Description

Television Drama Theories and Identities by Sue Thornham and Tony Purvis offers a clear account of theoretical approaches to television drama. This book provides a framework for exploring the usefulness of contemporary theories of identity, culture, and representation in TV dramas. The authors argue that TV drama is a key site for examining these concepts, linking their analysis to broader theoretical concepts explored in cultural, media, and film studies. The book covers a range of approaches and texts, including sitcoms, docudramas, and sci-fi, making it an ideal resource for students studying Media Studies, Cultural Studies, Communication Studies, and Television and Film Studies. Organised around the themes of identity and subjectivity, this comprehensive guide provides critical accounts of specific theoretical approaches, demonstrating their application across a range of TV dramas.
