Abstract

For many years, television series have become subject of study by academics. This is because, in the past two decades, serial fictions created by the television industry have reached three important goals: by one hand, the support nowadays of a new audience that finds standards of quality present before only in the cinema; secondly, the praise from critics that recognizes important narrative and artistic values in many titles and, ultimately, television series have contributed to push important changes in the television industry itself and in its forms of exhibition and consumption. This monograph is a compendium of university specialists who are working on these subjects and turn their attention to particular aspects in these three areas.
