Conclusion: Engaging With the Other. 330 $aThis book examines queer characters in popular American television, demonstrating how entertainment can educate audiences about LGBT identities and social issues like homophobia and transphobia. Through case studies of musical soap operas (Glee and Empire), reality shows (RuPaul?s Drag Race, The Prancing Elites Project and I Am Cait) and ?quality? dramas (Looking, Transparent and Sense8), it argues that entertainment elements such as music, humour, storytelling and melodrama function as pedagogical tools, inviting viewers to empathise with and understand queer characters. Each chapter focuses on a particular programme, looking at what it teaches?its representation of queerness?and how it teaches this?its pedagogy. Situating the programmes in their broader historical context, this study also shows how these televisual texts exemplify a specific moment in American television. 410 0$aPalgrave Entertainment Industries 606 $aMotion pictures and television 606 $aQueer theory 606 $aUnited States?Study and teaching 606 $aScreen Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413000 606 $aQueer Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35020 606 $aAmerican Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411010 615 0$aMotion pictures and television. 615 0$aQueer theory. 615 0$aUnited States?Study and teaching. 615 14$aScreen Studies. 615 24$aQueer Theory. 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 676 $a791.45653 700 $aParsemain$b Ava Laure$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01225638 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484180203321 996 $aThe Pedagogy of Queer TV$92845637 997 $aUNINA
