Examining this curious phenomenon, Sebastian Naumann provides a wide-ranging analysis of the rapidly evolving landscape of contemporary polit-series. Proposing a novel structural model of serial television, he offers an innovative methodological framework for comparative textual analysis that integrates sociocultural, economic, sociotechnical, narratological, and aesthetic perspectives. This study furthermore explores how the changing affordances of (nonlinear) television impact serial storytelling and identifies key narrative trends and recurring themes in contemporary TV polit-fiction. 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies$2bisacsh 610 $aBritish Studies. 610 $aMedia Aesthetics. 610 $aMedia Studies. 610 $aMedia. 610 $aPolitics. 610 $aStorytelling. 610 $aTelevision. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies. 676 $a791.456581 700 $aNaumann$b Sebastian$01781721 701 $aArndt$b Maria$01782233 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996649871703316 996 $aThe Politics of Serial Television Fiction$94343564 997 $aUNISA
