The notion of seriality and serial identity performance runs as a
strong undercurrent through much of the fields of gender studies,
feminist theory and queer studies, although the explicit analysis
of a serial enactment of gender is surprisingly rare. Whereas media
studies and cultural studies-based seriality scholarship can often
overlook gender as an ongoing process, this book defines gender as
a serial and discursively produced, intersectional entanglement of
different practices and agencies. It argues that serial
storytelling offers such complex negotiations of identity that it
is never adequate to consider the 'results' of televisual gender
performances as separate from the processes that produce them. As
such, gender performances are not restricted to individual
television programmes themselves, but are also located in official
paratexts, such as making-of documentaries, interviews with writers
and actors, as well as in cultural sites like online viewer
discussions, recaps and fan fiction. With case studies of series
such as Girls, How to Get Away With Murder and The Walking Dead,
this book seeks to understand how gender as a practice is generated
by television narratives in the overlapping of text, reception and
production, and explores which viewer practices these narratives
seek to trigger and draw on in the process.
