Reviews

This rigorous, insightful, and often delightful collection grapples ably with an ongoing and constitutive dialectic of television: series is constituted by episode. Brevity makes possible serial duration. As television undergoes massive, rapid change, this volume carefully tracks those transformations through a series of brilliant, brief analyses. The result? Required reading. * Samuel A. Chambers, Johns Hopkins University * This is a timely, brilliant volume by sterling scholars. Through its focus on the many reflexive forms of brevity (scenes, episodic anthologies, special episodes, shortcoms, miniseries, paratextual videos) and its emphasis on the fragment as well as the whole, it enriches our understanding of television seriality in a decisive way. * Sarah Hatchuel, Professor in Film and Media Studies, Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3, France *
