Project description
Transnational formats for European creative industries
Popular culture plays a crucial role in the dissemination of representations in Europe, thanks to the mobility of people. The EU-funded DETECt project will explore the development of European cultural identity as an ongoing transformative process facilitated by the movement of individuals, products, and representations across the continent. This will be achieved through an examination of crime fiction, film, and TV dramas from 1989 to the present. The project seeks to comprehend the impact of mobility strategies, such as co-production, serialisation, translation, adaptation, distribution, and more, on the transnational spread of European popular culture. DETECt will investigate the production, distribution, and consumption practices in Europe to identify innovative transnational formats for the European creative industries.
Objective
DETECt -Detecting Transcultural Identity in European Popular Crime Narratives addresses the formation of European cultural identity as a continuing process of transformation fostered by the mobility of people, products and representations across the continent. Because of the extraordinary mobility of its products, popular culture plays a decisive role in circulating representations that constitute a shared cultural asset for large sectors of the European society. The project examines examples of crime fiction, film and TV dramas from 1989 to present, to learn how mobility strategies such as co-production, serialization, translation, adaptation, distribution, and more, have influenced the transnational dissemination of European popular culture. It also investigates how the treatment of specific ‘mobile signifiers’ – including representations of gender, ethnic and class identities – affect the ability of European narratives to migrate outside their place of origin, and be appropriated elsewhere in different and variegated ways. Researching the contemporary history of the crime genre in Europe, DETECt aims to identify the practices of production, distribution and consumption that are best suited to facilitate the emergence of engaging representations of Europe’s enormously rich, plural and cross-cultural identity.
The knowledge acquired through a detailed research programme will be used in cultural, learning and public engagement initiatives designed to prompt the elaboration of new transnational formats for the European creative industries. These activities will profit from a set of experimental research and learning resources and innovative collaborative tools, aggregated and organized on DETECt Web portal. A range of activities will be addressed to the general public. In particular, the development of a Web mobile app tools will allow users to contribute to the creation of a collaborative atlas of European crime narratives.
