From Gesture Coding to Simulacrum Order: Decoding and Dissemination of Cross-Cultural Symbols in British TV Dramas -- A Case Study of Inside No. 9 Season 9

Xinru Liu

Abstract


Taking the phenomenal black humor anthology series Inside No. 9 Season 9 as the research object, this paper deeply explores how
British TV dramas break through the dialectical framework of media form innovation and narrative limitations, and reconstruct the audience's
decoding practice through the ritualized performance of physical symbols and the self-reference of simulacra. The ritualization constructed by
the "confined space narrative" and "meta-media interaction" in the drama enhances the viewing experience and breaks the cultural barriers of
traditional TV series. This work not only inherits the local nature of British black humor, but also realizes the recontextualization of cultural
symbols and the audience's participatory interpretation through the dissemination of global streaming platforms.
