{"product_id":"9781526171948","title":"Watching Game of Thrones : How Audiences Engage with Dark Television by Martin Barker","description":"Game of Thrones was an international sensation, and has been looked at from many different angles.  But to date there has been little research into its audiences: who they were, how they engaged with and responded to it.  This book presents the findings of a major international research project that garnered more than 10,000 responses to an innovative 'qualiquantitative' questionnaire.  Among its findings are: a new way of understanding the place and role of favourite characters in audiences' responses; new insights into the role of fantasy in encouraging thinking about our own world; and an account of two combined emotions - relish and anguish - which structure audiences' reactions to controversial elements in the series. -- .\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302073676149,"sku":"9781526171948","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526171948.jpg?v=1762792233","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781526171948","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
