ABSTRACT Blue Murder (ABC, 1995) was one of a quartet of docudramas about official corruption broadcast in the 1990s in Australia. Unlike the other three, it retained currency until 2017. One of its lead characters, the disgraced former detective Roger Rogerson, used his portrayal in the program by the actor Richard Roxburgh in his later career as an ‘underworld exhibitionist’ (Penfold-Mounce). News and current affairs programs also used excerpts from Blue Murder to illustrate stories about Rogerson’s and his associates’ criminal activities. The article examines how the docudrama made it possible to grasp a coherent picture of Rogerson, otherwise dispersed across short-lived and often very partial news and current affairs items. It also explores how this use complicates the concepts of the ‘body too much’ (Comolli) and ‘body too many’ (Nichols). After Rogerson was convicted of murder in 2016, a melodramatic sequel Blue Murder: Killer Cop (Seven Network, 2017), again starring Roxburgh as Rogerson, was screened, restoring the ‘body too much’. With Rogerson aged and incarcerated for life, the unusual persistence of the docudrama Blue Murder has ended.

纪录片的不寻常持久性:蓝色谋杀案和尸体太多

摘要《蓝谋杀案》(ABC,1995年)是关于1990年代在澳大利亚播出的官方腐败现象的四重文件之一。与其他三个国家不同,它保留了货币直到2017年。其主要角色之一,这位名不见经传的前侦探罗杰·罗杰森(Roger Rogerson),在演员理查德·罗克斯堡(Richard Roxburgh)后来的节目中扮演的角色是“黑社会暴露者”(Penfold-Mounce) 。新闻和时事节目还使用了《蓝色谋杀案》的摘录来说明有关罗杰森及其同伙的犯罪活动的故事。本文探讨了纪录片如何使人们掌握了罗杰森的连贯画作,而这些画作分散在短命的,往往是非常部分的新闻和时事报道中。它还探讨了这种用法如何使“过多的身体”(Comolli)和“过多的身体”(Nichols)的概念复杂化。罗杰森在2016年因谋杀罪被定罪后,又由Roxburgh主演罗杰森的一部情节续集《蓝色谋杀:杀手警察》(2017年,七人网)被放映,使``尸体过多''恢复原状。随着罗杰森(Rogerson)的衰老和终身监禁,纪录片《蓝色谋杀》(Blue Murder)的异常持久性已经结束。
