itself (Pušnik 2009, 192–93). My concern here is less to do, then, with the series’ content than it is to do with thinking critically about how that content is organized in the form that this piece of TV takes, and more still to do with how the narrative and structural devices at play help to produce particular ideas about popular music.…”

Over the past forty years, a growing number of television documentaries have attempted to produce a history of Anglo-American popular music for a wide audience. This article represents an attempt to come to terms with the particularity of the popular music documentary form and the different ways in which these documentaries present themselves as authoritative public texts that circulate understandings about popular music's past. The argument is inspired by the landmark mid-1970s installment in this tradition: Tony Palmer's epic seventeen-part narrative, All You Need Is Love. While this series makes strong historical claims-in Palmer's words, it sets out to tell "nothing less than the entire history and development of popular music"-the author argues that the series is, in fact, based on the tropes and discourses of memory. Through an analysis of some of the particular formal and aesthetic characteristics of the series, this article reveals the ways in which talking and thinking about the past of popular music and its culture necessarily call on an experience of the senses that is simultaneously replayed and refracted as memory.

“…Tegenwoordige tijd in documentaire programmering wordt volgens Steve Anderson meestal ingezet ter verduidelijking van de huidige situaties en wordt bepaald door de behoeften van het heden. 60 Het gebruik van de verleden tijd door Goedkoop benadrukt juist de tegengestelde bedoelingen van Andere tijden. Het programma biedt zo een alternatief voor meer traditionelere manieren van televisie maken volgens het aloude principe van populaire geschiedenis, waarbij historische figuren en gebeurtenissen werden gebruikt om de toekomst te ontdekken.…”

In modern society, television is one of the most important media for presenting the past. This article focuses on the poetics of history on television broadcasts in relation to the manner in which these broadcasts present our past as well as our collective memory. This study rebuts criticism of television as a medium for historical accounts by demonstrating how professionals in the field actively display an extensive knowledge and understanding of the past, provide frameworks for the contextualization of audiovisual materials and depth, and apply and operate specific functions of different representation tools in their productions. To gain insight into the way television producers interact with history, this study combines qualitative textual analysis of the broadcasts and an approach from the field of production studies: diverse in-depth interviews and analysis of internal documents. The case study chosen for this research was Andere Tijden, a history program based on archive material and produced by NTR (formerly known as NPS) and VPRO for the Dutch Broadcast Foundation, from 2000 onwards. The case study demonstrates how television producers’ mediation of history is an important practice in the search for history and memories and the conservation and presentation thereof. The analysis reveals the possibility of more cohesive poetics with regard to history on broadcast television and offers insight into the objectives, strategies and conventions of television producers. Special attention is paid to the more implicit practices of selection and interpretation of material by television producers as curators of the past. These implicit practices are made explicit on a cultural-historical, institutional and textual level.

Starcie Narracji. Studia O Słoweńskiej Pamięci Zbiorowej

Wstęp 21 trudno definiowalnej Europy Środkowej, w tym Polaków i Słoweńców, sposoby pamiętania czy upamiętniania przeszłości (paradygmat romantyczny), jak i narracje wynikające ze specyficznie słoweńskiego przebiegu wydarzeń oraz z procesów historycznych (stosunek do dziedzictwa marksistowskiego, pamięć o drugiej wojnie światowej).Publikacje dążące do ujęcia charakterystycznych zjawisk jakiejś kultury i wskazania mechanizmów generujących ich powstanie narażają się na niebezpieczeństwo przedstawienia tej kultury jako niezmiennego monolitu. Zastrzegamy więc, że w tomie tym jest ukazany wycinek dyskursu naukowego, który obowiązuje na początku trzeciego dziesięciolecia XXI wieku. Nie należy zapominać, że narracja uniwersytecka również wywiera wpływ na kształt pamięci zbiorowej. Zachęcamy do krytycznej lektury aktualizującej treści zaprezentowane w książce. Bibliografia
