What is it that distinguishes British drama and comedy from its English-speaking counterparts? To a high degree, it is the excentricity of its characters and the idiosyncrasy of its dialogue, which can be said to be a reflection of contemporary British culture. During this seminar, we will be learning to pinpoint the characteristics of figures, situations and dialogue in film and television that are quintessentially British, drawing on a wide range of audio-visual sources. |
