Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's celebrated 'consulting detective', is a cultural icon with millions of fans across the world. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, he has appeared on screen more than any other fictional character. Dr. Sean Holmes's paper will explore the changing representation of Sherlock Holmes in cinema and television, paying particular attention to the BBC's Sherlock, a television show that has enjoyed extraordinary global success and made British actor Benedict Cumberbatch an international star. Dr. Holmes is also interested in hearing your views on why Sherlock is so popular in China.
主讲人简介：
Dr.Sean Holmes teaches in the Film and Television Studies programme and is presently Departmental Director (Learning and Teaching). He graduated from Durham University with a degree in Modern History. He went on to complete an MA in American History at Bowling Green State University, Ohio and a PhD in American History at New York University. He has published extensively on the politics of cultural production in the United States, focusing in particular on trade unionism in the early twentieth-century American theatre and the regulation of actors' labour in silent-era Hollywood.

He is collaborating with Andrew Dawson and the BECTU History Project on a number of oral history initiatives and has just begun a project on working with celluloid which will document the experiences of technicians (cutting-room workers, lab workers, projectionists, etc.) whose working lives, prior to the advent of digital technologies, were defined by handling film.
