Beyond representation poses the question as to whether over the
last thirty years there have been signs of 'progress' or
'progressiveness' in the representation of 'marginalised' or
subaltern identity categories within television drama in Britain
and the US. In doing so it interrogates some of the key assumptions
concerning the relationship between aesthetics and the politics of
identity that have influenced and informed television drama
criticism during this period. This book can function as a textbook
because it provides students with a clear and coherent pathway
through complex, wide-reaching and highly influential
interdisciplinary terrain. Yet its rigorous and incisive
re-evaluation of some of the key concepts that dominated academic
thought in the twentieth century also make it of interest to
scholars and specialists. Chapters examine ideas around politics
and aesthetics emerging from Marxist-socialism and postmodernism,
feminism and postmodern feminism, anti-racism and postcolonialism,
queer theory and theories of globalisation, so as to evaluates
their impact on television criticism and on television as an
institution. These discussions are consolidated through case
studies that offer analyses of a range of television drama texts
including Big Women, Ally McBeal, Supply and Demand, The Bill,
Second Generation, Star Trek (Enterprise), Queer as Folk,
Metrosexuality and The Murder of Stephen Lawrence. This book is
aimed at students and scholars of Television Drama, Media and
Communication, Cultural Studies, Women's Studies and those
concerned with questions of politics and aesthetics in other
disciplines.

In the second part of 'Seven Citadels', Prince Kerish and his
soldier half-brother, Forollkin, continue their search for the keys
to the Savior's prison. The ugly and irritating Gidjabolgo has his
own reasons for joining the voyage through perilous swamps to the
mountains where an immortal sorceress holds the third key. Beyond
the mountains, the companions are captured by the nomadic
Erandachi-the tribe of Kerish's long dead mother. Kerish and
Forollkin are welcomed into the tribe but forbidden ever to leave.

breaking-point, Kerish vows to prove himself as a warrior.
In the first part of 'Seven Citadels', Prince Kerish, pampered
favorite son of the Emperor of Galkis, and his half-brother
Forollkin, are sent to find seven sorcerers who each hold the key
to a gate. Legend says that that the seven gates imprison a Savior,
who alone can save the embattled Galkian Empire and its Godborn
rulers. In the dangerous world beyond Galkis, Kerish is forced to
depend on his soldier brother. The prince soon discovers something
that will make their quest much more difficult-if a sorcerer
surrenders his key, he also gives up immortality. When the first
sorcerer turns out to be a benevolent philosopher king, the
brothers begin to question whether the cost of saving Galkis is too
high.
