Description - Television Genres by Jason Mittell
Genre and Television proposes a new understanding of television genres as cultural catagories, offering a set of in-depth historical and critical examinations to explore five key aspects of television genre: history, industry, audience, text, and genre mixing. Drawing on well-known television programs from Dragnet to The Simpsons , this book provides a new model of genre histiography and illustrates how genres are at work within nearly every facet of television - from policy decisions to production techniques to audience practices. Ulitmately, the book argues that through analyzing how television genre operates as a cultural practice, we can better comprehend how television actively shapes our social world.
