Description

Description

Serialized storytelling offers unique opportunities for exploring age and aging in television narratives. Unlike films, TV series can unfold over hundreds of episodes and multiple seasons, allowing for complex representations of time and its effects on individuals. This volume examines how TV series shape cultural perceptions of age and aging, using examples from popular shows to illustrate the ways in which narrative temporalities and chronological linearity are revised. By investigating these representations, the book aims to understand what it means to live in time. By exploring the role of television in shaping our understanding of age and aging, this study provides a nuanced analysis of contemporary cultural practices and new media technologies.
