Description:
This book seeks to understand how gender as a practice is generated by television narratives in the overlapping of text, reception and production, and explores the viewer practices that these narratives seek to trigger and draw on in the process.
Brief description: Maria Sulimma is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Anglophone Studies at the University of Duisburg-Essen.
Review Quotes: In this timely, important, intervention in gender and media studies, Maria Sulimma focuses on television's re-positioning in recent years as a site of great gender complexity and virtuosic seriality. She works from a very full definition of the medium that encompasses DVD extras, interviews, recaps and fan discourse.-- "Diane Negra, University College Dublin"
