For nine seasons, Chris Carter’s series broke new ground in complex narrative television by integrating science fiction and horror with the forensic investigation of the detective genre. Shaped by the conspiracy films of the 1970s, the series had the ability to comment on the contemporary political climate one week and poke fun at its own self-seriousness the next. Responding to its cinematic visual style, haunting score, complex and nuanced writing, witty dialog, and the exceptional acting of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, who elevated the show with their chemistry, fans embraced \u003cem\u003eThe X-Files\u003c\/em\u003e, making it one of the most beloved cult television series to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe aim of this book is to provide the reader with several points of entry into the television series, with social, cultural, and political analyses framed by the examination of the show’s many overlapping genres. Divided into chapters highlighting the episodic standalones known as the “monster-of-the-week” (MOTW) and the serial mythology or “mytharc,” the first section of the book explores the ways the MOTWs represented social differences in stories of fantastic, supernatural beings both strange and estranged. Through comparative analyses and detailed discussions of individual episodes, it becomes clear that the MOTWs were less concerned with the alien than with alienation, using the figure of the “monster” to focus on a range of ethnic, racial, and social outsiders. The latter half of the book turns to the serialized mythology, examining both the arc of the alien conspiracy as well as the fan-driven relationship between Mulder and Scully.

Deborah Jermyn’s Sex and the City investigates the program’s critical and popular success as well as its lasting cultural impact. To give readers a complete picture of Sex and the City, Jermyn draws on close textual analysis of selected episodes, existing critical work on the program, testimonies from its stars and producers, and intertextual evidence ranging from the Sex and the City bus tour to fan guides and Web sites.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn this volume Jermyn explores the show’s characters, its careful generic balance of comedy and drama, its mix of both fantasy and realism, and its dedication to the intricacies of women’s friendships. Jermyn notes that in the course of its six seasons Sex and the City emerged as a kind of controversial shorthand to explore the zeitgeist among a generation of post-feminist TV audiences, each week considering issues surrounding femininity, feminism, sexuality, consumerism, and women’s lifestyle choices. Jermyn argues that, in short, Sex and the City’s success and wider cultural impact invite us not just to analyze the particular accomplishments of its writing, design, and performances but to recognize the contribution and significance that television can have on public debate and life outside \"the box.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the 2008 release of a full-length—and long-awaited—feature film version of Sex and the City, the series proves itself once again to be timely and relevant.

A product of the turn toward revisionist \"quality\" television in the post-broadcast era, \u003cem\u003eThe Killing\u003c\/em\u003e also stands as a pioneering example of the changing gender dynamics of early twenty-first-century television. Author John Alberti looks at how the show's focus shifts the police procedural away from the idea that solving the mystery of whodunit means resolving the crime, and toward dealing with the ongoing psychological aftermath of crime and violence on social and family relationships. This attention to what creator and producer Veena Sud describes as the \"real cost\" of murder defines \u003cem\u003eThe Killing\u003c\/em\u003e as a milestone feminist revision of the crime thriller and helps explain why it has provoked such strong critical reactions and fan loyalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlberti examines the history of women detectives in the television police procedural, paying particular attention to how the cultural formation of the traditionally male noir detective has shaped that history. Through a careful comparison with the Danish original, \u003cem\u003eForbrydelsen, \u003c\/em\u003eand a season-by-season overview of the series, Alberti argues that \u003cem\u003eThe Killing\u003c\/em\u003e rewrites the masculine lone wolf detective-a self-styled social outsider who sees the entanglements of relationships as threats to his personal autonomy-of the classic noir. Instead, lead detective Sarah Linden, while wary of the complications of personal and social attachments, still recognizes their psychological and ethical inescapability and necessity. In the final chapter, the author looks at how the show's move to ever-expanding niche markets and multi-viewing options, along with an increase in feminist reconstructions of various television genr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wayne State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52668070822255,"sku":"9780814342121","price":179.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0814342124.jpg?v=1770927188"}],"url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/collections\/critica-e-teoria-da-televisao.oembed","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
