Abstract

This study examines the articulation of Britishness to young German audiences through crime and period dramas, as well as the role Britishness occupies within their marketing strategies. Employing textual, genre, and promotional analyses of Midsomer Murders, Sherlock, Killing Eve, Downton Abbey, Peaky Blinders , and Bridgerton , Britishness is conceptualised as a fluid, genre-specific signifier within transnational cultural exchange and as a promotional strategy. By balancing heritage with modernity, these dramas exemplify how national identity is a flexible asset in global content flows. This fluidity highlights the enduring significance of nationhood as a marker of cultural identity and competitive differentiation within global media markets.

德国银幕上英国性的清晰表达：从巴纳比到布里奇顿

本研究考察了通过犯罪剧和历史剧向年轻的德国观众表达英国性，以及英国性在他们的营销策略中所扮演的角色。通过对《Midsomer Murders》、《Sherlock》、《Killing Eve》、《唐顿庄园》、《Peaky Blinders》和《Bridgerton》的文本、类型和推广分析，作者将英国性概念化为跨国文化交流中流动的、特定类型的能指，并作为一种推广策略。通过平衡传统与现代性，这些戏剧证明了民族认同在全球内容流动中是一种灵活的资产。这种流动性突出了国家身份作为文化认同和全球媒体市场竞争差异化标志的持久重要性。
