"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
"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
"Suture and Narrative is a theoretically bracing, deeply learned,
and wonderfully illuminating work that makes an important
contribution both to narratology and film theory. The major
innovation of this new book is to bring the vocabulary and insights
not only of phenomenology but also of film theory--in particular,
the concept of cinematic editing as 'suture'--together with those
of narratology. This is a passionate and provocative study that
will make for an excellent addition to the Theory and
Interpretation of Narrative series." --Susan Fraiman, University of
Virginia
