Omschrijving
Analysing a wide set of TV and film genres - including crime, legal and medical dramas, comedies, horror, and reality programming – this book covers the complex ways that media responds to social movements, sometimes giving voice to brand-new or previously silenced stories, but just as often making facile references that can fuel cultural backlash.
Margaret Tally is distinguished professor of social and public policy at the School for Graduate Studies of the State University of New York, Empire State College.
