To Be Continued... explores the world's most popular form of
television drama; the soap opera. From Denver to Delhi, Moscow to
Manchester, audiences eagerly await the next episode of As the
World Turns, The Rich Also Weep or Eastenders. But the popularity
of soap operas in Britain and the US pales in comparison to the
role that they play in media cultures in other parts of the world.
To Be Continued... investigates both the cultural specificity of
television soap operas and their reception in other cultures,
covering soap production and soap watching in the U.S., Asia,
Europe, Australia and Latin America. The contributors consider the
nature of soap as a media text, the history of the serial narrative
as a form, and the role of the soap opera in the development of
feminist media criticism.
To Be Continued... presents the first scholarly examination of soap
opera as global media phenomenon.
