"Media of Serial Narrative is a necessary and exciting anthology in
any study of contemporary storytelling." --Linda Williams, author
of Playing the Race Card: Melodramas of Black and White from Uncle
Tom to O. J. Simpson and On The Wire
"Media of Serial Narrative is a strong collection that adds
significantly to our understanding of seriality across media. As a
whole, the volume both ranges widely across media and time and also
tightly coheres around the history of seriality. I believe Media of
Serial Narrative will have real impact in the fields of film,
television, literature, comics, and games where there is interest
in seriality, and I highly recommend it." -Greg Smith, author of
Beautiful TV: The Art and Argument of Ally McBeal and Film
Structure and the Emotion System
"Media of Serial Narrative is an important and timely book. ... It
expands the scope and territory of serial criticism to the realms
of cinema and games (Denson and Sudmann), which are not covered by
traditional scholarship. ... [and] represents a valuable resource
for everyone
in media and American studies and interested in popular seriality."
--Gunter S�ẞ, Amerikastudien
"This bouquet of essays assembles the best work of an international
collaborative inquiry into how cultures narrate themselves. Once
you understand the concept of seriality, the world will never look
the same, from mitosis and planetary rotation to comics and
television shows. This volume ranges across the variegated forms of
popular culture of the last two centuries, casting searchlights
into serial nooks and crannies." --John Durham Peters, author of
The Marvelous Clouds: Toward a Philosophy of Elemental Media
