Between Habit and Thought in New TV Serial Drama: Serial Connections: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Between Habit and Thought in New TV Serial Drama: Serial Connections" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Between Habit and Thought in New TV Serial Drama: Serial Connections is a consideration of some of the key examples of serial television drama available via transnational streaming platforms in recent times. Through the individual works examined, the book exemplifies the ways in which aesthetics, technology, and capitalism weave a complex social fabric around the production of the respective television series, thus presenting this type of serial drama as a finely engineered cultural production. Taking Bernard Stieglers notion of an image warfare as its starting point, the author critically investigates the strategies deployed by the shows producers to navigate this dynamic, shaped by the new spirit of capitalism. With creativity intrinsic to the process, on the one hand, and a highly efficient drive for capturing and fixing attention driven by algorithm and economic logic, on the other, the author maps the processes at work in the production of high-value serial drama and considers how, despite this tension, they manage to present meaningful insights into the experience of being in this world: A world shaped by trauma, a desire for justice, and a search for systems of belief that can offer a way through the vicissitudes of contemporary life. Framed by a detailed analysis of the multiple processes that shape these works is a sustained analysis of the serials Mr Robot, Billions, The Leftovers, Rectify, and Westworld, and the dynamics of despair and hope that ripple through them. As such, it will appeal to readers of film and television studies, cultural theory, and those interested in furthering a critical aesthetics for our time.

Series Editors: Ross Abbinnett
University of Birmingham

Lancaster University
A platform for new works devoted to exploring contemporary crises and drawing on and developing different critical traditions such as neo-Marxism, feminism, postcolonialism, queer theory, poststructuralism, critical discourse analysis, and ecological and environmental approaches Media, Culture and Critique: Future Imperfect presents theoretically-informed and politically-engaged studies that share a fundamental concern with interrogating the discrepancies between the potentialities and rhetorics of new technologies and their actual utilization in the service of hegemonic interests. Whether with respect to 21st century capitalism and new political economies of culture, global mediascapes and digital economies, urban transformation and militarization, the proliferation of consumption and media sites and spaces, biotechnologies and the body, or the exploitation and destruction of Nature, the series welcomes theoretically-driven explorations of the technological and mediatized future, and the cultural manifestations of neoliberalism.

For my sons Cassius, Finnian, and Niall
Look Balaki, the king said. Do you see that spider?
Yes, said Balaki, I see the spider moving along its web.
We are like the spider, said the king. We weave our life, and then move along in it. We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream.
This is true for the entire universe. That is why it is said, Having created the creation, the Creator entered into it.
This is true for us. We create our world, and then enter into that world. We live in the world that we have created. When our hearts are pure, then we create the beautiful, enlightened life we have wished for.
