- Inhalt
- This seminar explores (fictional) representations of families in American television series – from Leave It to Beaver (1957-63) to The Cosby Show (1984-92), and Roseanne (1988-97) and zooming in on recent productions like Brothers & Sisters (2006-11), Sons of Anarchy (2008-14), and Modern Family (2009-). Historically, we will trace the developments of postwar television culture andits connection to (suburban) family life and domesticity into the 21st century and contemporary depictions of family life on the ‘small screen’. Drawing on a broad range of theoretical sources, we will examine selected series regarding their conceptualizations of family and kinship. We will analyze their respective portrayal of family life in its gendered, racialized, regional, and socio-economic frameworks and with regard to its social and political significance.
