内容简介
Fans, Feminisms and 'Quality' Media considers how popular and long-running radio and TV programs participate in ideologies of national unity and coherence. Through in-depth research and interviews with listeners and viewers, Lyn Thomas explores the tensions between "fandom" and "quality" in media discourse, showing how popular radio and television series become part of their audience's own personal stories and identities. Examining the connections between these programs and heritage film, she reveals how both programs reflect, in different ways, tensions in postcolonial British culture, and explores issues of gender representation, ethnicity, and sexuality.
