This collection seeks to advance the growing field of telecinematic stylistics, building on burgeoning research in the stylistic study of aural and visual cinematic discourse through interdisciplinary perspectives and innovative methodologies.The volume expands on new approaches in stylistics, which have moved beyond monomodal emphasis and pragmatic-based analyses. Drawing on a wide range of cinematic texts across genres, contributions showcase both qualitative and quantitative research and their affordances for rich analyses of how telecinematic media use narrative elements to entertain and engage audiences. Examples range from classics such as the Star Trek series and Fargo to contemporary films such as Promising Young Woman and Aftersun. Established and emerging scholars explore such topics as the evolution of style in adaptations, feminist readings, the effect of metaphors, and building worlds through a stylistic lens.Bringing the study of production and performance analysis together with traditional stylistic approaches to stylistic texts, this book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in stylistics, multimodality, film studies, and media studies.
