New Review of Journal of Popular Television 10.2!
Check out the recent review of the Journal of Popular Television Special Issue on ‘Histories and new directions: Soap opera/serial narrative research’ from Critical Studies in Television 18.4!
'Overall, this special issue places attention on a genre too often ignored or maligned by media corporations and academics alike, whilst remaining important to its audiences as well as being an important training ground for actors, writers and other professionals. Articles here remind us that the conventions of soap opera and serial narrative formats continually inspire other media, including those more ‘prestige’ formats to which we often pay more critical attention. This collection also reminds us that soap and serial narrative formats remain important, and that the industry and the academy alike should pay more attention to them, or we risk losing one of the most important genres in the history of television.'
