O livro não é bem novo, visto que saiu em Março de 2010 mas só agora tive conhecimento dele. Chama-se Screwball Television: Critical Perspective on Gilmore Girls (Television and popular Culture). o livro trata-se de um conjunto de 17 ensaios sobre variados temas relacionados com a sociedade actual. Temas que vão do feminismo ao elitismo educacional. Parece-me super interessante e depois do companion é o livro que vou comprar.
Fiquem com uma descrição do livro:
Bringing together seventeen original essays by scholars from around the world, Screwball Television offers a variety of international perspectives on Gilmore Girls (WB/CW, 2000–2007). Adored by fans and celebrated by critics for its sophisticated wordplay and compelling portrayal of a mother-daughter relationship, this contemporary American TV program finally gets its due as a cultural production unlike any other— one that is beholden to Hollywood’s screwball comedies of the 1930s, steeped in intertextual references, and framed as a "kinder, gentler kind of cult television series" in this tightly focused yet wide-ranging collection.
This volume makes a significant contribution to television studies, genre studies, and women’s studies, taking Gilmore Girls as its focus while adopting a panoramic critical approach sensitive to such topics as
- serialized fiction
- elite education
- addiction as a social construct
- food consumption and the disciplining of bodies
- post-feminism and female desire
- depictions of journalism in popular culture
- the changing face of masculinity in contemporary U.S. society
- liturgical and ritualistic structures in televisual narrative
- Orientalism and Asian representations on American TV
- Internet fan discourses
- new genre theories attuned to the landscape of twenty-first-century media convergence
