Television, Seriality, Affect
07.07.2010
How do the changing temporalities of television affect its representations and their limits? Thinking about the shifts in the US from network television in the midcentury, to public television in the late 1960s, to cable television in the 1980s, to digital television in the present moment, I focus on seriality as a key implantation of television time, capable of allowing new forms of life to live on and through television, including sustained appearances of otherwise marginalized peoples.
