Kurzfassung:
Television series enjoy an unbroken – popular as well as scholarly – attention. It is surprising, however, that in works on seriality in media and cultural studies, approaches to television studies and television history still play a rather minor role. Yet seriality must always be thought of in terms of television, since the two have always been indissolubly interwoven – economically, technically, and aesthetically. But what else constitutes the serial in television and how does it change its face in times of digitalization, streaming and interactivity? Is it possible to think of a genuine serial theory of the televisual – and what, in turn, can be learned from this for seriality beyond television? The essays in this volume shed new light on the serial as a core principle of television, thus providing new impulses for a television theory of the serial on the basis of examples from the current range of television series. The Editors Dr. Denis Newiak is a research associate at the Chair of Applied Media Studies at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg. Dr. Dominik Maeder is an independent researcher. Dr. Herbert Schwaab is a senior academic councillor at the Institute for Information and Media, Language and Culture at the University of Regensburg. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL. com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. .
